Can't believe this shoe fit so perfectly on the first try. I am very hard to fit and would never consider buying this type of shoe on line without having tried it on somewhere first. I only did because of the return and free shipping policy. I love the shoes! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable for my arches. No back or leg pain. I'm so thrilled to not have to wear my orthotic inserts. I'm so pleased with the shoes and the fast excellent service.

Bought these for my daughter. I had been noticing her gait lately, her ankle has been turning in and causing some problems. I saw these shoes advertised and thought they might help her out. They certainly have improved her stance and gait. She loves 'em!

These shoes felt very comfortable but were a half size too big. I was pretty disappointed because none of the other reviews mentioned it and I needed them right away. Other than that, they seem to be made of quality materials unlike the Nike's I ordered last week - made entirely out of man-made materials. I am looking forward to my replacement pair in a smaller size.

Best arch support for a commercially available shoe I've seen. My only complaint is they are a bit hard for standing for any length of time. The orthotic is great, but overall the shoe could do with a thicker sole. Wonderful shoe, but I think next time I'll get their orthotic separately and put it in a more comfortable shoe.

Great walking shoe - very comfortable arch support. Really helps alleviate my foot/ankle/tendinitis pain. Taking them to Europe for a cruise with lots of walking excursions. I normally wear a 9.5 but find that Orthaheel shoes seem to run about a half size larger than marked.

I generally take anywhere from an 8 to a 9 with a decent width. I ordered the 8.5/R It felt big (too much toe room) which was sorta OK, however the arch was not placed correctly due to the length. They felt pretty darn good anyway, but I decided to go with the 8/R. I'm on my feet for most of my shift and I need a stable supportive shoe. I'll update when I receive my new size.

These felt odd when I first tried them on, and I wasn't sure about the way they felt on the bottom of my feet, but I'm glad I gave them a chance. I have very high arches, and my ankles will roll in if I don't get a high enough arch support. My foot adjusted to the way these feel quickly, and my knees and back immediately had less pain. I since injured my knee, which hurts, but the shoes are not making it worse, so that is nice. These look and feel great, fixing many of my foot issues, even after long, long days on my feet. I also thought they might be clunky, or ugly, as orthodic-type shoes often are, but they are nice, and lightweight. Wish there were more color options, but that is about it.

Very comfortable. Great arch support. My plantar fasciitis calmed down a lot. Not the best looking shoe though.

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No break in time needed. Finally a product that does what it says it does. My heel pain from plantar fasciitis was instantly reduced. Oh, the relief! I will definitely be buying more of this brand. One important issue, this shoe runs extremely large - at least one whole size larger than should be. I probably should have sent them back for a smaller size, but they felt too good to take off.

No cushioning at all in the insole so it hurts to walk in these. Fit is perfect. It is slimmer and less bulky looking than most shoes walking shoes.

Zappos.com always wins high praise! I have worn the Orthaheel Walker (in white) for the past few years and couldn't say enough about them. However, this black shoe, while still very comfortable, has a major manufacturing quality issue with their black interior fabric. It rubs off onto any socks and will not be washed out! Hence, you end up with a great pair of black shoes as far as comfort is concerned, but you will ruin every pair of socks you ware with these shoes. This model is not ready for the customer.

This shoe feels very comfortable and I thought it would be supportive enough for my daily 1 hour walks. However, after a long walk recently my knee hurt, which means that my arch was not being supported enough. I'm back to my orthotics in my old shoes. The orthaheels are comfortable for wearing around the house, shopping, etc. just not for distance walking (if you have pronation).

I have had these shoes for two weeks. The rubber toe guard is coming loose. I ordered them 1/2 size smaller as suggested. Length is fine, but way to wide after wearing them for two weeks. They stretched and I feel like I am wearing clown shoes. I only wear them for a few hours a day, they have not been worn hard. I can not return them because according to the rules, they have to be in the same condition which they are not after wearing them for two weeks and the nose guard is pulling away from the shoe, plus I do not have the orginal box they came in. When they first arrived they felt okay, but I was concerned about the width. I decided to keep them to see if in time I would like them more. Well after only two weeks I hate them and have not even paid for them yet on my charge card. Had they not started to fall apart I would have probably not complained, just never bought them again. They are not worth their money. I think you should be able to return a defective pair of shoes.

I was really looking forward to receiving these shoes as I have flat feet and I thought they would be the answer to my problem. As per suggestion, I ordered a half size smaller than I normally would. I need to wear my own orthotic so I removed the orthotic that comes with the shoe, but the fit was all wrong for me when I inserted my own orthotic. Too bad because now I have to search again from scratch.

I received these shoes one day after ordering. I love to shop at Zappos. I like their return policy. Returns are hassle free.

I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and my Dr. made orthotics are so expensive, I decided to try these. They are nice looking, good arch support, but the inserts were a little bit hard. I added a padded insert and was good to go. My back and knee pain improved wearing these shoes. I would recommend these to others.

These shoes are great for the price. I do a lot of walking and work on my feet and these shoes keep me comfortable for hours. Provide nice stability for my ankles. I recommend.

Overall, I rate these sneaks as a 5. They are very comfortable and have helped my low back and knees to be much less painful since I started wearing them over the past few weeks. The only thing I'd change, and this is minor, is that they are a teensy bit hot, being mostly leather with a little bit of mesh, but this is perhaps part of their support feature. As I say, to me that's a minor issue.
