I bought these slippers because I needed a 1 1/2 inch heel. It is closer to 1 inch. I do not feel much support. I wear an orthotic during the day. Perhaps that is why I can't wear them. I think I will look for a clog or mule type shoe to use as a slipper. These I will have to return.

I have had this brand slipper before and I loved it. This time, however, has not been so successful. I ordered 2 pair (and am stuck with one because I was so confident in the brand that I threw the box away) and both are defective. The right feet are not constructed properly. It may be just this pattern or all of them. I have no way of knowing. I would advise against ordering these in size 9!

I loved the Orthaheel sandals and wore them all summer. I was so thrilled to find these slippers for the winter and promptly ordered a pair. Sadly, after only a few weeks of wearing them, the inside of both have completely come apart and now it's all bunched up, loose fabric inside the slipper making them feel awkward and uncomfortable. The inside is such a great idea, but with this slipper, it's very poorly executed. They need to go back to the drawing board and figure that out! If I'd had them for a year -- or even 6 months, I'd feel better about it. But to have a pair of slippers fall apart within a few weeks? So disappointing.

They really help my feet but like a pair of the shoes I had gotten they have a bad odor after wearing them awhile. I do not have feet odor with any other shoes. I have a pair of the sandals and they are the only ones I got that did not create the smell. Sure wish you could do something about it because I really like orthaheel shoes. Let me know is there is anything I can do to stop the odor. I washed them and that did not help.

Unfortunately I had to send these slippers back. The binding over my left foot was too tight even when I adjusted the velcro. It hurt each time I lifted my foot to walk. I thought it was odd. My search continues for slippers I can wear. I have insertional achilles tendonitis and have yet to find anything that feels good in a shoe or slipper.

The concept of a built-in orthotic for overpronation is excellent. Unfortunately, this slipper does not come in a narrow width and the medium width felt like a WWW. I could not walk in it even around the house.

These slippers were very bad for my feet. I found myself sliding off them to the outside and actually caused me to turn my ankle. These were the most expensive slippers I have ever had and thought I would give myself a treat and buy a really good slipper. Well, that's a laugh, they were the worst slipper I have ever had and the most expensive. Too late to send them back. I feel they are misrepresented. Do not buy these.

Not such a great slipper. After a few weeks of wear, still did not feel right. One night, the angle pushed my feet too much to the edge, injuring the top right area of my left foot. They overcompensated with this. Too bad, because their shoes have worked out for me so far.
