Great adjustable shoe - This sandal is very comfortable because it is adjustable at three places. The strap over the instep is almost too short for my foot, but it does manage to hook. It is a very comfortable sandal. Wore it to Aruba and walked everywhere in complete comfort.

Hold out for the right size - I usually buy my shoes from Zappos. Last summer Zappos didn't have the Aravon brand yet. I needed sandals to accommodate my orthotics. Our local store carried Aravon Katy. Their shoe repair guy said he would customize the fit. So. I bought the 8WW Katy locally. I needed the double wide in front. That worked great. But, the strap that adjusts across the instep was pulled as tight as it would go; but was still too big. I asked my shoe repair guy to adjust it. But he didn't listen. He shortened the end of one strap. Now I have expensive sandals that slop around my ankles when we dance (which gives me scary footing). Once they're customized; they cannot be returned. I should have held out for Zappos and kept trying to get the right size...rather than having them repaired. Foot pain is becoming a thing of the past with orthotics and fashionable shoes that accommodate them...when they are needed at the right price. Yes, we deserve a perfect shoe store...and, soon, Zappos will be it!!!

Great support - I am waiting until warm weather to wear them, but they support my foot, I wish they were more stylish though, but comfort is first for me.

About Aravon
One of the secrets behind Aravon's comfort is actually one you can throw away. Contoured, cushioned, and supportive, the Aravon footbed is completely removable. Why? So that you can use a pair of your own custom orthotics. Nonetheless, the Velocor® footbed remains an exquisite piece of engineering, tailored to each Aravon style. Full-length in some, three-quarter length in heels, the removable Velocor® footbed in every Aravon shoe is built to enhance comfort on many levels.
As part of the New Balance® family of brands, Aravon is all about fit. Every style is made on a naturally contoured last and comes in multiple widths and extensive sizes. We are a few seasoned shoe developers who believe that footwear should support a woman's sense of well-being as well as her sense of style. That's why we designed Aravon-casual footwear with remarkable fit, comfort, performance, and style. Ladies, it's time to vote with your feet.

I'm so glad I finally found sandals that sandals were made to accommodate people with foot problem that is not hideous. They are quite comfortable that I do not feel the need to swap the insoles with the one from my podiatrist. I just hope that Aravon will make more dressy shoes and sandals.

The Aravon Katy shoes feel great. They are very comfortable with great arch support. I have not had any problems with my heel pain wearing these sandals. The color (bronze) is also very cool and I have received lots of compliments. The only problem is that one of the shoes squeaks when I walk. It is very annoying when it is quiet otherwise.

Along with needing a wide shoe, I have several other foot issues so shoes have always been difficult to buy. I purchased several pairs of sandals in various widths and these were like comfy, broken in shoes the minute I put them on. The thicker sole makes walking in them very, very comfortable. (I practically live in heavy duty walking shoes, but that is not always appropriate footwear)! The adjustable straps make them easy to tighten or loosen where needed. Will consider another pair in different color. Just wish they weren't quite so pricey.

This shoe had to be great, was made with help from New Balance which makes the best walking shoes, thanks NB for coming up with this shoe, sure wish Zappos had more colors, I ordered the bronze but would like to have the tan. I have a very bad back and my legs hurt but these shoes help my back so my legs do not hurt as bad.
Brands I'd also recommend: Some of the Clarks but most of them have too high of heel for someone with back problems.

I LOVE these shoes -- they are comparable to wearing sneakers all day in terms of support and comfort. A day at the zoo or walking around sightseeing is just as comfortable as in athletic shoes - but with style!

I have back, leg and foot problems; this is the best sandal I have found. I wear New Balance all the time, sure was happy to locate this shoe and that it was engineered by NB.
Brands I'd also recommend: Anything made with the New Balance name.

The Katy shoe in bronze are great looking. I also have these in black and they are both very comfortable. The only problem is that they squeak! Otherwise they are a great shoe and very good for problem feet. Zappos surprised me and sent them overnight. Thank you for the excellent service!

This sandal has great support and is very comfortable but I was disappointed because I bought it for a sandal to wear when traveling and doing a lot of walking and when it is hot out the strap rubs on the top of my foot. I was hoping as they got broken in that it wouldn\'t happen any more, but it continues to be a problem. They are great if I am wearing them indoors in air conditioning or on a day when it isn\'t hot, but they don\'t serve the purpose for which I bought them.

I was having foot& problems, could hardly walk. I needed a sandal with good support. That would have been very hard to find in a 13 narrow but I went on line and had my shoe ordered in short time and it was delivered in exactly 26 hours from the time I ordered it. On top of that it was the comfortable shoe I needed. The fit, quality and service is AAAAA.

These sandals are exceptionally comfortable. The straps are adjustable. The sole beds are removable, if you use custom inserts. However, the removable sole beds that come with the sandals are very supportive as well. I originally purchased a pair in bronze, my preferred color. I decided to purchase black as well, because of the superior comfort, although stylistically they are not as good as the bronze color.

I bought my first pair of Aravon Katys for summer and wore them as my everyday walking shoe. They are great for travel because of the wonderful supportand they look feminine. I have gotten the black ones to use for winter and will likely wear them with socks so I can continue to have the comfort and support.\r\nLike others who have reviewed these shoes, I found the squeeking to be bothersome but finally learned to remove the insole and spray the underside with WD-40. Part of the secret to the shoes comfort seems to be the combination of pieces in the insole, but they do rub against each other. Putting WD-40 between the sections took care of the squeek!

I\'ve newly discovered this brand and love it. This sandal allows the foot to sit down inside of the cupped footbed and provides great arch support. It\'s waiting in my closet for next summer.

Great walking sandal! They are lightweight and the velcro adjustments are so useful to adjust the shoe fit during a long day of walking. Arch support is excellent. There are two problems I encountered: 1. They "squeak" significantly while walking. 2. As they get older, the black inner lining comes off on the feet.
Brands I'd also recommend: Dansko and Clarkes

It's a very well made shoe. I wanted a decent looking shoe with very good arch support. In my size (13) this is hard to find. Being black leather, they look nice enough to wear for work but still casual for play clothes. This shoe doesn't have as much arch support as I was hoping for, but better than nothing. The nice thing is the insole can be removed if you have your own orthotics that you want to use. All three straps have velcro so they can be adjusted for differences in your feet.

Incredibly comfortable. Provide support, comfort. Love the adjustable straps. Walked all over on concrete and my feet didn\'t hurt! And they look better than most shoes I find comfortable. Highly recommend.
