Customer Reviews Nurse Mates Dove

Great shoe - I am a nurse practitioner and spend a great deal of time on my feet. This shoe was comfortable the moment I put them on and they look very professional. I ordered them in navy and am going to round out with black and brown. I ordered them in wide, in some shoes I wear an 8 and 1/2 even in wide. With these, I ordered 8.

Best shoes on the planet! I would give them a 10 star rating if I could!

Great work shoe - Spending a lot of time on my feet on concrete floors, this is the shoe to wear. It’s light weight and has nice cushion. I tried a lot of other shoes and was in a lot of foot pain, but these Dove shoes by Nurse Mates, I haven't had pain in my feet at all.

Good nursing shoe - This is a great shoe if you work in an area where it's likely you'll get your feet soiled with *something*. They're easy to clean, comfortable and very lightweight. My ankles and knees don't ache after a 12-14 hour shift in these shoes. I have low arches, so for me the arch support was excellent, not annoying or causing me to oversupinate.

Heavenly Comfort! Oh my gosh, I LOVE these shoes!! I am a medical professional and bought a white pair to wear with my scrubs. They are SO-O-O comfortable! It is like wearing slippers. I was THRILLED when I found out that they also come in dark colors to wear with casual "civilian" clothes. I have purchased the black ones, and will probably purchase the brown ones as well. I have arthritis that has deformed my toes slightly, and I also suffer from plantar fasciitis. I wear a 7 ½ B and the size was perfect. I have wasted a LOT of money on shoes that I just could not wear. Not so with these. You can put them on right out of the box and do a long shift with no foot pain or fatigue. Please don't ever stop making these shoes!

Will be returning - These shoes are a tight fit to put on. They didn't feel too bad once I got them on, but after wearing them for a few hours one shoe is uncomfortable. When I looked closer at the shoes, one shoe is narrower than the other. So, I will be returning them.

I bought this shoe previously in a 7.5 and it fit like a glove! Ordered another 7.5 and it feels almost a size too big. Would have sent back for a 7, but they were out of that size. Love this shoe, but wish sizing was consistent. Zappos is the BEST!!

More comfortable than my tennis shoes - I wear them all day from 7am - 9pm. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit and FEEL GOOD all day. These are it for me! I'm going to order another pair in a different color.

Great fit and light weight - These shoes provide all day comfort. I would recommend them to anyone needing quality, lightweight and professional looking shoes.

The 16 hour stand - I am on my feet for 16.25 hours with 30 mins off somewhere in this time span. These Doves controlled my foot pain and burning for the full time. They controlled the knee and shin pain for 12 hours. After 12 hours the pain crept up. I would recommend these shoes for anyone that stands for extended periods. I also recommend taking time to rest both feet and legs.

Bought it for a gift. It felt tight at first try. But she loved it and said will grow into it. Comfy inside.

The fit was true to size, the shoes are comfortable. I like my clogs a bit better but it's good to switch it up once in a while. These shoes are not for style, so I only gave 3 stars for that. They cannot be stylish, they are for nursing school, it's about comfort :0.

I previously wrote a review about the purchase of these shoes and though they fit great they had a constant squeak but I want to say how helpful this company was in rectifying my problem. I am thankful and will continue to do business with this company and thank you for displaying such good integrity. Thank you

I have been wearing this style for many years. It is great when I have to be on my feet all day.

I like these reasonably well. I work on my feet in a manufacturing facility and these are pretty comfortable. I might still notice my feet at the end of a long day, but overall I'm pleased with these

This was a great shoe right out of the box, wore it most of the day without a problem - just my usual issues with any shoe due to all the things wrong with my feet. Wish it was a little more stylish, but hey at least it doesnt look like what my grandmother wore way back in the day!

The fit of the shoe was perfect. Great foot bed. I didn't care for the way the top of the shoe actually touched my leg, so I returned then. Great quality shoe though.

I started volunteering as a docent and was having lots of back pain after standing/walking in loafers for a 4-hour shift. I gave these a try. My back feels SO much better! The arch support is slightly offset to where my natural arch is, but my feet are doing OK with it.

I recently had spinal fusion surgery and wanted some easy-on, easy-off walking shoes. I had worn these in college waiting tables and knew they were comfortable. They still are. Even though the heel rise is low, the shoes stay on and don't slide around. The only complaints are that they're a little heavier than walking sneakers so I don't wear them to walk the dog. Also, the logo is sewn into the heel of the shoe. I can feel the rectangular shape of the logo with each step. Not sure what they were thinking with that. Still, not a deterrent because the tag hasn't made my feet sore.

This shoe runs narrow, but it is true to size in the length. Based on reviews, I ordered a wide, even though I normally wear a regular width. This shoe has nice cushioning and decent arch support. I like to slide my custom orthotic (3/4 length) under the insert, but the insert in the Dove does not come out. I do love how soft the leather is right out of the box. So supple and feels nice around my ankle. I ordered the Nurse Mate Sami, Timberland Professional slip-on, and the Propet Wash and Wear II at the same time. The Nurse Mate Sami is a more athletic style and requires a sock due to the texture of the inside of the shoe. It has more arch support and slightly less cushioning. The Timberland Pro wins out on arch support and cushioning. The Propet has zero arch or cushioning. If you don't have major foot problems, the Dove shoe might be perfect for you.

I required an all-white, heel-covered shoe for RN school. This came recommended to me due to the lack of laces. It can be wiped down with alcohol wipes/disinfectants after a day at the hospital. You don't have to touch them with your hands to take them off - a definite bonus. Comfortable for long shifts. May want to go up a half-size if you plan to use additional supports. I found the toe box to be slightly narrow but it seems to have loosened up a little with wear. Overall, I would recommend.

I purchased Nurse Mates Dove shoes for my daughter who is on her feet all day and was complaining her feet, legs and back were hurting because of the cement floors. She said that these shoes have made all the difference in the world as far as comfort and relieving the hurt she was experiencing and she would highly recommend them to anyone who are on their feet for long periods of time.

I have found these shoes very comfortable and durable so far. As a teacher, much like nurses, I am on my feet a lot during the day. I also have plantar fasciitis so this shoe is a win for me! No shoe will cure all your problems, but I have had the least inflammation in these shoes. They are also very flexible and have good arch support.

I work at a vet clinic and I am on my feet 9-10 hours a day at work. These shoes are so comfortable and wear really well. Normal shoes would wear out and break down in about 6 months. These lasted me at least a good 10 months before I had to have a new pair, the inside doesn't have the same support, but paying a little more for these as opposed to less expensive shoes that last 6 months is worth it. They do not slip off your foot, are really comfortable and they are really light. I ordered a 10, after reading the reviews. Sometimes, I wear a 9.5 and other times a 10. I figured I'd go big, but they do stretch eventually. So, I got a 9.5 this time and they are perfect! The only thing I would say is, the tops of the toes do scuff off, but I'm pretty sure they have buffing stuff for that. That is my only complaint with the white ones. Would recommend.

Bought a 9, my normal size. Needed a 9 1/2. Easy return. Thank you! Felt a little tight at first, then with wear they felt much better.
