Dr. Scholl's Shoes Womens Nova - Comfortable Slip On Platform Women's

Our review of the Womens Nova finds it best for someone who wants a casual, everyday slip on with reliable support and a modern, sporty look. The single biggest reason to consider these shoes is the combination of anatomical insole cushioning and a roomy 1 and 3/4 in platform that adds height without sacrificing comfort. Built with recycled materials in the linings and some upper components, the Nova aims to balance sustainable choices with practical features for walking, errands, and long days on your feet.

Key Features

• Sustainably crafted: Linings and topcloth are partially made from recycled plastic bottles to reduce waste while maintaining a soft interior feel.
• Slip on fit: Twin gore panels and a padded collar make the shoe easy to put on and provide a snug, flexible fit without laces.
• Platform sole: The 1 and 3/4 in platform offers modest lift and a contemporary silhouette that still works for everyday wear.
• Sustainable comfort: The insole technology provides anatomical cushioning and arch support designed for extended standing and walking.
• Lightweight movement: The flexible construction moves with the foot, keeping the shoe from feeling stiff during daily activities.

Who It's For

The Womens Nova is aimed at people who want a casual loafer-style sneaker that is easy to slip on and provides noticeable arch support for all-day wear. It works well for commuters, retail or service workers, and anyone who likes a slightly elevated sole without a formal look.

Those who need very wide fit options, heavy-duty durability for rugged outdoor use, or specialized athletic performance should look elsewhere; some customers report a narrow fit and occasional wear issues over long term heavy use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable anatomical insole gives reliable support for standing and walking.
• Sustainably crafted materials reduce plastic waste while keeping a soft lining.
• Sporty, versatile style pairs with casual outfits and does not read strictly as a tennis shoe.
• Easy slip on design with twin gore panels makes daily use quick and convenient.

Cons

• Fit is mixed; some wearers find the shoe narrow, so sizing or width needs attention.
• Some customers report durability concerns with upper materials showing wear sooner than expected.
