Dr. Scholl'sShoes Women's Dynamo Work ShoeLeather Working Group

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 used to be the most comfortable shoes. I have bought a new pair every 1 - 1 1/2 years for the past 8-9 years. They were perfect from the first wear to the last, with no break-in time needed. I would even wear them on long walks with no problem. The last pair I received is awful. They are very hard, no cushion and barely bend when you walk. My feet hurt so much after wearing them. I really hope I just received an off pair and that Scholl's hasn't completely changed their product. Super disappointed.

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.

For reference I’m a 7.5 wide (which is what I got), and I work in healthcare.It fits really well, the only “but” is the upper heel is pretty tight. Nothing that can’t be broken in, it’s just in more of a V shape so it pushes in. I’m just wearing a bandaid on my ankle (well, gauze and tegaderm) to break them in. The top, where the opening is, isn’t too tight but it’s snug, so if you have larger/taller feet I’d say go up 1/2 a size or they may be too snug there. Everything else is awesome/comfy and definitely worth the buy.Also, they don’t make your feet sweat.I’ve only had them for a short time so I may come back to update if they fall apart lol But so far so good!

Item returned. Was definitely disappointed. Tried them out for a whole week and just wasn’t happy.Have owned many Dr. Scholl’s products and this is the only one that didn’t work for me. The shoes themselves are not uncomfortable..they were decently wearable at first but the problem is after an entire 9 hour work shift. And no, it’s not normal for me to be painful because of being on my feet all day. I’m used to it. For them being “work shoes”, this is the first time they actually caused more pain just by wearing them. I don’t necessarily think that breaking them will solve it because I buy new shoes all the time and I’ve never had such horrible leg and foot cramping by the end of the day from new shoes. My suspicion is that the soles are rock hard and even with the insole they are just rough on your legs and feet. Maybe you can get used to them overtime, but I don’t have the time to be in horrible pain every night waiting.

These are so comfortable, I can wear them for a 12-hour shift and my feet don't hurt! They do stretch out after a while, but I loved them so much I bought a smaller size. They've gotten me through school, bedside nursing, and they're also great for interviews or just everyday!

-->If you like you feet, don't make them wear these. These aren't comfortable for any actual work on your feet. I work in a restaurant, so I'm rarely stopping or sitting. They are stylish, non-slip, & durable. But after wearing them for the 4th time(another 7+hr shift), I threw them out the window on the the way home.
