Dr. Scholl's Shoes Women's Madison

I do not have any other shoes with flat bottoms like this. I have high arches that ache badly if unsupported. I can’t wear flats at all because of them. I’ve never been able to wear this style of shoe before. I most often fit a size 8 or 7.5 depending on shoe style and manufacturer. After a lot of researching I heard great things about these so I ordered my typical size (8) when they were on sale. The size 8 were surprisingly too loose and too wide. I exchanged them for a half size down. The 7.5 size fits perfect! At first I wasn’t used to the style and shape of the toe box but it wasn’t uncomfortable or painful - I’m just used to sneakers with larger toe boxes. My toes adjusted pretty quickly after several wears. I love these shoes! The support is better than I could’ve imagined! I work as an elementary educator with concrete/hard tile floors and am on my feet nearly all day long. These shoes give my all the support my arches and back need. Plus they are more professional looking than my nice tennis shoes. I can dress them up or down with ease and this black style looks cute (for me) with low, ankle, or longer socks. I’ve been looking for shoes like this for years and just figured I’d never be able to find a pair that worked for me. Not the case anymore! I’ve been wearing them almost daily for nearly 4 months now. These have become my daily shoes instead of my nice sneakers. They haven’t torn on the sides or bottom, there’s been no weird stretching out, no scratches on the top or sides (and I’m rough on shoes), no blisters or rubbing at all and the support has stayed! I love the padding on the heel and ankle of this shoe. My feet don’t feel sore after taking these off even after a long day. Even during some 12+ hour days of teaching followed by errands and church in the evenings afterward, the support is there and keeps me on my feet. So far I’ve been able to wear these all week long teaching and during the weekend without the comfort or support fading. I’m asking for another pair in a different color for Christmas! Hoping a different color/fabric will still feel and hold up the same way. If you’ve struggled to find this style of shoe due to high arches or other support/comfort problems- these might be worth a try for you. I recommend purchasing when on sale if it’s hard for you to pull the spending trigger on shoes more than $25 or so (like it is for me). For how popular these shoes are, $50.00 seems like a fantastic deal! Here’s to happy, healthy, supported feet 👣.

After buying two cheap variations of these shoes using Amazon Lens on a picture from one of my Pinterest boards, I finally got a decent hit. These shoes rock, be aware they are not intended to be worn with thicker socks, and to size up accordingly if you’re going to wear them in the colder months. Had to return the first pair because of a manufacturing defect, but Amazon quickly rectified this and sent me a replacement pair. They are very comfortable and I receive many complements on them. I don’t normally wear animal print anything, but make an exception for some snake prints, this one is warm, almost a soft pink and warm tan. Keep that in mind when you’re looking to pair them with clothes, it’s not *as* neutral as I’d have hoped. I pair them with my wool jacket in the fall, with a pair of black cigarette trousers and a pop of solid color in whatever sock I’m wearing paired with a neutral modern fit top. Comfort and style is my go-to these days, and I’ve learned that in a business casual office, you can basically get away with wearing cozy clothes if they’re attractive and presently neatly enough. Words to live by. I’ve already passed alone the link to these shoes to half a dozen people and they’re always pleased (and surprised) to hear they’re Doctor Scholl’s. 9/10, taking a point away because they appear to be designed not to be worn with socks or with very thin ones which might be a problem on longer treks. >>I want to be very clear, since it’s mentioned on the next review screen, these are not shoes to work out in. They are a walking shoe at best, a fashion shoe at worst. Keep that in mind.

This would be 5 stars if it weren’t for my experience with my 2nd purchase. I originally purchased the gray cloud microfiber version of this shoe and loved them. ImThey are so comfortable, had great arch support, and I wore them everywhere. I was obsessed with the style and comfort. After 2 years I decided to buy a new pair because mine was getting worn out. Purchased the oyster microfiber to switch up the color. This color fit completely different. They were not comfortable, the support wasn’t there, and the size was off (even though I got the same size as my first pair). After wearing them for a few hours I decided a return was in order. It wasn’t what I was expecting and my worn out shoes I’d been wearing for 2 years were 10x more comfortable. Returned the oyster microfiber option and went back to the tried and true - gray cloud microfiber. Happy to report that the gray matched my high expectations. They match the comfort of my original shoe! I have no clue why 2 different colors of what is supposedly the same shoe would feel so different. But I have both colors right now because I haven’t returned the oyster color yet and when I put one shoe on each foot they feel like 2 completely different shoes. A long way of saying “get the gray cloud microfiber and you’ll be super happy!”

I’ve bought 3 pairs now. My first has lasted several years with occasional wear. They’re comfortable and fit well. A fit similar to Vans but more professional looking. However, be aware the oyster is a true light gray, and the woodsmoke is a dark brown. The pictures are not entirely accurate representation of the color

First try - very impressed! The shoes looked great and I was happy they were made from recycled materials (yay, the environment!). The sole felt great also for my plantar fasciitis. The toe box felt a little snug but I felt not enough to be a problem. Second spin- I wore them to the office as business casual. I had no complaints and still happy with my purchase. They felt snug but still comfortable. 3rd wear - I went shopping and walked and stood in them off and on for about 6 hours. My feet were screaming in the front toe box. I could hardly wait to get home and take them off. I may buy again but maybe I will try wide? I usually wear a normal size 8.

Very nice and comfortable to wear.

Very comfortable. I just received my second pair..I love these shoes. I have washed them in the washer several times and they come out like new. They last a long time (have had 2 yrs)for the money..my little toe was wearing thin so decided I needed another pair.. hard to give up the old pair...keep for chores around the house.

First pair got lost in the mail so they arrived later than needed for work. This pair is much larger than my other pair of slip ons from Dr Shcolls. They don't stay in my heel. I would recommend sizing down maybe a half size. They are nice and wide in the toe box but too long. Update: these started coming apart after 4 wears. Do not purchase these.

Ordered size 10w, it was a tad too short so I had to exchange for an 11w. (10.5w would have been perfect) Exchange was quick and easy

Love these! Really comfy and great quality, have lasted well and I have washed them 3 times so far. Would buy again

Comfy shoes that fit my orthodics but the top material has unsightly pills. I mean what does the top of a shoe even rub against? Pant legs? Weird.

Ho ordinato un 37eu e mi son ritrovata un 36.5 che ovviamente è risultato stretto! Quindi non posso neppure pronunciarmi su comodità o altro xchè stringono da morire. Farò il reso xó che barba, già ho dovuto aspettare 5gg per averle.
