Dr. Scholl'sShoes Women's Dynamo Work Shoe

I've always heard the name Dr. Scholl's and have used its foot care products. But this was the first time buying a pair of Dr. Scholl's shoes. This is a great work shoe. Very comfortable but a little loose on heel (slips a bit while walking) but what a huge improvement over Soft Walk brand. The interesting thing is, I'm not used to wearing a shoe with such excellent arch support. I didn't know what I was missing. Today when I took them off at the end of day while standing on a wood floor, my feet felt funny, like they instantly missed the arch support. I think this is what they've been needing for years.

These shoes were terrible!! I expected a comfortable shoe, but they were excruciatingly painful. These shoes have absolutely no cushioning built into the shoe. The insoles were poorly constructed; they were flat and looked "unfinished" with a Dr. Scholl's insert stuffed on top. When you take out the insert, you are left with a rock-hard surface with no arch support. The outsoles were very hard, and non-giving--super hard on my feet. They seem very sturdy, but after two days of standing in them for work, I'm giving up on them. A co-worker asked me if I had injured my feet because of how I was limping in them. They were so painful that I couldn't walk with a normal stride. Because of the insert, they fit very tightly and left barely any wiggle room for my toes. They should be ashamed of themselves for making this shoe. If I was sitting in a chair all day, they would probably be fine, but I am standing on my feet the entire shift. I regret buying them on-line; I will never buy shoes again without trying them on first. I wish I could return them, but I already threw away the packaging, and now I'm stuck with them.

I chose “fits as expected” when reviewing. I can’t say it enough give the shoes a couple days as you’re wearing them in ;) it takes wearing them in to get the true “toe box”, “width”, “arch support”, true fit. These shoes have elastic on the sides to help with the breaking in process. I’ll show you in the photos.Most of the other reviews on these shoes in particular were “runs small”. Here’s why...I’m a 9 1/2, on my feet usually 8-12 hours a day. When I read the reviews “smaller than expected” (58% at the time) “runs small” or “too tight”, “order up one size”, I decided to go with a 9 1/2 WIDE width. First off I would like to say , I have wore many of these types of shoes, 25+ years in the medical field, and yes they usually do run small. They usually run “smaller than expected”, or “Tight through the toes“, or “short on the heels”.My experience with these 9 1/2 Dr. Scholl’s wide, when I first put them on I thought wow these feel really good, super nice cushioning on the inside, not too high on the heel cord (tendinitis). These types of shoes, usually run narrow through the front, and tight through the top of the foot, which usually causes rubbing on the inside of the shoe, towards the big toe and the small toe, you know this if you’ve ever wore these type of shoes, but I did not experience this with these Dr. Scholl’s. First, I thought it was because they were a “wide“, but it was not. You have to put them on and break them in around the house for a day or two.I say all this to say I should’ve went with a solid 9 1/2 fits as expected, and not have got the “wide” based on reviews. People who are true half sizes, they already know what I’m talking about, I’m not a size 9 and I’m not a size 10. When you are a 9 1/2 some shoes you will be able to wear either in a nine wide or a ten depending on how they are made, but not usually. After two days in the shoes I was going to send them back because I felt like they were too big, too wide (my foot was slipping in them as I wore them in) , and get the true 9 1/2. I’ve chose to keep them with winter coming because I will be wearing thicker, “smart wool” socks with them or thicker compression socks with them, and will probably have them worn out by spring of the year :) pics attached! Amazing tread on the bottom of these shoes!!! They will pick stuff up off the carpet haha. I’m up and down a metal ramp all day, absolutely no sliding, the best tread I’ve ever experienced!!But after this review, I should definitely receive a true size 9 1/2 for free for spring of the year lol joking!#Proud#essential.health.care.worker.25+yrs.#strong💪🏻Update: I’m 6 weeks in wearing these shoes everyday 8-12 hours, 5-6 days a week. The shoes are starting to smell (I wear compression socks with them every day). The insoles are beginning to wear a little bit, on the side of the heels, but mostly towards the ball of the feet, from previous review they are just a little big. One shoe does feel more stretched out than the other. The tread is still absolutely amazing! Will post another a pic.

I know this is a name brand pair of shoes but they did not have a soft cushion insole like Clark’s Cloud steppers does

Unlike most reviews, I had no issues with the tight heel. I had little to no blistering in these shoes, on any part of my foot. However, my feet have never hurt more. I wore these to work in a restaurant (8-15 hour shifts), and the balls of my feet and my heels ached after 3 hours every time I wore them. It felt like I was just walking on 2x4's the way I couldn't walk. I tried wearing them for 3 weeks (4-5 shifts a week) to hopefully get past the break-in period (they didn't break in). I then tried getting the Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts and it wasn't much better. I'm really sad because these shoes are such great quality, but they do not work with my feet AT ALL, to the point where it would hurt to walk barefoot for the next 2-3 days after wearing those shoes.

I love clogs in general. This is my second pair of these, after the first pair lasted several years and were damaged in a flash flood. I'd lucked into the first pair at DSW and last box on the shelf - just my (big - 10) size! The price was right and black goes with everything so I bought them for much less than other 'high end' brands I've had like Dansk or Ecco. They became a fast favorite and found them comparable to higher priced brands and half the price or less. The second pair is living up to the first. I can wear them with jeans or even get by with wearing them to the office (with black trousers). They are comfortable, fit just right, and are of good quality. If they are anything like my first pair, they will have great durability and last a long time. I highly recommend and would buy again.

I have wide flat feet so I already know to buy wide. If these are wide I’m curious to see the regular width shoes. Very snug, it’s gonna be so much fun trying to put them on at 5am. I’ll see if I can break them in for a few days if not they are getting returned and I’ll keep shopping! The foot pain is real. And they are so plain!!!

A great shoe glad I found them will buy again

Soy de pie delgado y generalmente no tengo problemas con zapatos. Estos los pedí porque necesitaba unos cómodos para usar con un juanete que me salió. De tamaño están bien, de la parte de arriba me lastimaron, no pude usarlos ni 10 minutos. Los voy a regresar, la calidad de los zapatos se ve bien. Si no hubieran estado tan apretados, me los hubiera quedado

I have to walk a lot for my work but my feet are sensitive. With these... no pain, no blister.Thanks

Quality.

En mi trabajo tenía que estar parada como 6 horas seguidas. Cuando comencé tenía unos flexi de piso, y fue horrible. Compré estos zapatos y me ayudaron muchísimo. Eventualmente si me dolían los pies, pero muchismo menos, me ayudaron mucho, la suela es muy sube. Lo único que no me gusta es el modelo que es demasiado robusto y no se ven tan bonitos

At first I was very sceptical of the shoe .. wore them a few days and almost wanted to return ..give it time !! I’m happy I did they are great shoes I’m on my feet all day As I work in long term care ..maybe try a size bigger but again give time to break shoes in they are leather sturdy shoes .. if your someone who works in facilities with mechanical lifts etc they are great don’t feel your toes getting smashed with the lift etc.
