Detailed Review
The Propét Men's Propet Ultra Athletic Shoes excel in providing support and comfort during rigorous activities. The combination of the X25™ open cell foam and the lightweight EVA midsole means that not only do these shoes cushion your feet well, but they also offer great responsiveness, which is essential for high-impact sports. The addition of an EVA spacer allows you to adjust the fit to suit your personal preference, ensuring your foot feels secure without being constricted.

It is very hard finding my shoe size 18 w, So when I found this shoe with my size and with a great price, I had to buy it, these shoes are Soo comfortable and looks good
They are comfortable. I love the color.
left shoe heel a quarter inch higher than rightright shoe a quarter inch longer than left, mostly at toe boxbizarre non matching pair did not permit rating of actual shoe effectiveness
Not for walking on concrete all day. After 2 weeks I had to stop wearing them. The one star 🌟 is for the fit.
I haven’t had them long, so I can’t attest to the long term wear and tear, but these shoes kept my back and legs from being as tired and achy. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized I was wearing my new shoes, and that they made a huge difference that day. I’ll update this if they wear out quicker than I think they should. I’m the meantime, happy walking and standing for long periods of time.
I really liked the black leather version as a walking shoe. I ordered the same size I do for most shoes, which is a half to one size larger than my foot measures. It turned out to be a half size too large. The shoe is pretty true to size, but so many other brands have trained me to order big. When I went to order the right size, the only option available was the black/blue mesh upper version. The mesh was a little lighter and much more breathable, but each version would have a use in my closet if I kept them both.The black leather version would be better for me if the sole were black as well. It would be a much better look if that huge amount of white didn't break up the black vibe. The outsole of these shoes is on the firm side, so I wouldn't recommend them for any kind of running. The insole is removable/replaceable if you need an orthotic, and so you can replace it down the road if the rest of the shoe lasts. The inner sole has enough cushion to support walking, and the firm outsole is a stable platform. The shoe sits a bit higher than most running/walking shoes and I do feel taller wearing them.My other criticism for the black leather version was the lace choice. The laces are very slick and round, making it harder for them to hold knots. The mesh upper version came with a more traditional athletic shoe lace. Ultimately, laces can be replaced for small money and effort, which is what I would have done if the black ones had fit.I sent these back because they were a half size too large and would have ordered the right size if they were in stock. When I got the other style in the right size, I went out for a 4.5 mile walk to break them in with no comfort issues. I can't speak to how they will wear over time, but they look great right now.
