For a pair of slippers the foot bed is much too hard. I want a pair that cradles my foot. Sadly returning these.

Vionic is a favorite brand due to the sole/arch support. Have worn the previous slipper style for several years, this one just isn't the same. Not as much support, not sure if it's the fabric or the footbed. soft fabric, feels good.
had to return sadly.

I usually wear 8 1/2 W or 9 M but I ordered these in a size 8 based on the comments here. The fit is pretty snug but not uncomfortable. However, I don't like the feel of the plush fabric. It makes my feet feel sweaty.

My plantar fasciitis has been so painful for so long thought nothing would ever help. But these slippers have been wonderful. I wear them all day when home they really do help so much.

Cheetah print, check! Arch support, check! Velcro to adjust to my wide foot size, check! It was pretty much a no brainer to buy these slippers. I have plantar fasciitis and since wearing these slippers around the house instead of bare feet on hardwood floors, it has helped. The size does run large and if I ever order another pair, will try a size smaller. They do look pretty clunky but they are for around the house, so its ok.

Based on the reviews for this slipper as well as how much I love my vionic sandals I purchased these. I was really disappointed. Despite the ratings for this slipper providing excellent arch support I was terribly disappointed. There was no discernable arch support what support. Granted, the slipper is a comfortable fabric and has a thick, sturdy foot bed. However, this did nothing for my high arches or my plantar fascitis.

I loved my slippers for the first several weeks but then they lost their comfort and support. We are a "shoes off" house, I work from home and I do wear them whenever I'm home, not just morning/night. Perhaps they are better for less frequent wear.

I loved this slipper, but I kept getting little hair splinters in the bottom of my foot. It took me a few times to realize it was from the slipper. I had the zebra pair. I am debating about getting another pair thinking it might have just been the zebra material. I really did like them, but I don't want to wear socks.

I was looking for a slipper that gave better support than traditional flat slippers. These seem to fill the bill; however, based on reviews, I do recommend sizing down, as this brand does run large.
They felt true to side because I sized down one size. The Velcro helps with width, and support is moderate.

These slippers fit me only when I wear them with socks. Then they are very comfortable. Since they run large, without socks I step out of them when walking and especially going down stairs.
The arch support is good for standing for long periods of time. I probably should not have picked this style, but I make them work with socks.

I have several pairs of Vionic sandals & thongs & love them! I thought I would try some cushy house slippers so got these. I like the arch support but my baby toes hit the seam on the inside of the slipper & is uncomfortable. So, back they go!

I suffered for years with plantar fascitis, so must always wear shoes with good support. It is almost impossible to find slippers with good arch support. I wear a 7.5 so I ordered a 7 based on other reviews, but these were way too long. Plus the straps sit back far on the foot which makes them quite awkward to walk in. Thank goodness Zappos makes returns so easy! The slipper search continues...

I have so many feet problems and I thought I may have found my perfect slipper when ordering these. Not the case. Though they offer amazing support, they are a bit clunky and I sometime find them hard to keep on my feet well, and end up cramping my toes trying to keep them on. I'm still trying to give them (and Oprah) the benefit of the doubt, but after almost 3 weeks I'm not impressed and still looking for the perfect slipper.

The footbed of these slippers is actually quite comfortable. They are a bit clunky, but I bought them for around the house, so style really didn't matter to me. My one caveat with these is that the strap hit my foot too far back and I didn't feel like the shoe stayed secure on my foot.

These are better than a flat sole, but not as supportive as past versions. I have two pair of these exact slippers from 3-4 yrs ago which were much more supportive. These were a little disappointing to me. Obviously changes were made.

I was disappointed in these slippers. I have several pair of Vionic sandals and love them all so I didn't anticipate any issues. The first problem I encountered was they have a really bad chemical smell, probably from the "odor-resistant Ecofresh" treatment. It would take a year in the garage for them to gas-off enough for me to wear them. Also, the velcro strap on the right shoe rubs and scratches the top of my foot. It could be just that I got a defective right shoe but I don't want to go through all the bother of exchanging them and hoping for a better outcome.

Glad I ordered one size smaller but sadly they don't have the non-slip sole I require so they're going back.

Warning! This is not the same slipper design that was previously sold under the Orthaheel Brand name, subsequently taken over by Vionics. Although the company claims everything is the same, it is definitely not the same product. This slipper is comfortable and well-made, but it does not offer the same arch support as the previous design.

Cute slipper, was hoping that it would help my plantar fasciitis since I have ceramic tile floors in my home. Unfortunately it was too narrow, so I have to return.

I was disappointed in the quality of the stitching of the top of the slipper. The flaps where not sewn properly to keep from folding over inside the flap making it uncomfortable on the top of the foot. Replaced and had same problem. I expected better.

I don't have any particular foot problems, but was just looking for a summer slipper that had a little more support than most I've seen. These took a little getting used to for me. They hurt the tops of my feet for a few days, but then I got more used to them. They are fairly comfortable now. Not a level of comfort I'd rave about, but they're fine. One very annoying thing, though, is that small pieces of black fuzz keep coming off. I've worn them daily for about three weeks now, and I'm still finding the fuzz to be an issue, so not sure if it'll stop anytime soon. It's not a ton, but just enough to be annoying and worth mentioning. Maybe the other colors don't have the same issue, but the solid black definitely have this problem. Overall, I'll stick with them for this summer, but may try something else next year.

I have mixed feelings about these slippers. On the plus side, they're extremely comfortable and provide excellent arch support, far more than any other slipper I have ever had. On the minus side, they're extremely expensive. Also, after about 6 months of use, the Velcro no longer held. And they can only be washed by hand, which really doesn't do the job.

This is my third pair of orthoheel slippers. I bought these for the warmer months. They were comfortable and gave me sufficient arch support. They are however, ridiculously clunky and cumbersome. The bottom of the slipper has a fabric bottom, which has since worn off and now catches more like a running shoe on my hardwood floors. I have also worn holes in the toes bed. They were great when they were new, however, after 9 months have not lasted as long as my previous orthoheel slippers.
