Finding a good "light weight" size 15 is not easy. Others I've tried haven't come close to matching the lightness and overall comfort this shoe provides.

I have purchased several different walking shoes in the past but this one is the best. I have bunions and these shoes in the 5E width provide plenty of room. I walk 5 miles a day on concrete. These shoes provide plenty of cushion and support. They also have good traction. I purchased a full size larger than my normal shoes to account for expansion. Great shoes and a great price.

Thought width would be a little bigger in a half size bigger, no such luck, so I will just have to order a third pair.

I was very disappointed in the narrow width of the 5E in Propet Life Walker. They are much, much narrower than the NB 5E. I am sending them back. Unfortunately I cannot find a 5E in New Balance like I ordered in March of 2015. They are 4E or 6E. I am not sure what I am going to do. I could not wear them because they hurt my little and I do nit think they would have stretched out enough after wearing them.

These shoes were so comfortable right out of the box I ended up wearing them every day for the next several days in a row. They only come in black and white.I wish they came in tan or lite brown,I would buy another pair right now if they did.

Very comfortable right from the first wearing. Shoe design allows for easy substitution of a custom orthotic insert, which I need to wear in all my shoes. Would definitely order more of these.

I'm an avid walker in his 70's, and I tried this shoe to see if it would provide comfort and support. It felt strange the first week I used it then great thereafter. I am now on my second pair. I heartily recommend this shoe.

This is the first Propet brand shoe I have tried, chosen because of the many positive reviews, and I am very glad I did so. The shoes are as comfortable as described and appear to be well made. The fit appears to be correct. I suspect this will not be the last pair of this shoe I will own.

My husband is a diabetic and always wears this shoe to protect his feet from rubbing etc. With new Medicare guidelines he must see his doctor (copay) & then have the shoes ordered for him from the company that deals with that which also runs into another copay and then we have to pay the difference between what the insurance pays and the fee schedule. This cost us about $125 last year. Thank you Zappos!

Finally, a Wide shoe that fits, is comfortable, and that does not resemble a Kleenex box. You will not be disappointed in a pair of these. I do not have Diabetes or any other medical condition, just a wide foot. Do not let the name make you think these will look 'dorky.' I even wear these to work with dress pants and have never felt conspicuous. I also own a pair with the Velcro closures; I find these more comfortable and they adjust better to my feet. Great service at Zappos as well.

I have rather large feet (14) and I have a medical history of lymphoma. As a result of chemotherapy I have Neuropathy in my feet. My Podiatrist has prescribed orthotic inserts and this shoe meets these requirements. I ordered it a little wide (3E) to fit the insert. It worked very well. I wear the shoes often and they are very comfortable and fit the prescribed orthotic inserts wonderfully. I am very happy with these shoes and would definitely would recommend these to anyone who has a similar condition.

These are excellent shoes, and fit exactly as advertised. Propet usually fits correctly and these have not let me down. I use inserts for plantar fasciitis, and the shoes accommodate the inserts just fine.

I have had trouble finding a shoe that was comfortable because of my diabetic situation. These proved to be fantastic and the pain disapeared as soon as I put them on!

Used to wear New Balance all the time. They ruined the inserts and have switched to this one. I'm on my third pair. Hope they don't change anything about this shoe.

I have a problem with water retention in my legs, and this causes fluids to gather in my feet as well. Zappos carries sizes that allow me to buy comfortable shoes for my feet. The last 2 orders I've placed with Zappos were placed one day and received the very next day. My last order was for Propet Life walkers, and these are one very comfortable shoe. I'm very happy with my new shoes.
