Reebok Women's Princess Sneaker

Comment

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.

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.
