For walking on all terrains, including rocky ones, this casual sneaker serves well. The shoe is also well-priced. Just be sure to buy a slightly longer size for best fit and comfort; NB is a tight, round toe.

No break in time needed. Good support, great cushion, solid soul.
Reviewer vkm
Perfect fit for size and comfort. Good support and cushioned footbed.
Lashes just right length--some other brands (New Balance) are way too long.
And---good looking.

Fits nice, looks good.

I have 10+ pairs of Cole Haan shoes and they're all great, but these are the most comfortable out of all of them.
Reviewer Christopher Susalis
I got these for my brother who wears AFOs but they’re too tight in the toe. I’m not sure if going up a side will help. He probably just needs a wider fit.

The shoes are really nice, the only bad thing (that’s why just 4 stars) is that it said “leather” and that’s why I bought them but are fabric. They are nice but will get dirty quickly, I was looking for leather shoes and not just leather shoelaces

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.

Was hard to wear due to my toes crunching up at the end of the shoe.
I wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8, had to return them and get another size.
