This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

I only ordered these because I found a great deal on them. Normally I would have passed, but I love Simple brand shoes and figured it was worth the risk. I'm really glad that I did, because I like them much better then I expected. They look better in person then in the pictures and they're very comfortable.
I'd say that they fit true-to-size, although if you're in between sizes, I'd suggest that you go with the larger one. The width is pretty average too. I do wish these had more arch support, but they're not bad as is.
Overall, I'm as pleased as I always have been in the past with this brand.

I wear them all day at work. They work pretty good for me.
Reviewer J Kersting
Only drawback was its mesh. Mesh material is not strong and tears from the middle where the feet folds while moving. Otherwise a great comfortable shoe.
Reviewer Michigan Mommy
Love these sturdy, wonderful shoes! Will keep buying these.

Lots of GI Joes for the price. Bought as a gift. Have not given it yet, but sure he will love it.
Reviewer Las Gayle
These are my third straight pair. Seems like they aren't as comfortable as the former two, but still good overall. Maybe just my own getting older makes them not seem as comfortable. We'll see if they are constructed as well as the former pairs which lasted me many years each.

My daughter loves them. Vans are her favorite school shoes. I love that they last all year long.

I've made many reviews on New balance shoes The cruze fresh foam are the best from New balance. They're always true to fit they're always comfortable they're lightweight. I would have to say that they're incredibly well worth the money. I have basically buy two brands of shoes Solomon or New balance. Solomon for hiking and trail running. New balance for everything else. I have a large collection shoes which is probably weird for a guy but I believe there's a shoe for everything. This is a really good quality shoe.
