Propet Women's One Strap Running Shoes - Lightweight Athletic Sneakers for Jogging, Gym Workouts & Casual Wear

If I want a pair of shoes that fit right and are comfortable I have to buy Propet. They are the only shoes that fit correctly since I have small feet and bunions.From day one, this sneaker is pure comfort! I saw the sale & jumped on these right away & just hoped that they'd fit. The reviews seemed really positive & with my carpal tunnel & arthritis, the idea of a velcro closure was really appealing. Lucky me! There's great arch support & even my wide feet have breathing room in these sneakers. There's padding all around the tongue & heel so there's no place that this feels uncomfortable. I bought the 7 wide shoe & I have enough room to wear socks comfortably & my big toe has space to move but not so much that they feel too big. For walking these are great! There's lots of support & the cushion in the heel means very low impact. I've had knee & back problems & the type of shoe I can wear for any length of time without pain has been a problem. This shoe has been really helpful in extending my ability walk distances. The mesh on the top is also great for keeping your feet cool on warmer days or when you're doing chores around the house.Overall, I'd recommend these to anyone who'd like a simple & comfortable shoe. They also look great!Update: After a few months now, these have been worn quite a lot but still look almost new! I have to pull cat and dog hair from the velcro occasionally but other than that, I still love them. I can see that I'll need to replace the insole with my orthotics though. The original insole was great at first, but it's wearing out quickly.First, I will just tell you the key points so you can decide to buy or not ASAP. Then I will wrap it up in the summary with some fun facts about my feet for comparison sake.Here we go! ?*** Please note I ordered a 10 and a 10.5 and they both did not fit properly.STYLE & COLOR ACCURACY (compared to images): Too wide and material is suede.WIDTH & FIT: Really wide, fits like a wide (which I did not order). The back of the foot, where your ankle is, is very big but the toe area is narrow/tight and too round. The narrowness could be from the excessive amount of padding inside the shoe.SIZING: I can not recommend sizing as this is a very odd cut shoe.UPPER MATERIAL (around shoe): Nice velcro straps. The material has some suede around it (solid area of the shoe) with textile padding that seems very hot/heavy.INSOLE (inside the shoe): Very bulky inside, a lot of padding making your foot feel trapped. Too much padding around your foot.OUTSOLE (bottom of the shoe): The white part of the side and bottom of the shoe is not rubber. It's that plastic like material. There is some rubber on the sole. However, inside the grooves, it seems like its a repeat of that plastic like material. So it has rubber but not a full rubber sole. I would not trust these on a wet or smooth floor to be slip resistant.HEEL & HEIGHT: Adds some height, has a taller heel. I would say 1.5 inches, it mainly feels like padding.ARCH SUPPORT: Yes, it has a lot of padding but not sure this will be comfortable. It almost feels like the padding is around the foot and not in the arch if that makes sense.WEIGHT FEEL: Medium weight, not too heavy or lightweight.RETURNED OR KEPT??? Returned.FINAL THOUGHTS: These shoes are oddly designed for someone with wide but narrow fit. It's hard to explain but the fit is very confusing. I do not like the upper material or the outsole. I honestly can not think of person these would be good for and I'm not trying to be rude. These shoes are hot, not breathable, and definitely not meant for warm days. Sorry for the negative review :(ABOUT MY FEET: I am a true size 10 for the past 15 years of my life. I have "normal" width feet and do not typically require wides. I usually love the brand Skechers, Nikes, Keen, and Apron.QUICK NOTE: I have many reviews of other shoes, as this is 1 of 20 shoe reviews I've done today. Please check those out by clicking on my name to see them all.I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. Happy Shopping! ??✌?These shoes are REALLY comfortable. Wearing a 12-narrow, I have not been impressed with most of the athletic shoes for a narrow foot. Propet has designed a great shoe, lots of cushion and support and the one strap at md-foot works impressively. They look great on the feet and 'breathe' through the top of the shoe. I'll probably be buying a second pair soon.Anytime I get shoes for AFO's I'm looking for something durable, they have to be solid to ensure the AFO is secure and able to do what it needs to. These are light and attractive, but not durable. They'll last maybe 3 months.Cons: The inside sewn-in tag says "100% leather upper"; however there is nothing leather on this shoe lol.. it is only knit fabric and some sort of plastic material. So that's kinda shady. The tongues of the shoes appear to have been cut away from the top part where it should be attached. This causes the tongue to move side-to-side instead of covering your foot. Once the velcro is fastened, the very puffy large tongues stick up in a clownish manner. The fit is weird because of the way the top part and tongue are made.. it feels like part of the shoe is missing. Really odd and hideous shoe. Possibly the ugliest shoe I've ever had on my foot (and most of my shoes are orthopedic shoes). Also it does not come in a box from Propet nor does it have any Propet hangtags on it.Pro: Only positive thing is they were a true wide width. Also thank goodness I can return them.It has been almost a decade and a half since I’ve owned shoes that fit me properly. The availability of shoes in width/length ratios that suit my duck feet is life changing. I was able to get a pair on sale for about 1/3 the current price, and hope to catch another sale because I came back to try and buy another pair as soon as I had tried them on and found them more expensive than I can currently invest in one pair. They have stood up to a couple of weeks with me so far, and seem to be holding up well so far. So comfortable and not hideous like so many ortho shoes I’ve tried on.I am still geeking out about having shoes that fit and telling everyone how amazing that is.Sole doesn't support the movement in a healthy syride.Convenient and good value. Easy return.
