I have a hard time finding shoes to fit . I've got small, wide feet so my shoes are either too short or too long. These fit great, heavy duty but very comfortable!
Reviewer R Forstrom
I got it for my husband who wears size 12 but very picky about getting shoes without trying them on. He worn these already for hiking and gave it 5 stars. He said that they are very comfortable and did not give him any trouble.
Reviewer Arlene P Hubbard
Absolutely gorgeous shoes! The quality is simply unmatched. I mean, really! These are quality shoes with style! Every pair I buy - FRYE.
Reviewer Tim Brandt
Like these shoes alot....stylish and extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 10 1/2 in a regular shoe. Some skechers have been a tad tight so now normally order an 11. I ordered an 11 in these and they fit perfect but with no extra room.
Reviewer elzpb
Fit as expected. Very light and comfortable

These shoes have always been so flat footed. I put Dr Scholls gel inserts with a little extra arch in them. Works great! Makes them a perfect little summer shoe to run around in.
Reviewer L R Jones
The sneaker not only is well crafted, but looks great to the wearer. The style is timeless.

This is the first pair of Saucony shoes I've ever owned and I'm very pleased. I've typically worn the heavy, suede, New Balance 564 fora retro running shoe, but wanted something lighter. The low profile sole is more reminiscent of Onitsuka Tiger shoes, which are also a favorite of mine.
Unlike the Asics shoes, these have a more traditional running shoe style. As vegan shoes, I don't expect them to last long and I'm not expecting a great athletic shoe, because vegan shoes never are, imo. They're very comfortable shoes, although I'd still give the edge to Onitsuka Tigers in that regard. I am slightly worried that they don't breathe well, due to an inner sock lining that covers the entire inside, but that's not a huge factor for me.
The fit is just great for me, but I have somewhat narrow feet. These do run narrow, especially in comparison to the 564, which is wide even in standard widths. My most common athletic shoe sizes are 10.5-11 and I purchased these in a perfect 10.5. For the sake of comparison, I typically wear an 11 in Nike, 10.5 in Onitsuka Tiger and have recently had to size up to an 11.5 in New Balance.
In closing, I'll note that they come with 2 sets of laces in different colors, even though I saw no mention of this anywhere. I ordered them in Navy, and in addition to the Navy laces shown, they also included some in cream that match the stripe. I was actually hoping they would do that and will probably use the cream colored laces.

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.
