Great shoe. Footbed is a little hard but great arch support. Wool is soft warm and fuzzy! Love the purple. These run WIDE. I always wear an 11/42. Went down to a 10/41 in these. I have true size 11 med/wide feet. I'm wearing these to work!

I love Orthaheel - except the fact that the women's styles seem to be so narrow. As someone with true flat feet, I haven't found a ladies style that is wide enough - until this slipper. They almost run too wide - weird that there is such a difference between styles. I love having a comfy shoe to wear in the house - sometimes they head out the door for quick errands too. Definitely worth the money.

This is a great shoe for people with long wide toes and narrow heel. The toe box is nice and wide, with lots of room to wiggle the toes. The top strap adjusts for those of us with low arches, we can put it on the tightest hole, and it will stay on the foot. The arch support is really great for fallen arches and those of us who pronate. It's quite cute, and has just enough of a sole that it could be worn as a casual shoe. In Seattle I can get away with wearing it to my office job.

Very cute style, Orthaheel, bravo! They do run pretty big so if you have some kind of leg instability, I would be careful wearing these (take your time when ambulating.) The strap tightens enough to get them snug making them somewhat safer.
Very soft and comfortable with and without socks.

The support is wonderful! The style and color are not me at all, but I need to wear support around the house and these shoes fit the bill perfectly. The rubber sole is a nice touch for quick trips to the mailbox. When they wear out, I will most certainly buy another pair.

Great arch support and fits my foot like a dream. Very roomy, I mostly wear them with socks. Best slippers ever for my tired feet. Wonderful! I wish all shoes has an insole like this.

Oh how I hoped these shoes would work. The arch support is too much for my foot. Otherwise the shoe is great. Boiled wool is a wonderful fabric for shoes because it's thermal, cool in summer and warm in winter. Too bad

I bought these in a cute red color last year. I wear a 7-7.5 and ordered an 8 just in case I wore thick socks with it...and it's now a bit too large to wear with or without socks. I would stay close to your size and know these run very wide. I would exchange them for another size but have worn them already...too bad. Really well constructed and durable and great arch support.

I love these slippers. Can't wait to get into them at the end of the day. It took about a week to truly break them in and feel like they weren't too hard. I could feel they were forcing my ankles into a better position. But once I did, the arch support is great, as is the ability to make them tighter for bare feet and looser when I wear socks. I will definitely order these again.

These wool "slippers" are the best. They are indoor/outdoor shoes and are meant for the cooler weather. I wear them all winter and any nights that are cool. They are so comfortable with the famous Orthaheel arch support. Zappos is the only place I order shoes from. Their no charge delivery/returns, great selection, and impressive customer service keeps me returning again and again.

These shoes do run large as other reviewers have stated. I ordered my usual size 7, but they are too long. The width, however, is perfect for me! I have freakishly wide feet and these are the first pair of shoes I have ordered from Zappos that are actually wide enough (even all of the EE I have ordered have been too tight). The next size down is out of stock and I am so sad. These shoes are a bit aging hippie but for someone who can't be too choosy, they are cute! I was planning to wear them as shoes rather than slippers. I like the foot bed and arch. I am used to wearing shoes that have good arch support, so this does not bother me.

Very sophisticated style in my opinion. They look good with dress pants even! Bought them to help support my knee since I need arch support. It took a day or 2 to get used them, but they do get more comfortable as I wear them. They are roomy feeling.

I bought these to use as slippers around the house. My knee was aching some after doing a sporting activity I hadn't done for a while since ACL surgery and it seemed that the lack of arch support in my slippers and my feet naturally pronating was exacerbating my knee pain. These are just the ticket! Excellent arch support and very comfortable. They are roomy around the ball of the foot, but not excessively wide. Allow for nice toe wiggle room. I normally wear a 9 1/2 to 10, but a 9 in these fit just right. Since other reviews said they run large, I ordered an 8 at the same time to try both on, but the size 8 was a little too short , so am returning those (Thanks Zappos) I have long, low volume feet with a narrow heel and medium width at the ball of the foot, and I have the strap on the smallest hole. I may need to have another hole added at a shoe repair since the wool has stretched just a bit, but will gladly do this if they stretch any more. They are not too sloppy though and I can wear them with or without socks. I love the natural materials: wool and cork. The style is not bad. Didn't look quite as cute on my feet as the pictures, but it has grown on me. These could also be worn as shoes outside, but I want to keep the sole clean for indoor use, so will just use them as slippers. Will definitely consider buying other Orthaheel shoes. Thanks for the great service Zappos!

