Customer Reviews Easy Spirit AP1

This might say it all...my 90-year old mother thought these shoes looked a bit matronly! She's keeping them because they fit and are comfortable, but she preferred the Propet Washable Walkers.

Okay for quick errands, but not for long walks, or standing on your feet for long periods.

I got 2 pairs of Easy Spirit AP1 - I was looking for supportive, light-weight work shoes. Easy Spirit AP1 fit the bill, so I ordered them in black and in white. Since Easy Spirit styles were limited in my size and width, I tried an extra wide. They fit well, and I'm glad I got the extra width. They could use a little more arch support, but overall I am happy with them.

cheap leather look.

The shoe is very stiff. Leather feels synthetic despite labeling that says natural leather upper. The sole is so stiff that I felt like I was walking on a board. Unfortunately, I have to return them.

I liked the style of AP1 but I returned them because there is zero arch support with the flimsy inserts and the ankle area is very big. My Medium width shoe felt like a Wide in the ankle.

I don't think this could even pass for a wide let alone the EE.

I suspect this pair is faulty, but this is my first pair of Easy Spirit, so I'm not sure. They are a little long, but not too much (38N). The problem is that the collar is far too wide, so wide that it seems as though it belongs a wide shoe. I can put my fingers all the way down on both sides at once. There is no way to lace them properly; they gape open. Otherwise, they were comfortable.

These shoes are uncomfortable, offer no support, and just hurt my feet. My feet are wide with high arches and insteps, so I ordered a EE, even though I was measured as a C/D. The EE was about as narrow as some of my C width shoes. This is a disturbing trend, I think shoe manufacturers are trying to make wide shoes look not wide. But actually making wide shoes narrower is not the answer! The heel was way too wide and slipped (my heel is narrow to add to the fun of my weird foot). On the plus side, they didn't have that godawful seam over the toe that usually kills me. I cannot return them as I wore them too long, so I will donate them and hope someone else can use them. I wish they had worked out, but I knew there was a risk going in.

I ordered these shoes in a 9 and a 9.5. They have a more pointed toe box, which pressed on my big toe and joint. This caused my feet to splay out when I walked, a very weird gait for me. They would be bad if you have bunions or ingrown toenails.

I was very disappointed with this shoe. I bought this one because the one I usually got was unavailable. It was not comfortable and the heel width didn't match the narrow shoe. Poor quality.

Fair

Very pleased with this shoe. Is true to fit. I have a lot of foot problems and this shoe seems to be working for me.

This shoe was at least 1/2 inch longer than the last Easy Spirit shoe I tried.

RETURNED!! Leather so thick and stiff that you can NOT walk in them:( No bend in shoe!..like walking with cement blocks on your feet...worn this style for 20 years...China made now:( Soo disappointed...Love the style.

These shoes were so bad I did not even try them on. The shoe was advertised as flexible - there was no bend to the sole at all. no arch support and the cut had no shape. Easy Spirit has quality has fallen way off. Too disappointing but Zappos returns are no problem ever!!

I ordered these all the time - I work in hospitality and am on my feet all the time, but this last pair is totally different- no support and by the end of day one flat as a pancake- I am returning the second pair I bought, I would both if I could.

I had to return these. The back was so loose that when I wore it, it sloshed around my ankle and dragged my socks down. They are very light, but I don't think there is any support in them.
