Before purchasing these, I was already a satisfied customer of Simple Shoes, but these are on a different level from my other pairs. These are truly the most comfortable shoes that I've ever owned. I read many reviews saying the same thing before purchasing them, and so I expected them to be comfortable, but experience has taught me that people usually exaggerate, somewhat, with shoe reviews. This shoe lives up to it's reputation. I've only owned them for a few hours, so my opinion may change, but I truly can't imagine them being anymore comfortable then they are right now.

The uppers are roomy and so soft that you can't even feel them on your feet. The cork mid-soles are supposed to make the sole comfortable, but they're even softer than expected. Honestly, these feel like you're walking barefoot over a thick foam flooring.

As for sizing, these may run a tad small, but not by much. I can often wear a half size smaller, but this probably wouldn't have worked with these shoes. I really wouldn't bother moving up any, though, unless your regular size is already snug.

I should also mention that the brown suede is actually darker than pictured, but I believe that I like them better this way.

Update: I've had these for nearly a year now and they're one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I may have exaggerated a bit about the comfort, but after a year's worth of wear, they're still an extremely comfortable shoe.
