Had some previous Spencos that had worked out and needed new flops. I have history of Plantar fasciitis so I have to be careful in flops. These were stylish as well as comfortable with the arch support I needed. We live in a warm climate so flops are essential. While I think these were a bit overpriced I would still buy them again as they were cute and comfortable and worth paying a bit extra not to suffer through regular flat flip flops. These were also more durable than the Spencos I had bought previously.

I have high arches, short achilles tendons, bone spurs on my heels, the beginning of osteoarthritis and malformed joints in my big toes. In other words, my feet are a mess and started giving me lots of problems after I decided to train for a half marathon 3 years ago. These are the first sandals I've been able to wear all day with zero pain! I'm not ready for "old lady" shoes, so I'm very happy I've found these cute shoes! I have a narrow foot, but the thong style and contoured sole of this sandal keeps my foot supported and not flopping out of the shoe. I also ordered 1 size down. I plan on ordering Orthaheel shoes again!

These are very comfortable and dressier than the Tide flip flop. I think the arch is not as high but still has excellent support. I have worn these all day with no discomfort.

After not being able to walk for six months due to plantar fasciitis, these sandals are a life saver! I can wear them all day with no pain.

I was very disappointed when I realized they were not leather. I cannot wear manmade products.

I have these sandals and they are very comfortable. The only thing I have against them is that they make your feet sweat. They need a sock lining in them,

I love these Flip Flops. If you wear a half size, you need to order the next size down.

I love that I can buy flip flops with a built in arch support. I have back issues, and this type of shoe is a necessity. These are so comfortable I bought another color and another pair in a different style.

I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the shoe that supports me. After ten years of looking and a closet full of shoes I can't wear, finally an attractive flip flop I can wear! Love this shoe, the arch support is just right, and it looks so feminine.

These flip flops are very comfortable while providing wonderful arch support. In addition, the design gives a touch of dressiness to otherwise very casual footwear.

I love these shoes! They're so comfortable, I can walk all day in them and my feet feel great. I can continue to wear them in the evening as they are stylish and go with almost anything. They are perfect for summer travel because they are so versatile.

Great shoe for dress or jeans. I like the Amalfi look and wearability. Felt good from the moment I oput it on.

These are very comfortable shoes. The look is conservative, more than I was looking for and the fit runs too small. I take and 8½ to 9 and this 8½ was slightly small for my comfort. Had they been less conservative I would have returned them and gotten the 9 but I will look for another style instead.

This is a really nice sandal. It's hard to tell by the picture, but it features both gold and pewter accents. The bottom has a lot of cushion and would be great for walking. I have narrow feet so I was excited to see this sandal came in multiple widths, but unfortunately the straps are a little too tight for comfort. Maybe they leather would loosen up over time, but for this kind of money, the fit cannot be questionable (I foresee blisters). Back they go.
