Reebok Women's Princess Sneaker

Comment

I have been disappointed by very few products that i have ordered from Amazon. If everything were this upsetting, I would not have ordered so many items. However I don’t blame Amazon. It’s Reebok I am upset with. I have worn ONLY Princess and Classic Leather for longer than I can remember. They have been the only shoe styles that have been comfortable for my aching feet. I have always worn 7 1/2 and 7 1/2 wide D. Since they were leather, they fit wonderfully. The cut has been perfect and they have been very comfortable from the time I first put them on. Any snug areas, as around my bunions, stretched to fit quickly. They have never hurt, and new Reebok’s always made me happy. when I saw they were available through Amazon, I quickly ordered a pair of each, intending to buy 4 more pair soon. Never would have thought they are not the Reebok’s I have grown to be so attached to. They are not leather, but man-made non- flexible material cut to a size unknown to me. They are now at a shoe repair shop being stretched for a week with a hopeful change in toe box width so they are wearable. For $8 a pair, they “ might” be acceptable.. Since they were so painful on first try, they have to be better. I am near tears and and am afraid I will need to make another round at the shoe stores to hunt for a different brand and style. If I have any luck, I will update. PS I have ordered medical tape to place on all the painful areas for when I get my shoes back in a week.

I have loved these exact shoes for more than 20 years! They are still just as awesome as when I first discovered them, way back when. A few years ago when I didn’t have a current pair, I was a bit depressed over the discovery that they apparently were not made from the same soft leather of years gone by. But I have found that whatever they are made of now is even better. I assume it is synthetic of some kind. But I will say this, I’ve been using this new pair for 2 months now, and not being the least bit careful, doing household chores indoors and out, and they have not suffered even a scratch! The old soft leather would never have survived this treatment in good shape. At the same time, the material is soft enough, flexible and very comfortable. I can really find nothing to criticize about the way they are now being made. They seem to look and feel the same as ever, good support but without all the overstuffing of a lot of athletic shoes nowadays. Also I like that they resist slipping on slippery flooring. That is important to me. As far as I can tell, they run true to size, in that I have worn an 8 forever and they still fit perfect. All this and at such a reasonable price for sneakers, too! We are just lucky that at least one “good oldie” is still available and still good. Have no fear, get some.

I ordered this shoe prior to actually reading the reviews. Ive purchased more brands of athletic-type shoes enough to figure a medium width wouldve been a safe bet...NOT SO! This shoe runs extremely narrow! Upon the suggestion of getting a large width by a friend, out of curiosity I went to a department store and to my amazement, a "wide" in my size was still just a teeny tiny snug! That said, I never completed my purchase through Amazon, as said department store had one in my size, and they were on sale for $13 less than what Amazon had them for... ( I still needed it by day of delivery, the customer service personnel were MOST accommodating to my situation...KUDOS! ) as for the "pleather"...yes, Id be MOST disappointed if these were NOT the first time Id owned a pair, and they were glove soft leather all the other times...however, these are still wonderful feeling shoes for the cost, they do not have a heel that irritates a pre-existing low back injury that doesnt allow me to wear much more than Birkenstocks. I needed a black, closed-toed no-nonsense shoe. For those who need extra support, I suggest purchasing those arch inserts, or other such orthotics, because its true, theyres no real support. The heel cup is indeed supportive, and padded very nicely. I just wore them for nearly 6 hours on my feet, straight from the box, no complaints what so ever! The plastic crocs that Id been wearing were not only painful, but the little nubs were eating holes in my good socks!! These shoes are indeed a welcome change, indeed. I truly hope this review helps, as yes, they do run very narrow, but length of shoe seems typical. Enjoy!

I order the size of shoe, not only that I wear, but that I have always worn in Reeboks. I don’t know if they are making the shoes different or what but the shoes were 1/2 inch or more too long for my foot. I knew when I saw them before I even tried them on they were too big. I also ordered W (wide) and the shoe was very narrow. There was no size on the actual shoe just on the box. Really disappointed.

These shoes are cute & well made. They definitely have the classic Reebok look about them. Theyre nice & comfy, too. The pale pink color is accurate to the description & its just want I wanted. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because the shoes are just a little tight. I dont think I can wear even thin socks with them. I wear a size 5 and normally, it fits perfectly in 99% of the shoes I buy. This one is just a little tight, not sure its even a half size smaller than normal. It might stretch out over time.
