Since birth, I've had a problem with heavy pronation. I'm now 53 and having a real problem with my feet. My feet are so pronated now that if I walk through a puddle of water in bare feet, my wet foot print looks like a club foot made it. My arches completely touch the ground. I also love summer time and we go boating on the Colorado river and lakes several times a summer. It had gotten so bad with my old Teva sandals that I wasn't sure what I was going to do this season. It's almost impossible to keep my Nike shoes that I wear with orthotics with dry, and who wants to wear shoes in the summer on a river vacation? I loved my Teva sandals, but they just didn't have the support I now need. I googled what the best sandals are for pronation and ended up on the Zappos website. These sandals saved my summers. I love them! The relief I get from these sandals are amazing. I was reluctant at first due to the price, but they are easily worth every cent. My wife has issues with her feet as well, but totally different. She has high arches, but a problem with her big toe which is now arthritic. She bought a pair of Flip flop orthaheels, and it's given her some relief as well. If you don't have foot issues then sandals like Teva work great, but if you have foot issues and still want to wear sandals, then look no more. Oh and these have a nice vibram sole that works just like my old sandals I had for over 10 years on my boat. You can get these wet all day long.

Husband has flat feet that over-pronate and has to wear orthotics (wears Asics with custom molded orthotics per our Podiatrist's recommendation). But he needed something for when he's home and his feet are fatigued -- and he can slip on rather easily. He tried Birkenstocks but they were too rough and stiff. He also tried the thong version of these sandals, and the little bit between the toes bothers him (generally speaking with thong sandals). Also, he's got slightly wide feet with not a lot of volume (sort of "skinny" feet if that makes sense). In regular shoes, his feet are prone to blisters from all of the movement and too much room. Oh, and one more thing: he wears between a 12.5 and 13 (may not seem significant sounding, unless one is the shoe wearer), and the 12 fit fine (in this large men's size, many shoe manufacturers do not make half sizes in this range; this sandal does not, though I don't know if this is true for their entire line). All that to say that he does not have any issues with these. The arch support is enough to give him what he needs without his orthotics. Bottom line: he is very pleased as he says these are extremely comfortable. Yay.

I've been a fan of Orthaheel flip flops for years. They are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I own. The Orthaheel Boyes definitely lived up to my expectations. The footbed is excellent, and the shoes are actually wide enough for me. All women's Orthaheel styles are too narrow for me, but since these are men's they fit perfectly.

Bought these for my 11 year old son who wears a mens size 8. Perfect for him to play in and comfortable for walking. He has pronation so it is hard to find shoes that look his age and are comfortable. These work perfectly - a little expensive.

Recommended by my podiatrist as the only sandal I could wear to avoid constant foot pain. Able to wear all day from first wearing. Extremely comfortable; no pain. Perfect choice for me. I will try Orthaheel walking shoes next.

I love these sandals. I have a foot problem of overpronating. They are very comfortable. If you are interested in these shoes get them from Zappos. Thanks for your service ZAPPOS.

Loved these so much that I ran out and bought the sneakers, and insoles. They have made a huge difference. I walked all over the NOLA Jazz Fest for 2 days without pain. The rest of my body ached, but my feet were in heaven.

These sandals appear to have great arch support, just what I was looking for. But, I feel these sandals lack sufficient cushioning or any type of support to keep my feet from sliding off the footbed on the outer side. It would be great if they offered these in wide sizes as well.

I was introduced to Orthaheel within the last year as a family member, my Mother, knew of my foot pain. She ordered the Orthaheel inserts from QVC and when they arrived, I thought, "yup, suckered into another gimmick." Well, she got to say "I told you so." Not only did my foot pain go away, but I was able to run again, yes, I said run, and have never looked back. The Orthaheel product is outstanding and therefore when I saw they had a shoe line, I thought I couldn't go wrong. I actually purchased the Boyes Vionic on the same ticket as a pair of Traverse Vionic Sandals. Wow! I left on a vacation the day afterward and it made my whole vacation that much better. I am sold on the Orthaheel line, both inserts and shoes and will be a repeat customer. Side note to Zappos. Excellent Service! Zappos order process and shipping were both simple and fast! Two Home Runs hit in one swing! If you're hesitating to try these shoes, any Orthaheel Shoes or Zappos in general, do not hesitate. You will most certainly enjoy the quality and the service you will be provided.

My husband says this is the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn! Before finding this brand, he would only wear Kalso Earth shoes. He says the Orthaheel provide more arch support and stabilizes his heel and foot better. I just wish they would make more styles...especially dress shoes.

These were much larger than I expected and didn't seem very comfortable. I'm a size 6 or smaller, so send them back.

Simply the best pump ever! Great looking, stylish, sexy and very comfortable! The breathing soles are my secret to "the whole day with no smell(y feet)."
