Review of the Beckett Simonon Morgen Trainer
Let’s get to the review!
Quality and Comfort
The quality of these shoes is fantastic. They’re made from full-grain Italian leather, and they feel very durable.
You’ll find a pair of additional laces, an insertable insole, and black dust covers for each shoe in the box.
The dust covers are great if you’re traveling and need to pack the Morgen Trainers in your suitcase or duffel bag.
The Morgen Trainers are very comfortable. Even after wearing them all day, my feet aren’t sore. They offer good support without feeling overly cushiony.
While the inside has just enough cushioning, the outside feels smooth and strong.
Style
The Morgen Trainers really capture the classic 70s German Army Trainer look. GAT’s are minimal but have a unique design that makes them stand out a little more than standard minimal
Because they’re a minimal sneaker, you can wear them with pretty much anything. Jeans, chinos, and khakis all look great with these shoes.
They are casual shoes so I wouldn’t recommend wearing them with a suit, but they look perfect with most casual outfits.
If you’re wearing them with shorts, it’s a good idea to wear no-show socks for a clean look.

Overall, Beckett Simonon’s Morgen Trainers definitely have The Modest Man seal of approval.
