Customer Reviews Propet Stability Walker Medicare/HCPCS Code = A5500 Diabetic Shoe

Great Shoe - I am in Law Enforcement and wear this shoe in uniform and it’s like walking on air. Good support and long lasting and comfortable. I recommend this shoe for anyone.

Wow! What Service! I ordered these shoes on a Saturday with Standard shipping, and had the shoes in hand on Monday at no extra charge! Incredible service! Have bought several pairs of shoes before, and will continue to do so.

Propét Stability Walker! These shoes are great. My son age 12 wears a 12 narrow. It is the only shoe I have found that fit him without sliding off or looking clumpy for a 12 old. They have the support he needs with the cool modern look for today's kids.

Happy Feet - I've been wearing Propét Stability Walkers exclusively since I discovered them 4 or 5 years ago. There is no "break-in" period needed, as these shoes are perfectly comfortable as soon as they are put on. I wear them all of the time, including to work, where I'm normally on my feet for the entire day, and I have never had foot discomfort with these shoes. I normally rotate 2 pair for work, and have 1 a "nice" pair for other occasions. I suffer from arthritis, and I truly enjoy the comfort that these shoes offer. Additionally, they are available in a range of especially wide sizes, which is what attracted me to them. The shoes wear very well, and I always have to replace the laces at least once, before the shoes are retired. Every pair. The price is reasonable as well. I can't say enough about how good these shoes are.

True fit - A comfortable 5E width that is truly 5E. Durable and easy to walk in all day.

Popet's Stability Walker - This shoe was comfortable from the minute I put it on. So far, have played 96 holes of golf with them on. They feel great!!

Where wide is wide - My husband has wide feet and although many shoes state "extra wide" they still don't fit. I bought him the Propet's Walker, they fit comfortably and he loves them. We went on vacation and he didn't need to even break them in. GREAT shoes.

Good shoe - Great looking shoe, as advertized. A little stiff, I am still breaking it in after a couple of weeks. Size and fit as stated..

These are the only tennis shoe that my husband is able to wear because of swelling. They hold up very well.

Great Shoes - Great shoes, great fit. Second pair from Zappos, will be buying many more.

Happy 12 year old! My 12 year old son wears a size 11 3E. It is not easy finding him shoes at regular shoe stores. I have been shopping his shoes through Zappos for the past several years. I have never had to return any of the shoes. They fit perfect and are very comfortable. He is happy with the styles also. I have no where else to go to find shoes for him but at Zappos. Happy mom!

Great Work Shoes - Great shoe for work, second set of shoes that I’ve ordered for work, couldn’t get a better fit or level of comfort. The service was great and the company goes out of their way to make things easy for you and shipments are fast and reliable. Have ordered casual shoes as well, and love them also... and will buy shoes again for work and leisure.

This is my 6th pair of this shoe. I wear orthotics and these accommodate the orthotic perfectly.

It was a half size larger and width was also one size wider than what was ordered.

I have worn these shoes for many years. They are really comfortable, and I walk a lot every day at work. They used to be all I would wear but the last few pair I have had tend to come unglued where the tread is attached to the bottom of the shoe. Other Propet shoes I have tried lately last longer and I guess I will stick to those and Brooks sneakers. I doubt I will buy anymore of these though, even though I guess I could return them. That's a hassle I don't want to deal with.

ok

I take a 13 1/2 size shoe, so I have to go with a size 14. Plenty of room in the toe box and the width is good. Concerning arch support, I've become accustomed to Vionic shoes. Orthodontic inserts designed by a podiatrist, they are much better that the Propet Walker shoe. But, you get what you pay fore. Vionic shoes and their inserts are expensive, twice the cost of the Propet. For the cost, the Propet shoes are fine. Would definitely recommend them.

I’ve purchased these shoes, including black, tan, and grey versions for the last 3-4 years. They wear great, considering my 330 lb weight. I haven’t found a better shoe on the market. I assume they are Chinese, as the price has gone from $60 several years ago to $100 now. Tariffs I assume. I see that they are no longer be stocked... that’s too bad. A great shoe!

Good support.ok arch support but my husband has a high arch so he is has a hard time finding a show that he is completely satisfied. Zappo's has the best customer service!

I have been wearing the Prophet Stability Walkers for a number of years. I always have three pairs in use: Black, Gray and Brown. This is my first purchase from Zappos and until this point was unaware that they were considered “Diabetic” footwear. The only complaint I have is that they are not available in men’s 12-1/2. The 12s are a bit snug on me.

