Love This Shoe
I have never like thongs, but I love this shoe. I have narrow, flat feet and this shoe fits and feels great. I have 3 pair of Orthaheel and have just ordered 3 more pair today!

Cute but runs very very narrow
I was so excited to try this brand because I have Plntar fasc. and neuropathy. Well, I ordered 4 pairs and ALL were too tight across the top and very narrow. I do not have a wide foot so I don't get it. I did really like the foot bed because it felt like it would be very supportive. I will just stay with the birkis soft foot bed.Very disappointed and now I have to pay to ship back. I think I will stick with the free shipping shoe co when trying something new from now on.

Too tight across top of foot
These sandals are very pretty. I bought them to wear with summer dresses. I have found other sandals from this company to be very comfortable and able to be worn all day. However, this design is too tight across the top of the foot. The base of the sandal fits well. I have tried stretching the leather-like fabric to make them more comfortable. But now I wish I would have just returned them when I was able. Also the underside of this fabric is scratchy. The problem is with the construction/design. It is not a sizing issue. I bought my regular size - 9.

Disappointed
I loved these shoes, but must send them back because the piece across the top of the foot is too narrow. Odd, because the width of the foot bed is fine. I am a medium width and do not have a high in-step at all.

At first I Loved this sandal
But, the more I wore them the less support they gave. After about a month there just was not enough arch support. I got the gold color, and it was rather blah. It blended with my skin tone and the shoe disappeared on my foot. I was hoping for some bling. I was disappointed, overall with this shoe. Also, my feet sweat a little in the summer heat, and the footbed was wet and slippery, not very safe. I will stick with my Birkenstocks.

Great Shoes
I have been wearing these all summer. I broke my ankle a year ago and need support. I get lots of compliments. Way way cute!

Wood grain skin split
I ordered these last year and actually wore them very little as I have other supportive sandals I also wear. However after a recent wearing I noticed the wood grain skin had split along the front (toe) edge.
This was very disappointing given the small amount of wear and the cost of these sandals. I am now trying to figure out a way to seal the edges to prevent the wood grain from peeling off.
I have a narrow foot so I didn't have the fit problems that others have had but now I am very leery of orthoheels with any kind of faux finish/skin on them. (Incidentally - I love my "Tides". )

White Is Really Silver
There is way more metallic on these than white. Also fit a little too snug, but my previous orthoheels stretched a little sI over time might work if I liked the color. Too pricey to settle for silver when I wanted white.

Best Sandal Ever
This is my first Orthaheel Thong Sandal. I have to tell you though because they are not leather it does take some time to break them in. I take an 8 1/2 shoe normally so I ordered an 8 in this. Perfect fit. I have so many other sandals but this has been my #1 for this Summer.

Not for me
Not between the toes for me! Purchased the 1/2 size smaller as requested and still too long also. Others may like this style of shoe.

Love the sole....but soooo tight!
I waited what felt like forever for my shoes to arrive....my plantars faciitis has been killing me and I only have one pair of sandals with an orthopedic sole. The Allegre finally got here and I LOVE the comfort of the sole (they are exactly what I need to walk without pain) BUT the tops are so tight I'm afraid the fat from the top of my feet is going to pop through the little cut-out detail! I'm going to keep wearing them and hope they stretch out (since I'm so limited on what I have to walk in--and still look cute!) But I wish they were a bit looser. I even ordered a size up to an 8 (making the length on one seem a little long) but to walk without heel pain in sandals seems worth the tight squeeze...! I just wish I ordered an adjustable pair (like the Lara or Layla...) I will next time....!!
