This is one of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I have alot of back trouble and i decided to order these and they actually help with the pain. I am going to order another pair soon in white.

I love these sandals. They have lots of support and look good, too!

I purchased this pair after the soles on my grey and black Orthaheel pair wore too thin. I give this particular pair 4 stars because the strap is too loose over the top of my feet (I have average shaped feet). My black and grey pair fit perfectly. As with my other pair, the arch support is excellent and is the reason I purchased them - great for plantar fasciitis. And with both, I wear a size 11, but size 12 is the correct length with this brand. A full size off.

Too stiff and masculine looking and didn't like the nubby bottoms against my feet. From the picture, it looked soft and smooth but there are raised rubber circles, which I found irritating. As far as the arch support, it felt too high for me, but due to the other drawbacks, I wasn't prepared to give myself a proper chance to get used to it.

I was struggling with chronic plantar fasciitis for several years. I am a surgical assistant and spend several hours on my feet daily. I live in Florida where you basically have to wear sandals. I finally went to a podiatrist and after several foot injections, she recommended Orthaheel sandals. I tried them and was amazed. I have been through at least 50 sandals in my life and these are absolutely by far the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I just ordered my second pair. Sincerely, Mark RNFA.

I've had heel pain for nearly a year and thought I'd have to give up wearing flip flops for good... until I tried these! They are so comfortable and after only a few days, have nearly eliminated the pain! I'm buying another pair today!

This is the first flip flop I have ever bought, at least since I was about 7 years old. I see these other women wearing breezy, easy, flip-flops and all I can think is how my feet would ache with out any support. So my summers were spent as lady-sturdy-shoes, until this terrific flip flop came along. They look great on my size 12 foot and they have been my go-to shoe for support, comfort and ease. I slide my foot in and say ah.

Great flip flops, but they would be so much better if the insoles didn't have "bumps" on them. I have extremely sensitive feet due to medical issues, and the bumps really irritate the bottoms of my feet. On the positive side, they have awesome arch support!

I have wide feet and measure 7 1/2 in woman's size. I also have high arches, pronate, and wear orthotics with all my shoes and sneakers (so I was never able to wear flip-flops). I ordered the Kinetic unisex in Camel/Khaki in a women's 7,(men's 6) and the Tide in Bronze in a women's 7. As far as the size, both flip-flops are exactly the same. The Kinetic is heavier (9 oz) than the Tide (7 oz) and feels a bit sturdier. And the Kinetic feels like the arch is higher and the footbed seems firmer. The strap on the Kinetic is wider and is more casual, better for wearing with jeans. And the tide seems to go better with casual skirts. So, I love both of them and decided to keep both.

I wanted some flip flops for summer, but I have Plantar Fasciitis. After lots of research about footwear the Orthaheel name kept coming up. I figured I would buy them and if they didn't work out I could return them. All I can say is Wow, they are very comfortable and my feet feel very good wearing them. There is great support and I liked them so much I bought the athletic shoes. They are so much better feeling than the NB I was "married" to, and they don't look like orthopedic shoes. Love these shoes. I'm hooked.

After trying woman's sizes in this brand, then unisex, I finally found this one to fit my wide foot. I had to get a ten, though, and I normally wear an 8.5! I contacted the company to see if they had considered making woman's styles in wide, but they replied (promptly) that their market share isn't big enough for this yet. If you order some, let the company know that you're interested too. Help me out! The support in these seems better than my FitFlops and I'm wearing them constantly now that it's summer time. I have plantar fascia and these seem like a good solution for flip flops with good support.

This is a very comfortable shoe! I've been wearing it since I took it out of the box. The only thing that surprised me is that the strap is a little wider than I expected. Would definitely recommend it to others.

The perfect work around-the-house flip flop. My feet never feel tired or sore. My go-to shoe after a long day at work.

I got these because I have plantar fascia. They feel great but they are not a magic cure. They feel more supportive than any other sandal I have.

So torn on the rating. I can see where the footbed will be great for my plantar fascia (the pain diminished almost as soon as I put these on), but the strap between the toes is creating another problem. It seems to be much thicker than most thongs and quite uncomfortable, almost cutting into the top of my middle toe (and I'm very used to wearing flip flops). Plus, these are much more masculine than I had hoped. I thought that might be an issue with a unisex style. Bummer. Will return these and try a slide version from same company.

These sandals a a great find. They are light and they support very well. The width is wider than your average flip-flop so they worked well for me. That said I don't always have to buy a wide in a shoe. I am kind of in between a normal and a wide. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and am considering other Orthaheel sandals as a result.

These shoes are wonderful -- great arch support. I haven't been able to wear thongs for years, but these were comfortable right out of the box. They look great, too.

The padding makes them more comfortable that the Tides, and keeps them from rubbing various spots on your foot.
