Comfortable shoe,nice fit
Reviewer Karl E Martell
The color of these is phenomenal, and the stitching is excellent. I really like them. I bought them for my daughter, who collects them, and she's so pleased with the color.

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.

Good shoe for the price. Not easy to just slip on, but once you have them laced, they feel great.

This is the first work shoe that is narrow enough for my husband’s foot. We are buying a second pair to have on hand because they are so comfortable and sturdy.

Superstars have been in style since the 80's and keep on rocking. These Vulcs are a bit lighter than the original and the insole is different. The insoles are comfortable, but they aren't as slick and more of a rubber kind of material that don't really allow you to slip these one while leaving the laces tied like the original. Also the stripes are more integrated into the side instead of being a seperate stitched piece like on the originals and tend to crack kind of over time. Besides that, I do find they wear better over time than the originals.

These fit as expected and are stylish and comfortable. This oxford incorporates our loafer comfort on a lace-up shoe updated with a modern bi-colored sole & contrasted welt. The elevated unit sole provides for unique comfort. The perforated kid napa leather upper is buttery soft while adding a relaxed & fresh aesthetic.

I'm a football official and these are a nice compromise to all the options out there. The price is very nice, but they are comfortable, lightweight and well built. I have had issues with NB not bending at the right place for my foot. That has caused toe discomfort and even cramping. These do not to this. It may be my foot, but I'm a big Reebok fan because of it.
Polish up nicely too so you can impress the coaches - LOL!
I believe they can also be worn as dress casual with black slacks to do presentation as well.
Just a good option for football and baseball officials!

Kind of tight in the toes
Reviewer BrainWeasel
At first my hubs felt weird, unsure of step but you just have to wear + get used to the height. The finish can be wiped off w/damp rag as dirt really shows. Soles are thick & well made. Inside is where the additional height comes from. These are comfortable, casual shoes that are going to add some height without looking like yr trying.
