Shoes Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Mary MacLaren's performance is incredible, her striking features look like something out of a Victorian painting, and Weber uses her look of broken innocence to her advantage.
Variety
Joshua Lowe
There are no "big" or "sensational" scenes, merely a vision of life as it actually is, and devoid of all theatricalism.
Los Angeles Times
Grace Kingsley
Shoes is the greatest photoplay which Lois Weber has ever produced. All praise to its perfection of acting... All praise to the fact that every atom of its fine-drawn drama grows out of the hearts, the lives, the motives of real human beings.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Weber-who, like Griffith, knew how to pull viewers deep inside a character's emotional vortex-reveals how the chronic envy of these young shopworkers, selling merchandise they can't afford themselves, sucks them into a rapacious economy.
Moving Picture World
Margaret I. MacDonald
The production rings true, and at no moment do the players appear to be acting.
Buffalo News
Buffalo News Staff
Sweet and appealing is the acting of little Mary MacLaren in the splendid Lois Weber production of Shoes.
New York Clipper
Clipper Staff
This sort of stuff has been done to death for years In the cheap touring' companies, and as presented by the Blue Bird Co. Is neither better nor worse than the average film treating of a similar theme.
Motion Picture News
Peter Milne
If Shoes strikes an audience in the right mood the people are going to be greatly moved by it. If it strikes it in the wrong mood they are going to grow tired of it.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
A wealth of details fill every frame while remarkable effects, especially for 1916, enhance the story.
Vague Visages
Kate Saccone
Shoes especially is a testament to the importance of reconsidering women's involvement in cinema history.
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
Shoes is a prime example of every aspect of [Lois Weber's] artistry.
