A good value and a good shoe!
I'm getting ready to embark on a European vacation and so I needed walking shoes; I thought these combined cuteness with comfort giving me an option other than regular tennis shoes. First impression: Oh my gawd, they're so light! Yup, they really are. 2nd impression: If they're so light will they be sturdy enough for all day walking? And yup, they really are that too! I wore them for a couple of hours a for a couple of days when they first arrived to start breaking them in - and honestly, they didn't really need it....they were ready to go. Then this past weekend I decided to give them the real test and I wore them all day as I ran errands.....I left my house at noon and returned at 7:00pm, among my many travels around town I ended up at the local mall and walked the length of it twice! By the time I got home my feet were NOT killing me. They were tired, because I was on them all day, but I had no blisters, and they were not in pain. AND, I wore them as is, no socks, just foot on shoe :-) . Now, my reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because there is a bit of wiggle room in them. I'm a 12M/regular and they fit a little bit big, not lengthwise or width wise, but depthwise if that makes sense. It's not horrible, and I can wear these without socks and have no problem (like I did this last weekend, though my tootsies did get a little sweaty), but I have chosen instead to wear low/no-show socks and also insert a Dr. Scholls comfort insole to take up the extra slack - and this combination, is great! I am happy I got them and touring around Barcelona will be a breeze because I won't have to worry about my feet hurting. As for arch support? It's not superior, it's decent, but I don't think I'm a person who really needs a lot so it's not something I readily noticed.

Pleasantly Surprised
I got these for my elderly grandma who has swelling in her feet,so she needs a good sturdy shoe that doesnt hurt when her feet swell.She said it felt like she was walking on clouds,Good arch support,light airy,good sturdy soles and most importantly easy to get on and off without too much bending or adjusting straps or laces.Not only practical,but really cute.I will be ordering these again in different colors.These were way better than I expected. UPDATE !!!Upon further wearing later in the day her swelling increased and the top of the shoe was tight and causing pain.I got an extra wide which is her normal size,so now I need to send them back and get extra extra wide.This is a problem that runs in my family where the top of our feet run larger or a high instep.So I wouldnt say this is a problem with the shoe itself it is more a regular occurrence with shoes,still highly recommended.NEW UPDATE!!!! exchanged fpr wider width,got them in about 2 or 3 days,these fit perfect with just enough extra room to allow for swelling without pinching.Will be buying these again.

Not the best Propet
I LOVE Propet shoes!!! I have two pair of the older model of this with the X cross over instead of the V. I love my older model! When this came out I couldn't wait to order it! The strap is WAY too short and comes up on the foot way too high. It cuts into my foot and within an hour had cut off all circulation. I will be putting an auxiliary strap on it because I do still love the look but unless you're willing to "fix" the strap I can't recommend this.

Good fit, comfortable - treads pick up mud and stones, though
I bought the black ones, in 8.5N. They fit well and were very comfortable right out of the box.One problem: the tread on them is quite deep. While this is probably good for some people, since it probably improves traction, it is a serious problem for me. We have a crushed rock driveway, and live in the country, where taking a walk means walking over rocks and mud. These shoes pick up everything. If I don't take them off when I enter the house, they leave a trail of dried mud and small stones on my floors.In appearance, they're okay. The textured pattern turned out to be fussier and more visible than I'd hoped - would have preferred something simpler like the Easy Spirit plain-fabric single-elastic-strap canvas Mary Janes I was trying to replace.They do seem to fit about as well as Easy Spriits, and I have trouble finding shoes that fit my narrow feet comfortably. Do not regret my decision to buy these, and the price was right.

Cute casual shoe, minimal support
Comfy shoes, a bit big in the toe box but having wide feet, I'm okay with that. The support from these is just slightly better than a pair of flip flops: it's sturdy but flexible. Good for a pair of slip ons, but not very supportive. Cute and great fit nonetheless.

Way too narrow to be called 4E. Liars!
I am incredibly disappointed. I have been sized as a 8 4E at a shoe store and have New Ballance in that size that fit perfectly. I have an older pair of Propet which fit great and I've worn them for two years. I was so excited to find these cute blue shoes in my size in this brand but they are WAY TOO NARROW! I wore them for a few minutes and my pinky toe went numb. It's impossible to find shoes for wide feet, I'm so sad that I can't count on this brand anymore. I will be returning these, and I guess living in men's flip-flops for the rest of my life.

Surprisingly Comfortable, Lousy Sole Material!
I am pleasantly surprised. These shoes seem to have no support but are comfortable. The heal fabric rolls in, I thought I wouldn't like that, but it doesn't bother me. I have very wide feet (4E plus) and wanted 'whole' shoes. I wear Birkenstock Arizona sandals 365 days a year and wanted shoes with a back. I've had a few friends step out of their shoes of late, two broke bones and one wasn't nearly as lucky. I've crossed over into old and wanted shoes with a back. However, I've worn them twice to the market and there is significant wear on the soles. Wear I wouldn't expect to see in a couple of months. So I'm bummed. I had high hope for these Mary Jane's.

Amazing Shoes
I saw these shoes about a yr ago in a shoe magazine and instantly loved them. Since Amazon offered the best deal, I finally decided to order a pair in red and besides being great looking they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I'm thinking now about getting a pair in black and another in white. Thanks Amazon

Still awaiting refund - too small.
I am still awaiting a refund. They came from US Amazon and I had to send them back there. Royal Mail tracker said they had been delivered to the US address on 12 February 2020. Before the corona took hold in US. I am still awaiting an acknowledgement.Size too small. I ordered UK size 8, but when delivered it was a US10. UK size 8 is usually a US 11. Shame as would definitely have give 5 stars as were very good quality comfy looking shoes. I had to send them back all the way to US. Hadn’t realised that’s where they were delivered from..

Buy one size smaller than you usually would
This is a very light, easy to put on show, generous in width and walking comfort. It is only for going to a show, a function, not a shoe for in the garden, but would make an around the the house shoe. This is the type of shoe, that makes walking easiest after leg surgery, the lightness of it, is valuable. It has ample support, and is a summer shoe over any other season.

Nice, comfortable casual shoes
These casual shoes look good, and fit well. They are very comfortable, from the first time on I could wear them all day, without thinking of my feet at all. My feet are hard to fit because of arthritis damage and bunions, but the XW fit very well, and the Velcro strap ensured they stayed on and did not slip on the heel. I am thinking of ordering a second pair in a different colour. It did take about six weeks for these shoes to arrive, but the wait was worth it.

Disappointed
More and more I'm becoming disappointed with Propet footwear.I liked to wear it because it helped keep me stable while I walked.These shoes are "TravelActiv" which have always, until now, given me the best suppport.I used to only wear Propet footwear.This will be the last time.The shoes look nice but the quality is not there.These shoes don't make walking easier at all.

Comfortable and Stylish
I wore these shoes on holiday for 10 days and found them to be comfortable and supportive. I have flat feet and a bunion so finding comfortable, stylish shoes is a real challenge. I sprayed them with waterproofing but during a heavy rain, my feet got wet so be aware, but overall, I am happy bought these shoes.
