Disappointed
I really like orthaheels sandals, but not this one. The tan color was fine, but the material seemed cheap. The edges of the material on the upper was rough and uncomfortable. The toe bar caused a red area on my foot and was also rough. The footbed was comfortable. I have a narrow/med width foot so it was fine. If you have wide feet this is not the shoe for you. Sadly, they are being returned.

don't like the tan color
This shoe fit great but I ordered the tan and didn't like the color when it arrived. It was too yellow and just didn't look right. The shade is off and it made the shoe look cheap. Too bad because I need a new brown Orthaheel sandal and I ended up returning the TSV in brown too because it wasn't quite right either (too much color and pattern in that one). I have a lot of Orthaheels and love love love them, but I really need a nice rich brown color, please!!

Love these sandals!
I wore these all last summer and they are so comfortable. They did turn black from my feet but I found they cleaned up with a little dish soap and brush. After cleaning they looked brand new again.
I am going to order another pair for this summer. I purchased a pair for my daughter and she is going to order more too.

Love them; order down, not up
I love these; usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 and I ordered a size 10 - should have ordered a size 9. Important so the arch fits your foot.

Love but Need to return, foot odor
I love these sandals. So cute and feminine. Super comfortable was so excited to have them. After the first few hours I wore them I noticed a foot imprint stain- where my toes and heels stained the fabric black- like they had been worn 500 times, I thought well, maybe it wont get any darker. I wore these for 2 days straight and the heel turned darker and awful black and my foot began to stink!!! There was a permant black imprint of my big toe and heel. And no I dont have dirty feet! I didnt get the shoes dirty either. The soles are made of this fabric type material that darkerns and hold smells. Regretfully I am returning but I would love to try another Ortho Heel.

Upper gave me a blister
I purchased the TSV sandal with the big silver O ring and returned those but thought I'd give these a chance (the blue flower footbed). I wore them for a few hours each day and then took them to Italy. After a half hour of walking I got a blister on the top of my foot towards the back of the thong (toes were fine). I wear Haviana's and other flips alot (I live at the beach) and was looking forward to the support of Orthaheel. I guess the cut of the straps on both styles is not going to work for my feet. Too bad as they are really cute! Still love my Birk's and new Merrell flips (which were perfect on cobblestones in Italy). I wear a size 6 and the size was correct and I do have a slight high arch.

Ouch...Made Foot Pain Worse
I bought these back in the late spring and wanted them to help with the foot pain I've been experiencing when wearing regular flip flops, but I found the soles of my feet hurting even more when I wore these for extended periods of time. I followed the directions to gradually increase the length of time spent in the shoes but was never satisfied. Footbeds were extremely hard. The actual fit was fine (I wear a 10M with some bunion issues). Just donated them to Goodwill. I am a loyal QVC customer and rarely am disappointed with the products I purchase, but this was not for me.

Good arch support
I tried 3 of different Orthaheel products this summer and waited until now to write my comments. Of the 3 styles I like this one the best. The sole seems more flexible than the other 2 styles and it has a side opening which I can adjust to fit my foot.

Tight between the toe and top of my foot.
I am fairly new to the Orthaheel brand, probably because I never had Plantar Faciitis until now. So far, I have purchased two pair of the Tide sandals and they have been lifesavers! They required no break in time at all, seriously, I could not live without them! I thought the Lara would be a little dressier and I needed something in black. For some reason, this shoe hurts between my toes. I am sending these back because I'm afraid that even if I wear them a day or two, they still are going to be too tight between the toes and probably rub a blister. By the way, my foot is a little on the narrow side - so this surprised me really. Other than that, they are really cute and I hate to have to send them back. So glad there are so many other styles to choose from, definitely gonna try another Orthaheel style.

Wore these on European Cruise!
I cannot express how much I LOVE these shoes. I took 4 pairs of sandals on an Italian cruise last week. I ended up wearing these EVERYDAY! Walking around on all the cobblestone streets and I had no problems whatsoever! I ordered these in black and could wear them with shorts, dresses and my bathing suit. I wore them in the ocean swimming over the rocky beaches...they did get some salt residue, but I just wore them in the shower and they came out like new! I am planning on ordering alot more....I used to only wear Birkenstocks but found them so clunky even though they were fashionable...they also dried out my feet. These soles are great as they don't dry my feet like other shoes. LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes....

Exactly what I expected but ........
After wearing them for a short period of time I noticed that the velcro section on the outside of the band started to irritate my skin to the point that I had to take them off. Unfortunately I had to return them.

Pretty But Painful
I bought a different pair of Orthaheel thongs for my sister and she loved them, so I sent her these also. She was so disappointed because they hurt. The placement of the strap is awkward,not a good fit, she said. She is returning them and I have ordered more of the original pair I sent her. I was sorry to see these did not work. They are so pretty.
