These fit perfectly! I purchased them for use at a pool and for the locker room and shower area of the locker room. These have a good sense of stability and no slippage. While the fit is perfect, having the velcro will help on days my one bad foot tends to swell.

I love these slides and already "wore out" a pair, this is my second. Despite the fact that a slight bump exists in the foot bed, there is no *true* arch support. They are, however, extremely comfortable to my feet in which I have arthritis in my great toes (no, it isn't gout. I'm sure). These are my summer "every day shoes" as I putter around my house which is 90% ceramic tile. Depending on my arthritis symptoms of the day, I can use the velcro to adjust the width of the slide to accommodate swelling and soreness or tighten it up when I'm feeling good. When I say I "wore out" a pair already... I had them for, at least, four years and finally the top of the foot bed seemed to have simply flattened and lost all cushion. The bottoms never showed any wear and the overall shoe looked as though I had just taken them out of the box. I will buy these for as long as they are being sold.

I have a wide foot and bunions. I thought this shoe could work because it is adjustable. The foot bed is narrow and uncomfotable. Returning to try another brand.

They fit, I guess, but I had to send them back. This newer version of the Spenco slide/sandal was ...OK... except the heels were about 1/2 inch higher than I expected, so footbed was approx. 1+" high off the floor. I bought them not knowing the height of the heel/foot-bed, as this info was not given for some reason! (We always NEED to know how high a shoe's platform is from the floor!) These are supposed to be sandals or slippers... These were too high for me. And not as comfortable or easy to walk in, either, as the foot platform seemed wider than the old version, too. And they were lacking MUCH of the contouring of the shoe interior one expects with Spenco shoes.
Also, while this this newer version "looks good" on the web site, it is *made entirely of plastic*. No "give", no absorption, no cushy-ness... And not much interior contouring, either. Not the shoe I was hoping for.
See photo below: my very much older Spenco Kholo sandals have a contoured interior cork foot-bed. They also have an exterior plaid red & white checked cloth band over the forefoot, and the underside of the top/slide is suede-ed. There are no straps so the shoe is not adjustable; it is a SLIDE. The heel is sunken about 1/2", as per design in this style. I am still wearing these, even though one shoe is losing pieces of it's cork. A large section of the cork sole's exterior is gone and I can now read relevant info about the shoe stamped into the layer beneath the cork! Fascinating!
Please. Ask Spenco to make this style the old way; the "new ones" are not nearly as good. I will continue to were my old ones until they are completely dead. Thank You!

I really wanted to like them but they were NOT comfortable at all. Stiff and unyielding describes them best. Perhaps they break in but anything that uncomfortable to start ...needs to go back and so they did.

The arch was not as high or as cushiony as i need. My foot is very sensitive. also just under the heel is the word spenco. I found the texture feel very annoying. was not smooth at all.

I normally wear an 8 1/2 but these do not come in half sizes and I got the nine. Because you can adjust with the Velcro straps they fit perfectly. They’re like a very stylish Birkenstock. Very comfortable and cute.

Was looking for a slide similar to Oofos but with an adjustable strap top. Ordered these, they are VERY stiff and maybe someone without my foot issues could wear them with no trouble. I have Rx orthotics which I wear with all regular shoes, have had a bout with plantar fasciitis this past winter - spring and into summer - fall. These are too stiff for me.

Great shoes, especially if you need to adjust the toe area. Not many shoes allow you to loosed the toe area.

I have different sized feet and these work great for me. I got the size for the smaller foot and it fit the small one out of the box. For the longer foot I loosened the top strap a bit with the velcro and its great for me.

This is my second pair of these sandals. I wore them all last summer and wanted a second color. Totally comfortable right out of the box and I particularly like the arch support.

I usually wear a 9.5 WW. The 10 W was too wide. The straps were way too long. Might be just what you need if you have huge swollen feet. The arch support sole is great. Now I hope the regular width is not too narrow.

I wear 7.5 Medium width shoe. With these slides I ordered the 7W with adjustable Velcro straps. These slides are wide but I needed the flexibility of the adjustable straps to ensure they would fit properly. I wear thick padded socks with them. They would be sliding right off my feet without the padded socks. With the Velcro straps I can open them up, place my foot on the slide then strap my feet in.

I bought these for wearing to the pool and in the shower at the gym because I wanted something that would stay securely on my feet, and that they do. It's great that these are available in a B width because most popular brands of shower slides are too wide for my feet, and I love that they are adjustable so I can get them as tight as I need. I also like that these don't get squishy when wet so as to become hazardous around a shower or pool area. I wasn't expecting something stylish so that's not an issue. My only complaint is that when I wear these in the shower at the gym, the padding on the tops of these shoes seem to take an awfully long time to dry. Since I plan on using them every day, a friend suggested that I clean the soles off and then put them in the drier at low heat for 20 minutes. I'm sure the manufacturer wouldn't recommend it, but that's what I did and nothing bad happened. It's possible the shoes might dry overnight, but I wanted to pack my gym bag before they had a chance to dry.

I bought these to wear with thick socks around the house. I'm disappointed that while they fit fine and I like the adjustable straps, they still aren't very comfortable. The soles and footbed are almost hard, and the footbed has supportive molding that doesn't feel great with such a hard shoe. I wouldn't recommend these if you have low arches. The hardness of the soles also means the sandals are loud for walking around on hard floors - it sounds almost like I'm wearing dress shoes. I have a different pair of Spencos that are very comfortable but I can't wear thick socks with them, which is why I bought these adjustable sandals. I am disappointed that these aren't nearly as comfortable.
