I ordered another pair and there doesn't seem to be any improvement with the tag. They came with 2 pairs of laces, in different colors, but one pair is very wide, unfortunately. I'm not a fan of super-wide laces, but they at least had the good sense to make the more narrow pair, the more difficult color to obtain. The super-wide pair is white, which can easily be replaced anywhere you can find laces.
I see many comments on the sizing being small, but I don't know that I agree. They may be just slightly narrow, but I wear the same size as I do with Nike athletic shoes. In contrast, I have to size up with New Balance shoes. Since dress shoes run larger then athletic shoes, they're obviously smaller then most dress shoes.

These are far more comfortable then typical canvas sneakers, but they offer a similar casual look. The sizing is very accurate, so order your normal size, regardless of whether you plan on wearing them with or without socks.
I've seen some reviews mention that they run narrow, but I don't agree. Compared to your typical canvas sneaker, they actually run wide and probably run wide compared to many other sneakers, as well. They have very ample toe room.

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 husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.
Reviewer A Boston
Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!
Reviewer Jonathan Baron
Just what I wanted but couldn't find in the stores
Reviewer SJT
Wasn’t sure about this brand of shoe. I ordered it for my daughter as she started her own business painting designs on shoes. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be comfortable but was wrong. It served its purpose and actually worked better than expected.

I don't know, as of this review, how much these shoes cost, but they are very nice leather shoes. Hubs and I went shoe shopping yesterday to get him a nice pair of dress shoes and we spent a good amount on them and they were on sale. But every man deserves at least 2 pairs of very nice dress shoes. This pair of ankle boot shoes are very well made, and the leather is gorgeous and deep brown. The soles are should last a long time and look very durable. Hubs thinks there should be one more set of eyelets, but I think the two are very attractive and stylish. I received a size 9M for review and usually he wears 9W but these shoes were a little loose on his feet. They are more like 9.5 but he can still wear them. Since they are new and stiff, he can't say they are particularly comfortable right now as they need to be broken in.

I'm very pleased with these shoes. They fit perfectly -- they are a true size 11 -- which is not a common situation these days. The medium width is also accurate.
The build quality is very good. It feels very well put together, with the edge and sole well attached, and good quality stitching throughout. The end of the tongue and the interior edge is lined with an man-made "leather" that looks and feels high quality. The canvas body is sturdy. Even the shoelaces are of good quality.
The overall look is nice. It's unusual, with a blue leaf-type pattern and a solid gray, but it works in terms of looks. It's not flashy, but it has more visual appeal than the usual monotone color scheme.
There's enough padding in the insole to make these comfortable for walking, but it could do with a bit more for extra comfort.
All in all, a mostly comfortable, nice looking, well-made pair of sneakers.
Reviewer Quentin Kramer
These are styled like oxfords but more casual cool. Great soles are comfortable and not bulkily heavy. You can brush off the suede with damp cloth. Perfect spring/summer shoe..good look w/jeans or shorts
