New Balance 990v6 Made in USA Avocado / Natural Mint DFDCD1431

Reviewer Kym Ben

Super comfy. I can wear with anything. I live in Vans so these are just part of my life.

Reviewer Ally Acker

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.

It is great that the original Otomix white gym shoe is back, it is the best! A+++

Reviewer A Boston

Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!

Reviewer E Cull

These are great daily wearing shoes. They look stylish but not pretentious or flashy. I really like them and they're my second pair.

However be aware that there is a break-in period. I wore a brand new pair to a 10-day overseas trip (only shoes I brought), and the upper part of my toes was hurting for a couple of days.

Nothing bad to say actually have to order another pair..

Reviewer Tony Monchinski

I just love these shoes. First pair came from Shoes.com and this pair were cheaper. Really comfortable when I do my 3 mile walk. I alternate shoes for my walk nothing is wrong with the shoes they are great.

Reviewer Yizhar Lew

These got to me quick and was just what I was looking for. The worn look is very vintage and will look great in jeans and a tee.

I really like these cool sneakers by Element Strack! I ordered them with my son in mind. He likes them. He says they are very fashionable and modern. They are reminiscent of skateboarding shoes, thick flat soles with rubber heels. They are a pretty brown with orange accents and include optional laces (orange and brown). They have some other nice design elements (cool treads) that will appeal to men of all ages. They fit a little small, so you might want to order up a half size. And finally, these shoes are reasonably priced (about $56 on Amazon).

Reviewer Janet M Bennett

Very comfortable sneakers that are fantastic to wear in the fall (and early spring). I commute to work in the city and prefer shoes that are comfortable to walk in, but that also don't look like stereotypical hiking boots. These fit my bill.
I can wear these with nearly any type of pants thanks to the color combination. Because they're not too dark, I can wear them with lighter tones, and they go well with darker tones too. I wear between 9.5-10 D US; these fit me perfectly with any single pair of socks. There are also red-and-white laces that come with these; the laces and shoes are beautifully matched.
