Customer Reviews Dr. Scholl's Original - Original Collection

Not the "original" European models I have loved and worn, worn, worn for decades. These are made in China, narrower, flatter footbed, cheaper clasp. So sad.

I keep slipping in and out of these. I love this style shoe and it's disappointing.

Review and suggestion is for the Dr. Scholl's corporation, the makers of this beautiful, classic, and sexy sandal... PLEASE, GO BACK TO MAKING THE CUSHIONY MODELS THAT CAME OUT 5-10 YEARS AGO! THE WOOD MODELS ARE VERY HARD ON THE FEET AND NOT COMFORTABLE ONCE YOU ARE PAST 18 YEARS OLD... I STILL HAVE 4-5 PAIRS LEFT OF THE CUSHIONY MODELS AND I CHERISH THEM AND WEAR THEM TO EVERYONE'S AND MY DELIGHT AS THEY ARE SO STYLISH AND C-O-M-F-O-R-T-A-B-L-E! I NEVER WANT THEM TO WEAR OUT! PLEASE, YOU WILL SELL MANY, MANY MORE SANDALS IN THE CUSHIONY STYLE AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY! THANKS!

I bought these because I always wanted a pair way back when. Well they scratched up my feet terribly and I got lots of blisters from the leather part which is probably not as high quality as they originally were. I wrote the company was told to send them in and then after months was told they never got them. Sorry. Buh-bye. The shoes never came back to me in the mail so I am sure it is nonsense they never got them.

I've worn Dr. Scholl's sandals like this off and on for years and thought the leopard print would be cute for summer. I have wide feet and assumed (correctly) that I'd be able to adjust the band with the buckle. I felt secure in them after adjusting the band, the familiar slap slap when I walked was the same as ever, but my feet slipped forward so much that I had almost an inch of room behind my heel. Sadly had to return these.

So disappointed in the quality of these sandals. The buckle on the left sandal was poorly attached and would not stay closed securely. When I tried gently to adjust it, a small bit of metal snapped off. As others have noted, these are not made to the standards some of us remember from the 1970s.

I wrote another review on these giving them 2 stars due to the leather stretching, making them difficult, if not dangerous, to walk in, and the difficulty in adjusting them. Shortly after posting my last review, my foot slipped off the side of the sandal as I had described, but this time instead of it only hurting my foot, it also broke the sandal. The part that broke was the metal post that goes through the hole in the strap to determine the width of the sandal. Upon close inspection I was surprised to see how thin and flimsy this metal post was. It was actually comprised of two very thin pieces of metal. These are not the same shoes my mom owned when I was a child...hers lasted forever and mine didn't even make it a year with minimal indoor wear (when I saw how fast the sole wore down after one use going to the grocery store, I decided to wear these in the house only, like slippers). I wanted to cry the day I put these expensive sandals into the rubbish bin, but there was no saving them. This is the first Zappos purchase I've ever been disappointed with and I hope my review saves someone else from experiencing the same disappointment.

I still have the ones I bought in the '60s. They are the originals. Very comfortable footbed. I take them to the shoe repair shop have them put new soles. I had to replace the strap. I bought one of the newer ones. They were not comfortable at all. I took the strap off that one and put them on my original ones.
