Customer Reviews Propet Island Walker

Best lately - With my foot troubles: bunions, hammertoe (from limping because of Parkinson's), wide feet & high instep, the Island Walker is the best sandal so far. I'd like more contouring. That might form naturally as my foot presses into the footbed. I wish more shoe companies would line their footbeds with leather, as Propet has done on this sandal. Vinyl gives me blisters. The adjustability of the velcro is WONDERFUL. The 8WW fits my feet as expected. But less coverage on top for a less clunky look, please. They look like nurse shoes. My "funny tan" is a small price to pay for comfort. I'd bought the Propet Ripple Walker first, which looks nicer. The Island Walker feels better. Zappo's honored the price guarantee even though the other company was going to make me wait a month. And I had my Island Walkers from Zappo's the next day, again. Zappo's has my business! Zappo's is a 6 star company!

Comfort didn't last - Shoes seemed comfortable at first. But, after wearing them for several hours, abrasions on my small toe and top of foot appeared. The strap edges need softening. I suggest wearing socks with these shoes to avoid this problem.

Shoe was all right - The shoe was alright, but it wasn't what I expected. The color was very nice, and the fit was a little to wide, I usually order a WW but this shoe seemed to wide for a 2w. I tighten up the back strap but then it makes my foot come forward. I probably would try just a single w if I order any more of this brand again.

Really disappointed - I bought this sandal because it looked like a comfortable walking sandal. (Seduced by "Walker" in the name, I suppose.) I'm disappointed. The fit feels wider than a B, and the footbed has minimal cushioning and NO arch support. I wore them around for a few days to let my feet get used to them, then wore them on an actual walk (45 minutes, semi-brisk pace). The next day I had a terrible blister on each little toe, and my feet ached from the lack of arch support. It LOOKS comfortable, but for me at least, it really isn't. Maybe I just expected too much.

Propet sandals - I had to return this sandal because it was uncomfortable. I have wide feet and thought this shoe would be great. However, the back strap rubbed on my ankle bone.
