5.0 out of 5 stars They make me forget I have "diabetic" feet
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017
Size: 9.5Color: White and BlueVerified Purchase
This is the third or fourth pair of these shoes that I've bought. There are reasons that I come back to them and those are:

1) Although they are not "stylish", they keep me pain-free. I am able to remove the innersole and insert my own orthodics.
2) The box is wide enough so that my toes are not cramped, especially since I do a lot of walking for exercise.
3) They are heavy compared to shoes that are made of mesh material but they are sturdy and hold their shape until I am ready for a new pair and they keep my ankles/feet stable for trail walking,

If you're looking for a stylish diabetic shoe that you use with your daytime or evening wear, this isn't it. You will always look like you're wearing "mukluks". I haven't found many shoes that allow me to take the insoles out to use my own orthodics so I'm willing to use these for the large part of my walking.

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020

Need shoe for arch supports. This fits the need. The shoe is wider than I needed and seems to get loose very easy. My supports are not thick so the shoe is deeper than I needed. Overall for the price I would have liked a better fit. Buying online is difficult. I could have sent these back but felt like I needed to give them a chance. I would buy something else next time around. They have held up well, but the laces are needing to be pulled tighter and tighter with wear.

This sneaker is perfect for inserts for plantar fasciitis. Not many shoes are good for the inserts, but this one has plenty of room. Be sure to order your size and not bigger to allow room for insert.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quality control????
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
Size: 8.5 WideColor: White and BlueVerified Purchase
I have some very problematic issues with various companies and their shoes. These particular shoes are a clear example. I wear custom orthotics and finding shoes that fit is more than challenging. The right shoe fit comfortably and well and I began to hope I had finally found a new one after four years with only one pair wearable shoes. The left one felt totally different as if two different sizes were mixed in the box. Simply putting it on and standing up my foot screamed in pain. The really sad part is my only pair of shoes I can wear is from the same company.

These shoes are perfect in every way. From the second I started putting the first shoe on I could tell they were going to meet all my expectations, and they have! They fit magnificently, with the right arch support, great tie space, and perfect width. I have to add an orthopedic lift to the heel, and that worked out well also. I just love these shoes. Best ones i’ve Ever bought!

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable very wide fit
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2019
Size: 8Color: White and BlueVerified Purchase
This is a comfortable shoe and very wide & well padded, I bough a size 8 US or 6 UK. With the insole, which was necessary for comfort. I’m normally a size smaller & it fits a little big.
I had to use the standard laces as it was difficult to tighten them up up enough for Walking outside.
For me they are brilliant when I spend hours cooking a special meal for friends & family which I do a lot.
I have never been great at standing for long periods as I’m Hyper mobile but these really help.
Happy feet at the hob!
