I purchased this shoe for an elderly relative that uses a walker. He loves the shoe. It's comfortable with a great fit. I like the fact that the shoe has non-skid soles as I was looking for a shoe that would provide stability.

HUSBAND THRILLED WITH THIS SHOE -
My husband would not take these shoes off his feet when they arrived. For years he has thought he wore a 10 EEE (if he could find that size in a shoe)...if not, he would compensate with going to an 11 EE. When I realized that this shoe was actually offered in a 10 EEEEE I decided to surprise him and see if it worked. Having purchased from Zappos in the past for myself, I knew how easy the return policy was so I didn't have anything to lose. I ordered both a black pair and a white pair. When I handed the box to my husband, he was shocked. He never even knew that there was such a thing as a 5E. For the first time in his life, FINALLY a shoe that fit his foot, was comfortable, and was not popping out the sides. He LOVES THEM. Plus, he is only 45 years old, so we were thrilled to realize that they did not look like "old men" shoes (or clodhoppers!!!). GREAT PRICE...GREAT STORE...GREAT JOB ZAPPOS!!!

I buy a pair of Propet every year from Zappos. They feel great, wear like iron, and look good, and the price is right. You won't do better, especially if you wear EEE, as I do.

These are excellent shoes! However, the person who sewed together the left shoe was not as good as the one who sewed the right. The right one has the lace holes parallel, the left does not. Shoeslaces should always go evenly, and this is just sloppy work. I returned one pair, and the second pair was exactly the same! Please take care of this.

The shoe is very similar to the New Balance MW927 that I ware. The only problem I had is that it's about a half size smaller than marked and my plastic orthotic squeaks when I walk. I would recommend the shoe if you don't use plastic orthotics and make an allowance for the half size smaller than marked.

The Life Walker is a keeper, all right. Sure, firm steps; my flat feet are guided along comfortably, too. One quibble that applies to, seemingly, 100% of shoes sold today, not to the Propet in particular: the laces are too long. Overlong laces can easily become untied and trip us, including runners and hikers (perhaps while hiking along a cliff). I cannot understand why. If there is a secret shoelace tying method known only to hipsters and skateboarders, I don't want to know it. Let's have laces that aren't long enough to tie up hostages.

I've been using the particular shoe for 10 years now. For me, it is the best most comfortable walking shoe I've ever worn. They last about 6 months walking about 25-30 miles per week.

Husband loved, loved, loved these shoes after 20 yrs of Nike-dom. Ordered on a hunch that he would. He's not prone to praising his shoes but has commented often how comfy and how much support he feels when he's wearing them. These will be staples for him in his not-working hours. Thanks, Zappos, for your great service as always ... and please, keep these shoes in stock!

This shoe is probably the most comfortable shoe right out of the box that I have ever purchased. The only down side seems to be the sole wears out quit quickly but that may just be my imagination since I am walking more now than ever before. I do believe that it exceeds the warranty for miles though so I really can't complain.

These shoes have been wonderful for my hard to fit husband. Having a big, wide foot and arthritis makes it extremely difficult to find something comfortable. The Propet life walker is wide enough to fit his foot and make walking more pleasurable. I also love Zappos return policy if I need to use it. This is our third pair of Propet Life Walkers that we have been happy with. It's nice that we can find something with style in such a large size also.

First of all Zappos' service is fabulous! Placed order on Saturday and received order the following Monday! Recently had an issue with what was thought to be 'gout.' Could not go for daily walk because my NB's soles were too soft and flexible. The Propet Life Walker was a perfect choice for me because the sole is more dense and firm. Now I can walk in the Florida sunshine and refresh my faded tan. Thanks Zappos!

I bought some PW Minor 13-3E and Hush Puppies 13-5E, both fit my extra wide feet really great. I also bought the Propet's which have excellent lenght, but their 5E was way to narrow for my extra wide feet.
Wish they had wider sizing, as I really liked the style and great price.

It is very hard for me to find my size in 15 3E all the stores around only go up to a regular size 15 if they have it at all. I've ordered before and I have always been satisfied.

I am a repeat buyer of this shoe. This is a quality shoe at a decent price. Also Zappos is very fast with shipment. I ordered Wednesday and received the product Thursday. I would definitely recommend Zappos and this shoe.

You would never know these were a 5E by the looks of them but your feet sure know. After a long day on his feet my husband is usually complaining his feet hurt but after two months of wearing these I have not heard one complaint. It is hard to find an extra wide sneaker that doesn't look orthopedic but these really fit the bill. Zappos does it again!

My son's feet are very wide and he also has sensitive feet. He is very hard to fit. This shoe works well for him. Very comfortable, not too old looking.

This was my first purchase buying from Zappos and my first purchase of Propet shoes. The order came to me in two days which was fast from an online company. The shoes were size 11 3E, they fit and feel great even on the foot that I have diabetic neuropthy. Will be buying more shoes and other items from your company.

I love Propet shoes because their 3E width fits my foot perfectly. In the past I wore New Balance, but their 2E was tight around the arch and their 4E felt like wearing clown shoes. These shoes are very comfortable to wear, and look very nice for a casual shoe. I also like how there is a lot of rubber from heel to toe - I have a tendency to walk on my toes so I burn through shoes pretty quickly if they skimp on rubber toward the front.

I purchased these for my adult son. He needed to size up from 10.5 to 11. He said they are very comfortable and gives him plenty of support. He works on a cement floor all day and these shoes help him through his workday.
