Last year before I went on my vacation, I decided to purchase a new pair of my Reebok Princess shoes. I have purchased these shoes for 30 years. I used to love these shoes and basically throw away the box immediately after purchase. I purchased the shoe from a local retail store threw the box away and placed them in my suitcase for my trip. I could not figure out why my favorite shoes were uncomfortable, hot and did not have any arch support in them. When I returned home from my vacation I did a little research online and found that they are now making these shoes (and many others in their line up) with plastic. They really cannot call them classics anymore. There is no information posted inside the shoes that they are all man made material - and all glued in place. I am so disappointed as these were my favorite and most worn shoes. I cannot believe that they cannot make these shoes in leather anymore. Just try and find one! I am very sad. I would pay more if they made them in leather. Just try and find white leather shoes in this day and age! Please change the shoes back to the original versions!

I have worn these shoes for years and my latest purchase is a huge disappointment. I agree with someone else who has commented on the changes in these shoes. They are smaller sized than they used to be, for starters. I had to exchange them (thanks, Zappos, for a quick exchange!) for half a size larger and am thinking about exchanging them again for another half size larger. They do not have the terry cloth lining that these shoes have always had. This will probably be my last purchase of these shoes and I will be looking for a new brand, which I hate to do!

Like many of your reviewers, I have been so in love with my "Princess" Reeboks. I have bought at least 2 pair every year for the past 26 years, for work in my hospital. They have been so wonderful to wear all day at work, like walking on clouds. I have never thrown out "old" ones untill they were literally falling apart, years old, done in by yard work. Now I see they are made of PLASTIC!!! I have bought a pair, I'm NOT happy about this! AT first they were a little tight around the toes, but have eased up. As for durability, time will tell.... Reebok, why mess with a good thing? If it's not broke, don't fix it! Are you trying to save a few bucks? In the end you may lose a LOYAL customer base. As for me, I will not buy another pair untill they are made of LEATHER.

I tell everyone that complains about their feet hurting when at work that these shoes are the best under 50 dollar shoes to buy. I have owned 3 pairs in the last 8 years and they have not let me down. The only down side is that they can get easily warped from wear and the crisp hospital white shows dirtyness easily. Simple solution! I take them off before leaving clinic and they last longer. They are also nice travel shoes and look cute with shorts.

I liked your service, letting me know the status of my order but was very disappointed with the sizing of the shoes. Being that I have the Reeboks Princess style at home is a size eight I expected the size eight to fit me. It seems to be a full size smaller.

I had purchased these specifically for my job in 2005. I have worn them for leisure and working out as well as my job. All these years later, now Jan. 2015, the rubber sole started coming loose and a big piece came off. To my surprise, because their black and also they don't have a hole, I can actually still wear them. I started to shop at local stores to replace them with no luck. I went on the Reebok web site, but they didn"t have 7. 5 in stock. I'm just glad I can still wear these old ones until they do come back in stock. I don't think I have ever had a pair of sneakers last this long, a little stretched out on the sides but still look presentable to wear, at least until the new ones come in. I would definetly reccomend these.

I've had the synthetic leather version in "techy red" for almost two years now. I don't wear them on a daily basis, but they get quite a bit of wear because the color is so cool. I also have an older black pair that are real leather. Honestly, I'm pretty pleased with the synthetic leather shoes. The texture is certainly different and the material creases in a different manner, but I had no problem breaking them in. Overall they are a bit stiffer than the leather version, but I find the difference negligible. I've not had a sweaty foot issue with these. They've held up well and they clean up quite easily, too! If you've got to have real leather, keep looking. Otherwise, don't be afraid to give the new version a try!

I have been wearing the Reebok Princess for decades, and was excited to get a pair from my friend for Christmas. But to my dismay, Reebok has decided to construct Princess out of a synthetic material now, instead of leather as they had been making it for decades. I do not wear, and will not wear vinyl, or synthetic shoes, and will be returning these. (Synthetic does not allow your foot to breathe, and could be very uncomfortable especially in a shoe/sneaker made for activity). Shame on you Reebok. Interesting too, the price is not any lower. Also, what's with the floating or stick on tags that tells what material the sneaker is made out of? Usually this information is printed on the sneaker, and not on a removable tag... All this is very suspect about Reebok as a company now.