It's so great to have a pair of slippers that support my feet. I have had a problem with plantar fascitis for the last year.

Great arch support super comfortable! May run a little on the large/wide side. I ordered in my typical size but I have to wear these with socks for a perfect fit.

Pregnancy left me with collapsing arches, tailor's bunions and over pronation. I thought I was just getting a baby out of the deal! Anyway, these slippers reduce the pain of all of this and I noticed less back pain right away. My ankles are normally weak but the support is good enough where I can fearless carry my ever larger child. The slippers are warmish but I do wear them with socks comfortably during winter. I normally wear a solid 8.5 but the 8 worked perfectly since my heel sits solidly against the back. Width isn't really an issue for fit because of the adjustable strap. Stylewise I agree with another reviewer of this brand that they are somewhere between aging hippie and...I forgot...let's say humorless nurse. This particular model is basic enough that I don't have to avoid eating sugarless granola in fear of completing the look though.

This is a great slipper for indoor use. Fit: it runs large -- like a slipper should. If you take a AA size, you probably can't wear this shoe, and if you have a really wide beefy foot you might have to use thin or no socks with them. They do run long; I wear a 10 1/2 B and I ordered the 10 which is roomy on my foot. If you need support under your arch, then these will work. If you don't like a highly contoured insole, then these aren't for you. Nor are they overly soft. But for those of us who need support, these are really good. I am wearing mine with socks, and began wearing them as soon as I opened the Zappos box. Good service as always from Zappos. Thanks guys!

I love these slippers. They are comfortable, roomy, and very supportive. They are feminine as well. I am a size 9 and the 9 fit perfectly. They are not tight like most shoes/slippers and I believe that this is what makes them so comfortable. They do take a little while to get used to as I believe most of us have been wearing the wrong shoes our whole lives! At first I thought "Oh, these are too big." I wore them around the house for an hour or so and then realized they were awesome. I forgot I had them on. I then put my old slippers on and realized how amazing the Fiesta is. There was no comparison...I immediately threw my old slippers in the garbage! I am ordering a pair for my mom. Give them a try!

These run big for me, I'm going to trade for the next size down. Otherwise I love them. The wool has a slight strechy give.

I loved these slip-ons. But after wearing occasionally around the house for a few months, the rivet on the buckle pulled through the material leaving them unwearable. So I was forced to return them. I haven't decided if I want to chance it happening again and reorder them because I really did like them.

Fiesta is called a slipper but is stylish enough for casual wear. Disappointed they don't come in a narrow width as medium is a tad too wide. Will have to return. Would recommend this shoe to family and friends for style and great arch support.

These shoes, though slightly hard, are extremely comfortable and supportive. At first they felt a bit too big, but after wearing them around the house for a little bit, I realize the footbed fits perfectly - it seems to mold perfectly to my feet - they're just a little wide. For around the house, that doesn't seem to matter, they seem perfect. My feet never felt better. But I might order a size smaller just to see if it makes it a bit snugger (since the strap didn't do much). I feel the looseness I feel now may make it tricky walking at faster pace once outside the house...and they're so comfortable I want to wear them outside the house! These were my first pair of Orthaheels and I just ordered two other styles because of these shoes. I highly recommend them.

Not the greatest style but the best I've seen as far as orthopedic shoes go. I'm really happy with them. I'm a salesmen and on my feet for at least 8 hours a day if not more. Oh, and by the way, I have plantar fasciitis and they have been helping me out a lot. I use to have pains from the star of my shift and have to have breaks more often because of how painful my feet felt. My doctor introduced me to this brand and now I have 3 pairs by this brand and the soreness is disappearing and I'm only on day 4 awesome shoes!
