Women's Orthopedic Stretch Knit Walking Sneaker

I have been wearing this brand of shoe since late last year because severe plantar fasciitis in both feet made walking agonizing. I originally bought a pair of Orthofeet Mary Janes, needing a pair of shoes that could be dressed up or down after experiencing the ordeal of finding a pair of shoes I could wear to my son's wedding and walk without crying. Those ended up alleviating my foot pain to the extent that I decided to give a sneaker style from the same brand a try--hence, this purchase. My plantar fasciitis flare-up began last September and I made my first Orthofeet purchase probably in November. (I can't find a record of it on Amazon, so I might have bought it straight from the brand's website.) By February, when I purchased this pair of shoes, I had already begun to notice a difference. There was some relief from the first time I tried walking with this brand of insole, but the longer I continued to do so, the more improvement I could feel in my foot pain. I think the arch support in the Mary Janes fits my foot slightly better than in these, but these shoes have become my go-to for everyday wear. The few "cons" I can think of with this particular shoe are as follows: 1. They squeak. The insoles in my other two Orthofeet shoes do not, so I don't know why this particular shoe is different, but unfortunately it is. However, I can live with squeaky insoles if that means being able to stand and walk around with little to no pain. 2. The toe box is not quite as room as I would prefer. The moment I get home, I switch to my Orthofeet sandals, or even to the Mary Janes. However, I think going up to a Wide shoe might make them fit too loosely in the heel area. Those are literally the only problems I can think of with these shoes. The insoles are great and the level of arch support can be tailored to your individual foot's needs. (I need the additional rigid support that goes underneath the main insole.) The insoles are removable and in theory could be used in other shoes if they also have a removable insole, but I haven't tried this yet. The sizing seems to be accurate for me, aside from preferring a slightly more roomy toe box. And I haven't experienced any tendency to slip in these during wet weather, which is a plus for me since I had a bad slip-and-fall back injury a few years ago and prefer to wear shoes as non-slip as possible now. (By the way, since wearing these insoles, I have also had greatly reduced to nonexistent back pain, so I suspect my previous lack of proper arch support was hindering my healing from my back injury.) I have since purchased a pair of summer sandals in this brand and will collect other styles as I can afford them. (Because price is the other drawback to this brand, though it is still in a reasonable enough range that I'm willing to pay a bit more for the pain relief.)

Finally! I found shoes with the support I need and comfortable to wear. I've experienced foot problems for years having to wear flat or low heals. I am now retired, but can't count how many shoes and inserts I purchased when I was working. I suffer from bunions, wide feet, arthritis, overpronation and need arch support. I've been wearing these shoes for a week now and have to admit my feet and legs don't hurt when it's bedtime. Before my feet and legs hurt so bad. They come with orthotic insoles including an arch booster. At first I put the arch booster in each shoe. But after wearing a couple of days, my right shoe felt tighter so I took out the arch booster and only need it for the left shoe. With my Atmos shoes, you can tell by the shoe how much my left foot turns outward (pronation). These shoes are designed to correct foot alignment and I'm anxious to see if it helps. Although a little pricey it is definitely worth the extra money especially if it helps with foot pain. One other thing. I have knee pain as well and already can tell a difference. Granted I may always have some knee pain even after a total knee replacement, but I feel these shoes are helping. I would definitely recommend.

Very comfortable Fits true to size. Does not accommodate my AFO brace as well as I thought

Purchased for an upcoming trip. Loved the fit, roominess in the toe box & very good arch support. Great for doing a lot of walking/sightseeing. Very comfortable even at the end of the day. Washed great, air dried.

My kid overpronates so much he pretty much walks on the inside of his shoes. I looked for shoes that would help him correct this and these came up. He only likes bright colors so the turquoise was a hit. We put in the arch supports but they were loose, so we put in the 1/16th filler as well. Even with that, the back of his foot was rubbing against the shoe, which is stiff and rides up high. I thought it was just because he was wearing ankle socks so sent him to school in quarter socks that completely covered the area. He was in terrible pain from the rubbing by the end of the day. I checked the listing and they show a woman with no visible socks, so this shouldn’t be a problem, but it is. I read through the reviews and found several people who also had pain from rubbing. I wish I’d been more careful because now they’re worn outside and can’t be returned. I did read one review that said the rubbing resolved after she broke the shoes in, so I’m going to put a cushion bandage on my kid’s heels and hope it resolves. Otherwise, we just wasted money on new shoes that hurt him and won’t get worn =(.

The delivery was great because the shoes came two days early. The very first day I received them, I looked at the inner sole of the left shoe, and it was not intact (see photo). I wore them anyway with two days from the delivery day. That is the day the heel came off as I was walking. I could not walk safely that way, so I had to take it off the rest of way. The size was good, and there was no foot pain despite the broken inner sole.

I use reorder these maybe 2 times a year. They r comfortable for my feet. I have morons neuroma and bunions and need xtra wide orthotic shoes. These have made my feet feel better than any other shoe. So I keep buying them. I recommend them. If u have bunions..make sure n get them wide or xtra wide.

I had to order a size larger to get on comfortably but since I ordered the larger size they're perfect I just love these shoes. I'm not quite used to them yet I still untie and tie them when I put them on but I'll get used to them because they're very comfortable. Unfortunately I pulled too hard on the strings when I first got them to try to tighten up the shoe with my foot inside and it pulled out of the hole but I just sewed the little tab together and it's working fine I'm not giving up the shoes and it doesn't look that bad cuz the shoestring kind of hides where I repaired the shoe. Note; don't pull too tight on the laces you can pop them out. Tighten slowly and gently when putting them on

Na maandenlang last te hebben gehad van mijn kleine teen, kan ik eindelijk zeggen: pijnvrij! Deze orthopedische sneakers hebben echt een wereld van verschil gemaakt voor mij. Wat direct opvalt, is de brede voorvoet van de schoen. Mijn tenen krijgen eindelijk de ruimte die ze nodig hebben, zonder druk of wrijving. Dat alleen al zorgt voor zoveel meer comfort tijdens het lopen. Daarnaast voelt het echt alsof ik op wolken loop. Zelfs langere afstanden zijn geen probleem meer – iets wat eerder echt ondenkbaar was. Geen stekende pijn meer, geen ongemak, gewoon ontspannen kunnen wandelen. Voor iedereen met voetklachten, en vooral problemen bij de kleine teen of voorvoet, kan ik deze schoenen absoluut aanraden. Voor mij zijn ze een echte gamechanger geweest!

Expensive but i think it is worth every penny i spent

Never shop from this store if you live in Canada. You pay a fortune to return and wait for ever to to get your money back. I am still waiting for my money.☹️

Sehr gut im händling und im tragen, schuh ist sehr leicht und bequem.

Ich habe bisher zwei verschiedene Paar Schuhe bei Orthofeet Europe bestellt. Die Bestellung war innerhalb weniger Tage bei mir ( Montag abend bestellt, Mittwoch geliefert) Einmal musste ich retournieren ( Schuhe etwas klein) was kein Problem war. Der Retourenaufkleber liegt bereits dem Paket bei. Auch die Rückerstattung wurde umgehend abgewickelt. Die Schuhe selbst sind sehr sehr bequem und bieten viel Platz. Habe die zum Schnüren und die Hands free. Nur zu empfehlen, Schuhe und Verkäufer 😊
