Great looks, light weight, when I opened the box and held the shoe it felt very light weight. It has a good look to it. The fit being 3E was perfect. The one problem I have is that the foot bed moves around in the shoe. After wearing it a couple days I had to go and purchase a new foot bed as it bent in the shoe. Even when I took it out to straighten it would bend again. Another problem with it is that the back of the shoe also bends down. After I put it on I must lift the back up to fix the back of the shoe.

Disappointing quality - Having bought 2 other Propet shoes in the past, I must say I was disappointed in the quality of these. Poor support, weak sole, not very comfortable.

A dream shoe for feet with diabetic pain - These are perhaps the most comfortable athletic walker I have ever worn. I have a very wide foot and the 5E is perfect. I also have a real problem with meta-tarsal pain with even the best of New Balance. So far I have been able to wear these for hours at a time, over different terrains and not once experienced any meta-tarsal pain. That has amazed me. They are extremely light, perhaps giving the impression of poor construction but I suspect they will outlive my expectations but I don't care because I'll trade a little shoe life for this much comfort. Besides, the price is much less than I've paid for shoes that haven't been half this comfortable. I replaced the laces with locking elastic laces because of being diabetic and they are working great together. I'm on this site to order a 2nd pair in case Propet quits making this model.

Torchlite Walker - After a few weeks with the Torchlite Walkers I have to say they are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have had in a long while. The best part is they keep my feet cool. I have a problem with my feet getting hot with other sneakers I have tried. This doesn't happen with the very well vented Torchlite Walkers.

Very comfy! Very comfy walking shoes. The only complaint is that the insole of one of my shoes was not glued on. It keeps moving inside of the shoe. I think this is a quality control problem as I always buy Propet shoes and they are always the best!

The eyelets for the laces do not appear sturdy to me with the exception of the plastic reinforced lace eyelet at the top. Usage will tell me if my concern is warranted.

Lightweight - Shoe looks good and feels comfortable. Lack of heft seems to come at the cost of support while walking. About a week of wear and the heel cup cracked, so now there is a snap or crack with each step. Also, the inner liner shifts around and into the heel exposing the toes to the inner shoe material. I have contacted Propet regarding a warranty replacement and have not yet completed that process.

Comfortable and lightweight! This is my first pair of sneakers from Propet. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I weigh over 300 pounds and my feet are still OK at the end of the day. I would purchase these again.

Good, affordable walking shoe - Being the new owner of a puppy I found myself walking for 1-2 hours a day. Great for me but my normal Chuck Taylors and Vans were not cutting it. So I decided to get a shoe with, you know, support and stuff. I chose the Torchlite because it specifically said walking and it was relatively inexpensive. Although I originally ordered it in my normal size I found that a half-size up worked better (painless return to Zappos as usual). I am very pleased with them and find myself wearing them more because they are so comfortable even though I don't care for the look of modern sneakers. All in all, I am very pleased.

Very comfortable walking shoe - I bought these shoes for a vacation in Disney World - those parks are walking central. I have bad feet and these shoes actually left me feeling fine after eight solid days of walking in them. Very comfortable, breathe well, and are well made. As far as Zappos.com goes, I think I found a new way to buy shoes. I ordered a little after 9 P.M on a Sunday night, and the shoes were on my door step shortly before noon the next day. Wow!

Great pair of shoes. They run small so always order the next size over. My daughter wears a 11 but I got her a 12 and they fit great. With the inner lining her feet are nice and warm. My daughter is also the type whose shoes get scuffed the very 1st hour of wear, so the toe protector in the front works great.

We love these boots; the zipper makes them easy on/off and my daughter stepped in a deep puddle while hiking and the boot stayed perfectly dry.

I bought a pair of these for my active 3 and 5 year olds, who both love them. They are easy to get on and off, and are cozy and warm. These are good, sturdy, waterproof winter boots that look stylish, and kids can actually walk and run in them! I highly recommend them.
