Customer Reviews Propet TravelBound Tracer

The shoe is fine and is comfortable, but it is NOT at all good for walking in the rain. The bottom has this pattern that has holes in it, I didn't realize until a week of wearing them on a day at it rained that the slits on the bottom of the sole let in water!!! The bottoms of my feet are completely soaked within 4 minutes of walking in wet grass. (No, I'm not talking about the mesh on top, literally the bottoms of my socks were dripping wet because of the design of the sole)

I wear a size 11, and have really wide feet. They're more rectangular, and really wide in the middle and across the toes. I normally wear Keen, Merrel, some Clarks and Ryka sandals, Brooks, and some New Balance styles. I really wanted to love these Propet TravelBound Tracer shoes, so I ordered the light grey in two sizes: an 11x (2E), and an 11xx (4E). I tried on the 4E first, but could tell the moment I saw the pointy, arrow-shaped toe box, that these would never work for me. I don't know what they are thinking, but usually a person that needs a 4E needs the width throughout the shoe, even in the toe-box area. Not just in the middle. I guess if you have pointy rounded toe area, these might work for you. I did like that the shoe itself is very lightweight, very flexible, and the mesh fabric was what I was looking for. They didn't have an overwhelming weird foam smell - it was very faint and not overpowering like so many shoes that have foam. I imagine the bright, super-white soles would get dirty quick, and you may end up with small pebbles and debris stuck in the gaps in the sole (that open up / expand when you walk in them). That just doesn't seem like a good design feature, unless these are only meant to be worn indoors.

These shoes fit right out of the box with no breaking-in period. So thrilled that Propét is making more models in a 4E width and that Zappos carries this. My feet are tired of and sore from trying to squeeze into a 2E width. Very comfortable for my very wide feet!

Great walk-about shoe, light and fits great. Ordered the N and it is was Narrow but on the wider side of narrows if that makes sense. Ordered the black and it is an attractive athletic shoe.

I wear a double wide in a size 6 which is not always easy to find. This is my first pair of Propet shoes and I find the fit and the comfort great and the toe box wide enough. They are soft but supportive on the sides so my foot doesn't roll. The only reason I would not give them 5 stars was because they are hard to put on. The top of the back of the shoe is soft and rolls in and for me it was hard to pull out. Even tried to use a shoe horn and it still folded in. I just got them so I will see if the time it takes to get them on is worth the comfort they give.

I have a wide foot and ordered an 8WW. The fit is ok. The heel of the shoe slips a bit up and down but not a big issue. I would have liked more inner sole cushion across the ball of my foot.

The 4E width is the same as a D width. I am very disappointed. It is super high, NOT WIDE! (see pic, the top white insole is the D width, the barely visible white insole is the 4E)

I have been looking for about a year to find a pair of shoes for my mother who is diabetic with extremely swollen feet. Not only are they swollen, but her feet are misshapen due to bunions and hammer toes. I ordered a size 6 XX(4E) for her, and I am so very happy to say they fit!! I can actually get her feet into the shoes. There are no seams in the toe area to rub, they open up nice and wide at the laces, and the insoles are removable so I can take them in and out as her feet change from day to day. I wish they came in a wider selection of colors, but black and light grey will work well for her.

This is the first time I have bought a pair of shoes in over a year (no shoes needed when working from home). They fit my size 10 narrow feet well. The neutral color will go with anything and I plan to use them primarily as travel shoes. Lightweight but supportive. I am very happy!

I really liked these sneakers. I had bunion surgery three years ago and have had a terrible time finding closed shoes that fit ever since because now I need wide shoes to accommodate my very straight big toe. Ironically that was the reason I had the surgery in the first place, I had difficulty finding shoes because of a very crooked toe. Now it is even more frustrating to find shoes. I had hoped this sneaker would work for me if I ordered them a half size smaller. I assumed even if it was still too large I could wear them with socks or thicker peds as these sneakers were very comfortable, nice and cushiony under foot. Unfortunately when I reordered them half size smaller the sneaker also felt narrower even though I ordered the same exact wide width. Sadly I had to send them back. But I highly recommend giving these sneakers a try. If you can find the right fit I suspect you will be pleased with this sneaker. Thank you Zappos for your generous return policy. If I find a shoe that fits me well I will buy them in every color. Win Win for both of us!

These shoes felt large overall for a wide. I need the wider toe box, but not wide ankle and not super high volume. They are comfortable and look just okay- more like a practical shoe rather than any style.

Nice looking but the toe was a little narrow for me. The real problem is the sole. It is covered in slits that go all the way through the shoe and open up as the shoe bends and flexes. So water will go through the shoe, but these aren't water shoes because they have a foam insole. It makes no sense. Small pebbles are going to go through, too. The soles really don't look like they will last long either, with all those cuts in them. Even if they'd have fit well, I wouldn't have kept them.

I ordered size 11D. The left shoe was a bit smaller than the right shoe (both in length, height, and width. I ordered another pair, same size...same problem. The size discrepancy was something I measured before I tried on the shoes, so it has nothing to do with my feet. Bad batch or bad pattern for size 11D. I had to order 11 extra wide, which is way too big in some ways, but necessary for the purpose of using the shoes.

I purchased these for my 96 year old mother who has very narrow feet. She wears an 8 ½ slim or AAA width shoe. She is able to wear these by going down one size.

Comfortable as soon as I put them on.. very lightweight. Wore them all over Europe . Stylish and comfortable!

These were exceptionally narrow so I am exchanging for medium width. Very comfortable!

I really like these shoes. I wear a 9 A. They fit great.

I purchased the 7XX (4E). I plan to wear it to work since it doesn't look like a sport/tennis shoe.

Love these shoes. I wear inserts, so I have to order half size up. These fit great with my inserts.I

I put them on and wore them. I was surprised because I have a narrow foot. The 9AA worked!!

The size was definitely correct the 2nd time. The Propet TravelBound Tracer are excellent!

I was pleased to discover that I could replace the inner sole with my orthotics. Worked very well.

Love them. Toes have room. Slightly flat soles only negative.

These are Comfy with a capital C! I recommend them highly! Able to fit my orthotics in them no problem. Very light weight you hardly know they’re on.

Very comfortable. Feel solid and stable. Nice weight. I'm looking forward to wearing them on walks and for daily casual activities. Look good with jeans and leggings. The sole is pretty flat so stones won't get stuck.
