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 was blessed, I ordered them half size smaller and they fit perfectly. They are so comfortable too. Love them.

Reviewer J Deveau
So far the shoes are very comfortable. I was having foot pain and bought the Pumas after a lot of research.

Reviewer B Roth PhD
Little tight, should have ordered a wide. Over all beautiful light weight comfortable shoe.
Reviewer Brenda B Aschenbach
Yeah, old school sneakers! I read the other reviews and noticed that several mentioned that they ran 1/2 size to small, so I ordered the next size larger and the width is perfect. Thank goodness, I was getting tired of looking for shoes that fit in the shoe stores
Reviewer C S Gonzales
These are fantastic. When I first received these, I hated them to be honest. It wasn't until i went camping with these that I learned the true value of these shoes. hiking through Tahquamenon falls in the upper peninsula in Michigan, I trekked through water, dirt, mud, asphalt, concrete, sand dunes, you name it, and these remained 100% comfortable and reliable the whole time.

one reason was that it was darker than expected (I ordered the natural white), it was closer to a very light tree bark than to the color white (would look great with jeans, though), the other was that there was a $10 price drop ($47 to $37) after I recieved the shoes.
If you like the color and the price is right then I recommend them

Surprisingly well fitting sneakers. I take a womens 10/11 or a mens 9. I always need wide width (genetic bunions, yay), so I wasn't sure how these would fit. When they arrived, I thought no way would they fit. They looked super narrow and small. Optical illusion as they went on no problem, and fit my feet well. Somehow makes my feet look narrow, too.
They have a sock like opening & upper. Stretchy but secure feeling. I wouldn't call it a lace up sneaker as there is no tongue. There is really no need for the laces, but it does provide some ability to adjust how it fits along the top portion. Just know that you can't make it tighter at the top near opening.
They do look exactly like in the pictures.
They feel secure on the feet. The insert is cushiony, almost provides a bit of a bounce. Has a slight arch, so if you have high arches or walk more on your sides, then this may exacerbate that. I have high arches but it doesn't feel too off. I was able to wear them all day around the house doing chores and felt comfortable enough. At some point I thought it could use more cushion.
They are a light weight sneaker, yet the sole is sturdy. I haven't gone on a walk with these yet, so I am not sure how they do in that regard (but will update). They were comfortable and sturdy enough for around the house and basic errands.
A lot better than anticipated.
