These are the perfect Sandal. I have plantar fasciitis and high arches and Orthaheel is the only brand I can wear without orthotics. With sandals that's an issue. But the other Orthaheel sandals have the plastic footbed, which makes my foot sweat and slide around. I was so happy when I saw these and they have a leather footbed! And with a backstrap they are secure. The have excellent arch support, feel soft with no rough spots. I've bought two pairs!

When my husband saw these sandals on my feet he said, they look like they were made for your feet. And that is how they feet - made for my feet. The quality is very good. It is a handsome sandal. I have plantar fascia and look forward to wearing these soon on vacation in Arizona. I might buy a second pair. These are so nice.

Finally! A sandal with excellent arch support that doesn't look like an old fashioned orthotic shoe! I used to dread sandal season because it meant I had to give up my orthotics in my shoes. Now I have no worries! Just wish they had 1/2 sizes.

These are my 2nd pair of Orthaheels and I ordered one size smaller than my first pair. I normally wear an 11 but these run long so the 10 fits better than the Orthaheel 11. Only worn once, so far so good. Great arch support.

Bought this brand for the first time and really like this sandal with the back strap. Fits perfect. Would like to see more back strap styles.

I love these shoes. I am prone to getting plantar fasciitis so I have to be very careful buying sandals. These sandals are both attractive, comfortable and very supportive because of the heel and arch support. I'm thrilled. I wore them to a conference recently and had them on the whole day while walking a lot. Total comfort. Zappos performed wonderfully again. I got my shoes in record time with no shipping cost. When I emailed them about a different product they replied the same day. Love Zappos. Love my saucy new sandals.

This is the perfect shoe for my plantar fasciitis. The arch support could not be better! This shoe has great fit, comfort, and casual style--my feet are definitely happy!

This is an exceptional shoe. I have plantar fasciitis and cannot wear most "flat shoes." I wear these all day while I teach on concrete floors! They have a suede sole so they're not sticky or slippery in hot weather. One of my favorite buys!

Love this sandal! Feels comfortable just like a Birkenstock. All adjustable to fit my foot and size feels just right.

Great sandals. The navy is more of a soft dark blue which is very pretty. Nice looking and comfortable. I do not think the arch support is as high as in some of the other Orthaheel shoes. I usually wear a size 7, but consistently wear a size 6 in Orthaheel. This brand is great if you have high arches and need support.
