Pretty sandal, but not up to the Orthaheel structure I need. If you want just average support this is a great pick, but I need a more sturdy footbed. This one is much softer and lighter. I really wanted this to work, but it must go back. Also it was a tad narrower than my other Orthaheels I own. Zappos is the best!

I have a pair of Orthaheel Tide flip flops that I adore. The arch support in those is the best I've ever felt and the anti-pronation footbed is amazing. I have a ton of foot pain from plantar fasciitis and my Tides are perfect. These just don't measure up and I really wanted them to because they're cute. The arch support just isn't the same and I don't feel the anti-pronation thing going on either. And as other reviewers have stated, they're narrow. The edge of my foot actually hits the edge of the footbed rather than sitting comfortably inside it. If they had the same awesome arch support and anti-pronation positioning as my other Orthaheels amd were cute, they'd be worth the price. For me, these aren't even close.

These shoes are narrow, which fits the width of my foot, but the strap is too loose. The buckle if for decoration only. These would be so much better with an adjustable strap.

Love these shoes. I have plantar fasciitis, nerve damage, tendinitis, cysts, and tarsal tunnel. I have seen such a huge improvement pain wise. I can walk for longer periods of time and stand as well. Best thing I have ever spent my money on! Cant wait to buy more!

A little dressier than most, these shoes are also very comfortable to wear all day. The sole is soft and springy but molded to keep your arches in the correct position. I will live in these shoes come summer!

Good arch support for those of us who need it. Look cute on, too; not orthopedic! The straps were a little hard at first, but they loosened up after wearing a couple of times. I would not recommend for wide feet, however. Mine are narrowish and they fit me well - not too sloppy as some "comfort shoes" tend to be on me. I also found that the leather thong is more comfortable than the ribbon material on some other Orthaheels.

I'm a Birkenstock gal. Ever since I developed plantar fasciitis in 2010, I've worn Birks almost exclusively. They helped me heal, and have kept me well. I started to feel the need for a little change, something a little softer, cuter, something to hold my heel a little differently, so I ordered two othaheel sandals. This one was great although oddly, the other, more classic orthaheel didn't work for me at all.
This sandal is sexy on, and the buckle is adjustable. In the default position I got no support. One position tighter on the buckle and I'm very comfortable. My knees are aligned differently than in the birks, and the footbed is much softer. I love the shoe.

Such a nice contoured footbed. I'm usually a 6.5, but got a 6 - perfect. Actually the sandal itself is loose - but that's fine (I'm normal width). Nice quality.

Just got home from a warm vacation and finally had the chance to wear these. When I first put them on the support was so good that it felt strange and stiff but the more I walked around the better and better they felt. I have peroneal tendinitis and usually need to have supportive lace up shoes but these did wonderfully! I will be purchasing in black as well.

I have to agree with the other reviewers who found this footbed too narrow. I also did not find it that supportive or comfortable considering what I was expecting from Orthaheel. As always, Zappos was awesome for delivery and service.

I was so excited when I received these sandals. Loved the support the only reason I'm sending them back is that the straps are too loose my feet moved side to side. Wish the straps were tighter.

I was really impressed with how cute these are and didn't look orthotic. I wore them for several hours and couldn't believe how much my feet hurt. These were not my first pair of Orthaheels, but the others I have no problem with. This pair did not provide the arch support that I need and by the end of the day I had to switch back to a different pair. Zappos was amazing at taking them back.

I am so disappointed with these shoes. I was excited to see that Orthaheel is finally coming out with cute leather sandals, but I have narrow feet and these are too narrow.

The Dr. Weil brand of Orthaheel runs more narrow and the arch hits too far forward. LOVE the designs though.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable. Of course, I love Orthaheel, and I own 6 other Orthaheel sandals. The best shoe I have ever had for relief of heel spurs and ankle pain.

These shoes fit perfectly. Lots of arch support. More than I'm used to and really feel it. I'm sure after a while I won't even notice it. I'm looking forward to the great arch support helping my knees feel better. And hopefully my hips too.

I had to order one size up since they don't offer half sizes. Even though it's a bit bigger than I would have liked, it's still very comfortable. I have been having troubles with my right foot and need some more support, and I wear these nearly all the time now, as my foot doesn't hurt after wearing them like other shoes. I'm considering a second pair in black...just wish they offered half sizes! I've marked that it feels true to size since it's definitely a size 10.

I've bought other Orthaheel sandals, and these hold to the same true quality and foot support as its predecessors. They look stylish as well as providing superior arch and heel support. With my feet problems, this is the only brand that I can wear pain-free. Love 'em!

I have returned to teaching and, of course, being on my feet all day. As a result, I have developed plantar problems. After doing some research into recommended brands for these issues, I decided to try Orthaheel sandals. I kid you not, these shoes have completely resolved my heel pain! They cup your heel and provide excellent arch support! I have narrow feet and they are a bit loose but, I'll take that over pain any day! Excruciating heel pain is now a thing of the past for me. I bought this style in navy, brown and black. Because of my complete satisfaction with this brand, I have just ordered two more pairs of Orthaheel sandals in different styles. Happy feet, happy life!

Very cute sandal and can tell it would have good support. However, It seems it is more narrow on the side of the big toe and more space on the right side. Love it but not for the price.

I like the looks of this shoe, and the arch support is great. Although I do have a narrow foot it is too wide for me--I used the buckel to tighten it but it wasn't enough. I'm breaking them in and I think they will be fine for the summer.

I actually order this sandal in 3 colors and think they are beautiful sandals. For the most part, they are very comfortable. The only thing I may have trouble with, is the strap that goes between the toes. One pair seemed to hurt there, but I may get this gel pad from Footsmart catalog to put in between the toes.
