I have been wearing these shoes to work in for years because of their comfort. The same size & width. I don't what has changed in the workmanship since last year but theses shoes are so tight I can hardly stand to wear them. Everything on these shoes & my old pair match up but this pair is just very uncomfortable.

Loved these shoes, wore them w/o socks all the time, even winter...problem is, from the first pair 7-8 years ago, they are now built considerably cheaper.  My first pair was well built, good support...my third pair is a much lighter, cheaper, less support version.  Who would take the good 'Sperry' name and ruin it?  Dumb.

I am so sad that Simple is no more ... I love their shoes and bought a couple pair of the remaining stock to keep in my closet. I'm on the last pair now and it bums me out. I've loved these for years ...

I have worn and loved these shoes for 7-8 years.  Sadly, the design was changed with this year's model (GTS 14), and it is no longer comfortable for me.

Shoe fit wonderful for about a month, then start loosing their shape and got very loose. Is there a way to tighten them back up?

I had a pair of these a few years back. LOVED them! So comfortable and wore them everyday for all activities. BUT this time around the shoe is rubbing the back of my ankle. Something doesn't seem right and I think they have altered the shoe in some way as far as design. Bummer because I really liked these. I do recommend the shoe but if you are expecting the same shoe you had a few years ago... they are not the same.

they use to make this shoe very comfortable. But lately it became very tight top to bottom,maybe they changed manufacturing.

Nice shoe. A go to for me as a guy with an extra wide foot. This is about my 10th pair. I burn through them b/c I am a big guy and walk a lot.

Will keep buying them, but this last pair sucks. Bought a pair before going to Italy for a month. Walked 5-10 miles a day. These started squeeking in the heal of one. Tried to give the seller a chance to respond before I posted this, since I love Merrels shoes, but they did not respond.

Bummer.

I've bought these in the past and loved them. This time however one shoe feels a litttle smaller than the other. Makes them hard to wear for long periods of time. I think it was just a fluke with this pair as the ones in the past have been perfect. Decided to just live with it rather than return.

They have changed the cut of FitFlop it is now a bit wider.  I have a narrow foot (but not super narrow) and a 5 Medium use to fit me perfect, now it is almost to large, not a snug, secure fit like they were for years.  I have been a avid fan of Fit Flops for over six years and the last pair I purchased were the same wayjust wanted to try again.  I will not be purchasing anymore.

I am a long time Merrell customer.  I have had 4 pairs in different colors over the last 10 or so years. These are the best ever shoes for my wide foot with a high arch.  I can wear them all day with no complaints.  However, this year when I ordered my usual size... they are way too small!  Like "I can not even stick my foot into it" kind of small!  What happened?  I tried a half size bigger and yes, it fits but i trip over the toes once in awhile because they are a tad too long for me.  It seems to me that the "pattern" for the shoe has changed... it is now longer and narrower than a few years ago.  Why?

I love Mizuno and only wear Mizuno but over times I feel like they have changed the design of the shoes too much. For example the shoelaces move and subsequently feels like I don't tied it tight enough. I think due to the materials used. Mizuno please do something about it.

Disapointed & confused!!! I'd been wearing for past few years about 4 boxes of this shoe as they wore out from "normal use". They only wore out normally.
I bought 4 pair. So I'd have a comfortable shoe in future when style was deleted.
My foot has increased "I assume" or the last pair in my 4 was smaller? I only wore that pair a month in a 9W. The other 9Ws in same style were fine & comfortable as I walked. & lasted.
So I bought a 9.5 W. I wear an 8.5W in a normal flat of heel.
I bought 4 boxes again assuming my feet were just getting bigger? Shoes are worn in my work.  I noticed the new 9.5W were tight but thought, oh only because new. They fit like a 8.5W or even a 8.5M or 9M?
After a month. Not sure it was even that long, my feet hurt so bad on ball of foot I was miserable. The inside shoe was so lumpy & hard I had no choice but to throw them out. Looked perfectly fine on outside. $$$down the drain. Too long to return. So I'm wearing second pair this week. So far tight again but it's ok.
I think they are now making them very cheaply & like clothes these days too small for the size. I'm now going to have to give these not inexpensive other 2 boxes of shoes away & search for a shoe that will not give way on inside sole cushion  after 2 weeks. I can tell these will do the same as ones I had to toss. I could barely walk they had hurt ball of foot so much. I can get this pain at the famous discount store ya know. I don't know were to go for quality Walking tennis shoes now???

Very disappointed. Used to be amazing and now way too narrow.

This is my third pair of the same shoe and this shoe is different.  The toe box does not give as much room as the previous pairs.  I don't know why they have to change.  In the past this was a wonderful shoe--now after wearing it a few hours, it fells tight.  I won't order this shoe any more.

I've been wearing Ryka for 15 or so years. I hike 3 miles each morning up a mountain. I used to be able to put on a pair of Rykas, out of the box, and go. This is the 4th pair of Rykas that I've had to send back recently. I don't know why they would change the way they make their shoes, but they have! Actually, this pair came the closest to fitting like they used to, but it has this funky straight piece on the bottom of the shoe (over the arch) that makes it feel differently when you walk. I found it very annoying, so back they went. After all these years, I'm in search of a new brand of walking shoe, which is very sad. I absolutely LOVED my Rykas before they started messing around with the way they make their sport shoe!

This pair of Privo's was to replace a pair I have owned for many years- its the exact shoe but the footbed design has changed and I am walking right out of it
