Perfect flats!

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017

I am thrilled with these shoes...just ordered my second pair! I have been searching (with little luck before I found these) for shoes that are visually like ballet flats, but have more support and cushioning, plus come in wide width. Bingo! These fit the bill. They are so comfy, even on my wife feet, and look great. The padding of the sole is just heavenly. And there is just a slight bit of a heel - they look completely flat but have just that tiny bit of support.

Cute, relatively comfortable, sizing a little off.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016

I bought these to wear to a wedding because, due to recent foot surger, I cannot wear high heels for a while. These are cute and relatively comfortable. I think they run slightly big. My usual shoe size is usually between 7.5 and 8.5, and based on the reviews I went with 8 in a wide width. I have had several pairs of a different style Dr Scholls flat sneakers, and loved those (Jennie) in size 7.5 normal width, but had another pair of a different style in 7.5 that were too tight. I don't normally need wide width shoes, but I am glad I got the wider width because I still had some pinching on the sides at the widest part of my foot. I wore these with a thin liner sock, but they still came off my heels when walking. I was able to dance a little without them coming off. After a few hours at the wedding I was not too uncomfortable, but I was ready to take them off. I normally wear sneakers most days, so maybe I am just not used to flats. These did have a little more support than other flats I tried on, which I would expect from Dr Scholls. Even more support would have been nice, but it was better than none at all. I tried to fit some support insoles in these, but they didn't work (too thick).

Runs small and narrow, no arch support. Nice style and nicely constructed. Returning.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have a fairly wide foot and can wear either a 7W or WW(2E), or sometimes 7.5W or WW, depending on the shoe. I ordered these because I was looking for a ballet flat that wasn't too orthopedic-looking with some kind of cushioned insole or arch support. I ordered these in 7W and, unfortunately, they were both too narrow (the toe-box pinched) and one of the shoes pinched length-wise as well. The insole felt fairly cushion-y but there was no arch support. Really disappointing. Returning. I feel that the shoe fits a little smaller because of the pillowy insole, but what's the point of having an insole if there is no support, and that cushion is going to flatten out over time as well? The shoes were nicely styled and well-constructed. Debating on whether I will be ordering the .5sz up (7.5W) and if those make a difference. The insole isn't removable so I can't put my own arch supports in. Disappointing.

I have ordered these before and I am always pleased with how they can dress a simple outfit up. These are particularly nice because you can dress them up or down so they're very versatile. They work well with a dress, skirt, shorts, and pants. They're my go-to flats for sure. These were a bit tight when I first put them on, but just needs a little love & wear. Also, the company did happen to package them especially nicely too ❤️

DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES!! AWFUL FIT!

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

I should have listened to the reviews. The part of the shoe that runs across the top of foot is too short, it rubs your foot with each step. I bought a size bigger because the reviews said it would rub. I don't think going up a size will help. I think Dr. needs to rethink how to make this shoe. After 2 weeks of wearing the shoe on a 8 hour day ( i work in an office, most walking was from my car in parking lot to my cube) it created a callus on top of my foot! It also created a sharp pain on the sides of my feet. I bought a different pair of black flats and threw Dr. shoes away. After I switched to my new pair (name not mentioned), the callus went away in two days.
I hate hate hate hate these shoes. What a waste of money!!! DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES! They are awful, I really wanted to burn the shoes.

Not comfortable!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018

I have bought Dr. Sholl’s flats before and loved them! But, I find these flats to be very undesirable. I work in an office where I have to be on my feet most of the day. When these arrived I was elated thinking they were going to give me the arch support and comfort I was waiting! However, I can only wear them for 30 min before the heel of the shoes starts blistering my feet and beyond that it starts rubbing the sides of my feet raw! I have had to put 3 bandaids on one foot just to last over an hour in these shoes! The two stars is just for the inside sole of the shoe which is very comfortable and for the professional look of the shoe. Beyond that I didn’t like this product.

Loved these shoes! I was looking for a pair of neutral colored shoes that I could wear with business casual outfits to work when I didn't want to wear heels. These are perfect! They have a good deal of support in the sole of the shoe but also on all sides as well. I have been able to wear these all day without by feet feeling tired or achy, even on day one. I also ordered some Croc brand shoes and these not only fit better but look nicer as well and were cheaper. I don't normally like Dr. Scholl's brand shoes, but this pair is making me re-think my feelings about them. These seem to be well made and are so comfortable!.

Sensible elegance

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I purchased these for my 40th class reunion. I am at a stage in my life that heels of any kind are out of the question, however, looking "classy" is yet a part of my equation. These shoes are quite comfortable, provide support and look very nice, but not flashy - quiet elegance. I will step into the room with class and comfort - like a princess. ;-)

I should note that my shoe size is small, usually a 6.5-7, however, shoes that have added arch support tend to run much larger and wider, so I went for the 7.5 just to be on the safe side. These shoes are a tad wide, but not to the point of slipping off my foot. If they made a size 7.25 it would have been perfect.

Muy cómodos pero no son lo que esperaba

Reviewed in Mexico on June 8, 2018

Los zapatos estan muy cómodos, la presentación de la caja, el tiempo de entrega todo perfecto. Los zapatos son un poco más anchos de lo que esperaba y aunque es clara la descripción sobre el forro interior de tela, hay algo que no permite respirar al pie entonces suda (cosa que no sucede cuando uso otro calzado).
