DrewRose Women's Cushioned Mary Jane

I have worn the Drew Rose shoes for many years, and have several pairs in different colors. I had to send this one back. First, because the description said the upper was leather, and they are not, they are cloth. Although the color is described as "velvet", I assumed that meant that they were perhaps buffed leather that had the appearance of velvet. Also, the strap cut into the top of my foot/ankle very badly, and it does not do this in any of the other Rose shoes that I have. Something is wrong with these.

Too bad you can't buy these shoes any more online, or I'd get several more pairs. I hated them when they first arrived and they sat in the box for about six weeks while I shopped around for something more attractive and comfortable. Then I finally went ahead and put my own orthotics in them (removing Drew's orthotics entirely), after which they instantly became the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn. Then I had to get used to their appearance, which took about a week. Now I wear them every day, mostly with dresses to work, but occasionally with pants. Can't count the number of compliments I have received, and I dread the day they wear out. I'd pay twice as much for another pair.

These shoes are intended to be used with your own insoles so if you don't have inserts you might be disappointed by the arch support. However, with my inserts they are amazing! It's very hard to find a shoe that fits my wide arthritic feet yet doesn't look like "nun shoes". If you went to parochial school you'll know what I mean. I'm too young for "nun shoes" but unfortunately my arthritis says I need wide, supportive shoes to get through the day. LOVE. these. shoes. From the image I thought they'd be more of a classic red. They are more of a brown toned red than I expected but that's okay. I'm already planning my work wardrobe around my new red shoes.

I was very excited to learn about these shoes as they had two insoles that could be used or removed to accommodate appropriate depth. I wear a 1/2 " lift in my right shoe and I have a hammer toe in my left foot.My complaint is these shoes are hard. They hurt the bottom of my feet from the ball to the toes. The arch support I left in is very cushy but it's the soles that are so rigid causing the discomfort.I won't buy another pair.

I purchased these shoes for my 97 year old mother. Three years ago she had gotten a Drew Mary Jane, not sure which one think it was Bloom II, and the sole recently cracked. I was going to buy her the same ones but saw these Drew Rose Mary Jane on sale on Amazon. She loves them. They do not look as clunky on her feet as the others did. She has hammer toes and the toe box is roomy/deep enough so it does not bother her. The sides give good support and the adjustable strap is great. They are also very cute.

This is the second pair of these shoes I have bought. The last pair was bought five years ago and I am still wearing them. I just change the insoles when needed. I bought these as a backup when I got the stimulus checks so that I would have them when the others finely become unwearable. If you get the extra wide widths buy a half size smaller or they will be to long.

Just received these shoes. I was fearful that it was another pair of shoes I would have to return. I have very flat, flexible feet that hurt all the time. These shoes are worth the money. Roomy, comfy, toe box has room , the stap can adjust comfortably. You can use your orthotics comfortably by taking out the inner sole there is another cushion under the one you remove. Nor as soft as keeping the other one in but if you have to wear them it might as well be in these shoes. I thought they would be ugly but they aren't, they are nice looking and look good on.I have very flat feet and I wear an 11 B.

I love Drew shoes. I ordered the wrong size and decided to go with a navy shoe of the same style. These shoes fit well and hold up over time. I had a pair of Drew black shoes I wore for years. I wore them until the velcro wouldn't stick on one shoe.
