Customer Reviews Kenneth Cole Reaction Sim-Plicity

Beautiful pair of shoes but OMG - did they hurt for the first day or two. Phew. Ouch. Now that they are bit more worn in, they are getting much better.

Awesome looking shoe. However, it is really tight in size, is at least a 1/2 size smaller and very narrow. Shoe makes noise when I walk. It does get better as it breaks in.

These shoes look great. The only drawback on the pair that I own is that they squeak like a SOB! I hope that they will stop, the more I wear them. Other than that, I like them a lot.

Even though I bought a pair of these at an outlet, I still give it 2 stars. The shoes do feel half a size smaller when you first wear it. But, after you break them in, it feels true to size. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. Soles have insufficient padding (like 3mm). I have blisters on my ankles because the ridges of the shoe have no cushioning. The tongue is nothing but a thin slab of leather. The only saving grace is the shoes look nice. Never buying KC shoes again. Rockports are ugly, but those shoes sure are comfortable.

I bought these shoes for my 14 year old son. My 21 year old son also has a pair. We love these shoes! They are comfortable and look nice for a really long time.

Comfortable shoes that I wear at work. Planning on ordering a brown pair soon. I note that I normally buy 11s in most shoes but 10 1\/2 in this brand so maybe they run big.

I bought these shoes as a gift for my son who now lives 5 states away. They arrived in 2 days and he said they fit him comfortably right out of the box, the color of the leather looked like mahogany, and the quality was just what he expected from Kenneth Cole Reaction. He has been a KCR customer for a number of years, and this is his 6-7th pair of their shoes.

Unfortunately for me, these shoes ripped my feet up. i've bought kenneth cole in the past and loved them, so i was being brand loyal. but this particular pair, if i hadn't already worn them outside to get to work, would definitely be returned. it's sad because that is money down the drain, but perhaps kenneth cole just varies the styles enough not to always fit properly. oh well, good luck!

Great shoe - I'm not generally one of those shoe fanatic types but I've become a pretty big fan of KC Reaction shoes over the years because I think they are a solid value for the money. Particularly in brown leather these are a cut above others in this price range. They look nice and hold up well. Definitely worth the extra money versus some of the other lesser alternatives that may look comparable when viewing online. I've made the mistake of trying them. Save yourself the aggravation and buy these.

Most Disappointed I've ever been with a Shoe - At first glance the shoe seemed acceptable. With that, I took it out of the box and put them on and threw the box away (completely my fault). I put them on for work the next day and realized I had just purchased the most uncomfortable shoe of my life. The heel support is terrible and gave me blisters. The leather it noticeably cheap. The style is decent at best. Overall, I would not recommend this shoe to anyone.

Nice fit; handsome shoe - I have this shoe in cordovan; I bought it for more elsewhere this past summer. The cordovan was not such a great fit and I had to break them in. Not so with the black pair that I bought from Zappos! They were comfortable right out of the box! I spend quite a bit of time on my feet at work; I sell new homes for a living, so I need comfortable stylish shoes. These fit the bill remarkably well and I have put them in regular rotation. They have a pre-shined look that has a very nice patina. What I mean to say is that they don't look at all like patent leather; not that there is anything wrong with that! I have to say that I receive plenty of positive comments about the shoes from customers and associates. They are a fairly Alternative-Rock shoe if you want to compare them musically to a standard wing-tip which I would classify as Classic-Rock shoe, with a cap-toe being Hair-Bands.

Kenny Cole is the man! Readers, a definitely great looking shoe for dress up and dress and dress down. Would recommend for the guy that's looking for shoe with class and good looks. The only drawback to the shoe is that it's just a little tight in the tongue area. However, I think when the shoe stretches, this will be relieved.

Had to send back because felt smaller than marked. A little narrow also. Definitely have to break in. The shoes also squeak when you walk in them. However, they are a good looking shoe. Not too bad after they are broken in.

Too Narrow. Poor Construction - I do not have a very wide foot, but these shoes are too narrow. The pair I received was so narrow, they burst at the seams after 2 wears. They are not available in a wide with. Think twice before ordering these shoes.

Not sure at first but love them now - It took a few days to break them in as I developed blisters on both heels the first time I wore them. After day 3 they are perfect. Despite the rough start these are extremely comfortable shoes and are exactly the style I like.

Simply the best.... ...the shoes take a few days to break in, but are stylish and become quite comfortable...I have had to replace the first pair I purchased in less than a year because of a "side blow out" where some stitching came undone...but for the money I highly recommend this shoe.

Too small! This is my fourth pair of Kenneth Cole shoes and they are not sized as labeled. They are at least a half size smaller than the label, which is disappointing especially when ordering shoes online, way too much of a hassle. I'll definitely think twice before ordering another pair of KC shoes.
