Detailed Review
The Spenco Men's Siesta Canvas Slide Sandal stands out in the market for its thoughtful design and supportive features. The compression-molded EVA footbed significantly contributes to its comfort level, effectively reducing odor and keeping your feet feeling fresh throughout the day. With orthotic-grade arch support and deep heel cupping, you can expect enhanced stability no matter how long you wear them.

Furthermore, with a lightweight two-part outsole and a zero-drop heel lift, the Siesta provides a natural feel when walking, akin to being barefoot.
As for aesthetics, the charcoal color options lend themselves well to casual outfits, whether you're heading to the beach or just lounging around. However, some users have reported that the sizes tend to run a bit larger than expected, so trying them on or consulting the size chart is advisable.
Overall, if you're looking for a combination of style, comfort, and support, the Spenco Men's Siesta Canvas Slide Sandal is undoubtedly worth considering.

User Reviews
As a preface, I have bad feet, flat with over pronation. I have worn orthotics for decades. All the slippers I have had before were the usual flat bottomed ones. My feet hurt after walking on them on tile floors. Searched for something new....I put these on, and from the first slip of my foot into the sandal, it was one of the most comfortable shoes/sandals/slippers I have had. The cork insole feels great on my feet and the curve of it with the arch support, well, it feels like it was custom made for my feet. And I feel so much better walking on them. The cork does not breathe much, but that is not a real issue. And I live in Florida so I don't need those fluffy, wooly slippers. These are good looking enough that you could wear them on errands. At least here in casual Florida you could.My feet are 11.5, and the size 11 sandals are a little loose. Rare that you get a shoe that is too big instead of too small. But they fit well and my feet do not move around in them.In short, this is a great product, well-made, and designed for bad feet. They feel better than I had expected they would.
I am a big 265 and these shoes feel great very comfortable and offer a great amount of support considering it is a slip on. The sole and inner liner are a step above. On tile and wood floors they offer exceptional gripping great for older people who tend to fall. Definitely worth the money .
Very comfortable and supportive wear around the house
So far, these seem to offer the support needed for my high arches, but I need to wear them a bit longer to know whether this will hep to alleviate some pain in my left foot resulting from plantar fasciitis.NB: As these are not available in half sizes (I wear a men's size 10.5 shoe), I had to choose whether to order the next size up or down. Based on customer reviews and responses here, as well as my personal experience, I originally ordered these in size 11M. However, it was immediately clear upon first trying on this pair that the size 11 was too big -- not only was there a lot of excess space at the back of the heel cup, but the arch and metatarsal supports impacted the wrong part of my foot. I've since ordered and received a size 10, and these fit my size 10.5 foot perfectly. For those who normally wear a half-size shoe and are wondering whether to go up or down a size, I advise choosing the smaller size.I've bought these to wear exclusively around the house, as my physician tells me that I always need support for my high arches and should no longer go barefoot. I normally never wear shoes indoors, so I wanted a pair of simple, lightweight shoes that would be exclusively for inside use, but that still provide the needed support. Now that I have the correct size, the past couple of days of use suggest that these may well help provide the arch support I need, which I hope will help to resolve my plantar fasciitis issues. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (but not my toes) that I'm right!UPDATE: After six months of wearing these slides exclusively indoors, I can report that these alone have not provided adequate support for my high arches that I needed and had hoped for. However, after a couple months of wear, I simply removed the cork inserts in the shoes and replaced them with an orthotic designed for high arches and active use, and this does the trick. The shoes are still comfortable -- I wear them for at least an hour or so every day -- and as I don't wear them outdoors, I haven't had any issues with keeping them clean. I do recommend wearing them with socks (which is not my usual habit), as this helps both with the fit and keeping the insides of these unwashable shoes clean & fresh.
First pair lasted over 5 years and I wore the ever loving snot outta these things. I only hope they haven’t changed (like seemingly almost everything else). Ordering my replacement pair now and will update if there are any surprises.
I wanted something to wear in the house so not to go barefoot/stocking feet. They feel like nothing is on your feet. Very cool in temperature and stylish. My wife got two pair and I'm thinking the same; one for each in and out of the house. I went from regular slippers (no arch/support) to these and what an improvement. I would order a half size larger or full size if no half sizes available.
This was the second time I purchased these shoes as after about two years, the first pair wore out. I still use the first pair in the house. My second new pair is my out of the house pair. Great shoes, great arch support, and the support comes out so you can wash them in the washer and dry them in the dryer.
