New Balance 530 Turtledove Mushroom

Reviewer George F Simons

I am glad I took a chance in these shoes, it’s worth the money!

Reviewer Ally Acker

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.

Reviewer A Boston

Most comfortable casual shoes I have every worn!

Reviewer G L Knight

Fine shoes, after wearing for a few days (will update later if problems arise). I wear orthotic insoles and the insoles that come with these sneakers are easy to remove and replace.

I live in boat shoes, both ashore (mostly) an on my boat. This is my second pair of Sea Kites. I also have a pair in another color. The Sea Kites hold up well with my day to day use and a bit of abuse. I've been through Timberland, Bass, and Clarks over the years. They have gone through up and down cycles of quality. Right now Sperry is on top and I find the others disappointing in terms of fit and quality.

Reviewer Steve McKee

this was a great pair of fun sneakers but the left side light was on for one day, second full wear no lights - disappointed

Reviewer Puddintane

These are my first Pumas and I must say... I love them. Great neutral gray color, super comfortable, great quality, incredible price. I normally wear a women's size 8.5 so I ordered a size 7 in these. They fit perfectly.

Bought for a relative with major foot issues. He loves them - comfortable and flexible. Sturdy without feeling heavy.

Reviewer Valerie Kelley

I ordered these shoes but i've already had experience with skechers and they do run a little big so i ordered a size smaller. It's a comfortable shoe.
