Saturday Shoe

My shoe shopping experiences have been pretty sad most of my life. I have a repaired club foot that is short , wide and has a high arch and swells during the day! The Saturday shoe is the only one I have found to fit me! I am on my second pair, thank you for these shoes they have made it possible for me to walk and leave the house!

This specialty shoe company has more than fulfilled any expectations I could possibly have had. Working with them to find a shoe that I might be able to tolerate and could wear pretty much anywhere, was made easy by their friendly, knowledgeable customer reps. The only way I think they could have helped me more was to be standing next to me, holding my hand. I have been to specialty shoe companies in Phoenix, AZ, who were not nearly as helpful or knowledgeable and who acted as though I was a real imposition on their time. What a nice surprise to find Pandere the total opposite of those negative experiences. My heart goes out to all of us who have problems in finding shoes for our unique foot problems. Pandere was not able (yet) to provide a shoe that worked for my feet. They came SO close, though. My "Achilles Heel" actually was the heel. My health issues are caused by Fibromyalgia and CFS; chronic pain and fatigue. My feet are ultra-sensitive and the back of the heel, right at the point where most shoes hit while walking, is one of my worst pain points. If it were not for this, Pandere's shoes would have been my god-send. They're a beautiful shoe that does exactly what the company says they'll do and, except for the heel, would have been perfect for my needs. I tried two styles. Pandere paid for all shipping, including returns and made it very easy to return. They gave me plenty of time to try the shoes. I think their sandals may work for me, but I first have to find a more day-to-day shoe. All things told, I love this company, those who helped me and their policies and standards. I will continue watching as new styles come out and, at some point, will be getting those sandals. These shoes are well-made and definitely worth the cost. I was recommending them before I could afford to buy and I will continue recommending them. I think they're still a relatively new company and I hope they have the greatest of successes as they continue to grow.

I have sinus tarsi syndrome in my left ankle which creates swelling. I also have very wide feet. With that said, it’s impossible for me to find a comfortable shoe. These shoes are incredible! I just wish there were more styles that I liked so I could buy more!!

I have lymphedema and of course regular shoes don’t fit. Regular shoes is causing bunion problems regular shoes has caused me not to be able to put on shoes until someone told me to look up shoes for lymphedema and I found your company.They are easy to get on there easy to tighten up I like the fact that I could loosen them once my feet swell. i wish that you had dress shoes or some type of dress shoes in white because I’m in a nonprofit organization and putting on a white suit with black shoes cannot work. I am on a fixed income and the shoes are a little pricey but worth every penny soon as I can save up enough I need another pair so I’m not wearing it every day I do have a pair of new balance sneakers but sometimes you just need shoes. I have the Saturday shoe but I also would like to order once I have the money of course the Alaskan I want the nomad shoe. I also want the Saturday shoe again because you have them in blue and I would like those, Oh I do need a pair sandals and up your house shoes and anytime you ever need someone to show your shoes off and you’re going to give away free pair remember me thank you for making your shoes

Love. These. Shoes. I have swelling issues in my right foot and pain issues in my left. These shoes have given me the flexibility needed to keep both feet comfortable. Something I thought would never happen again. Aging isn't easy (I'm 71) but with these wonderful shoes I now have more freedom of movement. Hmmmm...now if we could only get them to work on covid.

My wife has been struggling with Lymphedema for a short while and has been frustrated with not being able to find shoes that fit her swollen feet. I happened upon your website and thought I would take a chance on your shoes. I purchased a pair as a Christmas present because the need was so great. At first, she wouldn’t even try them on and was convinced by looking at them, they would not fit her swollen feet. They stayed in the box for several days until I suggested she at least try them on. Reluctantly she did and was AMAZED how good they felt and how well they fit her swollen feet. Now she won’t take them off! Thanks Pandere for solving an aggravating problem. You and your shoes are the BEST! Greg McNair

I’m 70+ yrs old and I’ve had seriously sore and swollen feet for 50+ of those years. Buying shoes has always been a nightmare for me and it seems I always settled, mostly out of frustration, for whatever hurt my feet the least at the moment. This is definitely not the way to do things! My new shoes are seriously comfortable and I can wear them all day (6:30 am to 9:00 pm) without any part of either foot hurting! I love that I can easily re-adjust or loosen the lacing (without removing my shoe!!!) to accommodate different amounts of swelling throughout the day. Also I have found that using a long-handled shoe horn helps these slip onto my feet in the morning with ease. I will be purchasing more when the time comes without hesitation!

