A little too big. The main problem is the sole; EXTREMELY HARD. I could just get a couple of 2x4's and tied around my feet, it will be the same

After wearing outside for one day my feet were sliding sideways - I would like to return it but Zappo's policy seems to not allow this because it was worn outside.

Fit and size are fine on my very wide foot. However, these one-year-old shoes have developed such a loud squeak in the sole of the right shoe that I'm embarrassed to wear them any more. It is so loud, people turn and look at them. It seems like the outer sole and inner sole are rubbing against each other. Previous Propet shoes I have purchased have lasted for several years. I don't know if the problem is poor quality materials or the way they are assembled, but I don't want to buy the Village Walker again. $100 down the drain.

The bottoms are very slick. Not slip resistant as other products in this line. Be careful.

The rim of the opening of the shoe is so high that it jams painfully up under my ankle. Also, the shoe is treated with an ant-oder chemical to which I am allergic/hypersensitive.

Reviewed at Destination XL
In a little over a year of use, the rubber soles of the shoes COMPLETELY split width-wise across the balls of my feet (straight through to the footbed) . No way a shoe of this price should self-destruct in this manner. On top of that, DXL refused to stand by this complete lack of quality, citing a 90 day return policy on all items which have not been washed or worn. I guess once you wear anything from DXL, you are on your own from there. Buyer beware on this dud.
Disappointed D,

Not the same quality and manufacturing as the the long standing Propet Village Walker . Sole is different and not a god platform compared to prior shoe

Very comfortable shoe. Unfortunately, after about a year the soles split in half across the ball of my foot. The shoes didn't wear out-- just split in half. Obviously inferior material. I am on hard smooth tile most of the day. These shoes are a big disappointment and I would not recommend them to anyone I liked.

So I really wanted to like these shoes, but I just can't. I read all the reviews and had high hopes; however, the shoes squeak ever time I move. They are very comfortable and light, but the squeaking drives me nuts. From other review no one has spoken of a "break-in period" so I have not idea if this noise will ever goes away. The side of the soles are very slick - I tend to rest my foot on my side while in the car and the shoe slide very quickly on the carpeted floor mats.

I have had these shoes for 10 months, wearing them once or twice a week, and I thought they were a nice fit and feel. But just this week I was surprised when the sole of the both shoes split apart where the ball of the foot is (and the shoe naturally would have to bend a bit in walking). It's a clean break going 1/2 inch all the way through to the padding, not really a rip, but a break. And it's in the exact same location on both shoes, so it seems to be a flaw in manufacture. Needless to say, I am disappointed that these shoes were not more durable, and of course I cannot recommend buying them.

I have purchased these shoes twice - they are very comfortable and stylish - but after about 5 weeks the bottom of the soles cracked in both pairs in the same spot. They claim 1,000 mile guarantee but was not even close to this distance. Very odd they're not fixing this sole issue - the rest of the shoe is amazing.

I have purchased this model for years and recently had my first encounter with customer service department at Propet honoring their warranty. The warranty department did not honor the product as advertised.

Most un-comfortable shoe yet-toe area too small and no arch-typical Chinese shoe-small. I sent back and there are no shoes with a real arch support.

The composite soles on these shoes wore out within one year and one actually cracked across the wide part of the shoe. No more Propet for me.

First time buying this Shoe -
I bought this shoe about three weeks ago and have only worn them 3 times and I regret buying this shoe. It is to heavy and hurts my feet, plus its hard to drive with. I come home and I glad to take them off. I plan to buy a different brand soon.
