Was hoping for the same good feeling of the 70s! The wood feels so good on your feet! Unfortunately, the pair I received was defective and the buckle wouldn't close. Had to return. Not sure if I should chance it again!

I was excited to purchase this shoe based on other reviews that said this is the shoe they remember from the 70's. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn was a similar style of Dr. Scholl's in the 70's. This is not that shoe. The 70's style looked the same, however, the one from the 70's had a recessed heel that was slightly lower than the ball of the foot (like when walking barefoot in the sand). The lower heel allowed a gentle stretching of the lumbar and back of the legs; it also made the shoe extremely stable and easy to walk in any terrain. This modern version has the heel of the foot higher than the ball of the foot, which causes the foot to slide forward. This instability makes walking on anything other than level ground a challenge.

Probably a perfect copy from th 1970s but hard to walk in as a senior. Clomp Clomp Clomp!

I have a pair with flexible soles and want a wood sole but they hurt my feet and I could not keep my foot in place so I sanded down the bump that is in the top middle of the shoes and scored the top of the sole at the toe and heel area and now you can not get me out of them.

I really wish they would go back to the original. I like them and will wear them but I have a pair of originals and they are better. Please please go back to the originals. The leather is to far forward and it's not as tall or chunky. Why change perfection?

They're acceptable, not like originals, toe grip is lower, not as easy to walk in, straps stretch pretty quickly, not sure if they will continue to stretch, heavier then originals.

I couldn't wait to get my sandals, but was slightly disappointed when they arrived. They're not the original sandal from the 70's. The wood isn't solid and the hump under the toe isn't there. They run small in size too. I wear a 10 1/2 so I bought an 11. They're narrow and my heel comes to the edge. I had difficulty opening the band across the toe for adjustment, so unfortunately I will return.

just not the same but a close remake of the original. much heavier, wider, clunkier foot bed. straps are placed slightly higher toward toes on the base which can cause blisters on big toe. but with all that said, these are made with quality materials and seem like they'll last a while. size 9 is a true 40

The classic Dr. Scholl's wooden sandal, the beach shoe uniform of Europe. Problem was quality control, the iten arrived with one of the buckles not able to actually stay closed.

The new Original Collection is not made with the toe bar any longer. That feature (which encourages the natural gripping motion of the feet) is why I ordered these - and the absence of it is the reason I'm returning them. Too bad.

Why call them "classic" without the bump that made them famous????
The colors and "look" are the same but bring back the bump!!!!!
I bought my first pair at the drugstore with my mom. The bump was what made them good for walking

I love the shoe and was so excited for them to arrive, but they arrived just in their box with open tape as if they had been opened. I am a 7.5 to an 8. I ordered the 8. The color is WAAAAYYY off. I ordered the red, these are salmon/orange color. I like the color, but was really wanting the classic red and am disappointed. These aren't a little bit off, the color is not red AT ALL. They fit and I loathe returning but I am disappointed and wish I had the correct color as ordered.

They look great with capris and leggings but they make a lot of noise! Now I remember those years growing up and hearing the moms clunking sounds from above. lol

The length and width seem accurate however the original style had grooves for your toes to grip while walking. Without them it's very uncomfortable to try to keep the shoe on your foot. If the manufacturer redesigned with those grooves I would be back to buy every color. I enjoyed wear in them in my youth purchased for next to nothing at the local drug store and would love to wear them again!

The fit is more suited for a "wide" foot. I have a narrower foot and have had a difficult time trying to wear the shoes because they are too wide. Otherwise they are the Dr. Scholl sandals I use to wear and remembered. I'm looking for a work around so I can wear them. Unfortunately this is a final sale and I can't exchange them for a smaller size.

After wearing them a couple of times and literally falling off my feet while walking and trying to get out of the car and in the car I sadly disappointed in them. I wear a 7.5 shoe so I went with the 8. I have raw bloody blister on one of my big toes as I'm am attempting to keep these on my feet. super annoyed and now can't return them. What happened to these? Ugh

I was hoping for the 'old school' Dr. Scholl's, but disappointed that they seemed very flat, not molded to the foot and does not have the toe grip like they used to-To late to return and very expense

I wanted to love these sooo much! I had these as a kid in the 70's...everyone did. I was excited by them coming back. I must have different feet now but I found them incredibly difficult to walk in ( I had to continually clench my toes to keep them on). I ordered the red and it was not red it was a orangey hibiscus color. That was a bing ding for me as I wanted lipstick red as pictured. I like orange but if I want orange I want it bright, this had a faded orange hue. Both issues have caused me to return them, sadly.
I'd also recommend:
dansko, merrell, born, frye, blundstone and birkenstock