I bought these for my mom, she has many issues with her feet, swelling, bunions, and botched surgery. We had difficulty with the speed laces, they did not allow the shoe to open wide enough to get her bad foot in, so I cut off the speed laces and used just regular laces. That was disappointing but workable. The shoes look stylish and are neutral in color. These shoes are winners.

I was hesitant to spend so much on shoes online with a company I wasn’t familiar with but I really needed something for my swollen feet and saw some good reviews so I went for it. I’m so glad I did. The shoes arrived fairly quick and I was impressed with the design. I did run into an issue with the fit and reached out to Pandere’s customers service. I honestly haven’t seen such great customer service in over a decade! It’s like they really care. They worked with me to take 2 quick measurements and came back with recommendations and solved the issue. I’m a fan and highly recommend Pandere Shoes. Steve

I am sending you a picture of my recent shoes. They fit well both with and without my Ottobock WalkOn brace. Thank you for working with me to find the best fit. (You suggested I select a man's shoe size 8 instead of a women's size 9.) That made a real difference for me!

The shoes were beautiful but could get my left foot in them. Had to return hope to reorder soon.

These are the second Saturday Pandere shoes I've bought. They are the only shoes I can wear because my left foot swells sometimes and it's easy to just loosen the lace where my foot is most swollen and get relief while keeping the tension on the rest of the foot. Thanks Pandere!

These are the only shoes that I have found that will work for my mother. She has arthritis in her feet and ankle swelling that she was only able to wear slippers until we found these shoes. Thanks

The Saturdays shoes fit my feet perfectly! They're so comfortable and now I don't have to worry that I'll be in pain when I go out. I'll definitely be buying more and hope you'll start making them in several other colors, including brown.

If there was a bigger toe box it would be the perfect shoe, I am sure most would agree

I work retail so I'm on my feet 8 hours a day. Have worked for over 20 years. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. My feel really swell at work and hurt so I had trouble walking. With these shoes my feet don't hurt anymore. Just have the normal tired feet.

These folks were super easy to work with. They did all they could to satisfy my concerns and in the end were upfront and reasonable. I hope I can work with them again.

Great shoes, so comfortable. I have hard to fit feet, but these shoes allow me to adjust them around my high instep and weirdly shaped toes.

I've had my Saturday shoes for over two years, and I'd like to address an issue I'm seeing in the comments about the tongue. I am 5'2" and 290 lbs, and yes it can be difficult for me to reach my feet. The loose tongue was an issue at first, but I quickly learned to shift the slide on the elastic lace to the loosest position and then tuck the tongue under the loop so the elastic can hold it up and out of the way as I slip my foot into the shoe. From a sitting position, I can then reach from the side rather than straight down to untuck the tongue and give it a gentle pull or two so it lies properly. Then a quick slide of the fastener tightens it to accommodate however much my foot is swollen that day. Just recently, I've begun to use a shoe horn because the back edge of the shoe has grown more flexible over time and sometimes folds inside the shoe on one side when I insert my foot, and my finger is often too thick to pry it back into position. A very minor inconvenience, easily resolved. I prefer to aear them without socks as much of the year as possible, and the removable insoles that i think are covered in neoprene have worn smooth enough that my foot can slide a little if I am walking on an incline. I've been meaning to write to find out if I can order replacements. Honestly, these shoes are almost too well made because I've had no need to order another pair, although I am looking forward to the new flats you are designing!

Very pleased with my Saturday shoes. I bought a second pair (waterproof).

The shoe is great. It has the give I need when my feet swell. Very nice looking and very comfortable

I love my new shoes. I have lymphedema in my left foot and require an XX-wide shoe but my right foot is normal size. I have always had shoes that were too tight on one foot and too loose on the other. These shoes are an answer to a prayer. Finally a shoe that comfortably fits both feet. I am anxiously awaiting a running shoe and a sandal in extra wide. I liked my Gray Saturdays so well I ordered the blue ones also. They are very well constructed and worth the money.

