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.

First let me start with reason I made this purchase. I have Flat feet, due to this they overpronate (turn inwards as I walk/run). It was getting to the point it's painful. I Heard good things about Orthaheel. So far they help alleviate the pain. Make sure you follow instructions for break in period. These are not soft, but neither are those custom & expensive orthotics. I wear them around the house & they do bring relief. Excited about that. They work as advertised, so go for it.

Though I liked the idea of an orthotic flip flop, this shoe gave me a monster blister on the top of my foot and a neuroma beneath my big toe. Be careful.

I have been wearing Orthaheels for over a year now while recovering from plantar fasciitis. They have provided total relief and helped with the healing process. Now I wear them for the sheer comfort that other sandals do not provide.

I'd also recommend: Merrell, Privo

Casual flip flop with a sturdy sole. Still light and with an amazing arch support. Wearing those and I have no heel pain.

I purchased these for my husband for Christmas. He loves them! They support his arch and provide much needed cushioning in the heel, relieving much of the discomfort from his plantar fasciitis. He has traded his slippers out for these for walking around the house in the evening and the morning, and they have been a relief from walking around on a tiled floor during our visit to Puerto Rico. I think they are attractive as a man's shoe, but not quite as much as a fashion choice for a woman, but I am going to order some just for the comfort factor. I am thinking they are more beneficial for someone with a med to high arch and may be to much arch support for my low to med arch. I'll let you know how they work for me.
