Customer Reviews Simple Old School Sneaker

Wow. I remember having a pair of these in high school, during the 90's. They are also twice as comfortable as I remember. Well worth the money!

Felt way too small in the rounded toe. A bit narrow as well. Sizing for larger feet may not be accurate (14). Unfortunately, I had to return them. I really had high hopes.

These are very comfortable shoes. I will tell you that they run small; I normally wear a 9 and had to return for a 10. I worn them vacation everyday the week; good support!

Comfortable, but they don't breathe very well. I wear these on 12-16 hour shifts in the hospital when I'm on my feet almost the entire time. Given that, they treat my feet pretty well.

Well it took 3 sizes to get the fit right, but Zappos was true to their word & shipped the shoes out promptly each time using my store credit. I've got a narrow foot so maybe that's why they seemed a bit bigger than my normal size 12 - had to go 1/2 size down. I wouldn't do any super long walking trips in these (I wear my NB 927 for that), but they have a certain amount of younger style appeal that I like.

I saw these shoes at a store in Fort Bragg. They didn't have my size, so I didn't buy them there. They remind of shoes I used to have when I was a kid.

These shoes are mint! this is the first pair of shoes I ever bought a second time; had them originally in the mid 90s. These can and should be worn every day. Great with jeans or khakis. The only thing is my feet are on the long and narrow-ish side and the shoe feels a bit roomy to me above the foot even though the length and width are right.

Great shoe and very comfortable. One thing is that it may get a little sweaty or hot because there's no real vent-age. Looks great and it's good quality. Would definitely buy again! Just get half size bigger and you can't go wrong.

Casual comfortable. Adequate support, arch support could be a bit better.

Love Simple Shoes for the fact that they are somewhat biodegradable. This is a replacement for my son\'s old worn out pair. Simple shoes are not that easy to find in the stores. Thanks to Zappos ordering was so easy. My order came in a few days and in perfect condition. Best of all, no shipping charge.

Very comfortable & great style but had to change the laces the off white just didn\'t look right.

Like the Look - Liked the look & style but still waiting to see if they get more comfortable when broken in. Only worn three times, though.

Very Comfortable - This shoe is very comfortable. When I couldn't find Puma Suedes in the color that I like because they are trying to go all-80's with gaudiness, I took a look at a pair of Vans which ran a little thin. Then I tried out these and they were extremely comfortable. My only issues are that I wish they had them in light gray and that after a couple weeks I still get a little squeaking sound that you can hear when I'm walking around the quiet halls in the office.

Very comfortable, versatile, great-looking, but... I bought this shoe for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved them. The only complaint he had was that the inside heel started to wear out and actually cut his heel. To be fair, he wore them pretty much every day for almost a year before it got to the point that he was bleeding. I would say the heels held up for about 8 months. But, they were a good price and he loved them while they lasted!

Love these shoes almost as much as my dog does - Since she has eaten two pair in four months!!! Anyways I love them enough to buy them over and over again. The only downside is the canvas inner lining wears out kind of quickly. But for looks and comfort, they can't be beat.

Hard to fit Birkenstocks, Red Wing wearer - These are very comfortable shoes and this comes from someone who prefers Birkenstocks, Red Wings boots, Earth and tennis shoes. I got these when my last pair of New Balance CT 300 canvas court shoes lastly got to many holes in them for even me to wear to work. New Balance no longer has this canvas shoe. These Simple shoes were harder than normal to get the correct fit. I normally take a men’s 7.5 USA (40EUR) or an 8 USA (41EUR) but the difference between the 7.5 & 8 in these shoes made it difficult to decide. The 7.5 has a slug but comfortable fit length wise with minimal heel slip but is tight & slightly discomforting across the width. The 8 was with a Birkenstocks like comfort in the width across the toe/ball of the foot but had way too much heel slip. These Simple shoes are taking a long time to break-in and the length of break-in period is important to me since I do not like breaking shoes or boots. I like these shoes enough that I am planning on getting at least another pair. Concerns for me are how long they will last; and keeping foot odor out. I would like Simple to make this style with either cotton canvas, hemp or jute uppers along with the suede. The only way to make these shoes would be to have them made in the USA.

Nice sneaks - These are a nice compromise between a full on skate type shoe and a pair of canvas chucks which I can't wear because no support. The guy complaining about the squeaks? Either they are wet or he is dragging his feet.

My Favorite Sneaker - These classic looking shoes are everything I want in a sneaker - clean lines, sturdy materials, and comfortable with just enough arch support. I do wish they came in an E width, but they break in nicely. The Simples I used to buy in the 90's were a little better made compared to this version, and the older ones felt a little wider as well, but it's still a great shoe.

Pretty nice - I really like the look (I have the blue and really love the ivory canvas, the stitching, and the red sole contrast). Comfort is a bit of a mixed bag from my experience - the padded collar is nice, the overall lace-up feel is nice, but slapping the shoe down on pavement transmits a palpable shock and I feel some slippage somewhere when I take energetic strides. I'm thinking of replacement footbeds for more cushioning and maybe the slippage will go down with tighter lacing and more break-in.

Sooo cool - I know these shoes are for guys, but I liked them so much and couldn't find them anywhere, I had to get them. They look good with anything and are comfortable enough to where all day long, walking all over the city. I bought a size smaller than I usually would according to what i had read on recommendations. I wish I had only gone a half size, but they are still comfortable enough to wear all the time.

Looking for the perfect suede sneaker... I've only had these shoes a few weeks but they already have the broken-in look and feel. I've tired of the hot and heavy Vans I was wearing and have been looking for the perfect replacement ever since. The Simple OS 2050 is very comfortable with room for people with wider feet. My only concern is how the upper will wear. I'll have to report back on that one...

New to Simple - Fit and finish quite good. Immediately comfortable. I toned the look of the greenish/brown/gray shoes down a bit by replacing the white laces with light brown laces. Should make for a good driving shoe as the sole is not overly light and flexible.

Cool Shoe - I love the look of these shoes. Very hip. I like an little extra room in there so I got a half size larger.

I like the shoes - The shoes were comfortable and fit to size. Overall, I am happy with the product.

Nice looking shoes - I bought these online because they had the look I wanted. They are very comfortable, and fit me perfectly. I would say that they are true to size, although they seem to run a little wider than other shoes I have had. I did develop blisters one day when I ran 3 miles in them, but they were still very new.
