Terrific lightweight shoe with good heel support and comfortable toebox. Requires very little break-in. Runs 1/2 size large. I ordered 7 1/2 which fit my size 8 foot perfectly. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a supportive, lightweight shoe for most indoor/outdoor activities. Zappos is the best in customer service and selection.

The shoes are well made. I have worn Vasque in the past and been very happy with them. This model was too wide. I use orthotics, have a narrow foot.

I purchased these for a trip to Africa where I needed one pair of shoes that could be worn for both hiking and for regular daily exercise (running and exercise videos). They were perfect for both. The toe box is a bit wide (which is what I was looking for) so I never feel like my feet are squished. I did order half a size above my usual size, as I usually do with any shoes that I plan to run in.

I had a difficult time finding the right shoe to fit my foot and have been so pleased with this shoe, spending all day in it and hiking up & down trails without any issues! It's not supportive enough for backpacking, my feet got achy & tired during a 3 mile hike with pack, but it's not marketed as a backpacking shoe either. My foot is probably a little wider in the forefoot and narrower in the heel than average. In most shoes I tried on the heel would slip, which isn't good for hiking, but this one has great heel control for me. It's very lightweight and not bulky. I did put waterproofing on the mesh, but could be interested in the Gore-Tex version for the next pair. I am looking for them to come down in price and will stock up on another pair or two for the future (they've actually gone up since I bought them in late June). I am a size 8 with an average arch, and this 8 fit just right. I also bought a pair of Vasque Velocity (not the 2.0) and they are just a little too narrow in the forefoot to wear for long periods, so it even varies within a brand!

Bought these shoes because I heard great things about the brand and I've been having aching feet for a while now. The shoes are good but my heels still hurt. Some people have said that these run big but I did not find that to be true. I always wear an 8, ordered an 8, and they fit perfect. I love the fact that if I don't wear socks, I can feel wind/air hitting my toes and the top of my foot. So all in all, this seems like a great shoe but I am disappointed that my heels still ache. I am going to try a heel pad in them and see if that makes a difference.

I loved these shoes and really wanted them to be comfortable. The size 6 fit my size 6 foot with socks and the shoe is really cute. Unfortunately I have to return them. The toe-box is just too big for my foot and the design of the shoe causes uncomfortable pressure across the top of my foot where my toes bend.

I continue to like the Vasque product. This shoe has a deep heel cup and a wider toe box which makes for a comfortable fit for me. The material is very breathable and dries quick. I would buy a second pair.

I bought these awhile ago and am just now starting to break them in. Unfortunately, I threw away the box, otherwise I would return them. They are very comfortable except that the stitching on the top side of the shoe from the inside is rough and it causes my third toe to bleed after walking about 30 minutes. This is very disappointing to me as I plan on doing day hikes in the next few weeks. I guess I can put Band-Aids on my toe and use them for short hikes.

Love these shoes! Very cute and stylish and will go with everything from jeans to dress pants. I have painful plantar fasciatis and these were comfortable as soon as I put them. Wore them the entire day with no problem. Would definitely recommend them. Wish they came in blue!

LOVE the shoes. after getting my feet used to them for a few days, I wore them continuously. Had two days when I was on my feet 14 hours and my feet, knees and hips NEVER bothered me as they have in the past. Will surely purchase more Orthaheels.

I love these shoes. They were comfortable the first day. They have a clog styling, so a bit clunky looking. But the support of the backstrap is great. I'm wearing them as a dress shoe with nylons. They fit true to my size 8. The footbed is a slightly flocked. They are synthetic, but I think they breathe better because they are open at the back. Although I wouldn't wear them barefoot. Wore them all day and had no foot pain from my plantar fasciitis.

Just got the Rachel after wearing Orthaheel sandals all summer. LOVE these just as much as the sandal. Agree with others that it would be nice to have them in leather. I wore a size 9 in the sandal, but needed a 10 in the Rachel Mule.

After buying the sneakers, I just had to buy another pair of Orthaheels. And I am not disappointed! These are the most comfortable mules I have ever worn. And the compliments just keep on coming! I have since recommended orthaheel shoes to my sister. I especially like the extra width in the toe area. Thanks for finally designing a shoe that helps me!

I have been wearing a specific orthopedic sneaker for years but they have quit making that model. I was in a panic as to what I could find to replace them. This shoe is fantastic. Not only does it fulfill my need for orthopedic support, it looks and feels great. I am extremely pleased to be able to wear real shoes again.

These shoes fit perfectly for me! Great heel height and great arch support. I wish Orthaheel had more variety in their non-sandal selection. And more offerings in wide widths.

Love this shoe and had such high hopes for it. However, I have very high arches and the shoe was too tight over the top of my foot. Sadly they are going back.

I usually wear 8 in Orthaheel sandals, but these ran a little small. Very cute though. Will try the next size.