They are very nice-looking shoes and well-made. There is one problem for me that I'm not sure how to address. They generally fit, but the tongue is too long and presses into my ankle and it is most uncomfortable when my feet swell.

Very comfortable. Great shoes and Great Service.

I had to return the shoes because i had a flare-up with my heel spurs and my dr didn’t think they were a good choice at this time.

Comfortable on my wide feet When my feet swell, these will help relieve my pain

I purchased shoes for my mother and me. Unfortunately she was not able to use hers due to arthritis. They were difficult for her to put on by herself. The return was smooth and my refund was quick. My shoes are comfortable for me. I did find that the sizes ran a little big so I actually kept the pair that was ordered for my mother and she wears a full size smaller shoe than me.

Comfortable and supportive on the feet. Accommodate a large bunion.

I have primary lymphedema in both legs, mainly on the left for many years. I have been frustrated with shoe shopping ever since. Nothing ever fit correctly until found Pandere Shoes. I was very skeptical until I was able to put the shoe on my very swollen left foot. I literally cried. I was so happy and amazed. The shoes have made such a difference in my life. The pain and swelling has been reduced and I can get them on without a massive struggle. Thank you!! I look forward to getting my next pair and the sandals!!!

I wish I had found Pandere shoes earlier. I wear an Arizona brace on my left foot, and finding shoes to fit the bulky brace has been a nightmare. I was actually wearing bedroom slippers when I went out. I ordered your Saturday shoes a size larger than my usual size, and it's perfect! I also slipped an orthotic in the right shoe, laced it tight, and that fits perfectly too! Please, please, please start making sandals too! We need Panderes for the summer. Thanks for a great shoe!

I love these shoes! They were comfortable from the very first day.

I love these shoes; they stretch with my feet as they swell but still support my arches. I only wish theyhad a loop to hold the tongue up.

My lymphadenopathy makes shoe buying very difficult. The shoes are well made but I wish they could be wider . Delivery time was excellent

These shoes have been a big help however I suggest that the tongue be sown in. A lot of people that have issues with swollen feet are usually quite heavy, like myself. Having the tongue not attached to the inner part of the shoe makes it difficult to put on.

Holy grail I have T1D and severe swelling and neuropathy in both of my legs and feet and finding these shoes was like finding the holy grail of footwear! These are a total game changer! Because my feet change from day to day it’s huge to be able to adjust the fit of my shoes. This is the first time that I’ve pulled a pair of shoes out of a box and put them on and not wanted to change a thing!

Absolutely Amazing Shoes! I can’t even tell you how much I love these shoes. My feet do not swell a lot but I needed a shoe with a wide toebox. These shoes fit the bill. My feet are absolutely in love and quite happy! If you’re hesitating to get tissues, do not hesitate! Your feet will love you and be happy! Also the issues are really nice I can wear with a skirt, with my jeans. They look good with anything.

Very comfortable I received the Saturday show yesterday and decided to give them a test run today before I go back to work on Monday. Very stylish. I wear a size 12 EE and my right foot swells significantly during the day. I love the adjustable cord in the back making the shoe easy to put on. The width is perfect and allowed my foot to swell without cutting off my circulation. I was truly impressed on how fast the shipping was I ordered on Sunday and they arrived Thursday! I do agree with another reviewer that there could be more cushion but that can be fixed with another insole later on. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone in the service industry that needs a pair of all black stable and comfortable shoe. I travel a lot for my job and I am constantly walking and standing for long periods at a time. I really think these shoes solved my problem. Thank you for understanding and solving a problem. I will be a repeat customer

Happu Just received my shoes today(very fast delivery) and I am very pleased. Wore them right away. They went on easily, and are very comfortable. I wish you had more styles, especially short boots, but I understand you are a new company. I will certainly keep checking back for new styles and colors!

Heel Great stretch. Unfortunately the slight heel leaves me unsure of my step and hurts my knee. A more level shoe like a cross trainer would be nice.

