The shoes were cuter than I expected them to be, felt great on my sore arches, and fit well... the only problem was they dug into the back of my heel. I can't wear them without bandaids on my heels - even socks don't provide enough cushion to prevent sore heel spots. Solved one problem and created another.

Since finding the Orthaheel shoes, I have never strayed. These are attractive (yet orthotic) shoes and work well for people (like me) with bad feet. I love the arch support and great heels. I have suffered with Plantar Fasciitis and bone spurs and always had to put two sets of insole stuff in my shoes...what a relief to just put the shoes on and go!

Have been searching for months for a vegan shoe that is supportive, not too ugly and has a removable insole (although I have decided to use the original insoles. I have very high arch support in my custom insoles, so didn't need a breaking in period for these shoes). Very comfortable and lightweight. Will be ordering the black soon.

I wear an 8.5 shoe, ordered this one in 8.5, and my foot was swimming in it. I'd say if I'd ordered a half size smaller than what I needed it still would've been ample in sizing. These weren't quite as cute out of the box as they are in the pictures. Also, the arch support is soft and only moderate, which isn't what my painful, fallen arches need. In the same order I also ordered a pair of Orthaheel athletic shoes, as well Orthaheel flip flop type sandals and both of those shoes have firm (almost hard) foot bed and arch support. These mary janes do not have the same kind of support found in these other two Orthaheel products.

I ordered this Mary Jane because the Orthaheel sandal has greatly reduced the foot pain I experience due to a morton's neuroma. I wear an 8 in the sandal but in this Mary Jane I wear my regular size 9. The toe box is too narrow for me causing the neuroma to flare up. The plum shade is much more brown than purple.

These are pretty comfortable except for the stitching around the back of the heel. It cuts into your heel and is pretty uncomfortable. I snipped some of the threads which loosed it a little. Hope this won't cause it to come undone. The other objection I have is the type of material . Because it's all some kind of synthetic material it doesn't breathe at all. Would really like to see these made in leather. Would buy additional Orthaheels if there were more shoes instead of mostly sandals. I'm in the northeast so the sandal season is pretty short. But I do like the feeling of the footbed. Very comfortable for my flat feet.

Cute as can be! Loved the style, but just plain don't work with my narrow flat feet. The arch support isn't what I expected, & when I secure the strap tightly enough the strap tip has about 1/2 inch dragging on the ground. So, back they go, and thank you, Zappos, for making it so easy. I love Zappos!

I have this shoe in black and love it. I have a regular width foot but wider across the bunion area, and also I'm very sore and tender in that area. The black shoes fit comfortably across the bunion and allow wiggle room for my toes. The arch support is so good I don't have to wear my usual prescription orthotic. I was very disappointed then, when I ordered the same shoe in Khaki as it just didn't fit the same. It seemed to cut just a tiny bit higher across the bunion area and fit tighter there, too. Unfortunately I have to return that color, even though I was really looking forward to being able to wear those for the summer and save the black for fall.

This is a very comfortable, stylish casual shoe. It may take a while to get used to the arch support as it is high but I think is good for your feet and also for your back.

These shoes are incredible. My feet hurt for years before I started wearing Orthaheels. It took a few days to get used to my first pair a year ago but now I can order anytime and know my feet will thank me!

OK, I am about to contradict myself here, but the blue shirt is my favorite one here. It works well and does not look like a uniform shirt despite the plain blue color - this shirt is probably best not tucked in though. The overall fit is good and I would give 3½ stars for it (½ marks withheld pending the addition of stripes). The black shirt is worn by the same model as above, but it does not really suit the person - it os too dark and overwhelming for him. The fit is mostly good though. I would like those yolk seams on the back (both shirts) to be a little lower and straighter. (2 stars) The gray shirt (worn by Colin this time) is looser, but nice - it works quite well with it's relaxed look. The gray is quite good against the dark skin and the shirt in general sits well. The sleeves (though quite large in themselves) are balanced on the person - they do not overwhelm the rest of the shirt. A little ironing on the shoulder seams might be of benefit, but the shirt is good otherwise. (3½ stars) On a side note, I really do appreciate the more personal touch on this site. I also like the natural pose of the models (particularly Colin with the nice smile) as opposed to other sites that make models stand as if they are frozen solid or as if their arms were glued to their sides etc. Also, it seems that some sites have evidence of smile-phobia on the part of the people running them - like it is not airport security etc. It is nice to see real people modeling the clothes on this site. Well Done!
