Finally! Sandals I can actually wear. Finding comfortable shoes has been a nightmare due to seriously problematic feet: neuropathy, diminished fat-pads on soles of my feet, severe overpronation and very flexible arches. I tried countless pairs of shoes (thank you, Zappos!) without being able to keep and wear a single pair...until I found Orthaheel Muir Sport Sandal. I read the reviews, ordered down a size (from my usual 9), gave my feet a day to adjust and the rest is foot-comfort history! I now own two pairs (taupe and olive) and will be buying a third pair soon. I had tried other Orthaheel styles that just did not work for me, but the Orthaheel Vionic line are just about perfect. Now, if only Orthaheel would make Vionics in a closed toe style for winter...please!

Shoe is good for casual dressy wear--I wouldn't walk long distance in it but would opt for the Orthaheel Walkers.
Note: Won't buy from this site because they failed to honor a sale price.

Unbelievably comfortable! I'm really struggling with arch and heel pain. I wear a size 9 and they are true to size. These have been a godsend and they're fun to look at too!

I really like this as a casual sandal. Having the back strap increases it functionality and I find I am wearing this instead of my Birkenstocks for all casual occasions. I have a wider forefoot, so the B/C width of this sandal works well for me. I have high arches and find the strap over the arch just right, but it's adjustable so it should work for those with lower arches as well.
I am not sure about the "recovery" shoe aspect of this sandal, but the arch support feels good, and I plan to use these as my travel sandals.

These sandals are all they were promised by previous reviewers. They give support and keep the foot firmly but gently on the foot-bed. They are easy to slip on and strap down. After years of footwear issues I seem to finally have found this one to keep pain away.
I was so happy with it that I bought a second pair, exactly the same for indoors. Thank you Zappos for offering these great Orthaheel sandals!

This was first Orthaheel sandal and I am impressed with it. Is is comfortable but the straps can be an issue if your feet swell the way they are configured. But they are lightweight and a good sandal otherwise.

I have flat feet. I have custom made orthodics made at a well know Boston hospital. The support in these sandals is equal to my orthodics! I love this first pair of Orthaheels!

Very nice sandal. I've had a hard time finding a sandal with adequate arch support I can hike in. I already own Orthaheel's flip flops, but they are not really suitable for hiking or long walks. These sandals are extremely comfortable.

I wear an 8.5 or 39 and am always uncertain when buying a shoe that only comes in whole sizes. I got a 9 and it was just enormous on me. It seems like it might be comfortable and cute in a smaller size.

I have not been able to find sandals to wear because of my foot pain. These are great! They are very comfortable, fit perfectly, and no pain!

The most comfortable shoe and sandal I have ever owned. I now have them in two colors! The support is absolutely incredible! Thank God for this shoe!

These sandals are attractive and comfortable from the first day. I didn't need to "break them in". Most importantly, my chiropractor approved! I wear a 6.5, but the 6 is perfect (as per the recommendation of a Zappos customer service rep).

I have reoccurring plantar fasciitis and up until I put these on, the only shoes that gave me some comfort were my sneakers with Spenco inserts. even then my heels would still bother me from time to time. This summer I was determined to find a comformable pair of sandals so I can forgo my hot and sweaty sneakers. I have not worn anything but these since I got them. In fact, I love them so much that I bought the Tide to wear as house slippers.
I went window shopping for over 2 hours and my feet were tired but did not hurt. These are no Louboutins, but they aren't super ugly either. My feet loves them so I can forgive it's homeliness.

I have plantar fasciitis and have to be very careful what shoes I wear. I didn't think I was going to be able to find a sandal that would work for me but these are awesome! I can go all day with these and not think about my feet. I can't even do that in my sneakers. I highly recommend these sandals.

I absolutely love these sandals. They were comfortable right out of the box and I wear them nearly every day. I have other Orthoheel sandals also, but these offer more stability with the adjustable straps. I have knee problems and normally wear orthotics but I find that I can wear these without a problem. It is great to be able to wear sporty, lightweight summer sandals again! I just wish they made a dressier style with the same support.

Have had to wear tennis shoes and custom inserts in my shoes for over 2 years now. These sandals are a blessing to have! I love being able to wear sandals again and without foot pain! Love them! I have a narrow foot and just had to tighten the straps as sandal felt a little wide. But they are wonderful.

It is taking a long time to get used to these sandals, but each time it gets a little better. Orthaheel is the only brand that fits my plantar fasciitis condition. I normally am a size 7 or 37, in these sandals I am a 38. With the Louisa I had to go up to a 39 to get the right fit. Thankfully I gave them a try. I love the Louisa sandals. I hope to see more styles with the same sole. It took me less time to get used to this style. Thank you, Zappos, for your stress free return policy.

I absolutely love these sandals. I recovered from having plantar fasciitis. I have high arches. I wear a size 10 and have fairly wide feet. I purchased a 9 and the fit is perfect. Not only do these sandals feel like they are massaging your feet, I do notice that I stand an walk much straighter. The foot bed is awesome! Break them in slowly as suggested. I followed this instruction and still felt slight pain in ankle and knee, but all is good now and I am able to wear all day!

These are very comfortable and will be my go to sandal for walking this summer. I also bought the Orthaheel Kiwi slide to wear around the house (also very comfortable once you get used to them) and I would say that the Muir does not have as much of an arch support as those. Both are great for over-pronators though. The Muir is actually cuter on than I'd expected.

I was diagnosed with an inflamed tendon in my foot and told to get an orthotic and to never go barefoot again. I use the orthotic in my walking shoes but wanted comfortable sandals. These are great! They are a bit wide for me so the velcro straps tend to dangle a bit since I have to pull them tight but that is a very minor complaint. I have worn them quite a bit since I received them and find that my ankle no longer aches. Highly recommend them.

Really make sure that if you are a half size you order the next full size down...these run large. Other than that I think these shoes are unconditionally great! I am about to order another color. I wore these shoes in Orlando at Universal Studios for two straight days and I never experienced foot fatigue or discomfort. I had Plantar Fasciitis and am hesitant to wear sandals for long periods of time...these get an A+!

I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for years and wear custom orthotics. There are almost no sandals I can put my orthotics into. I was so pleased to find the Orthaheel brand and took a risk that they would work for me. They did! My feet feel great. I am a teacher and can wear them all day with no foot pain. They have even made my lower back pain feel better. It did take a few days to get used to them, as they had a different feel than my orthotics, but once I did break them in I didn't want to take them off.

These shoes have the best arch support of anything I've ever put on! When I take them off, my arch feels like it has been reshaped to how it is supposed to be. They are very comfortable and I like the adjustable nature of the front and back velcro closures. I tried this brand in the slide on style and the straps were all wrong for me as they were not adjustable but these are amazing! I typically wear an 8.5 or 9 and these fit perfectly in an 8.

This is an excellent shoe! It has very good arch support. If you like a lot of cushioning, it is not for you, for it is not a cushioned shoe. But the support is excellent.