I don't want to rip my shoes off anymore!! There is an option for us suffering from lymphedema, and it's for once not to just go barefoot!! For years extra wide shoes weren't even doing the trick and after an hour I felt like my foot was going to burst our of them. After a desperate internet search I finally found Pandere and I assure you these shoes are life changing. It's amazing to be able to adjust the swelling points of my feet while keeping others cinched in at different points throughout the day. Each year I go Black Friday shopping and this year I did not have to take the 25 breaks I normally did because my shoes accommodated my swelling. I was able to go the entire day with just adjusting the cords accordingly. Finally my feet do not hurt anymore and my circulation is no longer cut off. Thank you, Pandere!!! Note: I was not paid to write this or reimbursed in any way, I am just a VERY happy customer who thought I'd never be able to find shoes that fit!! I am very VERY skeptical of everything I do, buy, etc. so do not take this review lightly! :-D

Shoes that FIT! I was born with wonderfully weird feet. I have extremely high arches, EEE width feet, narrow heels, and they only measure size 7. Oh yeah, and I wear orthotics because my feet roll outward to an extreme degree. I have to go up at least 1.5 sizes to get shoes that fit, because of the combined height and width of my feet. Enter the Saturday shoe. Based on my many years of experience with shoe sizing and wide last/larger toe boxes, I decided to try the Saturday in my "normal" size, 7. (One caveat: I don't have lymphedema and my feet don't usually swell much, so I didn't have to take those things into consideration.) Low and behold, they fit. Perfectly. With orthotics. With heavy socks. Without socks. Did I say perfectly? Yep. What a relief to have shoes that are not too snug across the instep while at the same time not so long in the toes that I trip over them. My Saturdays are comfortable all day long. If I were to have one constructive criticism, it's this: the adjustment in the heel tends to loosen when I walk for while. It would be nice if the little slider held a bit bettert. It can pull loose without even pressing the button, just from the walking motion. Other than that, I absolutely love them. I'll be sad to put them away for the winter when it starts to snow here. Thanks for a shoe that seems to be made just for me!

Comfy and great fit I hesitated for awhile buying these shoes because I wear neoprene velcro wraps for lymphedema, and I wasn't sure if the shoes would fit or not. They are perfect! Lighter weight than my double-depth shoes and very comfortable.

clever design embraces wide, mismatched feet For reference: I am the owner of one "normal" foot that measures women's 8 E, and one perpetually swollen foot that's 8 2E with extra poof on top for good measure. After getting advice from customer service, I went ahead and ordered the Saturday in 8 women's/6 men's. When the shoes arrived they went on and were just the right length, but were too tight on the bigger foot, causing it to begin to ache--and me to begin to despair--until I remembered that Pandere insoles are removable. Once I took them out, and figured out the right adjustments with the toggles, I had myself a pair of shoes! (I prefer minimal footwear, so I find going without the insoles preferable anyway.) If one thing keeps the Saturday from being *absolutely perfect for me*, it's that the general starting width of the sole through the ball and toe box is just not as wide as my feet are. In particular, both of my little toes get squished right against a part of the shoe that, though it has relaxed a bit with further wearing, is one of the few points in the whole construction of the shoe that doesn't have much give. This just means they're not as great for walking as I had hoped. As you can see, this is still an all-of-the-stars review. I am delighted to, after way too long searching, finally have these shoes that gracefully accommodate both of my feet and look good doing it.

Great Service and product I was very happy with the customer service. I had ordered Bolero and Barista to see which would fit better. But it was suggested based on my order size that Saturday might work . They were correct and I ended up getting the black and the grey. My only suggestion would be to have a bit more cushion in the bottom of the shoe and definitely more colors! I will be having toe surgery in a few weeks which means I will not be weight bearing for quite a while, but I'm excited to know that I will have two pairs of Pandere Saturday shoes waiting for me!

Saturday shoe I have rheumatoid arthritis and lymphedema ,not a good thing when your a women with a size 13 extra wide foot.these shoes fit,look attractive and accommodate my large feet .i got the gray ,wish they came in a nice brown as well.I would like to see more styles and colors for my large feet

Just what I needed! I love these shoes! I had foot surgery on one foot early in the summer and these are the only shoes I could wear comfortably with my swollen left foot. What a relief to have comfortable shoes that look good and fit BOTH feet! I am spreading the word.

