I ordered a half size down, and size was perfect BUT the arch support was like a knife pushing into my arch. My other slippers were perfection, but this arch had crazy problems. You'd think they'd have this down by now and have some consistency from pair to pair.

I wear these every day. They really do help with my sore arches. My only complaint is that they are quite stiff on the bottom. I would buy these again.

Ordered this slipper because I have plantar fasciitis. This slipper has great support. Which is exactly what I needed. I am a medium width. Slipper does run a little wide but not any wider than an average slipper. Washed them in washing machine and they came out good as new. Only reason I gave them a 4 comfort rating was because my foot pain was bad so nothing was going to be super comfortable.

I have a pair of Orthaheel flip flops which I love and was looking for a slipper with good arch support. These fit the bill! They were a bit firm initially across the top of my foot but have loosened up (they are also adjustable). My only minor criticism is the toe box feels a bit cramped but think that is due more to the slide style than anything else. I normally wear a 10 but bought a 9 and they are fine.

This is a wonderful slipper if you are dealing with planter fasciitis. I had to order 1/2 size larger so the arch support hit my foot in the right spot.

The arch support is excellent! Finally a comfy slipper I can wear around the house and not be in pain at the end of the day. Very wide fit though. My feet slide side to side quite a bit. So not the best for trying to get house work done. Overall love this slipper!

I love these slippers but I have to tell you to be careful. I was wearing my slippers, I stepped down on a stair and my slippers were loose, like slippers are, and the slipper twisted and my foot broke! I'm not blaming the slippers but I just want you to know that you should tighten them so they aren't loose if you are walking on stairs.

If you have plantar faciitis or even just a high arch that often goes unsupported, these are a must have! They have a hard sole with support just like you're wearing an insert. If the doc has suggested that you don't walk around barefoot at home, these slippers are just what you need. They only come in full sizes, I am a true 7.5 the 8 was too big and the 7 is perfect.

Provides good support. Legs do not get as tired or hurt as much. Seems durable. You can adjust the width due to the Velcro, helps with wearing them in the winter. Moderate comfort but I guess you give up cushion for support.

These are in no way a replacement for my beloved sheepskin boots, which at least kept my ankles wsrm, but having slippers with arch support makes my feet so happy I almost don't miss my boots. I wear these around the house when I'm too lazy to put on shoes, and they are very comfortable. My two biggest issues are the mule style, which is a little sloppy, and the fact that these aren't washable. Face it, you wear 'em barefoot, the shoes start to stink after a while. I've surface-cleaned them and used a deoderant spray, but they still seem sort of gross. I'd recommend them on the arch support alone but probably better if you wear them with socks. I haven't purchased other Orthaheel shoes because I dislike the fact they are made with synthetic materials and not leather.

These slippers are a godsend for me. I'm a young person with a bad back and flat feet. I used to wear shoes in the house because I couldn't find slippers with arch support. I will be buying these slippers from now on. Be advised though, that you need to break them in. Wear them for an hour for the first few days and gradually build up your wear time. I wore them all day at first and it killed my back. Now, I can wear them all day with no problems. The only reason that I'm not giving 5 stars is because the fabric came undone at the toe and peeled back after only a month or so. Other than that, 5 stars all around. Great gift for anyone with a bad back or bad knees. Love, love, love. And they are cute too.

I have very narrow feet, and at this time I am suffering from plantar fasciitis. I need the arch support, and this slipper does help so much with the support. I wish that these were available in a narrow size, but the velcro strap does help.I would have rated this product with all 5's if they would have fit my narrow feet better.

I love these slippers now. It took a couple of days of wearing them just a one hour a day. They hurt the top part of my feet. I could tell the first time I put them on the arch support was perfect for me. I have very high arches and need support. I wear a size 10 and they are true to size. My feet are very narrow and I had to secure the Velcro tightly. I can wear them with or without socks - in fact I have them on right now at work! Do not tell my boss!

I ordered this slipper because I was suffering intense pain from plantar fasciitis. I have read that going barefooted can cause you more pain so the slippers have been an enormous help. The color is great and looks just like the picture! I also like the velcro because I could tighten the slipper so my foot wouldn't slide. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because my feet get VERY warm in them and I have to switch them out with my sandals. Think I will also purchase the slipper with the toes out for spring.

Life saver or plantar fasciitis! I was a little disappointed in the color... Zappos must have lightened the photos because the gray zebra is about 2 shades darker in person. These shoes feel great but are a little wider than I'd like.

Finally a pair of slippers that don't hurt my feet and keep my feet warm. I just wish they would adjust a bit tighter. Love the Orthaheel arch and my husband loves that i don't shuffle around in slippers anymore. I even put them on in the house when my feet hurt and then magically the hurting stops and an hour later I can put shoes back on. Hm, maybe I should get Orthaheel shoes, too.

A darling little mule slipper that is super cute and functional. They feel a little wider than an average shoe so my foot sometimes slides around. They're super toasty, which is good most of the time, but watch out for moistness and odor.

These are pretty comfortable. I like the sole for running out to get the paper or the mail. My adult kids get a kick out of seeing me in these leopard print slippers!

I wear a 10 2AA exercise shoe, but a 9.5 dress shoe. I found these too long, and too wide for me. It is .5 to 1 size too long for me.

At first...until about a month in...they have stretched out so badly that they no longer help the pain I was having. Money down the drain.

First of all, I do not like a mule.. but, I do like Orthaheel and needed a slipper for fall/winter. after contacting the company to see if they had plans to make a full slipper or bootie, they do not. I purchased this one. NO complaints really other than the style. my toes are warm my heels are not.

I am reviewing these slippers because the remarks about size are all over the map. So I ordered my regular size, which is an 8. They fit perfectly. A 7 would have been too short, a 9 would have been too long. What's more, my foot tends to run a bit narrow but there's a nifty velcro strap to adjust the fit across the top of the foot, so the width is perfect too! I wish there were as much arch support on these as there are on the Orthaheel flipflops, but in terms of fit, these are spot on.

I have been wearing Orthaheel shoes for the past two years. I love the way they feel and how much they help my hurting feet. The only drawback is that they are only good for about 3-4 months and then I find the support starts to go. For house slippers this gets to be an expensive habit. Wish I could find a discount for buying multiple pairs. Don't know what fabric they could use but surely there is something that doesn't wear out so quickly.
