Where the Customer is the Critic
The Internet has provided consumers with an evolved approach towards shopping. You no longer have to rely entirely on the opinions of family and friends when choosing the right product. Shoe Critic provides a growing database of customer experiences, allowing people to rate and review different brands of shoes based on three important characteristics. These reviews are then moderated for quality, and immediately shared with the public.
What we're working on
Shoe Critic is currently developing a registration system where consumers can register to earn points for submitting detailed, quality reviews on the shoes they have worn. Prizes will be given out monthly to those users who earned the most points.

Review: I purchased these shoes a little over three months ago and they both split on the inside of the big toe one the same day. I have been wearing tennis shoes all my life, these are the worst shoes I have ever purchased. What a waste of money. I need a refund!

Review: Rieker shoes is the only shoe I'm able to buy online b/c I know, regardless, it will fit my very high arched foot. I love their leather/beaded top flip flops sold in mid 2005, however, the quality has diminished. I have purchased atleast 8-9 pairs (at $100.00/pair,over a period of 3 years and searching the internet worldwide b/c not making this style anylonger), only to have them wearable for a few months before the toe thong broke. One would think if you pay 100.00 for flip flops, they would last more than a couple months. Please, if anyone reads this and could forward it to someone w/manufacturing that could look into this, I would be very appreciative. I used to brag to my friends about this brand of shoes and how great they were, but no longer can do so.

Model: 875

Review: I purchased a pair of redwings a few days ago and the ones I got were model 875 so my opinion is just based on this model not on the brand itself. Let's start off by saying that their extremely uncomfortable!!!! I mean really uncomfortable , this particular boot has not one ounce if padding throughout the whole boot. I'm a size 10 but I got a 9.5 cause the 10 was a little to big with that said I'm regretting spending 200 plus on these boots. I mean nowadays 200 isn't that much money for most ppl but it is for me and for that kind of money they should be a pleasure to wear and their not!!!! I was told to break them in and let me tell u I hope u like hurting feet cause that's what ur gunna get!!! I put a pair of insoles from my other boots in which helped some but know their even tighter then before but my advice to u is don't order them online this model sucks hope this helped

Review: I purchased a pair of Geox shoes, and was extremely excited to wear them. I wore them this past Friday for the first time and to my dismay they really hurt my feet. My feet were in so much pain I had to purchase another pair of shoes just to get out of my Geox shoes and make it home. It was unbearable to walk. It felt like I was literally walking barefoot on concrete floor with each step stinging my feet. I am really disappointed, and alarmed that my feet would be in such anguishing pain. Today, I am still experiencing soreness on both feet and I'm limited to wearing sneakers. I've reached out to the store where I purchased the shoes, and the assistant manager is offering me a 20% discount off my next purchase because they do not take back worn shoes...how does that help me with the shoes I have now? I'm waiting to speak to the manager. This is frustrating! Don't buy Geox shoes, they hurt, and they have an archaic return policy.

Review: Ordered this shoe online. Ordered a 3A--way too wide. Returned for a 4A--it was just as wide. Inspected the shoe. Nowhere except on the box was there ANY indication that the shoe even came in widths. They are selling generic medium-width shoes as triple and quadruple-As. I had worn Amalfi's for years, but after this experience, will never buy them again. What a disappointment from what used to be a fine company.

Review: Sperry Top-Sider is the original brand of boat shoe designed in 1935 by Paul Sperry. They were the first boat shoes introduced into the boating market. They have become widely popular in not only young women but young men today. With over a hundred styles to choose from it makes it difficult to find the one that fits you. Personally, I own the Linen color Angelfish Slip-On Boat Shoe. My first impression of these shoes was utter disgust. I thought they were extremely ugly and refused to not only buy them but try them on. Now these shoes have become one of the best purchases of my short college career. My shoes must be able to match all my clothes. With so many choices it’s fairly easy to find the one that “calls” to you; however you may have to search a bit because of how much they offer. They come in neutral colors such as brown, light brown, pink, and denim blue. They have patterns, colors, styles, and even the popular black and white sparkly pair. These shoes are versatile, casual, stylish, and comfortable shoe. I love that I can walk around campus without gym shoes and without flip-flops but still feel comfortable. They are extremely easy to slip on and if you don’t like wearing socks that much, these are perfect for you. Sperry’s are rather expensive. Prices range from $50-$100+. It was hard spending that much money on them but in the end they are worth it. If you way out all that you are getting they kind of make up for the prices. Ideal prices would be $30-$40. I would be more than happy to spend this much and maybe even buy a second pair right then. They are extremely easy to find especially because of their popularity. They can be found in many large department stores in the mall such as Macy’s and Dillard’s. Also, all over the internet such as sperrytopsider.com. and zappos.com which even offers free shipping. If you just search the internet several websites pop up. They are super comfortable almost as comfortable as my house shoes.. They’re easy to slip on. No tie. It’s advised that you buy half a size smaller than you usually wear because they loosen up within a day of wearing them. Blue jeans turn the leather blue. They are wonderful in the rain. They don’t get ruined in water. Non-slick bottoms so you aren’t falling all over the place in slippery surfaces. I’ve had my shoes for about 6 months and they still look the same as the day I got them, with a few scratches and blue coloring here and there, I still am impressed with how they look. I’ve had several friends who have had them for over a year and they still continue to wear them. They have been stepped on, thrown, stuff spilt on them, dragged through water, and yet I am still in love with them. They come in plain brown box with the original white tissue paper. Display tables at the stores come with a wide variety of styles. However, they look the same as any other table. Nothing too flashy to look at or that catches my attention. You can dress them up or even dress them down. They match with jeans and even if you feel like wearing some sweats. Now that it has gotten colder these days I choose to wear them with jean pants but during the summer I wore them with shorts all the time. My light brown pair matches with just about every color shirt I wear. These shoes compared to all my others rank number one. They are ten times more comfortable than heels, easier to put on than gym shoes, and more protective than flip- flops. The big question-are they worth it? Totally I’m even asking for a new pair for Christmas. I went from hating these shoes to falling in love with them within a minute of wearing them. I would definitely recommend these shoes looking for a “good” pair of shoes.

Review: I give a high rating because they are just so comfortable, I wear them all the time. I do NOT know how to clean them, however. My shoes loose their nap, or the suede look rather quickly, I don't know how to restore such. I use a brush and it just makes the shoe look like it has more shine.

Review: These cross training shoes are the worst shoes I've ever owned. The seams on both sides of the toes ripped, exposing the lining on both sides of the shoe. I'm normally a New Balance shopper, but thought I'd give these a try because they were cheaper. WHAT A MISTAKE! Never again will I buy a pair of Avia shoes.
