Finally, a sandal with serious arch support. I wore Mephisto Helens faithfully until they lowered the arch support, and Birkenstocks, while cute, just cause flareups of my plantar fasciitis. Finally, a true orthotic sandal in a flip-flop! I'm so glad Zappos is carrying these. I have a medium-high arch and high instep, and wearing these is such a pleasure. I've found that I need firm arch support to have any chance of beating plantar fasciitis pain, but I still want cute shoes! These are perfect for summer and provide excellent support for hitting the NYC sidewalks. Plus, the patent leather strip is cute, and the soles are very grippy. I am getting these in several colors. I also wear them around the house to keep my feet supported. Thanks again for carrying these Zappos - you have my business as usual!

This flipflop was very painful within seconds. I am a seasoned flip flop wearer but the piece between the toe drew blood. I do not know how comfy the sole was because within 5 minutes the toe strap peeled my skin, also not too cute or a bit mannish. Dr. Weil endorses these...shock.

You'd think there isn't a whole lot of difference among various flip flops, but you'd be wrong. I got a pair of Orthaheels based on various reviews here on Zappos, and I'm so glad I did. I normally wear MBT (rocker bottom shoes), but when I'm puttering around at home, I used to just wear regular slippers and sandals. Inevitably, my feet would start getting sore or tired, and it turned out it to be due to the sandals not having any support in them. Since I've switched to Orthaheel sandals, I've said good-bye to foot pain! I even actually pack these when I travel. It's a few extra ounces, but being able to walk around in my hotel room with arch-support sandals makes life so much better.

Got these in black. Expensive for a flip-flop, but well-made and very supportive (and cheaper than chiropractic). Shiny black makes it a little dressier than normal flip flops. Took about a week to break in the uppers. Bottoms are very supportive & I am already feel my feet, knees and back realigning (I got plantar fasciitis after being pregnant). I normally wear a 7.5 and got these in an 8, so I'd say order up if you're a half size.

Orthaheel makes my feet feel supported better than any other footwear! With this order I will have 5 pairs in 5 colors. They are my slippers and everyday summer footwear. Having experienced strained arches and heel pain I can honestly recommend them.

Excellent selection of this product line, and size choice. These sandals (flip flops) run big order 1/2 size down. Wish the pricing could be competitive, but shipping and speed of delivery makes the difference with Zappos.
I'd also recommend: Only this one, I've tried others, if you have a high arch this is the only one I've found that hits in the right location, after you figure out their sizing.
