These are the best house shoes I have ever had. The color is fun and wakes me up in the morning. They are comfortable to wear all day long if I choose.

These are great. Same support/comfort I am accustomed to from the Orthaheel sandals that I wear in the summer months but with warmth. Love!

Love these! Perfect support. But it is important to follow the directions! Break them (and your feet) in slowly...even if you have had the sandals! I like that they aren't a big fluffy slipper that will only be matted later and that they are warm and solid to walk around. Love Orthaheel.

I can't say enough good things about Orthaheel support. I love the natural pain relief for my plantar fasciitis. I suffered for six months trying stretches, shoe inserts, anti-inflammatories, etc. Once I started wearing Orthaheel all the time, my pain went away. I started with the slippers, and added the Melissa mules, clogs, sandals, and Orthaheel inserts for my workout shoes to my collection. I love them! I normally wear a half size and found the recommendation to order the size lower worked perfectly for me whether open or closed toed. No more foot fatigue, tired legs, or hip pain!

I LOVE these slippers! They are warm, have wonderful arch support, and are adjustable, so it's easy to get them to fit snugly. I normally wear a size 8.5 but got a size 8 and they fit perfectly. I wear them when taking out the trash or playing with the dog in the back year, and then just brush them off and they look new again. Best slippers I've ever owned, definitely recommend!

This is my 5th pair of Orthheels, and the sizing is right on the money. I wear a size 9, and these fit perfectly. I too suffer from plantar's fasciitis, and need the excellent arch support these slippers provide. They keep my feet in the proper placement, so the arch has to be firm and non-flexible. I also have a freakishly high instep, so the ability to adjust the top of the slipper makes this a perfect slipper for me. I can't express enough how much I love this slipper!

There is no break-in period, great support and you can adjust the width. This slipper is worth every penny plus you can wear it outdoors. I hope they continue to make this style. Plan I buying another pair.

I love them. Love. More comfortable than any pair of shoes I own. Only minor criticism is that they're pretty warm, so may not work well year-round.

Love these! They are warm but most importantly they are supportive of my feel and comfortable. Had a leg injury last year & they really help keep my foot in line to support my injured area. Orthotic is the way to go!

I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot. These slippers are my "go to" house shoes when my foot is hurting. The high arch is hard to get used to at first, but after wearing them a bit, you don't even notice. Anyone with arch issues, I would recommend these.

I ordered these slippers as I have been having heel pain. They are fantastic. Great arches, warm and very comfortable. They look nice and are very well made. I will definitely buy more Orthaheel products. I can wear them for hours with no pain.

I have a significantly narrow foot and feel these are pretty wide. For this reason, had to order these vs the open-toe version (the ones I wanted initially but had tried them on in a store and my foot goes straight through the front!). My MIL ordered a pair too and says the same thing so you can count this as 4 thumbs up! So warm too! My feet sweat in my Ugg slippers but not in these. And love the actual sole so I can step out to grab the mail or let the dog out without fearing damage if it has rained a tad or the porch hasn't been broomed.

These are the first great slippers that keep my feet warm and actually help my plantar fascia. Well you know what I mean. Will never be without these little guys again.

Keen shoes are also great for foot comfort,but not as great as orthoheel shoes and slippers.

Very soft and comfortable with excellent arch support. Wore the Orthaheel flip flops at home all summer and just got these for the cold weather. My knee pain has really diminished since I started wearing Orthaheel.

Here's the deal, I have two lower disc issues that are pretty major, and have tried various 'regular' slippers to use while cooking on the weekends. These are the best! I spent 4 consecutive hours on my feet yesterday cooking - and my back felt great during & after! Buy these slippers if you have foot, leg, hip or back issues -- give yourself a little time to get used to the high arch - because they work beautifully!

I have plantar fasciitis and morton's neuroma so this slipper gives me great arch support and a firm sole. Only complaint is the velcro does not tighten very much and I have a narrow foot.

I had a bout of plantar fasciitis 3 years ago and now am careful to get shoes with arch support. I now have big toe arthritis (hallux limitus/rigidus), and so wanted slippers with limited-flexibility soles. These slippers are fantastic for support, although they look like cheap non-supportive terry cloth slippers. I would prefer a more tailored mule style in more modern colors (I chose black instead of the horrid leopard) that doesn't seem to be available. Also, the terry cloth on the inside of the slipper toe has come loose. I haven't bothered to chase down a replacement yet, but it seems like shoddy construction. Overall I'd buy again because my feet are incredibly happy in them, but aesthetics and quality are lacking.

I LOVE these slippers! Since my Dr suggested that I not go barefoot--even in my home--I needed something comfortable enough to wear at all times. The arch support is exactly what I needed. They are warm, but not too hot. The velcro strap adjusts tight enough so that they slippers stay on my feet easily as I climb stairs. I normally wear a 6.5 and purchased a 6. Fit perfectly (7 would've been too big). Would definitely recommend!

Love! I have plantar fasciitis & finding comfortable shoes is nearly impossible to say nothing of finding slippers. The arch support is great! They're not the cutest slippers I've ever owned, but these days, I take comfort over style.

This slipper provides terrific support with its built-in orthotic. The slippers aren't gushy soft (in which case they wouldn't provide support).--Takes a few days to get used to the feel--different than wearing UGGS. My feel are lovin' the support!

Can't walk barefoot because of plantar fasciitis. These slippers have really helped. Comfortable and cute. Would recommend for foot pain.

This is my third pair of Orthaheels and my absolute favorite and they fit so well. I usually go up a size because I have "flipper" feet - very wide at the toe but narrow in the heel. I don't have to do that with these shoes. Almost instantly upon putting these slippers on my plantar fascitis pain has gone away. I also have a pair of mules and walking shoes, and I these slippers are the most comfortable.

I just got these today. I have never seen this much arch support in any shoe, it's fantastic. The adjustment on it is also really awesome as the shoe might be a little wide for me otherwise. I bought these for indoor shoes, but may get a second pair for outdoor use.

I do not usually like mules, they leave my foot half cold and are prone to sliding off my foot.
But these are really excellent quality mules. The footbed is very thick, so my foot is well-insulated from the cold floor and I'm really surprized by how warm they will keep my feet. They also have the highest archsupport I've ever seen in any shoe - including athletic shoes. I have high arches and even I found them a bit too high at first. However, there's a method to the madness, the footbed is made of some high-density, memory foam-like stuff, as you wear them, this compacts and conforms perfectly to your foot. It's like having a custom orthotic in a house slipper. This also helps keep the slipper on your foot. So if they seem uncomfortable at first, just wear them a week or two and they'll settle down.
They aren't too bad looking either, for a mule slipper. I bought the tan, which is the ugliest color, but I thought it would go best with different sleepwear.
Anyway, they're really nice, they won't replace a bootie slipper for really cold weather but they're great for quick slips on and off when you need them.

Lots of support. Kept my feet and knees from hurting on my new hardwood floor.
Rather firm feel. Not a cushy slipper feel, but very solid and comfortable.
