I ordered another pair and there doesn't seem to be any improvement with the tag. They came with 2 pairs of laces, in different colors, but one pair is very wide, unfortunately. I'm not a fan of super-wide laces, but they at least had the good sense to make the more narrow pair, the more difficult color to obtain. The super-wide pair is white, which can easily be replaced anywhere you can find laces.
I see many comments on the sizing being small, but I don't know that I agree. They may be just slightly narrow, but I wear the same size as I do with Nike athletic shoes. In contrast, I have to size up with New Balance shoes. Since dress shoes run larger then athletic shoes, they're obviously smaller then most dress 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.

I highly recommend these, super comfortable, only thing that would make them better would be the ability to to make my feet NOT smell like run a marathon in dog sh%t all day, but im sure my 10 hour day, and genetics are more to blame,lol

Got a good 8 moths out of the first pair, thats 8 months of 10 hour days, a Michigan winter, and over 10000 steps of walking within the facility per day, so of course purchased another pair and cheaper this time to boot!
