Customer Reviews Nurse Mates Velocity

First review was out of the box. I was thinking they were a little snug. After wearing for a few shifts, I have to say that I still absolutely love them. The leather is soft and pliable. The arch and side supports are great and the inside padding keeps my feet comfy. They’re not hot. I’m very sensitive and the softness inside doesn’t irritate my feet. The leather has comfortably stretched to accommodate my foot with an average sock. The toe box is adequate, no pinching. I will always wear these, I think. I even may get a pair for every day as they’re stylish enough with jeans.

Unfortnuately, I've had to return this item as the toe box at its widest is too narrow. I removed the insole (it is removeable to those that have asked) and took off my sock but still could not get my foot in. I have a very high arch due to previous surgery.

First ordered 1/2 size small but had to return for normal size 8.5. I did send them back BUT going to reorder think I like them after all

They’re nice shoes- no specific complaints.

Bought these for my sister. She really enjoyed them. Great for her work and very fashionable.

I give Nurse Mate shoes all the credit for my feet being in such great shape after years of being a nurse. I wore them most of my career and am so happy to find them in a little more stylish shoe that the ones I wore in the beginning of my career. These feel so good and stabilize my feet, so my hips don't hurt anymore! Highly recommend them.

I bought these shoes to be worn with a brace. I wanted a pair of shoes that did not look like a sneaker.

Stark white! If a super white shoe is what you are looking for, this is it! Very comfortable, but I am required to wear gray scrubs, so they looked a bit like ‘clown shoes’ according to my daughter. Otherwise, felt great out of the box.

I ordered a B width, but they were too narrow. Have never worn a wide width, but ordered to try. They fit perfectly as long they don't stretch too much. Very comfortable shoe.

Wonderful shoe, I was looking forward to a good shoe with a good arch support. But they were very narrow. So they were sent back. Ordered a wide in the hopes they will not be too wide. Loved the color.

I love this shoe. The first time I wore them they were a little tight. The second time the fit was good. I love the fact that it is white white and I will use them as my sneaker for the spring and summer.

These shoes fit well, I got them because they came in a wide. Material is soft and better arch support than most sneakers. After the third time wearing these my left foot became a bit achey by the end of my 12 hour shift, so I will buy extra arch supports so I can continue to wear.

These shoes are by far the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn! Easy to clean, and they’re like walking on a cloud! Definitely recommend!

I plan to put the shoe laces in the normal fashion because when I pull them snug, both ends are long & in opposite areas of the shoes...top & bottom. I work 12hrs and am standing for about 10-11hrs on solid concrete. My first time wearing these I had no pain in my feet.

Fit perfectly my 8D foot, but I haven’t tried them on with socks. I know they’ll be a bit tight when i do. If you buy the printed ones, or enjoy wearing thick socks, I’d suggest a half size larger or go wider or both. I bought the leather (black) so I’m assuming I’ll get some stretch. Insoles could be a little cushier (insole is semi-firm) but they feel good on my feet and the support feels good. Inside padding is soft and adequate. They raise your heel a bit from the inside and have good arch and side support. Toe box is average to slightly full. Haven’t worn them for a 12 hour shift yet. This is just my out of the box impression. They’re butt ugly but you can’t have everything. I’ve seen worse looking orthotic type shoes. At least they’re lighter weight and not clunky looking. Not concerned with style, just want to not have my feet kill me at the end of the day.

Fit true to size and width is adequate. Arch support is great, and the large sole makes them very comfy to walk on. Material is sturdy and the no-tie laces are super convenient!

I'm a nurse working 12 hour shifts on a subacute rehabilitation until with up to 21 patients...in short: I'm on my feet a LOT. I have wide feet and ordered size 11 wide. The support and alignment I get from these shoes is superb. I've noticed reduced back pain and it takes much longer for my feet to start aching than with the orthotic inserts I bought previous to these shoes. The material is waterproof but doesnt hold on moisture/sweat. I really like the no-tie laces. I've never been a fan of clog-type shoes, so these are perfect nurse shoes without looking like it. My ONLY complaint is that the wide width toe box is just slightly too narrow. I think with time and use it'll loosen up to be perfect, but for the moment it causes some slight discomfort toward the end of my day. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase!

I love the look of these shoes the shimmery slate grey on black pattern is fantastic! I have average width feet but very high arches so unfortunately the base of the laces was incredibly tight even though the length and width of the shoe was correct. I love the idea of a padded collar and stretchy laces but in practice it made my foot look very wide (while simultaneously feeling very tight). I might try a wide and see if it gives me the extra wiggle room in the arch I am needing.

These were too stiff and restricting for a difficult foot. I really liked the look. Returned them.

Love the shoe except the universal orthodic, hit or miss if it works for you and nurse mates just says try another style, no attempt to offer dif. Orthodics, the half size larger and w for normal foot, put my own insole in, not sure as the heel seems not right with replacement of their orthodic. Disappointed because shoe is great for lightweight, durable.

The shoes fit fine as far as length goes. The width was wider than a medium and felt as though my feet was slipping in the back and the sides were bending. I haven't had a problem with other shoes like this. These things made comfort not possible.

I work on my feet lifting heavy bags all day and I needed shoes that would be comfy but supportive. I thought shoes for nurses would be a great choice since nurses also work long hours on their feet. I bought these and they were cute but hard as a rock. My feet hurt even worse by the end of the day. I washed them and the plastic In the heels moved or melted, I'm not sure, but after 1 wash they were unwearable. The material in the heal was rock hard after and cut into my heals. You should be able to wash shoes.... And they not mess up. I've never had a shoe do that. I ended up returning them after 2 weeks.

I loved these at the initial try on but after walking in them a few hours inside, I do not like them. The heel is too high and my left foot rubs on the left side near the seam. I will be sending these back unfortunately.

This shoe was not the shoe for me. After wearing it to work for three days I am in pain. My feet and knees hurt. I stand on a concrete floor from 7-9 hours per shift and these are not working for me. Very disappointing purchase.

At a first try it felt great and comfortable. But after an hour my feet were hot and sweating. I'm used to light mesh sneakers or true leather boots. I realized later that only black version is made with leather and what I purchased (gray) was polyurethane. Looking for a shoe to work all day I was disappointed. The support wasn't to my comfort, however insoles are removable. The shoe looks nice and well made, but the material made my feet unbearably hot and sweaty.
