Kenneth Cole REACTION Men's Sim-Plicity Oxford,Brown,8.5 M

Customer Reviews

Disappointing

The quality of these shoes is very disappointing. I have had a few pairs of different Kenneth Cole REACTION's over the years and they just don't hold up well -- and I work in an office all day. And when I contacted customer service they were very unsympathetic. For the price I expected much better quality. Don't waste your money on any Kenneth Cole shoes.

Very tatestul

You know you can't go wrong with a Kenneth Cole product. I purchased these for my husband and I feel that they are a great asset to his wardrobe. These shoes are classy and they will make a great accessory to any outfit he chooses. As usual, Kenneth Cole delivers with class and great style.

dig in back of your ankles

the design is alright. you can get better pricing if you spend time shopping at the department stores. however, i agree with a previous reviewer that these shoes dig into the back of my ankles when I tried to walk in them and actually cause abrasion at the lateral malleolus (that bony protrusion on the side of the ankle). as a frequent traveler, if/when i wear these shoes, i have to wear double socks.

Awesome styling; comfortable; longevity quesionable

The pictures on the product page can't quite capture then depth of color of these shoes. Lots of shades of browns, and the color really comes out outdoors in natural lighting. In terms of comfort, these are among the best of my dress shoes with the "fashion comfort technology" insoles. Provides arch and heel support right where you need it most. As for durability/longevity, we'll have to see. I've only had the shoes a few weeks now, probably only worn them less than 10 days, and already they're pretty badly "creased" in the flex points and have lost that new-shoe look. Maybe it's just the initial break-in and they won't get much worse from here out? Time will tell I guess. But overall very pleased with them.

Uncomfortable and fake plastic looking

I got lucky with a pair of clearance Kenneth Cole New York shoes from another online store a few weeks ago, and these shoes looked really nice, too, so I thought I'd take advantage of the markdown ($35.99). I needed another pair of dress oxfords for work.

Unfortunately they have that cheap, fake plastic look to them. Maybe these are OK for a high schooler dressing up for prom, but not for a business environment. Even worse, they dug into the tops of my ankles when I tried to walk in them.

Maybe I am one of the few nay-sayers, because people really seem to love these on zappos, but I would recommend something else.
