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.

I have very flat feet and severe bunions. I have been wearing Orthaheel Tide flip-flop sandals. They hold my feet in enough alignment that they sit properly in the shoes. This slipper does not appear to have the degree of arch support and without the strap between the 1st & 2nd toe my feet cannot stay properly aligned in the slippers and I cannot walk in them. The slippers are as warm as I thought they would be, but I had to give up and return them and look for arch supports for regular slippers instead.

I should have known better...you can't really provide support on an open slipper like this. I found my feet sliding off both sides, which was not only uncomfortable, but ended up hurting my knees.

Most uncomfortable pair of slippers. I had so much increased knee and hip pain I had to take them off and back they go. What a huge waste of money!

This slipper looked nice but was horrible when I put it on to walk around. The part that velcroed across top of foot hurt my foot no matter whether I did it tight or loosened it. The arch support feel like a hard rock on the inner foot side of foot. It actually hurt to walk on it. I tried these for a week as other people said you would get used to it. I never did. I have had several prior back surgies and the night after wearing these I developed burning pain down hip and leg which scared me and I quit wearing slipper and pain did not come back. Would especially be careful with these slippers if you have had prior back surgery. This was NOT a soft cushiony slipper.

I have owned several pairs of Orthaheel shoes and they have been wonderful. They helped when I suffered with plantar fascia and helped to correct pronation. I have used this slipper for several weeks now. They were fine for ONE week. After that the upper has stretched out so bad that it is hard to walk in them. My feet slide around so badly. I have to constantly tighten them. I cannot recommend this style of Orthaheel.
