Cute, narrower than other Orthaheels and comfy, but the whole shoe feels like plastic (it's not leather upper) and would make my feet sweat in the humid southern heat. Returning! For this price the upper really should be leather.

I ordered 3 different styles from Orthoheel and each one fits completely different. These felt like a 9--but a bit larger than another style 9 that I tried from Orthoheel (do I sound like Goldilocks?

Overall a good pair of thongs. Look nice on my daughter's feet. The material between the toes is not as comfortable as it can be.

Great shoe once it is broken in a bit. Love all the Orthaheel products since I have plantar fasciitis - they support my high arches and enable me to be on my feet all day without pain. My only complaint is that for the price, the uppers should be leather. It would make the shoes even more comfortable. My first pair was "Tide", and since it has a cloth strap, is my most comfortable Orthaheel.

Orthaheel has the best arch support of any brand out there. I have sesamoiditis and joint probelms and I can feel my weight immediately shift off of the ball of my foot when I put these on. They are also very supportive and do not bend easily. Super cute too! Only complaint is the bed of the shoe is a little hard, wish they would improve the cushioning. Still great shoe.

Did not care for these. I ordered a few Orthaheel products in one order, never having tried this brand before. In comparison to the other shoes, these definitely ran on the narrow side. I tend to measure on the narrower end of a B width and these sandals were perfect, so if you have a wider B width foot or wide foot in general, these may not work for you. Also, the foot bed was just so hard! I might have eventually gotten used to it, but I found the nubby circles on the footbed to be irritating to my toes. Also, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear and they were a perfect fit in length. Did not keep these.

I discovered Orthaheel 3 years ago, have four pair and wear these sandals all summer long. I have very narrow feet, flat feet with bunions--and I am not willing to suffer for style anymore. I am normally a size 9, but size down one full size in sandals that don't have a narrow fit. I have these in an 8, and they are perfect. I wear these with my Eileen Fisher clothing. Total comfort and style. And Zappos is incredible as everyone attests for prompt delivery, usually overnight, help, and refunds. They make big business socially responsible.

The fit on this shoe is different from my Orthaheel Tide sandals. I have lived in my Tides for the past few years and love them. I was excited to try another style but am disappointed that the footbed on these sandals is much more narrow. They are being sent back in exchange for another pair of Tides.

I love the Orthaheel brand because of their arch support, and this shoe has become my new favorite. I ordered the gold metallic in a size 9 (I wear a 9 1/2 - 10 medium) and the fit is perfect. This one will not work for a wider foot, as it's snugly comfortable for my medium width feet. The little elastic insert allows the foot to flex, which is nice. I do wish they would use soft leather for the uppers and a nice suede lining for the footbed, (I'd gladly pay more for that pleasure). But until they do, I'll continue buying the man-made material ones, because for me, it's all about the firm support for my arches. I do wish there would be more info provided by the manufacturer regarding denoting which of their shoes are for narrow, medium, or wide feet, as there can be some differences with the different styles. And as usual, Zappos is the absolute best in processing and shipping their orders promptly!

These are certainly better than most thong sandals, but they do cause my plantar fasciitis to flare up if I wear them for the whole day. I have to put on my sneakers with Powerstep inserts if I go to the store or walk the dog. These are decent for chilling out at home, but awfully expensive for use as slippers.

I really like these sandals! I wear 7-7 1/2 and got the 7. I have flat, but narrow feet, so I hang off some sandals, while not being able to keep them on. These have wide soles and "grips", plus fairly close-fitting straps, so they fit me well. They are not leather, so they shouldn't stretch out. We'll see. So far, so good. Thanks, Zappos!

I received these today in the gold metallic. I wear a size 10½ so I ordered an 11. They fit perfectly! I have had surgery for plantar fasciitis. I have still been in severe pain and found out yesterday that I have to have another surgery! When I put these on this morning I was ecstatic! They feel wonderful! I am a hairdresser and I worked in these all day the first day. No breaking in was necessary! I was wearing Birkenstocks and these Orthaheels feel so much better. I am not crazy about the fake wood looking sole, but they are cheaper and better looking than other shoes made for plantar fasciitis sufferers! I will definitely be buying other styles and colors!

I usually wear a 7 1/2 to 8. I was able to go to a 7 in this shoe. Amazingly comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and no complaints in this shoe - very supportive.
