Are the Dr. Scholl's Be True sneakers actually waterproof?

Yes, the upper is treated as waterproof, but it is a synthetic coating rather than a Gore-Tex membrane. It handles rain and splashes, not standing in deep water.

Do they come in wide widths?

Yes. Be True is offered in normal and wide widths, and the wide version is the one most praised by buyers with broader feet.

How do they fit compared with other Dr. Scholl's sneakers?

They run true to size for most buyers, with a roomier toe box than the brand's narrower fashion styles. Those between sizes may want to size up for thicker socks.

What is the heel height?

The heel is 1.25 inches, a low casual lift that keeps the shoe stable for walking and standing.

Is $35 a good price for these?

Yes. At $35.00 at Belk as of November 8, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range and well under the usual asking price across the 8 stores that carry it.

Can I wear them for work shifts?

They suit nurses, teachers and retail staff who stand for hours, thanks to the forefoot cushioning. If your feet run hot, the synthetic upper may feel warm by the end of a shift.
