Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Orthaheel.
Developed by Australian podiatrist Phillip Vasyli, Orthaheel® footwear is designed to help restore the natural foot function and well-being with every step. Our feet were designed to walk on soft, natural surfaces like soil and sand. Yet today we spend most of our time standing, walking and running on unnatural, hard surfaces. Unnatural surfaces force the feet to roll over to gain contact with the ground, which flattens the arches. The flattening of the arch can disrupt normal knee function and hip alignment.

This loss of our "footprint" has resulted in a variety of pain and injuries affecting not just the feet, but the entire body. The Orthaheel mission is to help people reclaim their natural alignment to enable their feet, ankles and knees to function as they naturally would. With men’s and women’s silhouettes ranging from flip-flops, slides, slippers to even lace-up sneakers, Orthaheel offers an array of styles that will keep you comfortable and aligned on any adventure you choose.

Let me tell you about the fit. They run wide, not long. Unlike my feet. On previous reviewer's recommendation, I ordered a size 6, in black, instead of my usual 7. Too short. Today its replacement, (black not available) size 7 Berry Zebra, arrived. It is very wide but a true size 7 in length. Now let's talk color. Berry is not the pinkish red shown in the photo, but mauve. Smoky pale magenta. The fabric is not as fleecy as the black, and probably the tan, but some slightly napped inexpensive synthetic covering. I don't care one bit! Now to function. My back hurts less. My shoulders even hurt less. My hips and, most notably, sacroiliac, hurt less when I walk. I don't mind that I look like a stick figure with upholstered duck feet. If anyone complains, I will redirect them to my strikingly improved mood. Now to plans. When wonderful Zappos and I figure out which of the Orthaheel sandals I have on order will fit, all other usable sandals (e.g., Birks, Naots) will be donated to the homeless shelter. I look forward to actually being able to take walks again. Deo gratias.

Arch support in this slipper is so hard it pushes your foot off to the side when you walk. I can't wear them.

I saw these in open toed on the shopping network for the same price (and that was their special). I got online to Zappos to see if they had them and they did, and even closed toed. Knowing the excellent customer service that Zappos has and always quick shipping, I ordered from them. I finally broke in the slippers, they have a very firm inner support, so don't expect plush. But my feet use to hurt bare foot or in my other slippers on our hard floors walking around doing chores on my days off. I put these on and after getting use to them I notice a huge difference in how I feel. I don't have the pain I use too. Also the outer sole is nice in case I have to step outside. No fuzzy close to the ground to get dirty. Personally i love the product and as always Zappos has the best customer service that I have ever came across and I even work in customer service.

I'd also recommend: my teenagers love their DC shoes. Other brands too. We don't even buy shoes at our local store anymore, only at Zappos.

Excellent arch support, nice heel cup, great style, cute pattern! I typically wear a size 9 and based on other Orthaheel slipper reviews I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly!

Run big; Usually wear a 10 and this was a half size too large. Was too wide as well.

I have plantar fasciitis and needed a slipper with support. This slipper has good arch support, is comfortable, and roomy. I may purchase another pair in one of the fun colors. I love this slipper!
