Very sad. I love my other Orthaheels. I have slippers and flip flops. Best arch support. These shoes were super tight in width. In same purchase I bought 7W in Rockport and fit fine. 7.5 or 8 will be too long. Regrettably sending back without exchanging.

I had high hopes for this shoe, since I need the orthaheel support and was looking for that in a dressy shoe. However,I ordered the wide size and found that the toebox is too narrow and confining. Also the rise of the heel cut into my heel and would certainly cause a blister with wearing. Perhaps this would fit your foot. Sadly, it didn't fit mine.

The arch support was above average for a normal shoe, but not as good as the Orthaheel sandals. I also did not like the look of the shoe at all. It's a man made upper and it looks it.

First of all Zappos is fantastic!
These shoes ran a little large. I love the arch support. I have a heel spur and these have really helped give me the support I need. However the color is already wearing off of the shoe and the back of the shoe tends to protrude into your heel. I have stretched mine out and they wear good now.

I really wanted these to work but the W was still too narrow in the toe box. Back they go!

OUCH! They are really cute shoes. The arch support is awesome but they wore holes in the back of my heels on both sides. I could not walk by the end of the day.

I have tried two different sizes and cannot get a good fit. It is too loose in the heel. The support seems good. I will try another style.

I was looking forward to having this shoe, but I found it to be constricting around the "bunion" area even though I don't have this problem. I found the shoe to be stiff and I wonder why it is lined in a baby blue suede-like material instead of black. There are two concerns with that feature. First, it will show soil and look nasty and, second, the blue shows when the shoe is on the foot. It's too bad, because it truly is a stylish shoe that I very much would have liked to wear.

Loved the look and they felt fantastic while I was sitting in a chair. Can't walk in them, the heel is way too big, I just walked right out of them. Needs to go back, sadly.

These shoes are pretty cute and l actually felt like l could possibly wear them to work and have enough arch support. That would make them the first pair of decent-looking somewhat dressy shoes l would own since developing plantar fasciitis a year ago. However, I didn't get that far because when the shoes weren't slipping off my heels they were cutting into the backs of my ankles and tops of my feet. l gave them 3 tries around the house before l gave up.

Adorable, but gaps at the instep. So disappointed. I will return these (I will also lose my coupon), and hope I find a better fit with another style.

My feet are happy in Orthaheel products and this would be the shoe of my dreams if it was constructed of real leather. The faux leather has a dull appearance and scratches easily. After only two wearings I've had to touch up areas where the finish came off.

These shoes are absolutely adorable, and I was so happy to see a therapeutic shoe that didn't look like pilgrim shoes. Sadly, that's as far as these go. I've worn them, in carpet, a couple of times. My feet are killing me. The right shoe felt tighter than the left, and that's never happened before. The shoes also looked like they had been worn before. Anyway, with my flat feet, I need comfort before beauty. These have to go back, and I'm really disappointed.

The metal aglets on the ends of the bow rattle with each step. I really wanted to like these shoes, especially in purple. The 10s fit very snugly and had a few places that would quickly become blisters. The 11s stayed on, but could easily be walked out of. Back they go.

I was really hoping this shoe would work out for me, but I decided to send it back. The interior felt great and I loved the orthotic support, but the toe box was too tight and became uncomfortable after a few hours. I do have a wide forefoot, so this is a common problem for me. I really need my shoes to get me through 10-12 hour days and this wasn't going to make it that far. I may try a different model, though, because I loved the support.

I love Orthaheels - love the arch support. I have some in other styles. I usually wear an 8.5 and these were way too big and the 8 were way too small.

The shoe was beautiful except it was too big in the heel and my foot kept popping out. It was not as high quality as most Orthaheel and I own several pairs.

Very cute and stylish shoes, but the insert hit me too far back in the shoe and the back of the heel rubbed against the back of my ankle in such a way that it could cause a blister. It was also snug in the toe box.

These are the 3rd pair of Vionic shoes I have purchased. I love the other 2 pairs but these really fell short of my expectations. I really need the arch support that Vionic has in their shoes and I wanted these for work because I have to wear dress shoes and most dress shoes kill my feet. The arch support in these shoes is nothing compared to the Vionic sandals I own, which was really disappointing. I don't have an extremely physically demanding job but these shoes are showing signs of wear after a month. The leather has started chipping away already (and I really don't do a lot to my feet other than walk around). I was just really disappointed. This is not what I would have expected having purchased Vionic shoes before. I'm already on the hunt for new work shoes.

I am SO disappointed in this shoe. The top part of the opening (near the toe end of the shoe) is much too tight. It looks like a narrow shoe (I ordered wide) but fit okay except for the area described above. I am considering trying to "break them in" as I love the foot bed and have been waiting for a closed shoe.

I ordered these in a regular width at first but had to send them back for a wide width, which honestly didn't feel much wider to me. These were really cute and the footbed seemed comfortable, but I agree with other reviewers that the back of the heel is shaped poorly, causing it to rub and create blisters. I usually have problems with blisters on the back of my heel with shoes, but I could tell these would be particularly bad just from walking around my apartment. I usually think shoes are comfortable until I wear them outside and do a lot of walking and get a blister. With these, they were rubbing my heel painfully just walking the length of my small apartment. I thought maybe the wide width would help with this problem by giving me more room in the shoe, but it did not. Both widths rubbed in the same way. I think part of the problem is that the heel indent in the footbed is too deep. It gives a lot of arch support because of this, but it put my foot at a slightly strange angle in the shoe and made the heel hit a little too high on my ankle, which in combination led to more abrasive rubbing than usual. Too bad because they were so much cuter than most "orthopedic" shoes.

I wanted to love these shoes since I have loved other Orthaheel shoes, but these shoes are so stiff and uncomfortable that I had to return them. I wish these shoes were made of leather because the arch is wonderful and the style adorable.

I tried the Orthaheels sandals for the first time this summer with great success and was hoping for the same results with this shoe, unfortunately this shoe was a huge letdown. The shoe was too big in the heel and rubbed against my ankle. The shoe did not have enough arch support and was truly uncomfortable. I ordered it in an 8.5 perhaps I should of ordered it in an 8, anyway I am returning the shoe.

I loved this shoe, but it actually made my inward pronation much more pronounced, so unfortunately I am returning them.

These shoes are very comfortable. They have great arch support. However, after wearing them only 2 times, they already have very visible creases which make it look like I have been wearing them for months. I was going to try and send them back but I had thrown the box away.
