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

I have trouble finding walking shoes that are comfortable. This is a comfortable walking shoe but requires an insert for arch support because it is very deep so it won't put pressure on sensitive feet. I generally wear a 12WW but always need a 1/2 size bigger for sports shoes. Trouble is, this didn't come in 12.5, so I ordered a 13 and it was surprisingly comfortable. It accommodates my square toes and big feet, and as long as I use a sole insert it fits comfortably.

These shoes are very comfortable and help me keep my balance well. Also they come in a wide width which I need. The only problem with them is that after a short period of time (1 month) they squeak! That's a bit annoying, but otherwise a great shoe. Just FYI, Zappos was awesome getting them to me quickly.

What a surprise! I have a pair of Propet and they fit great, so expected them to be a better fit for me than they are. But, even after loosening the laces, my foot tingled. Plus, after just a few minutes, I felt pressure under the left bunion; perhaps I need more cushioning. Also, my feet are flat and require prescription orthotics. Even with the orthotics in, my feet pronated too much. They weren't right for me, but could be just right for you. Going back to Asics or Brooks. I did think they were quite nice looking in the box and on my feet.

I have a hard time finding shoes that work with my arch supports and these work great. I wish the shoe was just a little lower at the top. It rubs against my foot when I have the last hole laced and causes me pain. It is fine if I don't lace the last hole.

I have worn this shoe for years. It provides arch support and stability. My supplier went out of business, so I turned to Zappos. Prompt service!

Comfortable shoe. Excellent service from Zappos. Zappos rocks!

Decent cushioning. Gave me the width of a 2E shoe while maintaining shape and support. Will buy again.

Really absorbs shock of walking. Great for very wide foot in front though back is too wide for me. Must tie laces tight and glue in extra material around back so that shoe doesn't slip off. Still, the best I've found for wide feet with high arches that absorb too much shock from walking. Wish tops came in summer fabrics as well as leather. True to width in front of shoe only.

I purchased this product because I had some\r\n difficulties finding my usual walking shoes\r\n (Reebok) in a wider width. I am very pleased\r\n with the appearance and the comfort of the Propet\r\n shoes. I will continue to look for Reeboks first,\r\n but Propets will definitely be my plan B from\r\n now on.

Not true to size! I wear a 10N shoe and although this shoe seemed like it would have provided lots of support if it fit properly, it felt nearly a whole size too short for my foot. It was also very clunky looking (but if it had fit, I would have kept it since it seemed comfortable).

Product Review - Stab Walker - I wear a brace on my L foot; had to remove the insert in the shoe, as with it, shoe would not fit. It was tight for the first week or so, and uncomfortable. However, it stretched out and now works fine. I had been given a pair of these by my ortho dr. (the brown colored) and they lasted for about 7-8 mos, then the R shoe heel wore down, thus having to purchase this pair. Wanted the brown color, however, you were out. The white is ok, but not very fashionable looking. *Note: Shoes where the tongue does not open wide, unable to fit an orthotic into. If wearing orthotic, purchase this width or wider; make sure shoe ties, otherwise unable to get foot in to shoe w/orthotic.

Keeping a nurse's feet feeling good - I have been using this same show for about 10 years now and wouldn't change. The only disappointment I have is that the type of shoelace used does not hold up well with the metal loops. I always have to replace with a different lace after what I feel is too short of a time.

Great Shoes for My Arthritic Feet - I am very pleased with these shoes and my entire Zappos purchase experience. I hate to buy shoes because I have difficulty finding ones that are comfortable (and affordable!) for my feet. I need wide width to accommodate my swollen joints, and I find these to be just right. They really have given me stability in walking as well, which helps not only my feet but my knees and hips as well. Life has been better for my feet -- and the rest of me -- since these shoes arrived in the mail!

Best work/walking shoe in wide widths - I've worn this shoe for work as a "mailman" for several years. I find it very comfortable, though I do switch out the insole for a more supportive (and outrageously expensive) one. I especially like the wider "stability" sole, which is great on uneven ground. Recently purchased a pair for my mother, age 73, who has a lot of back, knee and ankle problems and she gives it a good review too!

Not a good fit for me... I ordered these shoes to play tennis in; however the sole is much too rigid for my foot. A Morton's neuroma in my right foot makes it hard to wear shoes with no "give" at the ball of the foot, so I am having to return these shoes. Also, the heel tended to slip, pulling socks down. My other Propet shoes are great, though, and I will continue to order that style.

Great shoe for the price! I have some Propet sandals that are really comfortable and was hoping to find these Propet Stability Walkers just as comfortable, and I did! I have flat feet and my feet turn inwards so my doctor suggested a stability walking shoe. These fit the bill. My only recommendation is that I would size up, especially when wearing thicker socks and orthotics.

Comfort and Durability - This is a very comfortable shoe. It is more detailed than the earlier model -- Why improve on something that is excellent in the first place? Nevertheless, the shoe is sturdy and durable. I can't emphasize comfort enough -- It is perfect for walking anywhere.

I like the look of these "tennies" and after trying on many athletic shoes (mainly used for casual wear and errands), they seem to work the best for me. They're comfortable, more comfy than most of the New Balance shoes I've tried on. I wear a 12 but have to order 13 in all athletic shoes. Not sure why that is! It sure does reduce the choices available.

My 8th pair - I have purchased 8 pairs of the Stability Walker. Great fitting shoe with good space for an orthotic insert. I especially like the firmness of the leather, gives good support for many months. My only complaint - the sole does not wear as well as the rest of the shoe.
