Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I ordered a size 7 as well as I size 8 because of other reviews saying this slipper runs small. I am a true size 8 - & don't have a wide foot - the 8 works perfect for me. I'm wearing only a few hours a day so my feet can get used to them as suggested by Orthaheel. They have a 30-day guarantee so I'll see how they feel at the end of that time.

I got these because I was really hoping the orthaheel would keep my feet from rolling out (have corns on the outside bottom of my foot from this tendency). Although they did not provide enough support to prevent this problem, they are still relatively comfortable and wearing them changes my foot dynamic enough to help limit my foot pain in all my shoes. I wish they made the Orthaheel sandals in something other than thongs (which I hate); it would be worth a try. Overall, these are worth the money for me.

Very comfortable and supportive. Brought me relief immediately! My only complaint is that the straps allow your foot to slide toward (or over) the outside of the shoe! But don't get me wrong, I wear these in the house every day, without fail!

I've had a hard time finding slippers--wide foot, high arch. These work fine in that regard because the velcro fastening gives plenty of room. The heel cup keeps my heel from sliding around. The sole is quite thick and so I occasionally feel a bit "sloppy".

I find that your feet slide to the side of the slipper. Sort of slanted. I have tried to adjust the strap with no avail. Very uncomfortable.

Okay, I'm torn. Lately my feet have been hurting when I'm standing/walking on my hard wood floors for long periods of time. Having very low arches and history of foot issues, I decided to be proactive and spend quite a bit on a pair of not so attractive house slippers. I am trying to love these. But I'm not sure if they fit right. The arch is quite hard and it feels like it's jabbing into my foot. And I'm an 8.5 and I got the size 8. I'm not sure if my heel is falling into the right place on the shoe. I'm going to give it a try and wear it around the house this weekend and see if they start feeling better. They are heavier than I expected. Definitely a solid shoe. But they are so unattractive!

The slippers really look like slippers my grandmother used to wear. I'm 38, so I feel very old and ugly wearing them, but they do function the way they should for my plantar fasciitis. My major disappointment is that after only 3 weeks, the Velcro doesn't seem to work well on one slipper. It pops off making me slip right out of the shoe. :( That is a big problem.

My first high arch support slipper! The fabric is very soft yet this construction is super supportive to my arch. Immediately, I believe there is some relief to my low back pain, but time will tell after making this my new house slipper. I followed other reviewers' suggestions to order a smaller size than usual. The length for me is perfect but the width is crowding out my little toes which are of course in a very softly covered space. Hoping it will give a little with wear. There is a velcro adjustment for the width but not making a difference to the somewhat narrow platform on which my little toes rest.

Give them time. These are better than average house shoes. I almost returned them because the arch support didn't feel like anything special. For this price, I wanted a really comfortable fit. I waited a week and tried them on again. I liked them a bit better. Because they are open-toed and not super insulated, I wanted this style to wear during the warm months. I wear these daily inside the house and outside to grab the mail or dash out to my car. The soles hold up fine for that. I haven't washed them yet- no need and they still look clean. They have loosened to the point that I've had to adjust the velcro closure a couple of times already. That concerns me but if these last two summers they will be winners in my book. For the price, I want more than 6 months of use from them. I wish there was more selection for slippers with arch support.

I have tile floors and hate to walk around barefoot. I had a pair of Acorn slippers which are comfortable (and lots cheaper), but not for standing any length of time on the hard floor. These are perfect for running around the house; standing in the kitchen for long periods, etc. They are not the most attractive, but they are comfortable. Very soft. I think they do run big. I wear a 6 and these are more of a 6.5 and wide. But the velcro helps the width. My feet are very glad I bought them. Since I have been wearing them, my heels no longer hurt when I stand around for hours in the kitchen or schlepp around the house. These are my first Orthaheel, but I'm going to be looking for others.

I do love these slippers. They have dramatically helped my Plantar Fascitis. I wear them all the time in the house. The only thing in my negative column is that they do not clean well. Once they get slimy on the foot bed they are done and, at least for me, this happens long before the slipper is worn out. Too bad.

