Customer Reviews Nurse Mates Libby

Love this pair of shoes! They do run a little small though. I typically wear 7-7 1/2. Had to return for an 8.

I almost kept these because they are so reasonable compared to other work shoes that I buy from Dansko, but I wished the towers more solid to protect my toes from being smashed. There is not a lot of arch support too which is a must for me.

Good shoe for nursing school. Have not yet had a full clinical day but mostly so far so good. My feet are more like a 9.5WW and the 10W worked well for me. Only complaint is that the top of one shoe rubbed and gave me a blister. I am hoping this will end once they're broken in.

Loved the color! Wanted them for my new work shoes, but did not think they were comfortable enough for 12 hour shifts. As always, Zappos customer service and selection is unmatchable. Thank you Zappos.

I ordered a wide. The box was 9.5 W but the shoe was 9.5 M. They hurt my feet. They looked more comfortable then they were.

I really really wanted to love these shoes. They are adorable - ??? the doodle design! I work with special needs students in an elementary school and need reliable footwear that would keep me on my feet all day without pain AND clean easily. Why not nursing shoes? I guess not for me. Let me be clear - I don’t blame the shoes. I blame my oddly shaped, high-arched, small feet with big bunions.... not the best combo for shoe shopping (especially online). That being said, the “arch support” felt like it was on the opposite side/in the middle of the foot bed and not where I needed it *supporting* my arch! ((I wear ASICS for running to combat over-pronating. Their arch support is ? on point!)) Also, it was a little difficult to actually put on the shoes. I only tried them on once, so I’m sure they loosen up with wear. Maybe if I let these Nurse Mates break in more I’d love em, but I am more inclined to keep searching. I believe these shoes will fit a Cinderella out there and that’s why I’m returning. They are too adorable to live in a box or on a shelf!

When I tried the shoe on and walked around the leather squeaked.

I was attracted to these shoes after seeing my sister-in-law's pair, but when mine arrived they were just a bit too small and I thought they felt a bit flimsy compared to my favorite slide, Merrell Encore. You get what you pay for, I guess! Cute style and fairly comfortable for the price. If they had fit better, I probably would have kept them; as it is, I returned them and decided not to try the next larger size.

Excellent non-slip sole. Too tight across the metatarsals. Not enough arch support for me, and my usual inserts don't fit. Poor quality upper - got an ugly scrape within a week of receiving them than I can't fully polish over because the coating on the shoe is poor quality.

I wanted to love them like my other Nurse Mate shoes but my heel kept coming out of the shoe. I liked the look & the front fit was good but I knew another size would not fix the problem. I had to return them.

Heel is a little too narrow and 'sharp' (or not padded); making it uncomfortable for me.

The soles of these shoes are super comfortable, but the material feels cheap and there is a seam that rubs on the inside of my foot that I think will cause problems if I wear them for a while.

These shoes were too wide for my feet, and I need something with good arch support but these didn't seem to have any. I liked the style and they felt like I was wearing slippers.

Nice style of shoe, but has little to no arch support or shaping to the footbed, which is surprising for a 'duty shoe.' You will definitely need to replace the insole. Ultimately didn't fit quite right (the top of the shoe was too tight across my foot).

I got these shoes to go with a pair of grey pants for which I was having a really hard time finding a shoe in the right grey color. They look great, but they are really uncomfortable. I usually wear a 7½ medium, but they were way too small, so I reordered a size 8. That was still too small, and the sides rub on my ankle bones. Unfortunately I am sending them back.

Super cute and lightweight for the feet of nursing students, but after attempting to stretch and wearing them for 2 8-hour shifts, I have to exchange them. Beware if you have wide & flat feet!

Although really cute, this shoe was uncomfortable for my narrow feet. Going by the reviews, I was really hoping that they would work for my long days working in a school. The material was too stiff and not a lot of arch support.

Love that these are true clogs with a low heel height. Unfortunately the 9.5 W was a half size too small. I ordered the 10 W direct from NurseMates as I thought it would fit perfectly and I had a coupon code. My mistake. The 10's were a half size too big and awkward to walk in. I guess the fit just isn't for me. If the fit were perfect, I think these would have been comfortable and worked for me. For reference, I wear a 9.5-10 W and am looking to replace my Dansko's, size 40.

The shoes were very uncomfortable. It hurt my feet and I got scabs after wearing it all day. Not the best for long wear.

Shoes squeezed so loudly it was disturbing the patients and annoyed the nurses. I wore them straight out of the box and could not wait to end the day and get them off. Defective design.

This is my second pair. I read previous reviews stating they were noisy/squeaky. I took the chance and bought them and didn’t have a problem with my first pair. This pair I have now... I can’t even shift my weight without them making some sort of squeak or noise. Very irritating when you work in a quiet environment. I needed work shoes ASAP so I’ll keep these but will be trying something new in the future

I finished my first day of nursing clinicals today, and I have to return these. My feet and legs are aching, starting to blister on my heels and toes. They felt fine at first but my feet slid forward and back a lot. If it were bearable I would keep them. I'm so exhausted from wearing uncomfortable shoes on top of my first day that I don't think there is any way.... Sincerely, A Very Tired, Sore Nursing Student..

I was disappointed with these shoes I expected the leather to be soft and the shoes to be comfortable, I found them to be hard I couldn't get my feet into the shoes until I removed the insoles however after I did that they had no support whatsoever and were too loose, the insoles didn't provide much support either. Had to return the shoes.

Very disappointed. First of all not much in the way of padding. Then in wearing them in the house they seemed fine, however at work, my toes were pinched, so the sizing was off. Since I wore them, I couldn't return them. I have a pair of Clarks that are more comfortable.

I really want this shoe, but the sizing is ridiculous. My normal size is way too small, but if you go up even a half size then they are too big. Good luck finding one that fits. I really like the style, but have tried 4 different pairs and none have worked.
