Surprise Shoes - Until I was shopping around Zappos for a new pair of shoes I had never heard of Propet shoes. After reading what other people had to say about the shoes I decided to give them a try. My first pair, size 11 was a little too tight, my mistake, so I sent them back and ordered a pair of 11½. Wow! A week later I was in a pharmacy that specializes in diabetic supplies and there were Propet shoes, everywhere! Thank you Zappos for your excellent service and great shoes!

Excellent Walking Shoe - This is an excellent lightweight shoe for walking. You might not feel 100% comfortable if you stand prolonged in one spot, on a hard surface. However, it has surprising support and functionality. It's close to orthopedic quality. The best shoe I've found of its kind, in its category, and price range. Beware, the width of other Propet styles appear wider when compared to this shoe's sizing. The other models are more true to width sizing. The company needs to create an E and EE size. I should have purchased more than one pair of these Life Walkers.

Propet Life Walker - I purchased a pair of white Life Walkers and loved them so much I purchased a black pair. I believe the string ties are better than the hook and loop strap types because they give better support when walking down hills. The strap types let the foot slip around. I have some calluses on the ball of my left foot and this shoe has sufficient cushioning that I don't feel the impact of the foot imperfection when walking. Propet seems to have my number. They made a wetland walker that has been discontinued and it also fit perfectly. I would say they have the right size and width as marked. I hope they continue to make and sell this model.

Excellent shoe - It took me a long time to find a wide shoe that gives me so much comfort. I am a milkman from New York and needed this shoe a long time ago. Thanks Zappos

Propet Lifewalker - I bought these for my husband to work in. He put them on and just went without any breaking in. He just loves them. We love Zappos. I have purchased numerous shoes for us and we have never had to send anything back!

Wonderful work shoe!!! I have ordered several times from this site and am always satisfied, but... this shoe went beyond expectations. I work in a bakery. The no mark, non slip soles are great. The cushioned heels are great for this "over sized" guy. I highly recommend this shoe.

Why I keep buying these shoes - Because they are so comfortable. Before I got them I was having pain in my feet even when walking barefoot in my home. Since I have been using these (about three years) my feet feel good - no pain.

Great walking shoe - I am on my feet and walking 7 hours a day. This shoe has wonderful support is light and not bad looking. I have a ligament problem in left foot and usually have pain there but not with this shoe. This was the best money spent for a first class walking shoe!!!

Dogs Feeling Good Tonight! I walk up to 7 miles a day on concrete so it is important for my shoes to fit well and be comfortable. My new shoes really fit the bill. The shoes are very light. There is no break in period needed for them. I am very pleased with the Lifewalkers and Zappos. I will be a repeat customer.

Great Shoes - This is my 2nd pair of this shoe, I wear a 5E and it’s tuff to find them. I've been buying from Zappos for about three years now and the quality of shoes and customer service can't be beat, they bend over backwards to make you happy with your purchase. The shoe looks good, fits right, well made, and like I said if you aren’t happy then they're not happy and they WILL make you Happy!

Propet Lifewalkers - This purchase was a replacement pair of this same shoe that I wore out after three years of use. I think these shoes are very comfortable and offer support where I need it.

A nice shoe - My husband has an odd shoe size and he is also very fussy about having shoes that are comfortable. He is very pleased with these shoes and would buy them again. As for the sizing - he normally wears a 7 1/2 EEE - but after reading the other reviews we ordered the 7 1/2 EEEEE. It fits very well.

Warm, dry protection for casted feet - From athletic injuries I have neuropathy producing charcot feet, basically broken feet which will not heal. I am active teaching, refereeing soccer, swimming, football, and track and field. To protect my feet and allow me to maintain the style of life I wish, at 65, I needed good protection large enough to go over the articulated cast on each foot. Although ordinarily a size 10 1/2 EEE, after measuring I needed a 13 EEEEE to fit over the casts. I have both a pair of sneakers and "mudders" and they are superb. (I just came in from shoveling a foot of new snow with dry, warm feet.) I assume that special shoes might be constructed for me, but Propet are reasonibly priced, true to size and do the job superbly. I can only imagine that the same holds true for normal sizes and feet.

Great Shoes - A very confortable shoe.I work for a printing company, and I am on my feet from 8-10 hours a day.The service from Zappos is great. fast delivery and no problems if you should have to send them back for some reason, with free shipping. I own two pair's now and will purchase another as my older shoes wear out. I use to buy Rockports, but could not find the one's I liked in my size, a 16EEE. So I tried these and are happy with them. A lot of there shoes come in the larger sizes which suit me.

Two week test of the Life Walker - I gave these shoes a real test. We visited Disney and walked two miles a day on concrete just to get to and from the park entrance. I have no idea how many miles I walked inside the park. The right shoe was a little tight and rubbed my little toe. I should have gotten a wider size, but it is too late for an exchange. They were light and very supportive. The only thing that hurt was the little toe. If you wear the Medium width in the Village Walker, get the wide in this shoe. I need to get my order in for a Village Walker Mid.

buying my second pair of Propet Life Walkers - Propet Life Walkers are great shoes. They're very comfortable and light weight, with holes for ventilation. My first pair served me well while recovering from a back injury... and after recovery, in daily hard use, often exposed to saltwater. I'm now preparing for a long trip, and I've not seen anything more appropriate for travelers who need comfort and good style. This one shoe will meet both my casual and dress needs while on the go. At first I found the shoe a bit high under the ankle bone, but it quickly softened and re-molded. I would welcome a color option in brown (now only available in black or white). I needed an "X" width, though my feet are narrow. Today I'm buying a new pair, just like my old ones.
I'd also recommend:
The Propet hikers are good too, but I recommend choosing a broader width than you normally buy.

Life "Light" Walker - The name should be Light Walker because they are so lightweight. Others reviews made comments on how the shoe felt narrower than other Propets. I ordered these in the same size as the Village Walkers I wear daily. The Life Walker does feel narrower than the Village Walker, but then they are brand new. They have been comfotable from the start and since I have been wearing them for only a week I cannot comment on their durability.

Propet - walking shoe with removable orthonic - This was a great find for my husband because he can use his own prescribed orthonic insert device (there's enough space), in place of that comes with this style sneaker!

No more tired feet - My husband is a big guy with wide feet and he thinks these shoes are maybe the most comfortable support he's ever had. He comes home after being on his feet all day and doesn't think about his feet. That's about the best thing he could ever say about a shoe.
