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 husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.

Just what I wanted but couldn't find in the stores

Wasn’t sure about this brand of shoe. I ordered it for my daughter as she started her own business painting designs on shoes. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be comfortable but was wrong. It served its purpose and actually worked better than expected.

I bought these for my husband as he has problems with his feet standing on cement all day . He is quite happy with them and recommends them for everyone..
Reviewer Quentin Kramer
These are styled like oxfords but more casual cool. Great soles are comfortable and not bulkily heavy. You can brush off the suede with damp cloth. Perfect spring/summer shoe..good look w/jeans or shorts
Reviewer FANINA SCIBERRAS
With memory foam, clean design, and air-cooled feature, this is a great choice for casual wear or as a walking shoe. If this is the first laceless shoe, the snuggy feeling will seem a bit different initially, almost as if they got bunched up; but over time that has relaxed and the fit is OK. The shoe is on the narrower side and you may want to try at least .5 size up to make sure.

I like the look and feel of these shoes. Very simple and low, comfortable basic sneakers. They look good, even though there is so much rubber on the sides. The fit is perfect in my experience. I usually take a 13 in sneakers and often a 12 in boots, but with some sneakers I have to worry about the width - not a problem here. These fit right, don't cramp, but also don't leave my heel lifting in the back.
The prices are all over the place depending on the size you get, but these seem like a steal when your size happens to be on the inexpensive end of that scale.

not as good as they used to be I have bought 1 -2 new pair every year
its changed this year and not for the better

Bought it for a member of my tribe, who lives and swears by this particular brand. Over the years Ecco has delivered, and made a very happy customer even happier. Besides the fact that they are made with very nice leather, they look sophisticated enough to take them anywhere in most cases. The color on this pair is very pleasing to the eye, and the deal for this ECCO Men's Bradley Fashion Sneaker,Coffee/Cocoa Brown,45 EU/11-11.5 M US, made the purchase a no brainer, for they are generally a lot more expensive, and is always a good thing to take advantage of an enticing sale, which in this case was almost 50% off. Good deal for a very good shoe. 4.5 Stars.
