While not exactly like the "old" ones (the toe space has less of a "hump" for you to hang on to), I like them. I find it easy to walk in them and they do help my calves strengthen.

I love the original wooden Dr. Scholl's. I think they are so comfortable and a great workout for my legs. I do not think the plastic or imitation Dr. Scholl's are comfortable. I would love to see the original shoes in more colors or patterns. I would highly recommend these shoes and think they look great with dresses, pants or shorts.

These shoes are exactly the same as I remember getting them 20 years ago. They do take a little breaking in. And they do require you to squeeze your toes and calves to walk in them - but that's why they are called exercise shoes! They are cute and stylish, with a timeless yet cool 70's vibe. I get lots of compliments on them and they make your calves look killer! I did have to return the size 7 (which is my nor am size) and go down to 6 (which was perfect). Thank goodness for Zappos return policy!

I got these because I love the retro look but was skeptical of the comfort of the design. I was immediately in love with the they feel and the give of the leather is making them conform exactly to my feet. Easy to slip on, look cool and be comfortable all day. I wear them every day! Highly recommend. Also, PS: the buckle for adjustment is hard to figure out at first but after lots of googling I figured it out and it's easy. Use a butter knife to lift the buckle top and then move around to adjust the width and click back into its spot!

These are my favorite summer sandals. I have been wearing them since I was a teenager living in Germany (a long time). I have narrow feet and these shoes fit great. I start at the closest hole and after about three years they stretch out and I have to move to the farthest hole. My only complaint is the price increase every year. I will get a blister or two when I first start wearing the new ones - a couple of weeks and some Band-Aids is all it takes. If you have never worn them before you have to learn to grip with your toes when you walk or you will walk right out of them.

Well I am thinking up until 2009 I wore my originals. Until one afternoon my neighbor awoke me to say a heavy thunderstorms cause my street to becoming a rapid flowing creek and it was threatening to take my car away. So I slip on my shoes and run out to save it the water was thigh high and fast as I jumped into my car the water ripped off my left shoe. I saved the car but not the shoe. Is there a replacement for such an old pair of shoes? Especially at such a high price? We shall see. I will update when they arrive. On the old ones.

You have to adjust the strap so that you can just fit your fingers under it, not have them tight to your foot. Yes, they do wear down to the wood on the bottom but you can keep wearing them for a long time past that.

I love these shoes. I have worn them since I was in my 20's and I love the way they fit and feel on my feet. I have ordered 4 pair from Zappos and I am so happy with them, how fast they were delivered, and the price. I will order them again and again. 5 star all the way.

Not the same shoe as back in the day - missing the toe grab making keeping the shoes on a little tricky

I was so excited to get these sandals! I wore the original sandals was the young adult and love them. They are comfortable and indestructible. I was disappointed when I received it is because the toe grip has been almost completely obliterated which makes the sandals really hard to keep on your feet when you're walking. There is nothing for your toes to grip. So sad and disappointed. Bring back the toe grip!!!

Despite having read the reviews that said that there is no longer a toe grip, I thought I would give these a try and see for myself. I am so incredibly disappointed- there is NOT a toe grip, and I don't know how anyone gets these to stay on their feet. I absolutely adored my Dr Scholls when I was a kid in the 70s, and am just crushed that I can't get the same ones anymore. Dr. Scholls- if a huge chunk of your customers are requesting these be redesigned with the toe grip, why not actually listen to that feedback? I am returning these, and going on an internet hunt for the ACTUAL "original" Exercise Sandals.

In a moment of nostalgia I ordered the Kate Spade "original" Dr Scholls sandals. I loved wearing these back in the day and was looking forward to wearing them again.
These are definitely not the original sandal design. There is barely a bump for the toe grip so it's extremely difficult to keep the shoes on when you walk. They are cute, but they are going to mostly stay in my closet (if I don't return them).

Nice old style wood footbed but the out soles are useless. Do not hold up at all and you're into the wood very quickly. Would buy a pair if they had a better sole.

You ruined the original sandal. They used to have a bump on the footbed near the toes. That made them stay on better and more comfortable. They are now entirely smooth. I got a pair but hardly wear them whereas before I wore them all the time.

One of the buckles already broke. I'll try to repair it myself.

These shoes were comfortable until I tried to walk in them. They are extremely heavy, and the strap sits so far forward that the shoes flopped around badly when I walked. I don't see how these could be practical for anyone. They were true to size. I am an 8, and the 8 fit.

Bought these at the beginning of the summer. I was so excited to have this iconic pair of sandals again. However, I was very disappointed. I should've sent them back, but I thought I could get used to them. These shoes no longer have raised toe bump tgat you gripped to keep the sandals on your feet. Very difficult to keep these on. I regret not returning them.

They are not the original. The toe grips are not there and that makes them very hard to walk in.
They are also very hard to adjust. You need to use pliers to adjust them.
