Orthofeet womens Lace-up

These shoes are awesome! I suffer from sciatica and have been on the hunt for a shoe that helps, or at the very least doesn't make it worse. I was very skeptical to try a shoe online without trying them on first, especially with the price, but based on the other reviews, I decided to give them a try.The first time I tried them on, they felt like they were tailor made for my foot. I know that sounds weird, but so many times I try on a shoe and you have to wiggle and jiggle to get it to fit right. These fit right off the bat. The true test was when I would stand and walk for any length of time. They still felt great and over time, I'm able to walk longer distances without as much pain.One of the best features of this shoe is that the laces tighten very easily. So many shoes now days you have to tighten each row up the shoe, but this shoe is made so that you pull the laces and all the eyeletts tighten at once. It's like how the shoes used to be. They stay tight all day long (you don't have to retie them 1/2 way through the day). They are a good style and they have a nice weight to them. They aren't too heavy, but they aren't feather light either.Since I'm so happy with these shoes, I'm going order another pair so that I have an alternate. I'm also going to check out the other styles (maybe tennis shoes). If you are waffling about whether to spend the money for an orthotic type shoe, I highly recommend you do.

I was not advised/prescribed to use an orthopedic shoe, however, this is the 3rd time I've purchased this shoe, because they are so comfortable. Over the years, they eventually stretch out and I need the support, so I buy them again. (Lace-ups better adjust the fit, but this is the only nice enough for work.) This time, I tried a 1/2 size larger than usual, because of a recent foot measurement. Although a bit large, I can use thicker socks during the winter. I happily received the shoes three days after placing the order. As advertised, it helps with my arch and plantar pain --but also eases with my ankle pain, and provides excellent all-day cushioning. I was pleased to receive a special orthotic insert along with the shoe at no added cost. My only complaint is that the shoe doesn't come in brown. After I bought my first pair maybe 8 or more years ago, I wrote to Orthofeet requesting that they offer the shoe in brown, but to this day, no brown. :-[ Other than that: I'm devoted to this great shoe! :-D

Excellent fit. Came with 2 additional liners for added comfort which i appreciate. I bought these shoes for work but I was hoping they had defined heel only because thats what my uniform requires, but I like how they feel, they are soft but not so soft it wont protect your foot. I will wear them with my jeans and will start looking for something similar with defined heel.

Very comfortable but the soles fall apart - 3 pairs so far and all fall apart due to flexing and cheap materials.The shoe is comfortable but they do not last even one summer.

The shoes are comfortable and perfect for wearing with slacks, but I bought these specifically because I suffer with Plantar Fascitis and these shoes make little difference in comparison to any other shoe with a bit of arch support. I did like that they come with a few inserts to lift your foot inside the shoe....it's not advertised as such, but my one of my legs is a smidge shorter than the other due to a car accident and it's helped with my gait.

Product arrived on time and packaged well !!!The shoes are very well made and stylish not to mention very comfortable for being on your feet all day ! I too wish the were made in brown . Laces are nice quality too not those thin round ones .

I previously owned a pair of Orthofeet loafers which fit very loosely, which was great on days my feet were really swollen. I wore them 5 days/week for about a year and then my feet started hurting really bad again (general but debilitating, bottom-of-the-foot pain). I then ordered this lace-up style due to new job requirements. I wanted to try Orthofeet's insole but found that made the shoe too tight so I took it out and put in my custom orthotic along with the thicker spacer and got a nice snug fit. I wear these shoes with a light support knee-high and the fit is great. After just wearing the shoes for a short time, I felt the relief of my feet not hurting at all. I am going to be doing a LOT more walking with my job and I was worried about being able to do that without being in agony. These shoes fit the bill. I now know that I am going to have to replace the shoes regularly though. They are worth it!

This is my third pair of these shoes. I have lower back and hip issues, and flat feet, and these shoes are so supportive. I stand all day and must wear a uniform. I was wearing the issued shoes and when I switched to these I immediately felt a difference. I even have my coworkers purchasing this shoe for work. Thank you so much for making such a great product and for having it available on Amazon.
