Within 5 minutes of slipping these shoes on, my toes went numb. Not sure why, but it probably has something to do with the arch support being too extreme for my foot. I will be returning them.

These slippers were mentioned by several people as being good for plantar fasciitis. Flip flop style shoes are NOT good for anyone with PF. These shoes, at least for me, had that floppy up and down motion when walking, similar to flip flop style shoes. Perhaps that is due to the width and overall larger size, but I would not recommend these for PF. The only part of them that would be good for PF is the arch support.

I have a problem with my achilles tendons and found the arch to be hard and the slipper itself way to heavy. I have purchased so many slippers to wear around the house to help with my tendonitis everyone I tried were to heavy or to hard. I have spent over $100.00 on other slippers for my tendons and all of them way to heavy. The tags are also inside the slipper and are annoying.

My feet slipped around in these no matter how tight i made them. Sent back.

Do not buy! I bought slipper when experiencing plantar fasciitis for arch support not the style. The arch support is moderate which is what I needed. What I did not like about the slipper is that the lining mats down easily and can not be cleaned. I wore the slipper daily and within a month the slipper was ruined. I tossed in the garbage.

I really don't like the way these fit any more since Vionic took over... i would rather have a close toe slipper but they don't fit either. and the sole is hard!! not comfortable!

It is not my habit to write negative reviews. I will make an exception this time. Vionic is a brand I have trusted. I have seven pairs of Vionic sandals and I love them. That's why I ordered the slippers. These slippers are heavy. They fall off as you walk. I sent them back. I do not recommend them.

I loved the slippers-ordered a dark color as per review light colors dont wash well.the black shed like crazy,even after wearing everyday since receipt.Still picking up black fuzz from my light carpeting & tired of it.

These shoes are terrible about shedding black fuzzies. Pieces come off on your feet and then are all over your floor..

I really wanted to like these slippers because of the Orthaheel Tec and the cute animal print. Unfortunately my feet did not like them at all. When I received them I read the note that said they may make my feet a little sore to begin with because of the Orthaheel Tec and to continue wearing them. I have worn them for over a month and it got to the point where my feet were killing me. My heels hurt, my arches hurt, and my knees starting hurting. That is when I decided to give up on them. After four days of not wearing the slippers my feet are back to not hurting. What hurts the most though is the money that I shelled out and since I have worn them for a month and do not have the original packaging, I cannot return them for a refund. I ended up searching Zappos' site for different slippers and I found my favorite Acorn Spa slippers in a slide. I wore the thong style slippers all summer and love them. I like to wear wool socks in the winter and I am so happy that Acorn has a slide style now. I only wish it had been available when I was looking for winter slippers so I would not have wasted my money on the Orthaheel Technology slippers. I guess I can always sell them at a yard sale.

I was hoping that these would work for me. At first they seemed comfortable with more support than ordinary slippers. Then after a few wearings I realized that they are unstable, as in slippery in the footbed. These do run large, and so I got these in a size smaller. Yet even after tightening them up as far as they would go, they still feel sloppy and unstable. Something about the fabric footbed lining and the straps across the foot keep stretching out. These are also dangerous walking up and down stairs. I had a pair before but it was a size larger, I twisted my ankle in them. in the end, these are no better. I will probably donate them or throw them away.

I purchased these slippers on the recommendation of my podiatrist and am quite disappointed. Although the slippers are fairly open, the material doesn't breathe, so for the first time in my life, my feet are perspiring and I now have new (2 week old) slippers that smell funky, and when I wear them, my feet smell funky, too. Gross. The only way to avoid having my feet pick up the smell is to wear socks with the slippers. Not a great look, and I don't like wearing socks, especially here in South Florida. Also, after wearing the slippers for an hour or so, I find that the Velcro bands seem to stretch, so they feel loose and awkward and I then worry about tripping when wearing them. I don't recommend them and feel disappointed that a $60 pair of slippers has left me with punky feet.

This item is well-constructed and very supportive; however, the materials used are poor quality and tend to cause the feet to perspire profusely. Cotton would be a better choice for this material.

Unfortunately, these slippers make my foot pain worse. This is the second pair of Orthaheels that I have tried and neither one worked. I overpronate and thought these would help but I get sharp pains in the middle of my foot after wearing these slippers. It is too late to return them but I will not buy any more Orthaheel products again.

I thought I would love these slippers. I paid more for them than I have ever spent on slippers in my entire life. I have tried and tried to wear them. Every time I put them on, my back is killing me within the hour. And if I press on and continue to wear them for over an hour, I have excruciating leg cramps all night. They are nice, but they are just not for me.
