Orthaheel Relax Slipper SKU: #7784869

I had high hopes for this slipper, after I ordered a size smaller than usual. But the strap across the top of my foot has stretched so much that I've just about run out of Velcro, to keep the strap connected. At this point, I'm beginning to feel they may cause me to trip. The material is soft, but doesn't make up for the design flaws and the price.

I really like Orthaheel, but these need some improvement. I found them to be very wide, a size long and too clunky for a slipper. Would love it if they made those changes!

I've had these about two weeks so I can't yet speak to their longevity. I can speak to the time it takes to get used to them. Like any new "orthotic" - as the foot bed of this slipper mimics - it takes time for the body to adjust to the change at the foundation (under your feet). The first day I could only wear them for a short while. Each day for about a week I was able to increase that time. But I will say it was a full week before my back adjusted to the (positive) change in support to my feet and so my lower back ached for that full week. So give yourself time to adjust... anytime you change something "foundationally" that adjustment time is necessary. Now, after two weeks, I'm loving the support. I work from home so I wear these more often than I wear most shoes.

I like the arch support on the shoes as it is good to use in the kitchen when standing quite awhile cooking/cleaning. Since it was decided as a spa slipper, it has the velcro top, which I don't enjoy since it could come off easily, and I would have to adjust it again. When I adjust it, I have to give it a few try to get back to the comfort level, so it doesn't give me a truth fit for proper support of the whole foot. Other than that, it is comfortable. My husband doesn't like heavy/bulky bottom for slipper, so he doesn't like it. So, if you're looking for light weight and soft slipper, you may not enjoy it.

When I am doing housework in bare feet I often end up with terrible pain in the arches of my feet. That sent me searching for slippers such as these. The endorsement by Dr. Andrew Weil helped sway me to pick these over other slippers. They were a bit more than I was planning on spending, but I don't regret the purchase. As long as I wear these around the house, my feet feel great. As others have said, these are not super fluffy, cushy slippers. These are supportive, and fairly firm. But if you're looking for support, then you don't want something that is too soft. These are perfect in that respect. I have fairly pudgy feet, and I have had to adjust the velcro top quite a bit to make them small enough that they stay on my feet. That makes me worry that if they stretch out much then I'll have to buy a new pair soon. I've had them about a month and haven't had to do anymore adjusting yet, though. I really wish that these came in plain black. It would really make up for how unattractive they are. As it stands, I got the leopard print thinking that it will not show wear as quickly as the light colors. As long as these last me at least 6 months, I will most definitely buy another pair when this pair wears out.

I have been having trouble with the heals of my feet and this slipper has been great. It takes the weight off the heal of your feet. Sometimes I forget and I go out in them and they are so comfortable.

I have been searching for the perfect house slipper that works well with my chronic PF. This is the shoe! I usually wear a 7 1/2 and ordered a 7. Can't walk around my house without it now. Thank you Zappos!

I got them because I can't walk barefoot in my house any more because of ball of the foot pain. They provide arch support. I wish I had gotten one size smaller, but it is too late to exchange them now. They are okay. I like the cute leopard print.

These were nice, but like several people have commented, it is hard to get them fastened tightly enough to stay on. The fastener should be farther down on the foot; the way it is now, it's easy to "walk" out of them. They are somewhat hard but offer good support, but because they can come off too easily, I'm returning them.

I have a wide foot and was hesitant about buying M width, but these slippers fit beautifully. I always buy one size larger but it wasn't necessary this time and so I needed to exchange them for a smaller size. I also liked the fact that they are not flat on the floor.

These slippers are VERY oversized. I returned twice, downsizing each time. Instead of 8, I kept 6. Arch support good; would have liked a "softer" heel, as i have a tendonitis issue, and heel is hard. I do like the final fit, and certainly more supportive than traditional flat slipper.

These are the best slippers I have ever owned (they were expensive, but worth the price). My hammertoes/bunions love them because the velcro adjusts the slippers for the greatest comfort. Glad I found them!

I am a senior with pain on the bottom of my foot. Difficult to find comfortable shoes or slipper. I wore these for the first time and my feet stopped hurting. They are so comfortable it is hard to believe they are bedroom slippers. They fit to size and can easily be adjusted if needed. I would recommend these slippers to anyone who has pain in their feet - the pain disappears when I wear the slippers.

I do not know why so many said the shoes were not sized properly. I wore them for the first time and it felt very comfortable. I did not need time to get used to them and they did not fall off my foot. I put it on my feet and adjusted the strap and did not take them off. They were great. I have a wide foot and had no problem wearing them or walking in them. They did not fall off and they were brand new. Not sure why all the complaints - I have none. My feet feel relaxed, stay put since my first adjustment and the arch support makes my feet feel great. I suggest you buy a pair and try it and do not listen to the complaints. If it does not fit return and exchange it. I bought an 8 medium and usually wear a wide and they fit great. Try for yourself. I love them

They are very soft and comfortable. I tend to slip out of it backwards, as it grabs the floor! It has helped me walk better and I can feel it working in my leg muscles. I certainly recommend them.

Had to return it...too big. I wear a 9.5, my mom wears a 10 and this size 9 slipper was too big for both of us.
