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

Unfortunately these shoes were just too short and too narrow to accommodate my needs. Even the wide width made my feet feel cramped. Tried several other styles in the same brand with a similar problem.

I wanted to love these shoes. But I don't. The toe box is pinchy, and does not accommodate a second toe longer than the big toe. I've stuck with them for months, hoping that the toe box would stretch a bit, but no. And the sole has started to peel off the left shoe. I bought them for comfort, not style, and find that I have neither. Disappointing.

I knew I'd need to replace my old walkers, so got a jump on it. I got these in both black and white early in 2016. I've worn them to casual gatherings, and they look good. However, just lately, I retired my old "stompers" and started wearing these on dog walks. They're fine on the street, but when I walk a local path that has large bluestone gravel scattered about, I can feel the stones right through them! I'd be surprised if the sole was more than 1/4" thick. Thus, I'm giving them a three star rating. This type of shoe, walkers, (IMHO) should have a sturdy sole, and these don't. I noticed when I first wore them that they were lighter than my old ones, so that's a plus - but not at the expense of a good sole. It will be interesting to see how the sole holds up, as I walk about ten miles weekly.

Believe it or not, this WW is not wide enough. Like the look of this shoe.

I like them but they seem a bit snug in width. I'll give them a chance though because I do love that they are light weight.

Shoe fits OK (a bit on the small side). The innersole isn't very cushiony - I removed it and replaced it with a Dr. Scholl's innersole with more arch support and heel cushioning. Wish there was a bit more of a bounce in the heel.

I recently purchased these shoes because of the high ratings, I was looking for shoes with a lot of support as I am on my feet all day and walk a lot. The shoes are much lighter than expected and almost have a slipper like feel. I do not think they have sufficient support and the sole is rather thin and flexible. They would probably be good for occasional shoes, but not as long wearing all day walking shoes.

I was looking for a shoe with good cushioning for standing for long periods and walking. This shoe is light weight and comfortable. But not as cushiony as I was hoping. Also, the first day I wore them on a dog walk, the white on the inner rim rubbed off where my inner sole must hit against my other foot. I've never noticed a rubbing away on any of my other shoes. I am happy with the price. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they won't wear out too quickly and continue to be comfortable.

Slightly longer and narrower than I expected, but not enough to prevent use. Most surprising was the lack of arch support, since this is a supposed to be a medically supportive shoe. Style is very good, however.

This shoe is relatively comfortable, but with noticeable foot symptoms, such as numbness, prickling, and coldness related to diabetes, it is still too confining.

These might be a reasonable value in their price range if you're not accustomed to better quality shoes, but I'd say they are about average for a $60 Chinese shoe, nothing special. Some glue visible in seams, D width purchased for my wife seemed to be narrow, so returned them. She says there didn't seem to be much arch support, but could not wear them long enough to judge fairly because width was so far off. She slipped them on and slipped them off saying "send 'em back." She's pretty picky about her shoes, and why not? Shoes need to be right when your feet are not.

This shoe feels a bit tight, especially after being on my feet all day. I've not tried to wash these yet, so cannot speak to how well they'll wash/hold up after.

I have owned these shoes for 2 weeks - half of that time they have been back (twice) for repair - the sole is coming off. Disappointed.

Propet Walker - I like the looks of this shoe but unfortunately it isn't as comfortable as I had hoped it would be. It needs more cushioning on the ball of the foot near the toe area. The heel area cushioning is good. I wear these shoes at least 8 hours a day and my feet are tired and sore when I take them off. I have some tennis shoes made by Dr. Scholl’s with the gel inserts and they are a lot more comfortable than these are. If these shoes had a better insole they would be great!

I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit. In a dress shoe, I should be wearing an 8 4A or even an 8.5 4A. It's almost impossible for me to find a casual or athletic shoe narrow enough for my foot and heel. I ordered these shoes in the royal blue to wear with jeans and capris because I didn't want a clunky-looking athletic shoe and thought they would make my foot look smaller than it is, which they did. My previous experience has been that I need to order at least 1/2 size smaller in a casual shoe and what most companies advertise as AA or N aren't really that narrow, and usually their lengths seem longer, too. These shoes weren't available in an 8 N, so I ordered a 7.5 N. I wish I had waited to see if they came in later, because with a thin sock, they are almost too small in the toe area. My little toe on my right foot felt pinched, and my big toe was right out to the end. The heel and arch fit well but I hope with time they will stretch a bit in the toe area, since they are leather. I will try wearing them without a sock liner for a few times to see if that helps stretch them, too. I live in Florida and I like the idea that they are washable and the royal blue color is a nice change from white. Bottom line: order at least 1/2 size longer than normal, and these shoes seem to run narrow. The AA fit like a AAA shoe.

Not as good as my Propét sandals - I have had good luck w/ Propét sandals so I thought I would try the sneakers. They were as well cushioned. I have feet that quickly become sore and these didn't have enough cushioning for me. I did have to wash them and I was amazed. They came out just like new. I thought something negative would happen to the material, but I just let them air dry and they were perfect.

The shoe was wide enough but the toe box narrowed too much for wide toes

Poorly made shoe, with zero arch support, little cushion for $82.95. I dont shop at Walmart, but I know ppl that do and get same quality for under $20. The only positive thing; they are the correct width, which is very hard to find in a womens 11 (aa)

These were very uncomfortable, I could not wear them and ended up giving them away.

I have a long narrow foot, and most manufacturers have abandoned my size, so I was hopeful when I found these in an 11 4-A. Unfortunately, they were huge! Maybe they are designed to fit orthotics, but they were a lot deeper than I expected. There was a strange gap in the opening. which could not be closed by tightening the laces. Sadly, back they go. I am so grateful for Zappo's return policy, as it is impossible for me to find shoes in stores and difficult to find any anywhere.

Disappointed. I was hoping this shoe had good support, but for my hyper-mobile feet with plantar-fascitis, they felt sloppy.

Not as I hoped for. I have such difficulty finding shoes to fit my feet and I thought these would work. They fit in the toe box area, which is where I usually have problems. However, the company cut the tongue of the shoe too short and it keeps jabbing me in the leg. If not for that I would have kept the shoe. I hope the company and others will stop trying to cheap out and make the tongue of their shoes longer and more padded, the way shoes used to be made years ago when we manufactured them in the USA.

heel was much too wide!

I am very upset about these shoes. They were not true to width and it felt like I was walking out of them. I have never had such problems with Propet before.

These were awful. They seem poorly made and did not fit. They were smaller and more narrow than expected.
