Bought these for my auto tech son, his third pair. On his feet up to 12 hours daily and found that these shoes are very comfortable. Work shoe and sneaker combined.

Super comfy. I can wear with anything. I live in Vans so these are just part of my life.
Reviewer Jeanette G Powell
These shoes are very comfortable. They also look very sharp. I wear a size 10.5 and the shoe is true to size.

I have 6 pairs of Dunham shoes; these are my favorite. They are my daily walking shoes, but can easily fill in for going out to dinner or just hanging out. They look good and feel great. I do like the look a lot, with the gray suede and vents; I like this look much better than sneakers with funky neon designs and giant brand logos. These shoes have little arch support, which I prefer with my flat feet, but that might be a negative for some people.
PROs
Attractive and stylish for a sneaker - nice upscale look that can cover a wide range of activities from office casual to exercise.
Very comfortable, I love the fit. They are my best fitting shoes.
Seem to be made of quality materials
Decent amount of sturdiness for usage as a walking shoe or standing for lengths of time.
Sizing is pretty much true-to-size, you can purchase in your size with confidence. Perhaps they are slightly (1/4 size) short in length. Order a 1/2 size larger if you want some extra room or a margin of safety.
CONs
As mentioned, they are pretty flat. If you have a high arch you will probably not like these.
Outer sole is acceptable but a bit on the thin side. They don't feel plush and thick underfoot.
Price is all over the map, you will see them from $52 to $130. You're certainly overpaying if you spend more than $100, they are not really a $100+ shoe, more like a $60-$80 shoe imho

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.

Excellent product. Excellent service.

Bought these because wearing my gym shoes for long days on my feet just was not fashionable. These shoes look great while being very comfortable to wear all day on my feet. They are super lightweight. The nylon is very thin and not very water resistant, but then again what nylon shoe is. For reference my gym shoes are Nike Free 5.0 and Flyknit 4.0. If those shoes are 10 out of 10 for comfort and support, I give these 9 out of 10. I cannot comment on durability, but I am going on vacation soon so we will see how they stand up to probably 100 miles of walking in the next month or so.

It is great that the original Otomix white gym shoe is back, it is the best! A+++
Reviewer Vicki J Shofner
Comfortable but not particularly durable. Bottom tread is awkward.
Reviewer A Boston
Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!
