Very comfortable shoe - Bought the Drew and Rockport walker. Drew was more comfortable and cushioned. Rockport is a much lighter shoe. Both shoes accommodate orthotics and are easy on the heel (especially if you have feet problems). I think Drew is too heavy for a summer shoe, but will be great in fall winter, since it is weather proof. Using the Rockport this summer as they are really much lighter!

Great shoe! I'm on concrete for 12 hours a day and these shoes work for me. Great support feet, legs, and back.

Drew Traveler - I've had the Travelers for 3 weeks now. To be honest I was a little disappointed in the Drew Traveler. I am 49 and until last year never had any foot problems. Now I have tendonitis in my left ankle, caused I'm told, by over-supination of my foot, and plantar fasciitis in the right foot. I have one pair of cheap shoes from a giant box-store retailer that do not aggravate the tendonitis but do aggravate the plantar fasciitis. All my other shoes don't hurt the PF in my right foot, but do aggravate the left. I was really hoping the Travelers would solve both problems, but they don't. I still have to use a prescription orthotic in the left and an OTC insert on the right and then the shoes are fairly comfortable. Also the soles are extremely slippery on carpet. So much so that they are a hazard going down carpeted stairs and they squeak like crazy on tile. For this price I shouldn't need an orthotic to be able to wear them. Probably would be quite comfy if I didn't have these problems, but that's why I'm buying shoes advertised to orthopedic. Zappos was a pleasure to do business with. The customer service rep spoke English, was friendly, professional and personable. Shipping was overnight. I would definitely recommend Zappos.

The Fantastic Traveler - First impressions of the Drew Traveler. I purchased the black leather Traveler. The look and feel of the leather is soft and supple. This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! The entire inside of the shoe is exquisitely cushioned. The cushiony insole is somewhat firm yet soft and yielding, but not in a squishy fashion. The shoe fit is 100% accurate, with plenty of room in the toe box. Initially I got the Traveler for work but due to its extreme comfort I wear them for all occasions. I plan to purchase another pair of Drew shoes. I highly recommend the Traveler. Zappos.com is second to none, with hassle free service and free overnight shipping. Zappos.com gets my highest recommendation as well.

Rather bulky, too much shoe, stiff, not enough comfort - Top end of extended padded tongue digs into your leg and is annoying. Will be returned. Low end materials.

Here's my story and why I love these Drews. I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit. I have wide feet (at least 6E), a high instep, and custom orthotics. Until the Drews came along, I was suffering with New Balance sneakers that come in 6E and with SAS "double wides", what my wife called The Frankenstein Shoes. In order to do that I had to remove their cushion insoles, so it was like walking on cement all the time, but it was better than going barefoot, especially to business meetings in my suit. So to recap, up until recently The Human Race only made two shoes that would fit me off the shelf. The arrival of the Drew Travelers changed how I walk. I can put my custom orthotics in without talking out either of their two cushion insoles. So they are very deep. Even with 3 levels of insoles (custom orthotics and 2 cushions) my heels don't slip out the back and I can wiggle my toes. The extra depth means that the width is not "used up" accommodating my high instep. They have a straight, flat last which means that the orthotics sit flat in the shoe. The sole is one huge shock absorber and the shoe is lightweight. If you are attracted to this shoe and can afford two pairs at once, you must also get the Drew Surge, which is their sneaker, and what I'm wearing right now. One more point. For the first time in years, I'm not wearing very ugly shoes. The black leather version of the Traveler looks dressy enough for me, and the brown nubuck looks great with jeans. Even my kids commented that the Surge sneakers looked good. Also: Get this. In the Surge sneakers, I can jog for the first time in 10 years. By the way: If width or depth is an issue for you, I also tried out the Drew Force and the Drew Arlington, but returned them as they aren't as deep through the instep. Stick with the Traveler and Surge.

I was very happy with the shoes that I purchased on Zappos. The last pair that I purchased from a retail store cost $70 more!

Definitely a well made shoe. Just be aware that the heals run a little big so if you have a narrow heal like I do you it might be of concern.

Finally, a pair of shoes that fit. Ever try to find a pair of 10 1/2 6E shoes?... Not easy. It took three tries to get a pair that fit well, but Zappos covered shipping both ways with no extra charge. Besides that, I got my deliveries in about two days after ordering. There were no questions or hassles with the returns either. I'm very happy with my new shoes and the great service from Zappos. I know where I'll be getting all my shoes from now on.

My husband was so impressed with the Drew Traveler. The toe box was generous and deep and the width, 6E, is perfect for him. He had no trouble fitting his orthotic into the shoe and even so, the toe box wasn't limiting. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone who needs a wide shoe and a forgiving toe box. The nubuck is sueded just enough to give the shoe a casual look. If I could rate the shoe more than 5's, I would!

I have wide feet with bunions and have had pain with most of the shoes that previously fit me. I tried this shoe out of desperation as I was heading to Europe for two weeks of touring with a lot of walking planned.They were great out of the box and the two removable insoles gave me the extra room for my orthotics without taking up the width I needed. No pain at all. Great support. They are a little heavier and warmer than I would have liked but I was happy to put up with that for the comfort. I will order a pair in black.

Finding a shoe that will fit Superfeet green insoles comfortably has been almost impossible for me until now. My search is over. How can anyone wear these incredible insoles without having the shoes fit too tight and/or feet overheating from lack of airflow? The Drew Traveler and Drew Surge are the only shoes I have found thus far that have enough depth, especially in the heel to accommodate the increased height of this insole by design. I only needed to remove the top footbed (1 of 2) to get a good fit. Finally I don't have to sacrifice tight fitting shoes or make a compromise with a thinner and less supportive insole to get comfort. More styles needed please! Only negatives, the laces way too long (make/ buy shorter ones and easy fix), tongue too short and especially in the Surge (minor problem, but what were they thinking)?
