I have terrible plantar fasciitis so going barefoot in the house is not an option. I wanted a slipper that had arch good arch support which this one does. I definitely will purchase another one and buy the tennis shoes from Orthaheel. Zappos is great. They had the best price and quick delivery.

Very happy with these slippers. I have plantar fasciitis and was told I can no longer go barefoot at home and need to wear a slipper with arch support. My podiatrist specifically recommended this brand to me. The material is very soft and comfy. The arch support is definitely firm but comfortable. The slipper is slightly wide, but not so much that it is a problem for me. My feet are medium width. The band around the top of the foot did require some breaking in. It felt very stiff for a couple of wearings. It does say this in the instructions and it is true. Now that they're broken in they feel great!

These are great slippers! I have very thin feet and I bought these slippers one size smaller. I adjusted the Velcro straps as much as possible and I have comfortable slippers that support my feet. I wish there was a little more adjustability on the straps but I also have very thin feet. I took them on vacation. They were well worth the space.

I bought these to wear around the house after having a heel pain issue while jogging. They are very supportive and comfortable. I wear them all the time now when at home. I still have heel and knee pain, but these help quite a bit. I usually wear size 9 but I bought a size 8, and they fit well.

I bought 2 pair of these slippers, one for me and one for my mom. Each of us have had plantar fascitis. These are very supportive to wear for long periods and fit true to size. They can be adjusted for width as well.The arch support is very firm and takes just a bit to get used to, and feels better with socks sometimes. I would buy another pair and so would my mom. Cute design, too.

These are cute slippers, first time ever ordering an animal print! They have the same good arch support as the Relax slippers which is all I wear in the house. These do keep your feet warmer in the winter even without socks. I always have to order a full size smaller in Relax slippers so I did the same with the Gemma, which is why I rated them "felt a full size larger" to help others. There is still space in them to wear a sock with the velcro strap loosened a little when it's really cold. I still like the Relax style better because I like open toes but these are doing exactly what I wanted them to do, providing proper support and keeping my feet warmer.

These are very ugly slippers..But after all, they are just for in my home.. That said, these are very very comfortable and supportive. I highly recommend them if you need a slipper with great support. My feet are totally flat and i was starting to have some feet pain. They do stretch a little.

I just received these slippers today. I put them on and have not taken them off. They are so comfortable and have great support. I wear a size 8 1/2 N, I bought a 9 and it is just right. There is some velcro on the side so you can make the top a little tighter if need be and I did. I love them and right after I finish writing this I am ordering another pair...

I love the Orthaheel Sandals, so I thought I would give the slippers a try. They are wonderful providing great arch support, a sturdy bottom sole, and you can adjust the width with the Velcro strap. They are the best slippers ever!

This slipper is like walking on a cloud with arch support beyond expectation.
The second this Cinderella slipper went on my foot, I was in HEAVEN.. Seriously--
I've tried the Best of the Best.. Orthaheel by far exceeds all of them. I loved them so much that I ordered three more pairs in different styles immediately! Thank you Zappos for very fast delivery, courteous service beyond Excellent and for carrying this wonderful Product.

I love these slippers. I have plantar fasciitis and am not able to walk around barefoot. When I came across these slippers and the reviews were so good, I had try them, regardless of the price. They have helped me tremendously and the zebra print is really cute!

This slipper has a very high arch and the footbed has a firm feel. The fit can be adjusted due to the velcro tab. This feature keeps the slipper snug and the foot in place.
I gave it four stars for comfort because the footbed has so little cushion. However, if that is what you are looking for then this slipper should work fine.

I bought these slippers a month ago because the doctor diagnosed me with morton's neuroma and previously with plantar faciitis. While I initially bought custom orthotics for my shoes, which helped to relieve the plantar faciitis, the morton's neuroma only seemed to get worse. I tried the Foot Smart gel pads but they didn't seem to provide enough support since, while soft, they didn't provide enough protection from the hard floor on my toes. Since I don't wear shoes at home (I like to relax and shoes don't make me feel relaxed!), I decided to take another approach by buying some relaxing slippers with arch support (the Gemma by Orthaheel) and it was the best idea ever. I wanted to wait to write until I had some experience with these slippers and I have nothing but great things to say. They are cute, comfortable, and have an adjustable strap to ensure the slippers don't fall off when you're walking around. Just a note, they have a firm foot pad (not plush), which is what you want if you have bad feet (you need the arch support). The heel cup is also deep, which makes for more definite arch support. Lastly, it's got hard soles so if you wanted (or needed), you could walk outside. Overall, a great buy and totally worth the money! Just a note, these tend to run large so order a size smaller.

These slippers are great. Give support and if one needs to wear shoes all the time these can be a replacement for in the house. I got three pairs and love them. One will stay at my daughter's house, one for only in house, and the other in case I accidentally walk outside. Would highly recommend.

Love these slippers! Incredible arch support but still comfortable. If you're not familiar with Orthaheel they may take a little getting used to but so worth it. I can stand on the hard kitchen floor for hours with no knee or lower back pain in these. Have these in polka dots & zebra & there cute enough to run to the market.
Can't wait to put them on when I get home!

These slippers are AWESOME! I have plantar faciitis. I was looking for a slipper with good support so I wouldn't have to wear shoese with orthotics all the time. I have never found a slipper this great with the arch support. I highly recommend these!

Warm and comfy slippers with excellent arch support. We kept our house cool in the winter, so I like slippers to keep my feet warm. With the arch support I can wear them all day while I stand to bake, clean, and do laundry.

I love these slippers. I was hoping they would feel as great as the Tide FlipFlops do on my feet and I was pleasantly surprised when I put them on and they felt wonderful. I love these slippers. They are just what I need for my over pronation and Achilies tendinitis in both of my heels. I will be buying more of these in the future. They are worth every penny. The slippers are sized like the Tide FlipFlop. I usually wear 8.5 and ordered size 8 and they were perfect.

I have difficult feet: bunions and a very high arch. So far I have found Keen and Naot shoes to be the easiest to wear and I also have orthotics to put in my sneakers, etc. I've tried the Keen slippers and the Acorns, neither of which felt very good for me. I'm so pleased to have found these slippers. They have great arch support. I am a size 10 and they fit fine for length and though they are a little wide I wouldn't want a narrow slipper - these are not driving moccasins they are slippers. I have the blue polka dot ones. They have a kitschy 50's feel which I think is perfectly acceptable for slippers. I don't plan on wearing them out of the house like Ugg Boots or something - though they do have a rubber sole for the quick trip to the mailbox. etc. Overall I find them cozy and easy to wear. If you have difficult feet, you'll know how much of a "sigh of relief" feeling it is to find something so comfortable.

Absolutely love these slippers. Great support, warm and so comfortable. I wear them all the time at home and will buy more colors. Wish their shoes were more stylish so I could wear Orthaheel all day.

When the weather is warmer I wear Orthaheel flip-flops. These are exactly as I expected -- good as the flip-flops but cozier.

I love these slippers! I have very high arches and work from home, so I need something that's like an indoor shoe for support. They are cozy and comfortable. The only warning I would give is that they are a bit loud on hardwood flooring like a shoe, so this can be a concern if you're living in an apartment (like I am). I just try to tread lightly!
