Really strange thong strap location
I have many orthotic-type shoes, name beginning in B, which are also sold on QVC. My feet don't hurt, but I do have knee problems. The sale pitch on Orthaheel shoes sounded like it would solve all foot and knee problems, so gave a try. I started wearing them in short time periods. The shoe bed felt OK, but I didn't feel any increase of comfort in my feet and knees, versus my current orthotic-type shoes. The location of the thong strap caused sores on my 2nd toe, even though I fit correctly in the shoe bed. I have many thong sandals from many brands, and only the Orthaheel sandal has the thong strap in a different position (closer to the middle). I either got a defective sandal, or this sandal is only for a narrow foot, or this sandal is built for a foot with a big 1st toe, and small 2nd to 5th toes (maybe an Austratlian foot). I spent so much time trying to figure out what was wrong with these sandals that I passed the time to return. I am now stuck with pretty and expensive but worthless sandals. I will not try Orthaheel again.

Love!
I love orthaheel shoes. I have MS, and I know my feet, mind, body, and soul feel better with a pair on. I purchased two pairs of the cocoa style sandals. Simply love them like the rest of my orthaheel collection.

Disappointed
I LOVE Orthaheel and own more than 20 pairs but I am so disappointed that I had to send these back because they are so narrow and too long. I have had to send others back at times. Orthaheel please get your sizing right . Why does every pair feel like it's sized differently. I am hesitating ordering new products now because of the inconsistent sizing of your shoes.The reason I still gave it 2 stars is because I thought they were pretty

Uncomfortable toe strap
First pair of ortho shoes that I've tried. The footbed was comfortable but the toe strap was very uncomfortable. I wear flip flops often and usually have no problem with the toe area. I was hoping for a cute sandal that would decrease my back pain. I think the orthotic footbed would have been great if not for the ill fitting straps around the toe. I am returning them.

I WANT THEM IN EVERY COLOR
Got the blue.....love them and the footbed looks like it won't show the wear. I do have a more narrow foot and you can tighten or loosen Velcro strap across the top of foot.These are by far my favorite Orthaheels. I am coming back for more colors. I wear an 8 and it really fits. The reason I mentioned footbed was that some of the Orthaheels I bought in the past have a brown cork looking footbed that really shows wear. Glad they have changed it. Thanks Q. Another hit with Bnana in Tx.

Hugs for your feet
I ordered up instead of down because Ian said they were narrow and am so glad I did. They feel like they are hugging my feet with every step. Just ordered a second pair. Highly recommend. ********** (10 stars)

Unbelievably comfortable!
Bought these to take on my first cruise, hoping they would be comfortable. Well, they were the best shoe I could have worn! I forgot I was wearing them as I walked for hours around the islands we visited. I am really impressed that a sandal could look cute and be soooo comfortable! Today, I'm shopping for a second pair! The icing on the cake were the compliments that I received!

Great Shoe
I have narrower foot than normal and these shoes fit!!! I am also flat footed and this is one of the most comfortable shoe ever!!! I have this shoe in the bronze and black and wish the natural wasn't sold out in my size. I also have the Allegre Orthotic Thong listed below and love them.

loove
I bought the bronze it has a nice brown look. This is a great sandal if you like thongs but need more stay put coverage. I actually purchased a size 7 I range from size 7.5-8. I have other orthaheels in size 8 but they say to size down if you are a half size. I bought the 7's since size 8 was sold out in bronze and I am very happy. I guess I can get away with both. I did notice that with the size 7's they don't make the flip flop noise. I am an orthaheel girl and love all of my purchases. Keep the great styles and colors coming!! I recommend Orthaheel to anyone with feet problems and those that don't think they have foot problems. They are cute so why not!

Sizing off on this style
I am a fan of Orthaheel shoes and loved the snakeskin version of this style. As usual, I ordered a size down from my usual shoe size and these do not fit the way other Orthaheel shoes fit me. I have avg. width feet but find that my little toe hangs off the edge and I have too much space between the end of my toes and the front of the shoe. I think it would fit better if the toe bar was a bit forward on the shoe - my pinky toe would hit at the widest part of the shoe and I wouldn't have so much open space at the front of the shoe. I want to try a larger size but fear that I'll have even more space at the front of the shoe :(