Unlike the individual who posted the exceedingly long 'review' making all sorts of outlandish and unsupported assumptions about the intentions of the Reebok company, I have purchased these shoes many times over many years and they have been consistently sized and assembled each time. Since Zappos clearly describes the upper material as NOT leather (can always count on Zappos!), I am unsure what the conspiracy theory opined to mislead customers into purchasing a cheap product for a 'leather price' is based on, as each pair I have purchased has always had the upper material clearly and accurately described inside the shoe (as well as in any online descriptions). LOVE these shoes - comfortable, affordable, and look good for a long time.

My last 3 pairs of Princess Sneakers were starting to look a little ratty so I thought I'd buy some replacements on line. I was extremely disappointed to discover that the shoes are now made of synthetic materials instead of the original soft leather. I guess I'll just have to make those last 3 pairs last...

These shoes are much better than other trainers that I have bought in the past because they are very light on my feet. They suit pretty much any outfit that I wear. I am very happy with them.

I overall like the product although you can see the glue attaching some of the parts what gives the feeling of not a great quality. It is quite comfortable.

This is the first trainer for ages that actually fits me and supports the foot really well. Most are far too wide so I slide around in them but this one is really good. Please bring it out in more colours.

Bring back the Princess quality of 20 years ago It wasn't until I started reading these reviews that I found out the Princess style is no longer made of leather. It was a few years ago that my friend went to buy a replacement pair and found out they no longer had an arch support. She bought a pair but they are collecting dust in her closet. I bought a pair on-line hoping that they were old stock and had an arch. They did not. So I solved that problem by buying some gel arches; sewing some thin t-shirt material around it and gluing them in the shoes. It isn't as good as what Reeboc offered many years ago but it is working. I don't know what I will do when this pair needs to be replaced. I care too much about my feet to encase them in anything but leather. Nor do I want anything multicolored with more tread than my car tires. I used to buy these shoes about once per year. I had them in black and white. The new ones were worn to work and around town. When they showed signs of wear I bought a new pair and used the old ones on foul weather days, then to riding my bike and finally yard chores. In my opinion lack of arch support is the number one cause of achy feet, back legs, and a multitude of foot problems. Why ruin what was the perfect product?

I bought these faux leather shoes for my mother, who has been wearing the original leather version of Rebok's Princess for many years. After wearing them around the house for a couple of days she pronounced them acceptable. Like her, I wish these were still available in leather - they wore well and never fell apart.

Started wearing these shoes in 1994 when going on a trip to London - was told I could walk all day and all night in comfort! That was so true, so bought many over the years in black/white. The new replacement is synthetic leather, narrow, and most importantly does not have the built-in arch support that just "hugs" your arch. Most comfortable shoes ever made in their original form. Recently have been to ortho doc, PCP, PT - etc., for knee/hip/back issues. Found my "old" black Princess shoes and received almost immediate relief! In every doctor's office and hospital I have been in, the nurses and others working there, constantly say they miss the original Princess more than anything else for their comfort working all day. Please "resurrect' the original style! Thanks.

Hi, I have used at least one pair of reebook princess every year since approx 1990. I have been in love with them; soft, nice, perfect to my thin feet. Now the upper is made of plastic... They are not nice at all. I'm willing to pay more to get leather and the great feeling back. Please make the upper of leather again!!! I do not know how to survive without them;)!

Terrible. This shoe is not composed of leather any more, but is synthetic. They are hot and not true to size, and the arch support is gone. There is no flexibility or breaking in period, and they're like wearing stiff, unyielding boxes. Buyer beware! Reebok is manufacturing a sub par product to cut their costs on your dime.

Dear Reebok, I am so very disappointed that you have stopped making the Princess shoe in leather and are now making them in a synthetic/plastic material. The shoes are no longer comfortable. I have also noticed that the cushioning materials used on the inside have become more and more sparse over the years. The Princess used to be an awesome shoe and now merely looks like the original great design but, in fact, is not. Please bring back the original design made of leather and made with plenty of cushioning on the inside. This truly used to be an exceptional shoe.

I was so disappointed to hear that your princess shoes have changed. They were one of only 2 brands that I could wear comfortably. Several years ago, I was given a pair that were too tight to wear in the winter with my thick socks, but fit perfectly in the summer. A couple of years later, I realized that they had stretched enough to fit in the winter, also. I wore them for several years, even when the shoe showed more and more wear, because they were so comfortable and I couldn't find the princess at several of the stores where I shop. I decided to check online, and I am so glad that I read the reviews. I wanted the shoe that I had before. My motto has always been: "If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it." Apparently, Reebok doesn't live by the same motto.
