Customer Reviews Kenneth Cole Reaction Sim-Plicity

Bought them just prior to a trade show. 10 hour days on my feet was no problem. Second pair of Coles and still satisfied.

My second pair of these. They've changed slightly since the first pair. They now require less breaking in and have more cushioning, but they seem a bit bulkier too. Once I broke the first pair in, they were great and I'm not sure I like these quite as much. The first pair lasted a long time, took a lot of abuse, and stayed shiny.

Love this shoe. It took a couple of days to get used to, but it fits great now. The sole seems to be wearing off a little at the edges, but I guess that has to be expected for rubber soles. Good value for the price.

Stylish, classy, and comfortable shoe that presents well at the office or formal event.

Good shoes for the price. They tend to crease around the flex-areas a little more than I would like but it's typical with stuff used to manufacture these. All-in-all, a good shoe for the money.

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.

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.

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.

As I write this review, the right shoe is at a local shoe repair shop getting glued because the leather started separating from the sole. If you have thin feet, this should not be a problem. The length and width are fine. They look good. However, I wish I'd bought the Kenneth Coles I was replacing - much more room.

This shoe overall for me is a great shoe but the pair I received squeak very loudly. I thought because of the newest it would cease but the squeaking continues.

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

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 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.

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.

Very stiff and uncomfortable around the ankle.

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).

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.

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.

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

Shoes squeak terribly. Not at all what I'd expect from a KC product. Very disappointed. I must have gotten these by mistake, my old pairs of KC NY with Silver Technology are amazing.

I've owned several pairs of KC Reaction for years, so I was looking forward to replacing an old, favorite, worn-out pair with these. Quality has gone way downhill. They're advertised as leather upper, but it's plastic. Sole is very cheap -- think $20 discount shoe store cheap. Too bad, because they look great in the pictures, but I promptly returned them. They're not the same KC Reaction from years past.
