I wore these sandals for many hours today and walked about a mile. They are exceedingly comfortable, the arch support is excellent, and they were easy to put on due to the Velcro. They looked great with my maxi dress. This was the second time I ordered the Sonora Euro Strap from Orthoheel. I returned my initial order because they were too big. My size is 6½. Because there was no half size, I ordered the 7. I then tried a size 6. It fits perfectly. These sandals run half a size larger. The width is true to size. Just order down half a size. There is a back strap for additional adjustment if needed. I did not need to adjust it, but it is a wonderful feature. They have a nice cushion like feel. No one would ever guess these are designed by an Orthopedist. They are attractive and contemporary looking. I am really happy that I tried the smaller size, not only because I know I will enjoy these sandals for many more days, but because I now have found another brand of shoes with excellent arch support which are also stylish. I will try other models at another time. Be warned: the cheaper,plastic Orthoheel sandals, while very good looking, do not offer the same comfort. I tried one pair of those because they looked so pretty, but the plastic is annoying. It pinched and irritated my toes for the short time I tried them on. And they will not stretch. It is well worth the extra money to buy the leather Orthoheel shoes.

I LOVE these shoes! I have been on a seemingly never-ending search for really good, supportive, comfortable, yet stylish sandals that would work with all of my summer garb. After six other pairs of shoes these are finally "the ones." They are incredibly comfortable with fantastic arch support. I have plantar fasciitis and pronation issues and these are the first pair of sandals I have found that help relieve both of those issues. The arch support is amazing and the footbed is molded to surround your foot without feeling like you're wearing a full shoe. The buckle around the ankle and the two Velcro straps in front help you to get a personalized fit. The hardware adds just a little something extra to make these shoes stylish. The only reason I took a star away from styling is because they are patent leather and I would've preferred something other than patent leather. I have been wearing them all day and my feet feel fantastic! Definitely recommend this shoe!

Center strap is off center whether on foot or off (Major slant); otherwise a pretty shoe. Can't adjust the slant to a vertical line as I have been able to with other shoes. Fits well with usual good high arch support for my pronation, but no way to adjust center vertical strap. Also, it looks like with just some wear the vertical strap will tear loose where it is anchored at bottom and top horizontal strap. Hate to have to return both white and black shoes. A good dressy style for any time of year.

Best arch support I've found and really helping my plantar fasciitis to heal. These are the only shoes, other than my Orthaheel tennis shoes, that I can wear right now and I'm so thankful they are good looking enough for evening and work.

The only brand of shoe I can wear without experiencing terrible knee pain is Orthaheel. Fortunately for me, Orthaheel shoes are stylish and reasonably priced. These red sandals are all a real showstopper! They are comfortable (of course) and they are gorgeous.

Great support. I get tons of compliments on them. Wear in smaller periods of time to get used to the support. I felt it in my legs after wearing them. But they are very comfortable it's hard not to wear them.

I have hard to fit feet, with bunions, hammer toe, and very high arch. These are attractive, cover the bunions comfortably, and fit the arch just right. I can wear them all day, thus I have avoided surgery because of this brand of shoes. Tell Orthaheel to continue coming up with bunion friendly styles. Love 'em!

After being a terrible sufferer of plantar fasciitis, almost unable to walk for months, these shoes and a couple of others by "Orthaheel" were my salvation! My feet are nearly back to normal. I am never barefoot only the Orthaheel shoes are on my feet. This pair are of particular comfort and the adjustable fit make this pair priceless. Oh, did I mention they are cute on?

Sonora provides great arch support, which is essential for my high arches. I got the black patent to wear everyday, but also for more dressier occasions. I haven't worn much, but it fits well and will wear well, because of the great construction.

I think this would be a good, comfortable sandal for me if it was in my size, which is 6 1/2. Since Zappos did not have this sandal in stock, I ordered the next size, 7. It was too big.Apparently this sandal runs true to size. I will be happy to reorder this should you get my size in White. It's hard for me to rate the arch support fairly because I only tried on one sandal and did not walk in the sandals. But they look as though they would give at least moderate arch support. For the same reason, I can't rate the shoe either.

These are definitely cute in red patent - and nice enough to go to work in a corporate setting. I bought this after trying out at a shoe store in DC, and then spent most of next day walking and running errands in these. This was my first pair of Orthaheel, and I am impressed by the quality. The arch support is excellent - I have low arches, so that's a big plus for me. The footbed is not as cushiony feeling as a Naot or Mephisto, but it's still very supportive - but those looking for softer cushioning will probably want shoes from the other brands. At this price point though, it's a good buy for the combination of style and comfort it delivers.

Not the prettiest shoe but gets top points for comfort and stability. If your foot is narrow, the velcro closing may cause the show to have an 'off center' look.

I bought these for a trip to Europe - so have had it for about 3 weeks now and today, noticed the black plastic covering is already peeling off the shoes. They are very comfortable, look okay, but for the price, would have expected these not to fall apart so soon.

This shoe, which I believe offers excellent support, does not sit squarely on the foot. My foot was somehow pulled to the side and the my heel didn't sit straight on the heel of the shoe. A disappointment because had this not been the case, it would have been an excellent walking shoe

While I find this shoe comfortable, it's a bit heavy and clunky. I also wear them all the time, so even within a month's time the patten leather is cracked and starting to look quite worn.

Well-made with good support for high arches.Great ability to customize the straps to make a perfect fit. That's the good news. The bad news is that these shoes have NO cushion.Also, the red patent leather, which is a lovely red color, is stiff so there's going to be a break-in period.As for sizing, I'm usually an 8.5-9. These shoes ran large, a size 8 fit perfectly.

Felt much too wide. I usually wear a B (medium) width shoe, and although I adjusted the velcro strap to its tightest setting, it was still sloppy-fitting. The sole also felt stiff and clunky, uncomfortable for walking. Thank you, Zappos, for your generous return policy.

Bought this shoe at a store and the strap broke in 5 days! I don't have wide feet either. I brought them back for a refund. Very disappointed, as I loved the fit and my feet felt great after walking every day in them. Excellent arch support, horrible back strap.

The heel strap broke and I haven't even had the shoes for 6 weeks! I would expect much, much, much better quality for a this priced pair of shoes. I am sorely disappointed and will request a replacement ASAP. This should not happen!
