Customer Reviews Orthofeet Sanibel

Like the other pair of Orthofeet I tried, this pair felt great. But they look just so ugly. If they had only tried a little harder to make them look like real Mary Janes. I tried them on umpteen times before deciding, literally 15 minutes before leaving for the airport, that I just could not wear them.

Not comfortable. The stiff felt cut into my little toe. Though the shoe was fairly wide, it was not wide enough. Midsection is too narrow; my foot did not feel stable when I walked. Dissappointed.

Strange shape to these shoes. Not nearly enough room in the toe box, which was shorter and more pointed than an orthopedic shoe should be. Also the straps were short for people with high insteps.

I have bought other Orthofit shoes in same size and width that fir wonderfully. Yet I couldn't adjust the Sanibels to a comfortable fit. Also the shoes looked a lot clunkier than in the picture. Too bad.

Fit and size were fine. Yes they are ugly but comfort has been an issue as I have achilles tendonitis and bursitis so I needed the ability to adjust the heel tension to my tolerance. I have tried all the suggested alternatives but NONE had this feature which has been critical to wearing shoes. If this shoe gets grubby wearing it a lot in my garden and general home wear I will buy another pair. I will use like sneakers which I have not been able to wear.

The shoe has a tremendous arch support. Unfortunately, the shoe was not the style I wanted, and am returning it However, in the future if I want a closed semi-dress shoe with great arch support, I will look for it again.

I love these shoes, even though (since I have huge feet), they look slightly clunky on me. But many shoes do, for the reason previously stated. But what's great about these shoes is they come with insoles, (one 1/8", one 1/6" full foot, and one that just extends from the ball of the foot to the end of the toes region), and a plastic J shaped piece that you can insert under the primary insole, along with as many of the other extra insoles as you'd like to add, and together with all of the above, the shoes fit me excellently! The padding makes the foot bed more comfortable as well. I love that they allow you to add what you need to get the perfect width fit. My problem has always been that Narrow width shoes are still too loose on my foot most of the time. These added features fixed that problem! I appreciate that they added those things, and was surprised didn't even mention it in the description. I did however end up taking an 11.5 size instead of my usual (I thought) 11, but maybe my foot is growing. I really recommend them. The straps are also quite adjustable, unlike many other brands that give you very limited adjustability. My only recommendation is that if they'd cut the top part of the shoe down somewhat to give more the appearance of a "flat" style shoe, it could look better when worn with a dress.

They are a little too short compared to my other shoes. The company includes 2 extra sole inserts and an arch insert so the shoes can be tailored to my feet.

Great product! For vanity, I would suggest a softer more feminine look (two colors, etc(

I bought these after an ankle fracture to wear with an ankle brace. They are much easier to use than lace up tennis shoes. I bought the extra wide, which is perfect and the extra art support is wonderful. Not my favorite style but at this point I am thrilled to have any shoe that fits. Strongly recommend

These shoes look very well made. But the fit was a bit strange. The sole stuck out from the heel in a way that made me feel as if I were walking oddly. I think another reviewer noted that they were just too unattractive to wear. I tend to agree. Had they been more comfortable, I would have overlooked that, but they just didn't work for me.

This Sanibel shoe fits more narrowly at the forefoot than other orthofeet shoes and seems shorter. I have flat feet, with narrow heels and a wider forefoot. The heel strap pinched and the strap looked like it was trying to pull up excess material. I might size up and try the more enclosed Mary Jane version.

I did not like the look once it was on my foot.

The fit was alright but the hill pad and straps are not stable or comfortable. Just can't wear the strap design, and I've tried.

Sorry, nope. Back they go... Very unattractive!

SO comfortable

Always had a hard time finding women’s shoes that fit, so I tried these out. Length is great and they’re a bit adjustable. Got the wide width just to make sure, and it feels almost a bit tooooooo wide, which is new to me! Cushy and supportive, a nice general use shoe.

These shoes have good support but it hit my foot in the wrong places. the width was good, it just didn't fit my foot well so I am returning them.

Too wide for my foot.

I liked them but they felt too wide.

The wrong shoe was delivered to me. I still want the right shoe. I ordered the same shoe in 2 different sizes so I could keep the one that fits best. But I didn't receive the Sanibel in 11N. I received a completely different type of shoe, AND the inserts that were included weren't even the right size for the shoe they sent! They sent me a women's 11 N which is what I ordered in Sanibel, but the inserts were Men's size 11, and one was crimped. I'm attaching pictures of the label on the boxes of the Sanibel 11 1/2 N, which I ordered, and of the other shoe, which they sent me instead of the Sanibel size 11 N. Also a picture of the shoe they sent in error, with the wrong size insets.
