Love em, have been wearing Sauconys for years, and this pair are no exception - they look cool, fit well and will no doubt last long.
Reviewer Hernn Bravo Varela
This item was good for winter. I like it
Reviewer N Bissell
The fit, construction and materials all seem first rate. I enjoy a 3 mile walk several times a week & Adidas Strutter Crosstrainers seem to breathe better than my old faithfuls. Cushioning is good.

My husband goes through shoes like crazy so I try to buy him a pair for his birthday in the summer or for the holidays. Vans are obviously more durable than the $15 shoes from Wal-Mart or Target, but paying the extra $30 for a few extra months is well worth it since my husband can go through 4 pairs of the cheap shoes in 6 months, easy!
Reviewer Jeanette G Powell
These shoes are very comfortable. They also look very sharp. I wear a size 10.5 and the shoe is true to size.

Fits well. 2nd pair Ive ordered!
Reviewer AlanGould
Good shoes - I enjoy them. They are absolutely flat so there is no arch support. If you are bothered by walking without the support you won't enjoy these, but they look and feel good otherwise and I can wear them all day. I wouldn't try and run in them!

These are very nice shoes. They're comfortable and they look nice. I have some other Simple shoes that are similar and I love them too.
The sizing seems true-to-size to me. I normally wear a 10.5-11, and like all of my Simple shoes, I ordered an 11 with these. They fit very well, as expected.
I know one of the criticisms is that they easily fall apart, but that doesn't surprise me. A tag on the shoe claims the outer soles will biodegrade within 20 years, while the outer soles on some other shoes will last 1,000 year. Considering how Simple shoes are made with recycled materials, I never expect them to be very durable shoes.
However, I don't wear the same pair of shoes every day and I don't wear my Simple shoes for outdoor activities. I have several pairs of various Simple models and they're all still holding up well. These may be an athletic style of shoes, but I wouldn't wear them for athletic purposes, not just because they probably wouldn't hold up long, but also because they're probably not the best shoes for that purpose. I guess my point is that while I'm sure they do tear up quickly with frequent wear, I don't wear mine as an everyday shoe, or an athletic shoe, and they seem to be holding up fine.
Overall, I'm very pleased with all of my shoes of this brand. They're all very comfortable and have a nice, somewhat original look about them. My only complaint is that the price tag is often too high, but they're not difficult to find on sale.
