likes the shoes good quality! Not the prize! Could be less expensive!
Reviewer Christine Winters
More comfortable than I thought and the leather has lasted longer than expected. The color is great.

As a longtime customer who has owned Emerica shoes and watched the quality go down throughout the years. These shoes are a great pair to own. The quality is good and as expected for an $80 pair of shoes. Very happy with my purchase.

My husband loves the style and fit of these shoes, He says they fit just as expected. Will order these shoes again.
Reviewer B D Hellmann
Fits as expected. Look great. Feel great in them. I swear them with low cut no see socks. Got many compliments on them. Will use again next spring & summer.

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.

New Balance makes such nice and affordable shoes. The material does get dirty easily and is hard to clean unless you have the "show cleaners." Pretty sure people can find a crafty way to DIY clean these without having to buy a shoe cleaner, I just have not taken the time to see for myself.
Reviewer John Leo Mencias
Love these shoes! I bought them for my husband, they look so sharp. Would love to get another pair in grey.
Reviewer John M Thorpe
I had to get a size smaller. I am usually in a womens 10 but got these in a 9 and they fit perfect.
