Customer Reviews Kenneth Cole Reaction Sim-Plicity

Timeless style….my fourth pair.

Very stiff and uncomfortable around the ankle.

Great fit not my style

No the right look that I was expecting from Kenneth Cole...these are a duller black than what I was look for...they look pretty cheap. Not sure why they cancelled some of their similar products from a few years ago, but they've really gone the cheap route with this one (IMHO).

Cheap cheap cheap The quality of these shoes has gone straight downhill Dont waste your money

Getting ready to buy my 3rd pair!

Gorgeous Shoe, very comfortable..

These shoes just don't last. I bought a pair in May and come October they are already falling apart. I wear these shoes maybe 2-3 times a week so at best 60 times since I bought them new and the heal is coming apart and the sole is developing holes. Pretty crappy construction for a pair of dress shoes, even if they were on the lower price range. I used to enjoy Kenneth Cole shoes but not anymore.

I have tried just about every brand's style of this shoe. While I like the styling and comfort of this shoe, it simply did not last. I wore this shoe 3-4 days a week and I started developing holes in both heels after about 6 months and they are really starting to look worn.

I love these shoes and was so happy to see that they were on sale. I think I know why. Although the site says they are leather - they if fact, are not. Under the tongue of the shoe, it says Upper: Man-made, Lower: Man-made, Sole: Man-mad. Made in China. They're gorgeous shoes, but I'm not going to expect they will last as long as I hope. I've been a Kenneth Cole fan for years and it seems that the quality has dropped considerably. This makes my heart ache. ??

Worst quality shoe I've ever owned. Heel split. Bonded leather peeled and cracked. Avoid at all costs. I used to have a pair of KC just like this style that lasted a few years, so I thought I was getting the same quality.

Love at first sight, then it all went sour. Poor quality from my perspective. All of my work shoes last a long time. These started cracking withing two months. Little after 4 months after the purchase, the top of the shoes are all cracked and peeled. Not happy with these shoes at all.

I love these shoes. Stylish, elegant and comfortable. Goes with jeans and suits too!

These shoes look fantastic and are very comfortable. They have, however, squeaked every day of the 8+ months I've worn them- it's horribly annoying. The first few days were a bit painful, but they've been comfortable- even when I have to walk or stand all day.

Excellent shoes!!! This is my third time purcahsing this exact shoe for my husband. They last long and go with any outfit.

Simply a terrible shoe and here is why...The construction is subpar for a shoe in this price range. I owned a pair of KC Reaction shoes, very similar, had them for a few years, no problems, but finally wore out. I was so impressed with their previous durability, I bought these. What a mistake. 1) Just after a year of wear, and keep in mind that this isn't every day wear, or "hard" wearing of the shoe, the soles cracked at the ball of my toe, and now I can't wear them when its wet or my sock gets soaked. 2) The side of the shoe that bends with your toe when you walk started cracking and the "leather" cover is peeling. It just crinkled and finally cracked and now has peeled. 3) Minor, but the laces broke, actually unraveled then pulled apart. Just a testament to the poor quality of the rest of the shoe. I paid a lot for my pair. I see now this shoe is less? This is absurd. A great looking show but Poor craftsmanship through and through. Pass these up and find something better.

I`ve been wearing these shoes for a good 5 years now… just retired my 3rd pair. I wear shoes everyday and on weekends so I really wear them down fast. With that said, the Simplicity shoe is flexible in that I wear it for work and leisure, I also pair them up with a suit and jeans. Not too many shoes work in both worlds. Even after being on these shoes all day long, they are supportive and my feet don`t bother me. My only gripe and it is minor is that the shoes do take a good 3 wears to break in. My suggestion is to break them in on an "off" day. Wear them for an hour, take them off. Wear them on another day for an hour then take them off. Repeat cycle… at least this way you`re breaking them in and not bruising yourself. Other than that, I`m getting another pair. For the price and considering the amount of usage I get out of them, these are a good priced and solid pair of shoes.

I love the way these shoes look. I wore them often. However, they broke down way too easily. I had a hole in the left shoe at the sole and leather within a month or two. They definitely need broken in to feel comfortable. they squeak also even after several months of wear. too bad because I love the way the look.

Comfortable! Interior is padded and walking around in them, even a lot, is comfy. I've had Kenneth Cole shoes before like these, and they've improved the sole by making it part leather, part rubber, and that suggests longer-lasting durability. Super-shiny! Nice black shoes that I wear with slacks or with jeans.

Work in an office and these started falling apart after a few months. Leather started to peel off the toe area. Heel is starting to come off the back on both shoes.

I love how these shoes look and feel but the squeak that these shoes constantly make is driving me crazy. I hope it goes away after more wear, but based on other reviews I'm doubtful that will happen.

I have wide, flat feet and wear orthotics because of them. I'm sure someone with a normal foot would have a better fit, but I am able to wear them comfortably at work all day.

One of the worst pairs of shoes I ever had. The heals separated after 2 months of minimal use

I had a pair of these for eight years and loved them since I bought them. After eight years, I finally need to replace them. I've kept wooden shoe trees in them the entire time. My experience is that they are comfortable, stylish, and wear better than any pair of shoes I've ever had. Also had the slip on version of this shoe with a similar experience. Looking for new KC's now.