These ugly slippers feel better in-store than at home. In the store they feel like a huge relief on tired feet with plantar fasciitis, but after wearing them around the house for several days, easing into them as recommended, they are still not very comfortable. It is almost as if there is too much arch support, if that is possible.

Prior to getting these slippers, I was having trouble walking, in the evenings especially. Then I purchased these slippers based on the reviews. They are fantastic and I have only had them slightly over a week now. I wear them constantly while indoors, because I just got diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and heel spurs on the bottoms and backs of my heels. I use to walk barefoot while in the house, while cleaning and cooking. Anyway, before going to the podiatrist, I got these slippers and wow. I am amazed at just how much they help. They are comfortable and mold to the shape of your feet. The only downside I can think of is that they aren't machine or hand washable. This past week I have worn them with socks and without. In just one week, they already have a smelly feet odor, which none of my shoes ever get. They seem to be well made and of course the pink pattern with grey dots is so girly, I couldn't resist. If you have to wear them all of the time while inside, they might as well be cute. I have a high arch and narrow feet, just in case you are wondering. I wear size 11 in my Brooks sneakers and size 10 in my Fitflops. 10's were sold out in this pattern so I went with a size 11. They fit perfectly! Highly recommend if you are having plantar fasciitis and need a slipper for indoor use only. These are it, look no further.

These have the same fantastic arch support as Orthaheel's awesome Carla sandals. They look cushier than they feel, though, because of that support. The terry liner and upper are soft and warm. This style is great as it offers support and enough warmth for winter yet doesn't make my feet sweat (which is my problem with majority of slippers). I've yet to get the perfect fit on the top closest to the ankle since that is where I had a broken bone and it still aches sometimes...wish I could loosen it a bit without having it too loose closer to the toes, but overall the velcro allows you to a better fit than other too-wide Orthaheel shoes. Thanks Zappos for letting me try these with free shipping!

You definitely have to gradually get use to these slippers as the inserts states, especially if you have any foot issues. They are clunky, I didn't expect them to be quite as heavy. However, the longer you wear them the more comfortable they become.

These are some of the most comfortable slippers I have ever owned. They have wonderful arch support.

I bought these for wearing around the house so I could have support when doing house work they are great.

This is my second pair of these great slippers/sandals. I have flat feet and a bunion and these shoes have soft uppers and a nice firm arch support. The service from Zappo's was excellent as always.

Good support, but I had trouble keeping them on my feet. Returning them for the Orthoheel closed toe slipper.

These are the best slippers in the world for people with foot issues. I had bunion surgery and my doctor recommended them for post operation. At first the arch seemed extreme but you just need to let your feet get used to it and then it is a relief at the end of the day. I love them. They do run short as some others have said. Buy them. Your feet will be happy!

A supportive and sensible slipper. I'm glad I got them. I love the flexibility provided by the velcro closure. I would prefer a closed toe for the wintertime, but Orthaheel's closed toe slipper is entirely too wide. I'm very pleased with the Orthaheel Relax Slipper - primarily because it offers support which is not easy to find in a slipper.

Little heavy of a shoe. Womderful slipper if you have hardwood or tile (hard floors) and if you have anything wrong with heel or achilles. Stable and quality made. You do have to retighten often. Fast shipping.

These are the only slippers I could find that had excellent arch support, which I need because I am prone to plantar fasciitis. The velcro straps make them adjustable and they are soft and comfortable. I love the Orthaheel Wave flip flops and this has a similar, but cushioned footbed.

Wow, first day in, I thought these were fantastic! No break in period for me, I loved the therapeutic footbed. Second day, top of foot pain! Why? Those big, thick straps velcro together, and the bottom strap follows a straight line down the top of your foot! Tighten them enough so you don't slide - pain. Loosen them enough so no pain - they slide off your feet. Will try this brand again in another style.

These slippers have been great for my feet. I am sold on these slippers with a firm sole and arch support. I thought just having a soft sole on my slippers would help my plantar fasciitis, but these slippers are much better for my feet.
