Customer Reviews Dr. Scholl's Original - Original Collection

My Over All review of these Sandals are low, they Are NOT the Original as stated, doesn't have the toe indentation as the Originals, Nor does it have the Original Buckle. I would NOT refer my friends to this sandal, overpriced for what you receive.

These shoes are NOT the same as the original ones. I know. I wore the original ones for over 40 years--until Dr. Scholl's went exclusively to synthetic soles. The "insole" of this wooden version is flatter, with less arch support, than the original ones, and the leather piece is wider, sticking into and causing blisters on the top of my big toe. Was great to see the wooden soles, but unfortunately not the old pattern.

Loved the concept but were not like the originals, straps to close to the top so I am returning. I still love and wear the originals.

I can barely walk in these, they have removed the little toe grip

They are missing a key component on the shoe to make them the "originals" they are missing the wooden bump in the toe area. That bump is what you gripped with your toes to walk and it was a great leg exercise at the same time.

I never review products but had to because these are awful! I was so excited for them but they're so uncomfortable even after breaking them in for 2 weeks. The strap is either too lose or too tight. The wood is SO slippery they don't stay on my feet. And they are very heavy (you can hear them a mile away). So disappointed.

Why would the bump under the toes and the original design ever changed? I can't wear these at all because I cannot keep them on my feet! So disappointing the original design was changed.

I tried to buy the classic red color and got orange. And what happened to the toe bump? Without that they are hard to stay on. Your toes fall towards the front.

I felt like I was wearing weights on my feet. Awful feeling

The materials are good and the sandal is cute, but the wood it's so hard it hurts when walking and can't even wear them anymore.

I wanted to have this shoes so bad I ordered two times and both times they sent me the wrong sandal for some reason the shoes they were sending me they it have a silver buckle , not what I wanted. And the crazy part if I call and place an order they telling me they can't guarantee I can get that shoe. Please somebody explain that to me that is what you guys have on your website that's what I would love to received a sandal with a Gold buckle.

I had a pair of Dr Scholl sandals in the 2000's that I wore constantly for a long time until they fell apart. They were my favorite sandals and I loved them. They had a bump for my toes to grip, the whole footbed was slightly recessed, the faux wood material was slightly grainy, and the sandals weren't very heavy. These are much heavier, the footbed is almost completely uncontoured and very smooth. They are very slippery and difficult to keep on my feet, and I've actually hurt myself wearing them. On a forward step, sometimes the sandal kicks halfway off and then I step on the back edge of the sandal as I put my foot down. Ouch. I've owned these for a year and barely worn them, and then only to work, since I don't have to walk much there. They are pretty, but too uncomfortable to wear. Like my previous pair, I ordered a 7 for my 7.5 feet and the length is perfect.

Many years ago, my Mother purchased these blue sandals - one pair for her and the other for me. I loved them! Besides them being comfortable, I wore them so I could be just like Mommy. Fast forward, I saw these and got really excited, trying to recapture a piece of my childhood and connection to my Mom who is no longer with us. These are completely different than the original. The dip in the heel is different. The bump under the toes is different. Even the buckle is different. Sadly, I'm not at all happy with my purchase.

My sandals are too small and I can't exchange them for a smaller size.

You should buy these if you hate your feet. I've been walking for 43 years and yet trying to walk like these made me question my ability to fulfill this basic human function. The leather strap is too high on the foot, so it can't keep your foot in place in any meaningful way. There is no toe well, nor is there a heel well. So basically it's a flat piece of wood with an ineffective strap. I fell off them four times and suffered bruises on the balls of my feet. Ridiculous. Dr. Scholl's was very kind in offering me a return, but still, people should know these are purely decorative and not functional at all. Absolutely ridiculous.

They look nice but unfortunately the leather is too far towards the toe on the shoe. They are not in the same position as the actual original sandals from back in the day. They do not feel secure on the feet. They feel like they are going to come off. So one star because although they look nice this new position of the leather makes them unwearable and I have to return them.

Received these today and the buckle broke first time I tried to adjust. I had these years ago and loved them. Customer service was helpful and said I would receive a refund 2 - 10 days. Cannot decide if I will reorder. Very disappointed.

I had these back in the day and they were very affordable! Ridiculously over priced!!

Anyone else have this issue? The sandles are so heavy they clunk clunk clunk
