Great color, a little darker and more royal than the pic, not as electric. Still very nice though. Super comfy, especially with some spongey blue Dr Scholl's thrown in. I ordered a size up so I could do this. Can walk around for hours in total comfort, and there are relatively few shoes I can say that for. Not bad for hard surface indoor ping pong either, the soles have a respectable amount of grip.

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.

Well, I’m glad they still sell these. This is all my husband wears. The price can’t be beat! All of the footwear stores want $75.00 or more. This is probably his 100th pair so I guess he loves them! Looks great and lasts long time too. Very comfortable. He wears them to work and hasn’t complained at all.

I need a large toe box and friends suggested Altra brand. I'm not a runner nor a hiker, but I do go to the gym and do some walking, thus I want a good shoe. I usually wear 9-5 to 10 and I have narrow feet. I tried the Olympic style in 9.5 but toe touched the end and they didn't have any in size 10. Thank goodness for Free Returns!! I found this style and bought it in size 10, and it was a bit cheaper than the Olympics style. The day I got it I wore it to the gym then wore around the house the remainder of the day. The shoe is light and comfortable! I forgot I had it on except when walking on the laminate floor it kinda sounds like cleats. The description doesn't say it's a trail shoe but still has the grippy type things around the outer edge of the bottom of the shoe -- not a big deal to me. I've only wore the shoes twice but so far I'm very pleased!

I find the Fitsmart Low comfortable and easy to wear around town. Support is not great, especially in the area around the ball of the foot; it almost feels more like a slipper than a shoe & you wouldn't want to go hiking or standing all day in these. They do run a bit long and narrow - I dropped 1/2 a size and added a width to get it to be perfect, which it now is. It's a very nice looking shoe and fits perfectly into the "dress sneaker" category. I'd buy them again, which I can't say for all of my shoes, but again I want to caution that they are not designed for all-day standing or extensive walking; they are casual, light-duty shoes.

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 sister absolutely loved these. They are well made and the size was absolutely correct.
Reviewer Suzanne Kincaid
great fit, comfortable, great for walking.
Reviewer Jim Van Wicklin
Overall have bought this shoe both online and in store and the shoe is good. It's great for water activities especially if you prefer the feel and support of a sneaker rather than a water slipper/sock style shoe.
One thing to keep in mind is that it runs a bit big, and there are no half sizes. I would recommend sizing down. For example if you are usually a 10.5/11 then consider getting a 10.
