Most comfortable sandal ever
This is my 3rd pair of Orthaheel.....I had never heard of them, but a friend told me about them. I went on the QVC website, saw several styles I liked and ordered 3. They are so comfortable, I can wear them all day, no problem and they help to properly shape your foot and instep.

More Wide Than Medium
This shoe would be a good choice for someone with a wider foot. The foot bed is wider than any other Orthaheel shoe I have. I can't adjust the straps enough to keep my foot from sliding around and have trouble keeping them on. I love everything else about this shoe. I have the pewter which is a great neutral color, and I love the style. It would be a keeper if it was a true medium. Hate having to return it.

Tip tappin' down the walk
I have suffered with plantar fascitis for years.
Thank goodness for Orthoheel! I teach school and
my students always notice what I have on my feet!
Now I can walk down the hall with class AND support!

First Orthaheels, not impressed
Sadly I tossed the box and reciept so I can't return them because the adjustable straps make the sandals look cheap (at least on size 11 shoes) and when you walk at any speed, they feel like they will fall off. They will be my slippers in the house now, since I can't return them, and they do have nice arch support which is why they get 2 stars.

Too Wide
The shoe is cute and comfortable but way the foot bed is way too wide for me. The adjustable straps don't make up for the foot bed width. Too bad, had to send them back.

Great Fit
This pair of Orthaheels is my favorite. I own 4 pair now, and these by far are the most comfortable for me. The others I have seem to rub in places, but these I can wear and wear and they feel great

Nice Looking, but Support is Mild
I love the look of the Orthaheels over Birkenstock since they look feminine and can be dressed up. The suppport of this sandal is light and probably great for someone who was unaware of pronation. If you have painful pronation, I would not recommend these at all. Birkenstocks are much more supportive for painful arches and pronation. I did not see any Orthaheels with a toe grip built into the footbed. A toe grip would be a welcome addition to this sandal, as prevents you from fighting to keep this sandal on your foot while walking. Unfortunaely, I will have to send these back.

Cute and comfortable IS possible!
Great shoe, looks very stylish and fits just as they recommend ordering down for 1/2 sizes. I have the Ivory and they are lovely.

Mine went right back
I can tell that this footbed would be something I would appreciate in a shoe or sandal but this particular style was all wrong in the sizing. Too big both in length and width and I sensed that a size down would be too small in the length. It is frustrating to have to pay 7 dollars to try on a pair of shoes that don't fit.

I love orthaheels!
I have a VERY hiqh arch and back problems to qo with it. I am in love with this footbed. I can't say enouqh about how qood they feel, even after walkinq for hours. I bouqht these in chocolate and they are beautiful. I like the patent leather type finishinq because it makes them a little more fancy and perfect for work. I also like the stones. They're just the riqht amount of blinq! It is just qenius that they made both straps adjustable because the front of my foot is wide and sometimes I have problems with shoes because of that. This is the perfect shoe. I would recommend to anyone. I have spent a lot more money on other brands and not gotten half the quality of Orthaheel.

Just not for me
I'm returning these not because of the fit or the style but the fact that the top velcro just doesn't stay flat. It more like sticks up and just looks like I had to pull it really tight because it was too loose, but that's not the case. Maybe it would loosen up after wear them for awhile. Saw a sneak peak of a new sandal coming from Orthaheel in the magazine that I think looks similar. Not going to keep these for the price not absolutely loving them.

Not so good
I ordered these in the Ivory, largely because of the price. I have another pair of Orthaheel, and I love the way they support my feet. These fit fine, but the straps didn't lay very flat and stuck out rather than secure to the velcro. They made my feet look wide, too. Just not a good look for me.
