Shoes fit well, as advertised. Was able to easily remove the insole to replace with my orthotics. Only complaint I have...they squeak when I walk. Can't use my ninja skills with squeaky shoes.

These shoes are excellent if you want comfortable, LIGHT-weight shoes (a total turnabout compared with the weight of Dansko clogs!). The only downside of these shoes is that the arch support wears down relatively quickly (mine lasted about 8 months with frequent wear). They really aren’t the most attractive shoes, but they slide on and off and wipe down easily (great if you’re working with patients on contact isolation or if you get something on your shoe and need to clean them).

No need to break them in they are so soft. Felt they were marked one half size bigger than actual. Heel slips

I felt the white nurse mates were more comfortable than the black ones. I do like it overall. The shoes are much more comfortable with inserts.

Work Shoe -
I am a cashier and I stand 8 to 9 hours. This shoe is very comfortable from the moment I put them on. Only issue I have is that it squeaks when you walk. Zappos has incredible service. Love this website.

Nurse Mate's Dove -
I am a fine dining waitress that walks on a slate kitchen floor a good part of the time, so comfort is of up most importance. I also have a hard to fit foot and settled for a 6 Wide. The first few hours my feet became fatigued, it didn't seem to have enough arch support for me. I have since gone back to my old stand by shoes by SAS that have my 5.5WW size that I require especially for work.

My Nurse Mate Dove -
I have always bought Nurse Mate shoes. And found that they work for me, the comfort is just great I never bought this style before. I had just bought a pair pre Katrina and lost them in the flood. I only wore them twice so I bought another pair and they are just fine and this time I have wore them more than twice. I am enjoying them very much.

Very comfortable -
I am suffering with plantar fasciitis during my pregnancy and needed new shoes for my long hours on my feet at work. These have been terrific - extremely comfortable and accommodate my arch supports. They're not quite as cute as others, like Dansko, but much more comfortable. I would definitely buy them again.

Not what I need -
I stand in 1 area for 8-10 hrs. Although we are on fatigue mats, it’s just not enough. I figured these might work, but seriously they don't help. I did decide to keep them for regular wear because of their look.

Nice but not holding up as I'd expected -
I'm not a professional/nurse but bought these because I'm recovering PF and figured a shoe designed for somebody who's on their feet all day would be a good bet. They look like a casual/outdoorsy type of style and I wear them with jeans/khaki denim. Nobody can tell they're "uniform" shoes. My only complaint is that after only a month of wearing, they have really broken in. The support is OK, but the uppers have stretched out of shape/loosened to the point where they're slipping with lightweight socks and I am concerned they won't last a season (much less several seasons, like the Eastland shoes they replaced). I am contemplating returning the 2nd pair that I ordered for this reason, but have been unable to find one that fits as comfortably. I love the convenience of shopping online and appreciated that Zappos makes the otherwise difficult chore of finding the "perfect shoe" so much less stressful!

Really Nice Comfy Shoe for a Pharmacist -
I have been wearing Dansko professional shoes for the past four years, but I decided to try something else. I came across this shoe and went ahead and ordered it to try it out.
This shoe is very comfy and fits very nice. I work 10 hour shifts and it keeps me from having tired legs and feet and a sore back just as well as the Dansko shoe did. The sole is a lot softer and the extra padding around the ankle is nice.
I'm glad I gave this shoe a try. Not only does it work for my profession, but I like the look a lot better also. This will be my shoe for the next few years at least.

My arch is too tall for this shoe. Couldn't get my foot into it. Returned it.

I wasn't impressed with these. The arch support hit the wrong place in my foot, I'm guessing maybe the shoe was about 1/2 a size too small between the placement of the arch and the tightness of the shoe. I returned them.

I was looking for a sneaker style shoe that doesnt look like a sneaker, for an active biz-casual workplace. These are only OK. They feel like $20-24 shoes, and look it, too. Servicable enough, and I dont have anymore time to order other options. 8.5 Wide, the sizing fit is very good, wish they were a little more comfortable, and the plastic soles had a more finished quality. Cheapish shoes at an inflated price, I absolutely expected more for $77, but Im stuck.

Been buying Nurse Mates for work - although I’m not a Nurse. Need white for summer, black for winter. Went with Meredith for summer and these for winter because they seemed to have more coverage (= warmth?). Good shoe but for me they’re not as comfortable as the Meredith style.

I love the style and comfort of this shoe and this is my second purchase of this exact shoe but what I plan on contacting the company about is the constant squeaking coming from the right foot. I am a Essential Worker and every step creates loud noise walking up silent hospital halls and I am embarrassed. Don’t know how this can be fixed and I shouldn’t need to purchase another pair to fix this problem.

These shoes are heavier than I would like. They also felt too big; I should probably have ordered a medium instead of wide size.

Shoes were super super comfortable and the siping on the tread of the soles kept me stable on even the wettest surface. Many of the reviews said these were sized small and I wished I had not paid attention. I ordered .5 larger and had to return for my true size. I ordered a wide width even though I take double wide. And yet the width was perfect for my "duck feet." I suspect this would be too wide for someone expecting to get just a "single" wide size.
Although the shoes looked well made, the heel of the left shoe peeled away after only 4 months of light and mostly indoor use. I am greatful for the easy Zappos exchange expected later this week.

I ordered this in my normal size of 11W and had to return immediately. It is extremely tight across the top of my foot. If you wear a W, I dont recommend this shoe. If you wear a regular width, you may want to try the W. Also be cautious of the tongue of the shoe riding up. It rubbed against my ankle when I walked.

I bought these shoes and initially they fit. I wore to work and my feet killed me all day. I wish I bought a 9.5 instead of the 9. I have the white Meredith's and they fit perfectly. I wasted my money.

I would have liked to give these shoes a higher rating, but I had pain from my bunion every single day I wore these to work (on my feet for 8 hrs). My feet were much better wearing my Dr. Scholl's tennis shoes.

I have wide feet, these were difficult to get on. Once I got them on the fit in the toe box just fine. I had to where them with no socks for the first day. Also I had to cut the elastic which helped a lot as they are too tight at the top near the ankle.

The fit is fine for me (I have large feet 12W). the problem I had is how long they lasted. I work 36 hours per week in a hospital, and these shoes were trashed four months after purchase. The sole pulled away from the actual shoe portion - leaving a huge hole along the front of the shoe. I take very good care of my shoes, and I really expected more use out of them.

I usually wear a 9.5 W and always need extra cushioning. As a teacher who’s constantly on the move, I had high hopes with these shoes. The Dove 9.5 W is true to size and width, but the style is not very comfortable at all. The heel is too low (felt like I was going to walk right out of them) and the part above the toe is too high.

Not very slip resistant. Great fit and feel, but slippage is a big issue. Work in a large prison kitchen on cement and degreasers make floor slippery. I do wear them when I am not working because they are extremely comfortable for just normal walking. Lots of cushion on the heels and fits arch well.
