I must admit that I had never heard of
Propet shoes prior to purchasing my first pair here. They looked good in the picture and that is all that mattered at the time. Therefore, when they arrived, I was satisfied the moment I opened the box. What took me by surprise was how incredibly light they were as I removed each from the box, even with each shoe being stuffed full with wadded paper to help the shoe retain its shape in transit. I removed all the paper and again marveled at the lightness of this shoe, even with my size 11 1/2 gunboats.
The construction was solid they felt great when I put them on for the first time. I am a retired letter carrier and wish I had discovered these shoes when I was still working. They have all the support and comfort you need and all the style you want, all in one shoe.
I have previously purchased
Nike,
Reebok, and
Rockport walking shoes. This pair finishes far ahead of all of those with
Rockport coming in 2nd. If you're a
Rockport person and used to
Rockport comfort, you'll truly love these shoes. If you like the style
Nike and
Reebok offer but desire more in comfort, try these.
I feel as if the sizing is accurate but snug. If you're a "between sizes" person, order a 1/2 size up. I used my shoe stretchers overnight to widen the toe area slightly and "VIOLA", the shoes were now broken in and sheer joy to wear.
Even without my shoe stretchers, I doubt that there would have been any long or uncomfortable break-in time.
