Wearing these to ymca. Fit is perfect. I bought 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and that worked out well with very roomy toe box that I wanted due to aging toenails.
Reviewer Diogo Silva
No laces of course, so these are not suitable for a trail hike, but they are light and comfortable and great for walking around town. This is my third pair.

I LOVE THESE! I was looking for something I could wear for workouts at home that weren’t heavy or bulky like my sneakers, but that had some support and traction. These were PERFECT! The men’s were the only ones I could find solid black in, so that’s why I got those over women’s. I guessed at the size, I’m normally an 11 or 11 1/2 in women’s and got a large, and they fit but still have a little bit of extra room, but it hasn’t bothered me. I’ve also used them at work a couple times when my work shoes were bothering my feet but I needed something, and these totally worked! Great product!

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.

Great buy for a quality brand.

My husband loves these shoes and has been wearing a pair for about 2 years. He pronates pretty badly and the old shoes needed replacing because they were losing stability. We ordered this pair knowing he wanted the exact same shoes. They are perfect, with "new shoe" support for his ankles. He loves this shoe because due to Parkinson's he has difficulty tying shoes and wants to be able to step into his shoes. These look and feel like lace-up shoes. He wears them to walk for exercise, but he also wears them to go out running errands etc.

These are my favorite, wish they were still available.

Comfortable, extremely light and steel toe. Can't beat these shoes.
Reviewer Deborah I Olin
These sneakers are super fun!!!
Very bright colors, very unique.
They fit true to size.
They are a little, but little, heavy. But because they are sturdy and well made. They don’t look chunky, but they have more “body”.
They are not super padded, they are comfortables, but definitely not Disney walking shoes. They are pretty similar to my Metcons.
But, for casual wear, these are VERY nice and fun!!!!
Recommended.

I have the size 8. They weigh 1#, so not that lightweight, but they have a rubber sole, instead of plastic, which you find in so many of the super lightweight shoes.
Nice non-skid tread on the bottom. Canvas upper. The footbed offers very firm padding. Nice arch support. Some padding around the ankle.
I have the olive green color. Really great color indeed. They look just like the listing pictures.
Though Chrome is a U.S. brand . . . These shoes are Made in China. At the current price of over 100 bucks. . . they are quite pricey. . .But. . . The look to be quite well made, and I really like them.
