Customer Reviews Propet Cronus

This was a great shoe for my father when he was ill & had severe swelling in his feet and legs. They were easy to get off and on with the velcro backs and tops. I found no other comparable shoe to this. It accommodated the extreme width that he needed and the soft material meant that there was nothing to rub or press on his fragile diabetic feet. They were a great find.

This shoe is truly remarkable and a God-send for my elderly father. Leg edema brought on by his Parkinson's disease causes his feet to swell, with size fluctuations not just from one foot to another, but size fluctuations from one week to the next. The innovative design of this shoe results in a sure fit regardless of the swelling. Because of his mobility issues, Dad hadn't been able to put shoes on without assistance for several years. Now he can! They've been a game changer for him and I'd recommend them to anyone with similar challenges. I'd recommend Zappos, too. Their price for this same shoe was less than 4 sites I visited, and way cheaper than 1 other site. Great service and great prices have earned them my customer loyalty.

They were too big should of ordered a smaller size. My husband needs a size 13, but he has swollen feet so he needed the wideth.

I bought these for my 81 year old uncle whose feet are swelling due to medical issues. He says they fit all right, but the fabric across the top is not sturdy enough for daily wear/use for him, as he is still driving, getting out, checking his property (he is a retired cowboy/oil-field guy. He misses being able to wear his cowboy boots). He said the width is good and the sole feels sturdy. He stated, "If your feet are really swollen, these would do the trick."

Our Sunday school class actually bought these shoes for a handicapped man who was going barefoot because he simply could not find any shoes that would fit him. No one in his family knew anything about shopping online, and there were no shoes locally that would fit him. He has some sort of serious condition which causes his feet, legs, and ankles to stay terribly swollen. He is on a walker, and someone has to try to put his shoes on him. However, shoes that tie will absolutely not fit him. A friend directed me to go to Zappos, and the problems were solved! A wonderful Zappos customer service representative helped me to find the Propet Cronus Medicare shoes with the velcro straps across the top and at the back of the shoes. These straps allow for proper fitting for each person and for each foot. The sole is soft yet durable, and the shoes themselves are pliable and comfortable. They can be purchased in various widths -- even very wide sizes. We took the shoes over to our friend, put them on him easily, and watched the priceless look on his face. What a joy! Zappos is a great company with great products and great staffers who know their merchandise. They have blessed a very needy man.

My dad is suffering from congestive heart failure. When I realized he was squeezing his feet into his shoes I began looking for a solution. These are fabulous, just what he needed and they don't look too much like "special" shoes.

I order the reg size 13 for my husband who has leg & feet problems but he felt his toe was hitting the top of the slippler because he has thick nails so he asked me to return them and get him a size 14.

I purchased these as a gift for my 37-year-old son, who has very a wide forefoot. Despite the fact that we ordered the slippers in size 5E, they still put uncomfortable pressure on his outer toe. Length was okay, but marginal. He went up a half size and they were still a bit tight. However, once he went up a full size (to accommodate width) the slippers fit fine, and he is very happy with them now.

I bought these for my dad who has diabetes and is also in a wheelchair. He is in a nursing home and was only wearing socks every day since he can no longer walk. But when we take him out to dinner his aides would always put his shoes on. They were getting tighter and more uncomfortable and he never said anything until one night when they were so painful he couldn't take it. I ordered these the next day. He loves them and wears them daily. The velcro around the heal as well as the top is super smart. Dad has very difficult feet; super wide, hammer toes, and bunions, he always had to special order his shoes...I'm glad his feet finally have some comfort.

The Propet Cronus shoe was exactly what I was looking for. I recently had foot surgery and needed a shoe that would go over my dressing. The Cronus did the job and continues to do the job since it's adjustable. And Zappos is my first choice when I need new footwear. Their prices are great and their delivery is second to none.

I really love these slippers. They are the best I ever purchased. I can wear them all day. I recommend them to everyone, especially if you have ankle/foot problems.

My husband's feet are swollen so the Velcro on the sides need to be higher/longer on the sides. The flap wouldn't stretch far enough to stay secured. Had to add more Velcro to the sides of the shoes so they would stay secured on his feet.

Initially, I was very well pleased with this shoe. However, the lining on the sole did not hold up after wearing for a few months. The lining came loose and bunched up.

These adjustable and comfy shoes were wonderful for my diabetic husband. They were easy to put on and cozy, no rough spots on the inside so they are safe for delicate feet.

Hello. My husband loves these shoes. We had to return a pair a few months ago and was disappointed that they weren't what he could use! (And so easy to return.) The velcro is great for a comfortable fit in this new pair. You people are the best. (I don't like the word 'guys.') Customer Service is your Name. Love your videos and your new Porta Potty innovation. Keep up your great work. We need you. from two very Senior Citizens. XXOO

So great I bought 2 pairs, one for indoors and one for out. And even though for a medical condition, they look better than I expected. Difficult to judge how they look from photo, black on black on black. But they are great.

Very happy with this gift for my uncle who has wide feet and a bit of swelling. Easy for him to put on himself. Comfortable and soft fabric. Good support in arches too.

Excellent shoe option for someone with edema or swelling of the feet and ankles! Easy to put on and take off. Can even be worn hospital socks or socks with grippers. My dad claims his Propet Cronus are comfortable than wearing a sneaker! Good soft-soled shoe that can be worn for walking exercise and physical therapy.

Very pleased with these shoes-wish I would have found them sooner. My Dad has neuropathy and lymphedema. Normally a size 13, but got him a 14-best thing we could have found. He says they feel great.

Best shoe available for feet with pressure sores. Very comfortable and can adapt to varying sizes of swollen affected areas.

fit and size was good very light and comfortable

I had high hopes for this pair, as I have a very narrow foot, which "Medium" does not match, and there is a strap to tighten the heel, but it did not tighten well enough so that my heel slipped around. It was a 15, and I really need a 16, which apparently they don't make.

I bought these shoes for my 100 year old father. He reported that they are extremely comfortable and easy to put on (the Velcro at the heel is great feature), but they have no traction on his low pile synthetic carpet. They would probably be fine on a vinyl or wood floor, but they slide on carpet. We exchanged for the Propet Stability X-Strap, which is also comfortable (though it lacks the Velcro at the heel) and has tread that does fine on carpet.

I bought these for my 92 year old father who is having trouble getting slippers on and off. The concept works great but unfortunately there is a large seam at the base of the upper flap that caused him quite a bit of discomfort. As a diabetic slipper, I'm concerned that on some people this flap would even cause some rubbing or irritation that could damage the skin. Surprising.
