Shoe Palace x New Balance 2002R Volcanic Rocks Mens Running Shoes (Brown)

Reviewer Ally Acker

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.

I walk on concrete all day and these have held up well for me. I use lock laces with these and they fit perfect.

I got these light-up shoes for my husband to wear with a loud suit. They look fun!

Reviewer Mary A Bosken

These shoes help my back pain and relieve and relieved the stiffness.

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.

It's funny how things go - these shoes I might have worn two decades ago. They have that slacker feel (in a good way, of course). Very comfortable, very simple. Size is absolutely dead on. I'm a 13 in sneakers, mostly because of width, but I can often take a 12 in boots. These look fairly thin, but not ugly-thin like a lot of sneakers, but the comfort width-wise is there, and my ankles don't come up in the back, so the fit is just right.

Seems like the price swings wildly from one size to the next. These are some shoes I'd snap up if my size happens to be on the cheap end!

This review is for size 12. It is comfortable for walking and working in my yard. Breathable and skin-friendly material keeps foot dry. These shoes are tough that ensure the flexible movement and cushioning effect. I am 190 pounds and it works for me. I used to get shin splints while jogging, but these have been holding in well. They got as expected & were a great price for the value.

Fit me wrong so had to return but would’ve kept them if they fit.

These shoes look like a cross between sneakers and loafers. The entire top is leather. The bottom is rubber for safety. The shoes look great and are still a tie up, but more like the loafer ties. The bottom and the red logo on the side gives them the sneaker look. They fit nicely and they are different. In a world of teens who want to be different but still the same (no wonder they are conflicted), these give them a look that works in either world.
