Our son insisted on ordering Orthaheel sandals for me and my husband. He has a pair of thong sandals that he wears all the time when he is at home. The Kiwi is perfect for us because we can wear them with or without socks. My next purchase will be orthotic inserts for my husband to wear with the athletic shoes he already has. When they are worn out, we'll only by Orthaheel from now on.

This is my first pair of Orthaheels. I wish I had known about them years ago. I chose the slides because of the open toe. I need a size 12 normally, but have a VERY hard time finding stylish, comfortable shoes in this large size. My feet are on the narrow side too, so the adjustable strap is a great benefit.

I love the Kiwi Slide. I'm on my second pair now. After spending tons of money and countless hours in therapy for plantar fasciitis, my foot feels best in these slides. I just wish Orthaheel would make more dress shoes.

I purchased three pair of Orthaheel shoes within the past six months. I was diagnoised with adult flat feet and received a perscription for orthodic inserts. I bulked at the cost of the inserts and purchased the Kiwi and started wearing them indoors instead of walking barefoot. I liked them, experienced improvement and found myself wearing them outdoors and then washing the soles to wear indoors. I ordered the Melissa that was not available in my favorite color, but obtained my size. The Kiwi is more comfortable so I ordered another Kiwi same size and color, so I could have the style to wear both indoors and outdoors. I have told several people about my experience and given the Orthaheel brochures to individuals that I think may benefit. Most importantly, I am walking pain free.

I have really enjoyed this slide this is my second pair . The first one ive had for a year and my husband bought me another one for christmas. I have nevre damage in my feet and im a diabetic and i dont complain with my feet at all when wearing this slide. Bought toe socks to wear with them in the winter so that helps a lot.

A friend told me about the Orthaheels & so decided to try the sandals. They work great for plantar fasciitis & also have Morton's neuroma. Bought 1\2 size smaller than normal shoe size-they're GREAT Going to order another pair soon!

I have Fibromyalgia and I use to wake up with severe lower back ache stiffness that I thought was due to my illness. And as if that wasn't bad enough I started to develop a pain at the bottom ball of my right foot and on the side. I also use to get a sharp pain from the inside of my right knee area that wouldn’t let me sleep. I researched the feet symptoms and somewhere your website was recommended.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was the moment that I slipped my feet into your sandals. They are incredibly comfortable. The next day I noticed that my lower back pain wasn't as painful and stiff, by the third day I noticed that all the problem areas I mentioned above were rapidly going away. I ordered a pair for my husband and he loves them too. I mentioned this to my physician and he requested your info to give to his patients who complain of similar problems. Bless you for this is truly a great product. Thank you. jo

I purchased the shoes for my 80 year old mother. The shoe was extremely comfortable, felt great on her feet. She could tell right away that they were aligning her legs, ankles, knees, and spine. She followed the instruction to the letter and only wore them for a couple of hours at the time. Mother is not on her feet a lot, and even when sitting her feet were contouring with the shoes and aligning her. After the first two hours they began to get painful so we took them off until the next day, then we proceeded again with the short term wear. After 30 minutes she was in so much pain that we took them off. We feel that even though the shoes were doing exactly as advertised, it was too severe to try and straighten up her misalignment all at once. We are going to go to a podiatrist and see if we can get corrective shoes that do a gradual realignment instead of one that tries to correct it all at once. I have returned the shoes and am waiting for reimbursement.

Footbed is wide but adjustable top helps. My feet severely overpronate to the point of chronic severe pain. These slides help me walk almost pain-free. I have 7 pairs of Orthaheel sandals/shoes. I wear nothing else.

I loved the idea of the built in orthotic sole of the Kiwi Slide. Unfortunately for me, I have arthritic feet so the hardness of the inner sole itself was too hard and I had to return the shoes. The orthotics that I wear with my shoes have a cushion making my current shoes tolerable. I am sorry the Kiwi Slide did not work out for me because I desperately need a slide I can wear with a sturdy outer sole for slippers around the house.
