Goodbye pain! The instant I put these shoes on, I knew my life would change. No more pain in my feet, ankles, knees, hips or back! I've even regained the confidence to start working out again! Love these shoes!

Fabulous shoes! For the first time in many years, I found shoes that fit perfectly and felt good from the moment I put them on. Nice wide toe box, great arch support, very comfortable. I can finally walk without my hips hurting. I don't understand why my podiatrist never mentioned these. All the ones the doc had recommended were unsatisfactory--wasted money on shoes I ended up giving away. Thanks Orthaheel for a fantastic product!

This did not provide enough cushioning for my heel which has a bad case of plantar fasciitis. Nor did it have enough arch support. I had to return them.

I'm a walker, many miles at a good clip. These shoes provide great support and wear well. The leather is a bit hot in the summer but worth the damp socks.

I have a problem with Morton's Neuroma and my foot was bothering me so much I had a hard time working out at the gym. I purchased these shoes hoping to alleviate my foot pain. With the wider toe box I can workout at the gym without my foot hurting so much. I am glad I purchased these shoes.

These do run on the large size. I kept the 9's but after wearing them wish I'd kept the 8 1/2's. The toe area is wider than most shoes and do not have much cushioning. They do work better for me than other walking shoes. No need for inserts. Would buy again. Recommend for anyone who has issues with their feet.

Terrific sneakers. Orthaheel sandles/sneakers are the only thing I can wear with my plantar f. and tendonitis. Give your feel a treat! I have three pairs of sandels and now the sneakers.

These shoes are fantastic! I have been fighting plantar fasciitis for years and these shoes have allowed me to start talking long walks, hikes, even runs again! I very highly recommend them. The arch support hits just right for my problem. I also have a pair of flip flops from Orthoheel and love them as well.

I have had these for a few weeks and love them. I have been having a lot of heel pain and this helps to relieve it. Great arch support and heel cup. I also love the generous toe box that doesn't cramp my toes. True fit and look great.

Great shoe. I have a narrow foot and high arch. These were perfect but did have to go down 1/2 size from normal size. I love this brand!

Perfect shoe...tossed my Nikes away. Helps with alignment and plantar problems. Bought slippers and a pair of sandals also in this brand. Worth the money.

I really love these shoes. They are lightweight and have plenty of room in the toe area. I usually wear a wide but these fit perfectly. My heels no longer hurt and I do not have to use my orthotics with them. The shoestrings stay tied, also.

Sizing in this shoe is very different than other manufacturers. I can wear a mens size 7 medium or a womens size 9 medium and have a snug good fit in most manufacturers such as New Balance, Nike, etc. in walking shoes. The Orthaheel sizing is longer in the toe box area and feels wider than the other brands. It does take a few days to get use to the different feel of the shoe on your feet and while walking or standing. But that is well worth the wait. You will notice a difference on your hips, knees and joints. Standing for long periods does not bother at all. Your legs do not feel tried at the end of the day! It has made a big difference for me as I have had many injuries over the years. Zappos customer service is fast and absolutely fantastic for being able to find what shoe size works for me. I read tons of reviews on this brand all over the internet and sizing was the hardest part for everyone. I am wearing a womens size 9 now for the past 2 weeks inside only. I am ordering an 8.5 medium today with plans after they break in, to use outside for everyday. I walk a lot every day of the year. I need a bit tighter fit for climbing off and on farm equipment and doing chores.

Purchased these for my 84-year-old mom who has terrible trouble with her feet (hammer toe surgeries, etc.) and balance problems. She loves these shoes, wears them every day. They have helped her a great deal with her stability. And she likes how they look as well! Highly recommend.

These are great supportive shoes. I need shoes with a heelcup, and good arch support and the she/insert works well. Also they are supportive and still attractive.

Just completed a 5K Walk/Run and this shoe is fabulous. I have had plantar fasciitis problems for many years and needed something where no pressure was placed on heel. This is my second Orthaheel shoe - the first being their thong sandal which is the reason I decided to try the athletic shoe because it too allows you to walk many hours without pain.

I watched a demonstration of these shoes on a shopping network and they said that you should order half a size smaller than what you usually wear because the arch pulls the toe forward. They were right. I ordered half a size smaller than what I usually wear and the arch support is terrific! I do not have knee or ankle pain anymore. For some reason they make me feel taller, maybe they are aligning my whole posture! They do take some getting used to, but they are worth it. I would recommend these shoes for people who stand or walk a lot on their job!

I bought these for my wife, she absolutely loves them. They have a good arch and really help her feet. She plans on getting me a pair soon! Zappos has a great business going for them. They provide great shipping at a very fast speed.

I found these to be true to size. I ordered a medium width because of the reviews. They are decent but wish I would have gone ahead and ordered the wide. The length is true to size too. I cannot walk in any other brand of shoe because of knee problems.

Great support for falling arches. I spent a lot of money on inserts that I cannot wear. They we not right fit. These are great.

These shoes far exceeded my expectations. I thought there would be a breaking in period, like most shoes. I have a very high instep and am hard to fit. As soon as I put these shoes on I knew they were the "one". Excellent arch support, so comfy, and not too old lady looking. I'm planning on taking them on a cruise this summer with extensive excursions that will require a lot of walking. I am so happy I made this purchase! Thanks to Zappos for the excellent customer service and lightning fast shipping.

This was the perfect shoe for me. As I am recovering from a long-term issue with my hips and just at the stage where regular exercise is once again possible, these shoes give me the support and comfort I need to enjoy all that walking!
