These are far more comfortable then typical canvas sneakers, but they offer a similar casual look. The sizing is very accurate, so order your normal size, regardless of whether you plan on wearing them with or without socks.
I've seen some reviews mention that they run narrow, but I don't agree. Compared to your typical canvas sneaker, they actually run wide and probably run wide compared to many other sneakers, as well. They have very ample toe room.

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.

My husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.

Over the years I've worn several styles of Sketchers while at work. Mostly the same basic type of shoe with a little different design and change of color/s. Overall these have been good, comfortable, shoes over the years. No complaints or issues.

Wasn’t sure about this brand of shoe. I ordered it for my daughter as she started her own business painting designs on shoes. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be comfortable but was wrong. It served its purpose and actually worked better than expected.
Reviewer Allie Fairaway
I bought these for my husband as he has problems with his feet standing on cement all day . He is quite happy with them and recommends them for everyone..
Reviewer COR
good fit, comfortable enough to wear all day
Reviewer FANINA SCIBERRAS
With memory foam, clean design, and air-cooled feature, this is a great choice for casual wear or as a walking shoe. If this is the first laceless shoe, the snuggy feeling will seem a bit different initially, almost as if they got bunched up; but over time that has relaxed and the fit is OK. The shoe is on the narrower side and you may want to try at least .5 size up to make sure.
Reviewer Carmen J Fernandez
I like the look and feel of these shoes. Very simple and low, comfortable basic sneakers. They look good, even though there is so much rubber on the sides. The fit is perfect in my experience. I usually take a 13 in sneakers and often a 12 in boots, but with some sneakers I have to worry about the width - not a problem here. These fit right, don't cramp, but also don't leave my heel lifting in the back.
The prices are all over the place depending on the size you get, but these seem like a steal when your size happens to be on the inexpensive end of that scale.
Reviewer Tiffany Mcgaughey
These remind me a lot of sneakers I had been wearing most of my life, except they have the added wall of rubber around the bottom. In this case, the tan goes very well with the green, so I don't mind it at all.
I usually wear a 13 in sneakers or sometimes a 12 in work or hiking boots, and the 13 fits me perfectly. I mean, these shoes feel just a little loose in general, but that's just how you wear them. And they're not a stiff sole, so they're comfortable, but definitely a far cry from some of the hiking shoe crossovers I sometimes wear. Also, the reason I wear a 13 is more because of foot width than anything, and although these look fairly thin, they are not nearly as thin as some sneakers AND the lack of rigidity really makes them comfortably conform to my foot from a width standpoint.
They're definitely more attractive if your size and color choice happens to be the low priced model they keep around for advertising reasons. They look nice, but they're not going to last (looking new) for too many months.
