How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood for duck feet
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2013
I was interested because these are the famous Filibuster Shoes. Then I read the reviews, and someone said these hug a narrow heel but still allow lots of room for toes. So I took the advice to go up one size, ordered them, they came today, and I LOVE THEM!!! They don't just hug my heels, they cushiony snuggle them, and my toes have room left over. No heel slippage, and no toe crushage. And they weigh virtually nothing. Even when I hadn't opened the box from Amazon yet, I was amazed at how little the box weighed. And they are ridiculously adorable. I've never liked white sneakers, but I didn't like the weird combinations you could get instead. This is beyond weird to fun. I would call the color "scalding salmon." They look great with my dark indigo jeans.

About size: my feet were measured at Nordstrom this past week, and they said I wear 7 B on my right foot and 6.5 B on my left foot. I have often bought anything from 6.5 to 8, depending on the brand. I ordered these in size 8, and they are perfect.

Thanks, Wendy. Now, tell me, what kind of shoes should I get for my duck feet to wear to the office this winter, hmmm?

UPDATE:
I got these in July, and now it's September. I still love them. They were not stiff when they came, by any means, but they did become more flexible after I had worn them a couple of times. I mostly wear sandals in the summer, but will wear these more now that temperatures have begun to fall. I got them for walking because I do not run, but have surprised myself by jogging since I got these. I walk faster in them, too. There's just something about the way my feet meet the ground that is so encouraging.

1.0 out of 5 starsVery painful shoe
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2013
I had my stride evaluated by a professional team at a shoe store that specializes in running/walking foot gear. These were highly recommended based upon the results of the evaluation.

I am not a consistent runner and mostly I walk at a very brisk pace. I broke these in with a 4 mile walk; short compared to my regular daily distances. I thought I was going to cry because my feet were hurting like crazy. And I started having issues in my left knee that never existed before as well. Nearing the end of the 4 miles, I had to take them off and finish in bare feet. I've never owned a more uncomfortable and downright painful pair of sneakers. There's no way I would want to run in them. There's NO padding under your foot!

I paid $115 for these and frankly, they're useful for maybe short grocery shopping or a run to the mall but I wouldn't wear them for anything more than that. I did take them on another test yesterday for a 4 mile walk and the same thing happened all over again. I wore the sole down to almost nothing on my Brooks and even with that, I couldn't wait to put them back on my feet. I was able to walk 4 miles more and in much better comfort, even with minimal soles left on the shoes.

If I could give these shoes zero stars, I would. 8 miles on the shoes and I may see if I can offload them on Ebay. What a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best running/workout shoes I ever had
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2016
Bought these in store about 4 years back. Wore them to the holes. Best shoes I ever had considering I have very problematic (flat, wide) feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A running shoe but also great for standing still.
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

I read somewhere that old ladies always wear white tennis shoes, so decided that I needed a change, maybe even some red or other colored ones. I'm 73! My white ones were pretty clunky also and I felt like I was wearing shoe boxes.

When I saw these, I fell in love with them, especially after reading about Senator Wendy Davis and her 11-hour filibuster in 2013 in Texas while she was wearing these exact shoes.

I find then to be supportive yet, not clunky nor stiff and they are very comfortable. No "break in" needed. They are great for those long lines at Costco, the airport, etc. I also think they are cute!

Awful shoes. I have long been a loyal wearer of mixing. These were a painful fit, with the top of the laces cutting into my foot. I understand this is a common complaint, fortunately the newer mizunos are back to form. DO NOT BUY.

Very pretty. Works very well. It could use a little more padding on the bottom if you're into weight lifting.
