Runs big compared to other Orthaheel products. Sent back 8 and ordered 7. There is rough place under the strap that goes over the toes but I will put moleskin or something on it to prevent rub/blisters. Looks better on foot than in photo!

I am a believer! I have had terrible foot pain due to pronation, and got to a point where absolutely nothing but my custom orthotic allowed me to walk. Sandals were a huge challenge, because there just was not enough support anywhere. These sandals have changed everything. They are cute, very lightweight., and I can wear them all day and feel great. I now have them in two colors, and I love them.

Orthaheel sandals are great and this one is no exception! You definitely need to order down to the next full size if you are a half size! The arch support in these shoes are second to none! Little by little I am getting rid of all of my other everyday sandals and replacing them with Orthaheels! Love them!

I received these two days ago and immediately the pain I have had while walking in my achilles tendon disappeared. Only wish weather was more sandal like where I am. I haven't had them off since acquiring them. Hoping wearing these for a couple of weeks full time with remedy the tendon situation and allow it to finally heal. Nothing else was helping. I sure would like to see more Orthaheel shoes with backs. I can't wear the backless ones, my foot moves to much.

I ordered the Yasmin in Orthaheel's versions of black and brown, and I absolutely love them. I am aware of the fatigue in my feet and legs when I wear other shoes, because these are so comfortable and supportive. The adjustable straps make for a perfect fit, and a more stable footing than the previous model with thinner straps. I highly recommend these shoes.

I am normally between a 9.5 and 10, and the 9.5 was sold out, so I went for the 10. They unfortunately were too big, slipping off easily with each step. Otherwise, they are really cute. I hadn't expected them to be so shimmery, but I like that. I'm going to reorder at 9.5 if they become available.

Comfort/Walking: I live on a college campus where some classes are literally over a mile apart. I walk a lot, over hills/concrete/dirt whatever (lots of shortcuts). I got sick of wearing all my cheap shoes down until the point that they literally formed holes, so I finally sucked it up and bought these basic wedges. In my experience with Rocket Dog shoes, they all start off really stiff. Painfully stiff -- enough that you'll probably want to return it, and some of you have. But with the flats I previously owned, after breaking them in for a week of wearing indoors with thick socks, they molded to become some of the most comfortable and durable shoes I've ever owned! I've yet to break these in so hopefully the same thing will happen. Padding doesn't do much, I would suggest gel inserts if you want arch support. Sizing: I wear size 6.5-7, more often 7. I sized down to 6.5 and they fit perfectly with just a little bit of toe wiggle room (usually 6.5 is tight on my toes!) So yes, size a half size down. Quality/Style of shoes themselves: I really love them! The soles aren't too heavy but you can tell they're made with good quality. There's a rubbery substance lining the soles that kind of spring you up when you take steps, which is awesome because all the other wedges I've owned in this style felt heavy to walk in. You really feel light on your feet! The heel doesn't have the rubbery lining but is made up of a really hard plastic(?) that makes it sound like you're walking on heels. I got the black silk style and it isn't shiny like patent leather, but there's a nice sheen to it. The folded wrapping style is all over the shoe (not just the toe) so it's a little more stylish than your basic flat. Very classy and elegant. They give you just a little bit of toe cleavage if that's your thing (I don't care much). I have an experimental style head to ankle, so to speak. I have no idea how to coordinate different shoes so I go for basics. This style is perfect for me, classy/simple and goes with everything. Will update this review in a few weeks to say how they feel after breaking in. Will update this review in a few months to say how they hold up with lots of walking.

These are very cute and versatile shoes -- can be casual or dressy. The toe is wide enough to not smoosh toes so they're very comfortable. Note: I had to get these a half size smaller than my normal 7.

These look great on but definitely run large. I am ordering a 1/2 size smaller to see if it makes a difference. Also, they are plenty wide so if you have a wide foot, these might work well for you.

I'm a teacher and I wear these shoes to work so often that I actually wore through the sole in 1 year. Very comfortable and for the price a great value.
