ORTHAHEEL Women's Relax Slipper, Black Terry, 8.0 M Review

I had significant foot pain for over a year (misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis but was really an accessory soleus muscle causing tibial nerve compression). These are the only shoes I have that relieve the pain completely. I've had these slippers for about two years now, and they've held up very well. They have a durable sole (can be worn briefly outside), soft comfy straps, and perfect arch and heel support. The straps are secured with velcro, making them easy to adjust as your foot swells throughout the day. The fabric under the big toe area and ball of foot is wearing away but doesn't cause any discomfort to my skin. The slippers are not easy to clean so I try to wear socks with them as much as possible, but due to an unfortunate pet accident I needed to throw them into the washing machine. I put them into a laundry bag and washed them on the delicate cycle, then dried in the sun. I thought that might be the end of my slippers but happily they are as good as new! I really can't say enough good things about this slipper.

Good support. Shoes stay on well and are adjustable

These slippers are perfect and great support and comfort. Highly recommend !

Changing my review from 3 star to 4 stars. Once my feet got used to them, the slippers became more comfortable. Best of all, they relieve the symptoms of plantar faciitis.**********************************************The good news: these shoes have the arch support I was looking for due to my plantar fasciitis. I can also wear them with socks in the winter. They appear to be well made.The not-so-good news: My feet slide forward in them, making them uncomfortable to walk around in for long periods of time. The straps are adjustable, however, at least in the case of my feet, adjusting the straps tight enough to keep my feet from sliding forward causes pain across the top of the foot where the strap hits. If only the straps were padded with memory foam, these would be the perfect slippers.However, I needed some slippers that I could slip on when I get up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. For that, they fill the bill. I just wish they were more comfortable for wearing around the house all day long.So I guess I'll keep looking for the perfect slipper.....so close!

I admit it: I thought these were ridiculously overpriced from the get-go, and only bought them in a fit of desperation, because the pain from my plantar fasciitis was becoming unbearable. I wasn't expecting to love them, but it turns out, I do. First off, they're comfortable. Really, really comfortable. I would wear them to work if I could (and at least once, I forgot I had them on and wore them to the grocery store). They're well made, and hold up to heavy use (like wearing them outside, on the deck, on cement, etc. They're not ugly (and as a bonus, the design is subtle enough not to grab the dog's notice -- which is important, since she's a lab, and hence, a notorious shoe eater!). But most importantly, they really seem to help with my PF pain. I should caution that they take a little getting used to -- the arch support felt weird the first few days. But they seem to get more comfortable the more you wear them. And they definitely help with the pain when worn regularly. I would highly recommend these for anyone struggling with PF pain. I never thought I'd say this, but despite the price tag, they're not overpriced at all because they really do the trick! Highly recommended!

These hurt my feet on the side for some reason. I returned. Too expensive for what they were. My less expensive ones very simular fits better.

Having foot problems, this brand has been a lifesaver!!! These were the only shoes I could wear before my foot surgery, and still are my favorites....this particular pair are slippers (not regular shoes), and I wear only at home. SO COMFORTABLE! My daughter has episodes of plantar fasciitis, so I sent her a pair. She says they go on as soon as she gets home from work, and all she wears at home.The Vionic sandals with the flowers (in leather) are my "go-to" shoes to look nice, but still have comfort. Have them in silver (the pair I wear the most), black, red, brown, and blue. Even my picky 25 year old daughter had to admit they looked nice (tho I had to force her to even TRY them - I bought them and had them sent to her). She normally wears only Chacos, and other practical "granola wear," which I find to be comfortable but chunky and unfeminine, or inappropriate with a dress. We wore them walking all over in Europe, & going to nice restaurants this past summer (for a month! probably walked 100 miles) and never had a problem. Can't wear heels anymore, so these do the trick without looking" frumpy" in warm weather. I would recommend ANY STYLE this company makes.

I have worn this type of Vionic slipper for years. This pair that I ordered from Amazon in summer 2021 is awful. I’m not sure if Vionic changed the slipper or if the pair I received are not true Vionics. The material is a softer feeling. But worse, the footbed is terrible. If you’re spending money on Vionic brand it’s because you need arch support. This pair has none. The footbed feels totally non supportive and flimsy. I have have at least 5 pair of these over the past few years. I am so disappointed in the ones that Amazon shipped. I am past the return window, otherwise I would send them back. My worn out ones I’ve been wearing for 10 months are better than these. Just awful.
