Review on Propet Women's Cronus Orthopedic Sneaker - Ultimate Comfort and Style by Christine Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An excellent choice in a tough category.

Bought for my elderly mother (she's in her 90's) who said she always had "terrible legs". And like all earthly things, those legs got worse with age. It got to the point where the only shoe-like items she could handle were backless house slippers (no support) or cheap tennis shoes with the parts cut out. help inflamed, swollen areas of the foot. One day she handed me one of those advertisements that you find in many savings books, coupon books, or candy catalogs aimed at the elderly. It was a pair of plush slippers whose main "comfort for sore feet" claim was an adjustable upper with Velcro and some faux fur. All this for just $9.99! So I spent 5 minutes researching the mail order market and got a non-BBB review and dozens of angry reviews from people who felt cheated as to whether the product actually arrived (rarely) or not (mostly). A few more highlights of the keyword search Alt. Painful. Legs. took me to Propét. The order through Revain arrived on time as always or better yet. And I braced myself for a possible dissatisfied reaction from my mother (since she's pretty picky about gifts and, well, she doesn't have faux fur on her top). She's worn it every day since then, hailing the shoe and its maker as the best since the New Deal. 8 times 8-1-2 so I ordered 9 and they fit perfectly]. Adjustable upper and heel closures allow users or caregivers to easily slip them on and off and can also be used to fine-tune the fit. While fashion wasn't a priority in this purchase, the shoes aren't that ugly. and/or the "orthopedic" look I assumed. On the other hand. They look like quality moccasins for everyday wear, tasteful and simple. I bought her a pair of brown (sandy?) pairs and will probably pair them with a black pair just to add to her wardrobe options. This is a wonderful product.
