Just received my Gemma Mule slippers. Nice change from the Orthaheel thongs I have worn all summer long. I am a victim of plantar fasciitis & heel spurs due to wearing cheap high heels most of my life. Thank God for Orthaheel. Anyone who has plantar fasciitis knows pain. The condition is life long & chronic; however, this footwear alleviates much of the discomfort. Love this slipper, super supportive. I have really wide feet, so I made an adjustment to this slipper (Orthaheel would be aghast to hear this). My foot being so wide caused the top of my instep to rub against the fabric and cause slight skin irritation. Even with the adjustable strap it still rubbed. So I cut a small 1/2 inch slit at the very top of the slipper. This solved the problem immediately. You can't even see the cut, it appears to blend in with the fabric and looks like an original design cut. Overall, highly recommend to anyone in foot pain.

The best & most comfortable slippers I have ever had. Loved the adjustable width and so soft and pretty in pink. I can see why this slippers have received great reviews. Great arch support and I can walk on my hardwood floors very quietly. They cover my toes in cooler weather.

I must have ordered 7 different brands of slippers and these were THE BEST! I’m recovering from torn Achilles and can’t walk barefoot around the house so I need a good indoor winter slipper. Fitflops would be great too, but not warm enuf. At first the arch was a little toO hard and almost hurt, but 1 week later, they’re broken in and I’m so excited to wear them! Previously I bought easy spirits travel shoe - they were really comfy and cozy , But even tho I washed them every day , they smelled like my teenage son’s dirty sneakers!!! Yuck!
Haven’t had to wash these in a week:)) I’m ordering more!
Happy customer

I've been wearing vionic Tide sandals for years, love them. Had total hip done aug 2018 and needed some GOOD slippers so I decided on these. Wearing the store bought flattys started making my feet hurt. I LOVE these! I've been wearing about 3 wks now. 3 x I went to go out and realized I had my slippers on, so comfy! I did wear them to a store while on vaca, no one knew me LOL. I've read reviews about washing, I don't dare; don't want to ruin for the price I paid. I sprinkle with baby powder and spray with odoreaters, so far so good. I hope the wear keeps up as long as the sandals (lol I have 6 pair, some are very worn but hate to throw out). I highly recommend

I find the house shoes to be really comfortable. Even though they are a bit pricey they are just what I was looking for with firmer soles.

This slipper is well worth the price. I was having plantar fascia pain and walking was extremely painful. These slippers have amazing support. I wore nothing but these for two weeks and my foot pain is gone. They also look enough like shoes to wear to the grocery store and to run errands.

Love, love, love these slippers! Have worn the flip flops all summer long and needed something warm now and these fit like a glove. I'm a 9 1/2 and sized down to a 9. They fit just like the flip flops. Since wearing Orthaheel my plantar fascia is gone! Amazing!

Winter's here, and my regular plain Orthaheel slippers, while comfortable, were no longer keeping my toes warm. I don't have finger-toed socks, so my solution was... get fuzzy warm Orthaheel slippers! I could've gotten the plain one in black or tan, but how can you resist this wonderful purple tiger-striped one? It's like wearing a 1970s love van carpet on your feet! Now my feet feel comfy and warm. Oh sure, I've had fuzzy slippers in the past, but they were designed for indoor use. Now I can walk to the mailbox without changing footwear. There's even a little Velcro tab on the side so you can adjust these slippers to fit you just right; how awesome is that? Thanks Orthaheel!

I love my orthaheel sandals and wanted something warm for the winter months. They are quite comfortable with a good arch (although not as good as the sandal). They really are very wide for a medium width and my foot swished around while I walked. I guess it will have to be sandals through the winter.

I purchased these slippers for my wife who is a registered nurse and works 12 hour shifts, most of that time on her feet.
She needs an effective arch support as the years as a health care professional have taken thier toll on her feet. She loves her Orthaheel slippers and that's all she wears now when she's home.

These slippers are great. Allow me to walk around the house without the pain I have when I walk without shoes. The adjustable strap keeps my feet secure in the slipper. Love them!

Love these! I work at home so wear slippers all day and not having arch support after several years of that has ruined my feet. I'm thrilled to find these and they are so cute! Expensive for slippers but worth every penny. And the sole is so substantial I'll be able to take the dog out with them on!

I have plantar fascia, and one of the things that complicates my life is finding slippers with good solid arch support. I can't really go barefoot without pain, and most slippers aren't much better. These were recommended by my podiatrist; solid arch, good support, and no torquing. I got the red/zebra pattern which makes them less grandma slippers, at least in my head! I think they could take some getting used to if you're not used to arches, this is solid though; these aren't the traditional squishy slippers. Of course that's why I like them!

Comfortable and cute, these slippers are fantastic. I can wear them all day around the house and spend hours standing in the Kitchen, cooking, baking, without my lower back hurting! I am so grateful that Orthaheel came out with these!

Based on other reviews, I thought these would be perfect for my plantar fasciitis. Unfortunately they seem kinda stubby and wide and the arch support was way too much for me. I have low arches, so these were not suitable for my feet.

I was disappointed in the comfort of these slippers after reading the reviews. To me, they are no more than Crocs covered in fabric. Your foot is completely covered in plastic with no cushion or comfort to me at all. I can understand how someone with plantar fasciitis or needing excellent arch support would like these slippers so in that case they would be a lifesaver. I will keep them just because I love the pink zebra strips and Zappos but I certainly will not live in them around the house.

Width is adjustable. I usually wear an 8 1/2, and have a wide foot, and the 9 fits me better than the 8.

It was recommended that I stay away from walking barefoot. The Dr recommended this brand and my first search was for slippers. I prefer to not wear tennis shoes all day long. These slippers are perfect for supporting my arch and are comfortable as well. I definitely recommend them!

I've purchased two pairs of this slipper. Very comfortable. Very warm but doesn't make feet too hot.

I wear a size 9 in a Vionic shoe. And I have had size 9 slippers but after a while they seemed to get too wide for me. So I ordered a size 8 and I'm very happy with that. Really good arch support in the Gemma mule slipper. Cute as well.

I love these slippers! They are so comfortable and have the Vionic arch support that I need. My foot doctor actually recommended Vionic slippers because I have plantar fasciitis and I have to wear shoes inside my home because of the hardwood floors. They are so cute too. I will definitely buy again!

The most comfortable slide on slippers. They run slightly large, so it's best to order true to size. I love that they are somewhat adjustable.
