For the cost/drip ratio, you cannot beat these kicks.
Surprisingly comfortable for an inexpensive shoe that some may consider only for aesthetics.
If you are concerned about creasing the toe, buy toe cap protectors at the same time as it (crease) will show after very little use.
I bought toe caps and it's kept it straight with no loss in comfort.
I always get tons of compliments on these shoes, and they feel great.
There are some minor craftsmanship details that look rough on close inspection but, nothing most people would ever notice and I nothing I would have any issue with for the price.
I have seem similar shoes for 10x the price, and you would not know the difference from 1m away.
I will likely buy another pair to store away, for whenever these end up wearing out.

These are great shoes. My wife gets the ghost series, but using the Brooks website, I was able to determine that this is the best series for myself. My wife and I like to walk, after my knee replacement surgery, I need a good shoe to avoid ever having to go through that again. These are great.

I bought them for my father for Father's Day he said it's the best pair of shoes he's ever owned. He loves them

I have lyme disease which results in my feet often being painful, so finding a pair of shoes that is comfortable is essential to me....and rarely found. These shoes definitely meet the requirements!!! They're lightweight and comfy, easily worn all day. I normally wear an 11, but sometimes a 10 1/2. I ordered a 10 1/2 and they fit perfect.
Maybe I'm slow or missing something, but these shoes are slipons. I view the laces as decorative.

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.

Cute. I wear 8.5, bought an 8.5, and it fits perfectly
Reviewer H Campbell
The sizes seem to run 1/2 a size small. Very nice sneakers.
Reviewer Kirsten Pomerantz
I like how it looks and it is comfortable as well.
Reviewer Tara Luke
The soles are great for all terrains. The memory foam helps to keep my feet from hurting after a long walk. I'm very pleased!
Reviewer Rathskeller
Item looked great upon receipt, however, as my son wore them for about 3 weeks they are wearing out quickly. It may be my son or the shoes. Item arrived on time and exactly as pictured.
