Propet

Stability Walker Medicare/HCPCS Code = A5500 Diabetic Shoe

Men's

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.

I'm 82. I have wide and thick feet. Until I found Zappos, I could never get a shoe to fit; always had to get a standard width at local shoe stores, so I would have to buy 2 sizes too long. For the first time in my life, I now have shoes that fit. Previous, as well as this one, have caused me to throw out about 15 pair of non fitting shoes I purchased before I found Zappos.

Not up to standards for support - I bought a pair of these for motion control and to accommodate orthotics I wear inside my shoes. Wanted something other than the running shoes I have worn in the past. I was impressed with the factory insole. I am not a large person, BUT, within weeks the bottom sole was separating. And the uppers simply do not provide the support needed for overpronation. They made my feet hurt! And they fit very tight in the toes compared with New Balance. These are now in my closet waiting for my next garage sale. A waste of money for me!

I bought these shoes for my husband, who has weak ankles and rolls his foot inward when he walks. This shoe is wonderful. He loves them. He walks easily and with confidence in these shoes. They are very well made.

The reason I wear Propet shoes is they fit. I have very wide feet, as well as problems with my legs. Propets provide good support. They also provide excellent value for the price.
