Love them! I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit and are comfortable and that don't hurt my back. These were great out of the box. The first time I wore them, I didn't want to take them off. I have very narrow feet and typically wear custom orthotics. The velcro on these fit my narrow feet and the support is great without my orthotics. No back pain - hurray!

Best shoe on the market - Best shoe for lots of walking. And the insole can be changed after wearing for a year or so and then they feel like new shoes again... great feature.

Love these shoes - I found these shoes a couple of years ago. They are the only shoes I can wear with comfort. I now have a good looking shoe to wear to work. Zappos sent them to me pronto. Great service. BKL

Zappos is an excellent company to do business with! As for my adorable Portland 7WW Softspots, I will need to return them and I am not happy about that. PROBLEM: If the straps had come out from under the footbed instead of being sewn down to the footbed, then all would be well in my world. That little bit of distance makes these adorable shoes not a WW for me. Reddish marks are appearing on the sides of my feet and the irritation hurts. Obviously, this way of sewing straps to the shoe is something I need to be aware of when I check out the shoe photos.

Sandal I can't live without nowadays! After years of running and jumping I have found that my ankle is a mess and my last bike wreck really made foot pain a part of my life. I went looking for shoes and found that Finn Comfort was the BEST! I have my old ones on right now and have saved my Zappos order for 'my dress up' shoes. They don't look so orthopedic that you cringe and with their comfort you feel like you can keep moving in these while with others it is just too painful. Thanks to Zappos for delivering the new ones so fast.

Reviewer: from Maryland
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (4 Stars)
Comfortable, but not miraculous - I'm a 51-year-old woman with flat feet and I was looking for a very supportive, comfortable sandal to wear traipsing around Italy in the summer. I've actually just returned from Italy, where I spent lots of time on my feet, standing in line, walking around old ruins and on rough pavement, etc. The verdict is--these sandals are comfortable for the first couple of hours, but after that you definitely feel like there's not enough support and padding. If you are just buying them to wear puttering around the house or to the mall for an hour or two, they would probably be plenty comfortable. But if you are going to be on your feet all day, you'll still end up with tired, aching feet at the end of the day (at least if you have flat feet like I do). The straps are pretty comfortable and can be easily adjusted, and I never once got a blister from them in Italy, so that's a point in their favor. But for the price, I was hoping for a more cushy shoe.

Finn Shoes are tops in quality and comfort. I wear orthopedic insoles for overpronation and have plantar fasciitis. When I wear Finn Shoes I eliminate those insoles since the arch support is so great. I have yet to find another branch of such high quality. Finn, keep up the good work. (How 'bout more 'dressy' shoes with your wonderful low heels?)

Disappointed - I was real happy to receive my first pair of Finns, but every time I put them on and walk for a few minutes, my feet hurt so bad that I end up taking them off and putting on another pair of shoes.

Great sandal - I have tried all the top line sandals and these are the best. They even surpass my SAS sandals and that's hard to do. Arch support superb, no blistering, can wear all day! I bought my first pair at a specialty store and was glad ZAPPOS stocks them! They fit me 1 size shorter than normal and the fit is perfect. ZAPPOS is also the best online store for purchase, return, and selection!

First pair of Finn shoes - Great Finn sandals. Tried several other styles, but no other Finns fit as well as theses did. Love them and dressy looking, too!

Very comfortable - This is my second pair of this shoe. I also have it in tan. I have problems finding a shoe that does not hurt my feet, especially walking any distance. I would highly recommend this shoe for comfort and style.

Great for recovered plantar fasciitis patients - Am on my third pair in 10 years. Very adjustable to a narrow foot. Wonderfully comfortable.

Finn comfort Rocks!!! I Love Finn Comfort. I have 2 pair of Jerseys, and want the wine and possibly the white. first time ordering the Stilt, and I think they are great. Figured the heel is a tad lower, and would be good to walk in. Very comfortable. I doubt if I will buy any other shoe besides Finn, as they raise the standard. Try them! You and your feet deserve the best. And Zappos is the BEST!!!

Wonderful shoe - I have weak arches, and these shoes give me wonderful support without using my orthotics. They are expensive... but worth every penny.

Love this shoe. I bought it originally for the color -- denim blue. Then discovered how comfortable it is. I'm buying a second pair for a nurse's aide who has been so delightfully fun and kind to my husband who has Parkinson's disease. She's admired mine so much, I can't think of a better way to show my appreciation. She's on her feet a lot; I know she'll love them. And I LOVE Zappos. Fantastic customer service!

Great shoe! Nice looking, comfy shoe. Excellent arch support! Removable footbed works great. I sometimes use a leg/ankle brace. The footpad fits right under the footbed of the shoe.

Finally! A walking shoe with support and comfort. I am a large woman who travels a lot. I normally have to wear athletic shoes with my plastic inserts in order to have enough arch support for comfort. I have bought so many pairs of shoes in an attempt to find a sandal-type shoe with high arch support, wide width, and comfort. I bought this shoe in desperation at the last minute before a 10 day vacation to Canada. I was worried that I'd get blisters and hurt with these new shoes, but I took them anyway. This shoe was a miracle. No blisters from the start, a cool foot, great arch support, adjustable width, and comfort. A home run! Will probably buy a few pairs for the future.
