Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 29 reviews.
The shoes are very comfortable and very nice looking.
The staff was very helpful in getting me the correct fit. As you can see, I am able to wear my Richie brace with on my left foot. I use extra insoles and a heel liner in the right shoe. I love how they fit.
I work in a retail boutique and am on my feet all day. I saw these shoes on TV and ordered two pairs - they are everything I had hoped they would be! I love the way they come up the sides of my foot and the cross-cross elastic holds them on with out feeling tight. They feel like they are hugging my feet all day, I come home at the end of the day with feet that not sore at all - and several customers have even commented on how much they like the shoes! Thank you, apropos footwear, I will be buying more!
Every time I wear my Appropos my mom comments that she wants them! So I purchased these for my mom for her 81st birthday. She said “they’re fun, they’re cute and kinda sexy!” What more is there to say?
I love these shoes! Comfortable, beautiful and cool! I even use them in the winter wearing my alpaca socks, they still fit perfectly and keep my feet warm. My feet are narrow but the shoes hold very well. Soles are soft. I never wear ballerina style shoes because they give me leg and back pain, but the Apropos are the only ones that make me feel comfortable all day. Keep making them, we love them!

I bought the shoes to celebrate after having heel surgery. Unfortunately I wasn't able to wear them for a few months after surgery (cast, boot, brace!) When I was finally able to wear them I found the heel on the left shoe was collapsed so it is not very comfortable wearing. I assumed it was too late to send back so now they are sitting in my closet. If based on looks alone - they are very cute!
Store owner replied:
Hi Barbara,
Our offer to restore your left shoe on the Floral Fog pattern is still open for your follow-up with the return. As we shared with you on our phone, FF has a very relaxed weave and if the shoes are collapsed or something compresses on the heel, it may cause a crease memory. This can be corrected with a small modification by us.
If your foot has a "soft" or petite heel contour that doesn't quite fill the heel, it leaves a void or excess fabric. We can adjust the heel profile to improve this interface.
Please contact us for any additional assistance. We are invested in your enjoying your shoes: 800-746-3724.
After many fabrics of apropos footwear over a period of probably more than 25 years ago, I now know why they are referred to as “conversation shoes!” Wherever I travel for work or at home they are always on my feet! I cannot begin to count the times I have been stopped and asked “I love your shoes they look so comfortable which I reply, “ I don’t own a pair of shoes that can beat apropos footwear.”I wash them on delicate cycle and line dry and have never had a problem.

I cannot say enough about these perfect shoes. I love the style and the pattern. When I was unsure about which type of fabric would work best for my feet, I received a personalized, specific, and very helpful response from the company. Oh, and I ordered my second pair the day after receiving my first!
I never write reviews of products but I love, love these shoes so much I just had to let women everywhere know abut Apropos! I bought my first pair about twenty years ago and have been hooked ever since. These are by far the MOST comfortable shoes ever, with the most unique patterns, and they last for years and years! Apropos are so versatile and stylish - I have worn them on vacation, to work, to shop, etc., etc. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day, but these wonderful shoes keep my 'light on my feet'. They are among the only shoes that I can wear on vacation, confident that after a long day of sightseeing my feet (and back) will still be pain free. Every woman should have at least one pair!
I really like the fun pattern on this shoe. It is a little tight across the instep, and my right heel slips, but I’m trying to follow the advice/directions and wearing the shoes to let them adjust to my feet, and it is getting better. Not sure if the metatarsal support will be enough without my orthotic insoles for long wearings, but they seem all right for the short wearings ai have been doing around the house.
Store owner replied:
Hi Diane,
We will contact to follow-up on your fit outcome. Everyone has two different size feet and the stretchy weave of Floral Fog (yes, very cute!) may result in its yielding too much for your smaller foot. We have four modifications we make free of charge that will help to achieve a more optimal fit. Dress inserts are very effectively used with our shoes to customize them for your needs. Thank you for your analysis, and we're here to help get you to your apropos fit profile.
I wanted to love this shoe because of the look and the cushiony sole, which most flats don’t have. But after trying 2 sizes, I’m giving up. It’s just too scratchy and I can’t imagine having them on my feet on a hot day.
One of my daughters is crazy about your shoes and I ordered a pair because of her enthusiasm. They were smart and beautiful, but the right one irritated the potential bunion on that foot. I expressed my dilemma to customer service, and was told that the vamp on the shoe needed to be deeper and to please send a picture. I did so and was rewarded with a new right shoe with said deep vamp. It fits perfectly. No irritation.
I cannot believe how caring a company you are. You do so much more than create beautiful and comfortable shoes, you are building a customer base of people like me who honor and support your business. Thank you so much.

I love them. They are beautiful. But, I have the beginning of a bunion on my right foot and the cross strap on that side seems to irritate that area. I don't want to send them back, and I'm trying a pad and/or a band aide attempting a solution. Any suggestions?

The first time I bought Apropos shoes was over 11 years ago and I still wear those shoes to work. I recently bought this new pair and learned that in 11 years I was no longer the same size. I have a large bunion and I think flatter feet. I spoke with Apropos and they were very helpful in fitting me in shoes that are now the right size. Great customer service.
Most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. Love the distinctive patterns and colors.
Surprised to find that when I purchased two pair, the shipping was free!
I truly am stopped in Starbucks, at work, and in stores (or was before Covid 19!) by folks who comment on how pretty my shoes are! I happily tell them of my satisfaction with my 5th? pair of Apropos shoes - high quality, real comfort, and fashionable style - not to mention made locally in Massachusetts. As a teacher of young children, I am on on my feet all day. Wearing my Apropos shoes, I can meet that requirement of my job in complete comfort.
My sister and myself wore our lovely Apropos shoes at The Lenox and complete strangers ,2 days running, commented at breakfast how lovely they were. One American lady even asked to try mine on for size and another promptly used her iPad to view your offerings. We love all our selections!