Saturday shoe I needed help to get them on because of my disability. They looked like great shoes, but unfortunately, couldn’t work for me.

Saturday Shoe This shoe is a gift from the gods- fits great ,looks great and made right with style! Nice people to deal with-fantastic Customer Service and very caring about their customers with prompt follow -up to make sure you're satisfied. Was just the shoe I was searching for help me with my foot problems. I bought two pairs in gray and black and love them.

great shoes I love this shoe also , it is great for wide feet. But I have two complaints , I agree with Sherri below , they do need more cushion at the bottom of the shoe. When I get home from work the bottom of my feet are killing me because there isn't enough cushion there. Also the tongue always gives me a problem when I go to put them on . it moves all over and sometimes gets stuck in the back of the shoe and that makes it very difficult to put them on. The tongue is very flimsy and moves around to much. Other than those two issues I do recommend these shoes to everybody. They are so awesome , eventually I will purchase the Saturday in black as well . I do have the gray one already.

Great shoes I’m loving these shoes. I have really odd shaped duck feet with my toes curving from RA and these shoes fit!!! WoooHoo! My cons are they are a bit too heavy and hot on the foot and I need more cushion(that’s why -1 star) but my toes are happy and that’s what matters to me the most!

Very comfortable shoes I usually buy a half size bigger for my wide feet but there is no need to with these shoes. They fit like a glove and feel great on. Thanks, Pandere.

Cute and Comfortable---Finally!!!! It seems to good to be true...to have shoes that don't look like orthopedic shoes but feel like them! I could barely believe it! Thank you Pandere! More colors asap please

THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for making these shoes!!! For years I could only wear ugly sneakers and now I have an option. That means more than you could know!! They were a little snug the first time I put them on but by the second day they fit just fine. Love them...they only request that I have is more color options please. I definitely will be buying another pair as soon as other colors are available.

Yeah! I bought these shoes as a sneak attack for my husband. He has many different foot problems, has extra wide feet, wears orthotic inserts, and is a crazy tightwad when it comes to spending money on shoes for himself. Its ok if I spend that money on my shoes, but not him! WELL LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!! He LOVES them! to the point that he asked me to buy another pair in a different color. Unfortunately for him, you guys only make them in one color. Is there any chance that in the future you might be expanding your color selection for the Saturday????

Total comfort! I have only been wearing my shoes for about a week, but WOW! My feet swell and then go back to normal during the day, Pendere shoes goes with the flow - so far I love them! I must say that I'm very impressed with the workmanship in this shoe too, I had feared the materials might be way too thin and wouldn't really "hold" my foot in place. These soles are something else too, so much thicker than normal shoes - bonus! Thank you for even thinking of coming up with such a design, I know you worked long and hard on this design. I am one to say thank you from the mountain tops!

You Have to Get These Shoes! I have been searching for stylish, confortable shoes for a couple of years, that would accommodate my feet swelling. These are so easy to put on and take off and they look great! I hope more colors come out soon in this style!

Fantastic Shoes!!!!!!!! I received the Saturday shoes on June 15. I was a little hesitant about spending so much for a pair of shoes, but these shoes are exceptional. I have wide feet, and the shoes fit very well. I wore them Saturday night, and I was amazed at the fit. If you are thinking about these shoes.....buy them. You won't be disappointed with the quality and the fit.

You must try these shoes! I have peripheral neuropathy, and my feet are different sizes, due to swelling, at any given moment! These shoes are very comfortable.

Saturday shoes I love them. The ability to expand them throughout the day makes being on my feet much more comfortable.

Thank God for these shoes! Ever since I had a blood clot in my leg affecting the blood flow in my foot/leg, I've been searching for shoes. If it fits on the bad leg, it's way to big on the other. This shoe solved my problem. Both shoes fit well, and as my foot swells during the day the shoe handles the needed room. The only other thing to say is 'more colors please!'. Thank you.

Comfortable!! Most comfortable shoe my gnarly feet have felt in years. The extra wide size allows my bunions to finally have room to relax. And their customer service is awesome!
