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.

These slippers do give me very good arch support and I am about to order my third pair. Why? Because the fabric on the footbed only holds up at most a year. I literally walk through the terrycloth fabric. Please improve the quality of the fabric used for these slippers and they will be perfect!

I am a Vionic junkie. I think I've bought every single style--some work like magic and others don't work on my feet. I've owned a pair of relax slippers for many years and figured it was time to get a new pair. I am sending these back, sadly. They seem to be a bit different than my old pair; the footbed seems a bit more narrow and the straps across the top of the foot feel like they are set farther back on the foot. The result is that it feels like my feet are coming out the front of the slipper and it's hard to walk. Vionic, did you change my slipper?

These slippers were a bit of a let down. I was excited to receive them based on others reviews, but I found that no matter how I moved the adjustable strap on the right slipper, the Velcro rubbed the top of my foot. It should only touch the other part of the Velcro but it was sewn on too far towards the edge. I am only able to wear them with socks. I should have returned but wore them thinking I could get it to stop rubbing but was not successful. They are comfy other than that and seem to have nice arch support.

Strap on right foot was slightly defective, sending back. I have sensitive feet and doubt these will be comfortable long term.

I bought this in my continuing search for something that feels good and would help my planters faciiatis. It is comfortable and has arch good arch support. I think it's overpriced for what it is, I wouldn't buy again, but I do wear it around the house and it's comfortable for the PF. I ordered a 6 based on reviews, but returned for a size 7 (my true size).
