Reebok Women's Princess Sneaker

Comment

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.

Im in the minority in that I like that these are made of synthetic materials. I dont buy leather anymore after seeing how barbaric and unethical the leather industry is. Also, some countries use cat and dog leather and fur in products. Since these shoes are foreign made, you dont know what you will get. I was happy to try the shoes, and ordered a wide size after reading reviews about them being narrow. I have narrow feet but once got stuck with a pair of Keds sneakers I couldnt wear due to the extreme narrow size. So I got the Reeboks and was able to get them on, but they definitely run small. I couldve used a half size up. And wide width on my narrow feet are snug...these do not feel wide at all. The shoes for some reason have a lumpy appearance, like they were made oddly. They are not shaped as nice as the older models. My mother liked the way they looked and wanted a pair until I told her they run small. I think I will keep them for the fall and winter. Not sure they will be comfortable in hot weather. UPDATE: I had to return them. The toe box part of the shoe was too tight. I only wore them for about 10 minutes and I felt the shoes rubbing my toes. I am sure they would cause blisters if worn for a long time.

My mom has worn this style of Reebok for years; its the only shoe that doesnt cause her more pain in her knees & hips. I order the white ones for her in the spring & the black in the fall. I have to order 2 sizes of each due to a medical condition with her feet, so it gets expensive. This last pair of 7W & 5-1/2M are sewn so poorly that theyre narrow & dig into her feet, which at her age she cant have happening. Shes worn them enough to try to break them in that I cant return them & has even tried to cut into the seams on the inside of the shoe so they arent rubbing her raw. The black pairs I ordered last fall were also lessor quality but she was doing less walking in the winter so she just put up with it. Not sure if its a quality control issue or if theyre all made cheaply now, but sadly well have to start searching for another brand/style she can wear.
