Nike Cortez Forrest Gump 2024 ECF0707

Reviewer A Creed

Great fit for my wide feet. Comfortable for walking.

Reviewer I Douglas Estella

Great shoe and wears well

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.

My 13yr-old son purchased these with his birthday money. We looked at the "known" brand, and these were about half the price, and with better reviews! He has not been disappointed at all. We did order a half size larger, based on the comments/feedback, and they fit great.

Reviewer Rhonda Eubanks

Tried these New Balance shoes for an extended travel overseas and they were just perfect. They were lightweight for all day wear and very comfortable. Mine was half a size larger than what I would normally wear. The only issue was that the laces were very long (probably would have better if I had laced it through the last two holes) and would sometimes come loose.

Reviewer Wonder Child

this is the second pair I buy and my husband loves them. I will buy a third, a forth, etc as long as they are available. He is on his feet all day and really support and comfort his feet. great cushioning.

Reviewer Lisa A Gutch

Perfect shoe for style and comfort.

Reviewer A Boston

Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!

Reviewer grammyn

Very nice shoe. I like the design and the sturdiness. It's a bit large, but I can adjust. One thing I've come to expect from Rockport is that their shoes do not have enough arch support for my feet. So the extra room will accommodate an insert. I do wish it were available in wide widths.

Reviewer Sarasvati Panciera

I've been wearing New Balance cross-trainers for years. They've always been great. These hiking shoes continue that experience.

I bought these hoping for some additional ankle support. Though concerned about the fit and not trying them on, I matched the size of my NB cross-trainers, and hoped for the best. No surprise, they fit just fine.

Looking at them you can tell these are not the typical/traditional heavy hiking boots. They're more of a slightly stiffer high-top sport shoe. Like a sport shoe, they are much lighter than a more traditional boot. They do provide good ankle support, and have a little bit more cushioning than a sport shoe in the sole and ankles. The soles, though Vibram, are also more like a sneaker sole, but seem to provide a very good grip.

All in all, I like 'em.
