Original Collection Platform Slide Sandal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always these sandals but over the years the cost was too high for me. I brought them cause the were on sale.

I ordered these seven months ago. After wearing them almost every day around the house and once or twice when out running errands, I thought I'd review them again. I was excited about them at first but they are not the same as the truly original Exersole Sandals. The toe bump in those was more bar shaped and more forward than this one, as in the space in-between the little toes and the ball of the foot, plus the sandals seemed to have more arch support back when. I believe, from research, that that prior footbed is under a patent. If so, Caleres (who bought the shoe division) should get a license to use it. As is, the current 1950's era "toe bump" intrudes upon the ball of the foot and presses against the Plantar Digital Nerve and deadens the feeling in the big toes! "Puts them to sleep" so to speak. I can't imagine that being healthy. The prior design - ones like in the 70's and 80's - were the most comfortable shoes ever, even it they were made out of wood. I will say that this pair's appearance has held up really well. I got the dark brown pair and have noticed that the wood was stained to match. My toes have worn off some of that stain but, of course, this doesn't show when I have them on so no problem. The workmanship is superb. I have absolutely no complaints about them except for that very key part: The toe bump is NOT the same. It's actually harmful to the feet due to the nerve issue. I do feel that my legs are better toned due to me wearing them so much. In short, quit hitting around the bush: Get a license, if needed, to make the proper familiar footbed and you will have a winner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sandals are cute and adjustable. I wouldn’t recommend walking far in them though as they are not very comfortable. They pair well with a summer dress. They are made of wood and leather, so they appear durable. They look stylish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why isn’t this strap long enough along the length of the sandal, don’t you think it would hold the ball of the foot in the sandal better?.

Just love these sandals I thought I would never be able to purchase so thankful I seen . I am so excited to have to have again

LOVE Dr. Scholl's exercise sandals, my Mom had a pair of these in the '70s, the new style with the old school "toe bump" are exactly the same. If you are a kiddo and have never seen or worn these clogs, they will be heavy, wood + leather will be heavier than plastic flip flops. It's called quality. The clogs do make noise when you walk, they are supposed to make noise, it's called originality and that noise is what gives the clogs their charm. Your feet will grip the wood when you walk, that's why they were called exercise sandals, because they exercise your feet. The most comfortable fit you will find and super cute, too! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Scholl's exercise sandals. LOVE these clogs!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are super heavy duty and high quality. They are very sturdy, cute, and are carved nicely to fit your foot comfortably. They definitely are heavy so take a little bit to get used to but they are very nice quality! This product was received for free in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sandals look really good on the foot and feel good while on. They do run small, so I’d recommend sizing up. They are a bit heavy and do clack while walking. Also, one of the side buttons popped off when I first tried them on. Other than that, I like that they are compatible with those who have wide feet as they are adjustable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have an incredibly solid construction and I like the idea of them, but in reality it doesn't quite pan out. The only situation I could see wearing these would be really short dinner dates where you don't plan on standing too much these just aren't going to be a shoe that you can do a lot of walking in. There's also kind of a learning curve of how to walk in them you do have to be very mindful it's almost like stilettos how you have to pay attention but without the benefit of a high heel? Unfortunately I'm not going to keep these in my wardrobe as they just won't work out for me. But if you like this style these definitely are very durable and will last you for years and years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoe fits my foot very well and built to hold up. A bit on the heavy side for me so not a daily wear shoe in my opinion, but quality build and comfortable when on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These definitely run small- I typically wear a 8.5/9 and the 9 in these were quite small. Felt a bit heavy and not the easiest to walk in. Comfortable to just hang around in and easy to slide on though. If I sized up, perhaps they’d be more comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made shoe just like they were when they first came out . I like the new suede option and color . Still great quality . The wood tone was a little darker on my shoe and I like that it was. Fits my foot perfect and is comfortable. Love my new shoes and want to get them in red leather yet.