Pardon the length, but Zappos was nice enough to ship me a bunch of shoes so I'm posting the review of all 6 of them here for you. I'm returning most of them, which I hate to do, but hopefully this bulk review will be of help to you. By the way, I'm a middle-aged male, size 14 5E feet with collapsing arches so I need real arch support. Zappos you need to post a real shoe buying guide to save you and your customers unnecessary shipping costs! General shoe buying pointers: 1. Pay attention to shoes. The wrong shoes can cause all sorts of joint pain. My knee inners were hurting like crazy got the correct shoes, knee pain went away. 2. Know whether or not you have high arches or, like me, flat feet, collapsing arches, overpronation, etc before you buy. It has been my and my podiatrist's experience that there are no shoes out there with sufficient arch support as-is. I have lately been using Montrail inserts with great success. 3. Each size of a particular shoe model will have only one sole for all widths in that size due to cost reasons. Wider sizes will have more leather/cloth upper material, thus it's normal to bulge on the sides. That said, some soles are narrower than others. 4. Some shoes will have more curve than others. If your feet don't curve much, don't buy shoes that do. You can tell by looking at the bottom in the pictures. 5. There is no standardization in lasts (the shoe molds they use when designing/making shoes). Certain brands tend to run a certain way and will always be that way. Disclosure: Brooks Addiction Walkers in 14-4E are my go-to shoe. I love them. Been buying them now for almost 5 years. Roomy, great for wide flat feet, plenty of cushioning, and they don t look awful. From the factory their arch support is as good as I have found, though I have to replace the original insoles with Montrails as they wear. As with any shoe, throw them away when they get old and get new ones. Your joints will thank you. Here goes: Saucony Guide 6, size 14-6E. Slightly tight on 14, barely a 4E, no way it's a 6E. Minimal arch support; Montrails helped out quite a bit. I would have kept these shoes had they actually fit like a 6E should fit. They were as wide as a Brooks Addiction 11 Walker 14-4E, so they lose in favor of the Addiction Walkers. The shoes with the yellow are highlighter yellow - just be aware of that. Hush Puppies Mall Walker 14-5E. Zero arch support, narrow in the toe box, and still a bit narrow even at 5E. Felt more like a 4E. I really tried to like these shoes - they looked nice. But they clogged as I walked, and don't expect any lateral grip from the tread that looks like it got cut by the guy who does all the Japanese gravel gardens (no disrespect, Mr. gravel garden man!). New Balance MW847 14-6E: Nice length, Nice width, but not as much of a roll bar as the NB 840v2, so even with Montrail inserts I tended to roll inward. Overall a nice shoe but I needed more rollbar. New Balance MW840v2 14-4E: Nice length, nice width. Lots of roll bar, and as much overall sole cushion as a Brooks Addiction Walker so that was nice. Definitely need inserts on these as they're board flat inside. Adding Montrail inserts made these a keeper. Brooks Addiction 11 14-4E. Length good. Width typical of Brooks 4E (which is probably correct). Very minimal arch support. I put some Montrails in and they were fine. Unlike the Addiction Walker, these grip your feet quite snugly but were not constrictive (this is probably pretty subjective). The blue-tinged shoes have some bright blue in them which is a little more boy racer than I need but it's not a killer. Propet Stability Walker 14-5E. Length was good, but the whole shoe is ramped forward so it feels like you're stepping into a pothole every step you take. Toe box is tight. No way this is a 5E. Tighter than a Brooks 4E. Ironically these shoes look like they should have a lot of arch support, but the sole gets very short up front. If you're coming from high heels, these will feel great, but for a flat-footed man like myself, no way Josie.

I purchased this shoe for my Dad before we left for Disney World. We wanted to make sure that he had a shoe that was wide enough and comfortable for all the walking we would be doing. Dad has a very wide foot and has had trouble finding a shoe that would be comfortable. The shoe was plenty wide enough. Dad made several comments that he had never had a shoe that was this comfortable width wise. His only complaint is that the cushion on the heels is minimal and at times feels like he gets no support on the heels. I would consider buying him another pair and just make sure that he had a heel insert.

This is the 5th pair of Stability Walkers I have enjoyed. I am a Type 2 diabetic and have suffered from neuropathy in my toes. This shoe gives me the room and stability to allow me to walk a couple of miles a day without pain. One thing you should do is buy an extra 40" pair of laces. The metal lace holders eat through the original laces in about 90 days.

Propet's Walker is good value - Good shoe. Wide box. Needs additional support for ball of foot. Recommend good inserts (always).

Great comfort for little dough! I'm on my feet all night at work and on a concrete floor, no less. I took a chance on the Propet Stability Walker and I have to say my feet are glad I did. It has good arch support which is necessary for my plantar fasciitis and is a really comfortable shoe. It has a nice basic sneaker look, which I prefer to a more flamboyant one. All in all, it's a great deal for the money.
