When I was 16 I got a pair of simple slip-on shoes, and they lasted me 11 years now. I figured it was time to get another cleaner pair for work, and I can't say enough good about these. I walk a lot, upwards of 15,000 steps a day, and these shoes are always down for the work. They are extremely comfortable, breathable, and long-lasting. Simple is an amazing brand when it comes to making long lasting products.
