These are comfortable and they look great. I believe they have a stitched rubber cup sole, which are common on fashion sneakers and I love them for their comfort. The leather isn't anything to write home about, but it's comfortable and finished well.
I purchased these with a deep discount, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of them. At full price, however, there are better quality fashion sneakers, but finding them in all these colors may prove difficult.
I put down that they run a little large, because they do for athletic shoes, although they run as expected for dress shoe brands, like Cole Haan. So I ordered a half size down from my usual athletic shoe size (nike, et al) and they fit perfect. So choose your size based off your dress shoes, rather than your athletic sneakers, as you should always do when you're not ordering from an athletic shoe brand, unless you've been instructed otherwise.
Overall, I'm very pleased with these shoes and will consider paying more for another pair in the future, but only if they're on sale.

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.

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.

real and soft.

Not the most stylish of shoes, but they worked great for what we needed them for the Rose Bowl Parade and everything else they did out there, he didn't have them broke in either, because there was no time, we got them 2 days before he left for his trip and he didn't have any issues at all with his feet hurting them and he actually stated he likes them and would buy another pair. He is hard on shoes and they've held up for a few months now so yes these are good walking shoes.
Reviewer A Boston
Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!
Reviewer R Pettijohn
My husband has to stand on his feet for twelve hours a work day and says they fit perfect and do not bother his feet at all.
Reviewer A Heinze
Great fit. Great shoe. Wear it every day in my mostly standing job.
Reviewer S Stritof
Very clean and stylish shoe! Comfortable and light. I did think it ran a bit large (long) for what I typically order. It is quite low cut around the ankles... keep that in mind when buying socks.
Reviewer J Eagleton
Lots of GI Joes for the price. Bought as a gift. Have not given it yet, but sure he will love it.
