Hawkwell Women's Slip On Lightweight Slip Resistant Comfort Nursing Shoes

initial review:so i bought these due to uniform changes in our job. im used to wearing nikes or my medical wear crocs (no holes, strap style) for work bc theyre water proof and puncture resistant. i was hesitant due to the reviews but heres what ive noted: comes with heel cushion that came in handy bc the heel is low (think ankle socks) and my foot would otherwise slip in and out and cause rubbing; very cushioned when walking, you almost "bounce" and it absorbs the impact; kind of had to "kick/heel/kick" for it to feel snug, the front was too tight but now its "looser" and not rubbing as much; i have to get used to the height on them bc im used to my vans; feet are NOT sweaty yet, which i had an issue with when wearing my "nurse" crocs even with the wide toe option so thats nice. theyre not the prettiest but theyre going to get the job done. and for the price point i think its worth it in comparison to the shoes i was going to buy which were $140.

Show are very comfortable and light weight. True to size and easy to clean. Shows fit great and don’t make your feet hurt

Decent pair of shoes. I normally wear a size 9 and my feet are on the wide side. Length wise good fit, but a bit snug width wise. Also the lip hits the top of my arch so not as comfortable. The base feel a little narrow which make the footing a little insecure if you have poor ankles. Style is nice the material is soft and the shoe is super lightweight.Update - I wanted to acknowledge this company for their excellent customer service. They contacted on my review comments above and expressed their appreciation for my purchase and review. I felt they were truly interested in the feedback an will look into some changes. Thank you!

I LOVE these shoes. I wear these for volunteer work that requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time. I have a wide forefoot and sometimes having trouble finding shoes that feel good when worn for a long time. My feet always feel great in these. My first pair of these lasted two and a half years. They are still comfortable. The upper was just showing a little cracking so I bought a new pair. They are a fantastic value for the price as well.

These shoes hurt my feet, but it's important to note that I have a high instep, which inherently creates an issue with achy tendons in the tops of my feet. This is a reason I was looking to buy a work shoe without laces (as the laces put unwanted pressure on those tendons--as does an unstable stride).At first sight, they look very nice... And the first try-on felt good and comfortable. However! During the first eight hour shift I realized these are NOT suitable as a work shoe! If you need any, and I do mean ANY kind of support from your work shoe, don't look for it in these shoes. They do offer a soft step, but lack support.Within the first hour I noticed they were too loose, allowing my feet to slide around inside them (I'm normally a size 9-1/2--but I bought these in size 9, as recommended here). The heels slipped on and off when I walked, which might not bother some people, as many nurses wear clog-type shoes that tend to do the same thing, but I was never able to wear those type shoes because they place too much strain on my feet by way of trying to manually secure my steps. I also think the soles are too soft. I'll try to explain.The material used for the soles of the shoe are not ideal in my opinion because it's too spongy/squashy for reaching a secure footing in a stride. It leaves your step very sloppy, which places great strain on your feet, ankles, and legs to compensate in trying to gain that security. I just hope this review can keep others from the disappointment of purchasing new work shoes that end up hurting their feet.UPDATE:I've been wearing these shoes to work off-and-on now for a couple weeks and feel I should add to this review what I've learned. First, I changed my star rating from two stars to three, and this is why: I discovered that changing out the insoles to ones I purchased separately and I already knew work well for me makes a significant difference in the comfort and stability of these shoes, and my heels don't slide in and out of them the way they did before this insole change. It does still annoy me that I had to make this change in order to make these shoes work for me. Second, I didn't add more than a single star to my updated rating because I stand by my original observation about the lack of stability given the too soft an outsole. I feel a firmer, more solid outsole would offer a more secure footing, thus a more comfortable stride. So, I will wear these shoes to work for now, and maybe I'll buy another pair after these wear out, as the price is not bad, and changing the insoles is easy. I'm just not sure yet. Time will tell.

I had high hopes for these nursing shoes, but unfortunately, they were a huge letdown. I wore them for the first time during a 9-hour shift, and it’ll also be the last time I wear them. My feet were incredibly sore by the end of the day. While they did come with blister pads for the heels (which I appreciated), the top of the shoe dug into my foot and caused pain—there was no padding or protection there. The material is stiff and unforgiving, and the insoles aren’t comfortable enough for long periods of standing or walking. I expected much better from a shoe marketed for nursing and long shifts. Definitely wouldn’t recommend these if you’re on your feet all day.

I am a server and needed some very comfortable nonslip shoes. I used to swear by Skechers, but I go through them so quickly (like 1 pair every 3 months) and these were half the price, so I figured as long as they last a few months, it was a better deal.I wore them for the first time last night, and while there was some mild discomfort right at the end of my shift (which, to be fair, is expected for the first few days of breaking in new shoes), my feet were so thankful! They held up really well to our wet, slippery floors in the back of the house, and I love that they're made of synthetic leather rather than mesh - that makes it a lot easier to keep them clean!I'm usually a size 9, and that's what I ordered. A lot of the reviews said they run a little large, but that wasn't the case for me. They were a tad snug when I first put them on, but within 20 minutes that went away. I have the perfect amount of wiggle room in them.Overall, for the price these are a steal! Super comfortable, true to size, and excellent for people who are on their feet for hours at a time, and need some protection from slippery/wet work surfaces.
