Helps with my plantar fasciitis
I absolutely love these slippers so far! I've purchased many different brands of slippers that don't have enough support or wear out way too fast. I've spent on average, twenty to forty dollars a pair, a few times a year. Even though these are a little pricier, I feel like they are so worth it. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and my feet hurt quite often. These slippers give my feet support,they feel so comfortable, and they help with the pain. When I first tried them on they felt a little loose. But once I added the inserts they were perfect! I would definitely buy again.

Great winter slipper with arch support!
The media could not be loaded. Best Winter Slippers by far!!! It has an arch support which makes it comfortable for long hours on your feet and the adjustable flap gives a snug fit. It also keeps feet warm and cozy. Highly recommend.

Invest in what you EXPECT!
I’m a 24 hour caregiver and spend 99% of my time IN-home caregiving. SO I’m in slippers all day!! Originally purchased Cozylook slippers due to WHAT I THOUGHT was decent quality at a great price… after wearing all day, my feet felt like i was barefoot. My feet, legs, hips and low back started to ache. Submitted return and refund of the Cozylook slippers and decided to INVEST In QUALITY slippers!! YES IT COST WAY WAY MORE, but just 1 day in these ORTHOFEET SLIPPERS, what a drastic change. They can be worn outdoors as well, however, I do not track outside germs in my home so they are simply for inside. Comfort, warm, arch support and pretty darn cute. Feet, legs, hips and low back better already! Highly recommend!

Super comfy with inserts
I needed some slippers to wear around the house after developing plantar fasciitis. These were highly recommended so I thought I would give them a try. There are a number of inserts that came with the shoe that you can use to support your arches and heel bed. Unfortunately, none of these felt comfortable or provided the level of support I needed for my arches. I ended up added an orthotic support under the shearling foot bed. That made it the footbed gap until I walked on them a bit. But as soon as it settled, these have become the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I hate to take them off. I wasn't intending to wear these out - they were supposed to be strictly an indoor shoe, but I have found myself wearing them to the grocery store and quick errands out.Shoes are well made with a solid sole and gripping tread. I would expect these to last for many years.

Where have you been all my life?!
My mother has been looking for these shoes FOREVER!! They are perfect! Soft lining, cushion, hard soles, and extra wide. We couldn’t be more pleased. We ordered the tan, which is a nice neutral look.

FINALLY
I never write reviews unless something is outrageously awful or outrageously great.These slippers/house shoes are outrageously great. I wasted so much money buying cheaper versions and I could kick myself for that. These are everything you need to walk around comfortably at home. They are fully customizable.They come with extra inserts -- I could not believe it. They have an extra arch support that slips right in if you have deep arches, as I do. They come with 2 extra pads for the insoles. The top of the shoe is actually a flap that you can make tighter or looser.They're incredibly comfortable. They're not too hot but keep your feet warm.They are absolutely perfect.

Not an Orthopedic Shoe for Plantar Fasciitis or Achilles Tendinitis
The media could not be loaded. Their advertisement for this product is completely false. It is far too hard and the insole far to cheap to be suitable for anyone suffering from plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis, let alone heel spurs. I've included pictures that go with my explanation.A little bit of history:I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs on both the plantar tendon side of my heel as well as the Achilles tendon side, and Achilles tendonitis in both legs for about 6 years. Over time, with the use of really good sneakers that are specifically for plantar fasciitis, my planter tendons have healed. The bone spurs are still painful and the Achilles tendons are still tight and shortened. I wanted a great slipper to put on rather than having to wear a second set of sneakers in the house or even at work.This slipper is warm, not stylish but that doesn’t matter to me. It fit true to the size in both length and width. But this is where the positives end.I couldn’t walk in them for even 2 minutes. I was baffled as to why they were so hard and painful so I took them apart (slightly) to see what was going on. Here’s what I found:1. Falsehood #1: Their orthopedic insert is specially designed and excellentThis is 100% false. I’ve taken pictures to compare with a store-brand plantar fasciitis insole (taking care to cover up the name). In the first picture I laid them on top of each other (Orthofeet on the bottom) and you can see that the thickness of the ball of the insert is identical. Orthofeet brand does have holes in the foam that make it slightly squishier, but the consistency is very similar.In the second picture, I show you the heel of both insoles. The padding is identical “squishiness” and texture, and almost identical shape, size and location. Finally, I compared the arch support. In this third picture you can see that the arch supports are almost identical in thickness—though admittedly here the Orthofeet product is slightly more dense to the touch.As a final test, I took the Orthofeet insoles and put them inside my cheapo slippers that I previously had the store-brought brand insoles in. They feel almost identical.In truth, BOTH insoles are lacking in the actual support a plantar tendon needs. I know this because of wearing specifically designed running shoes for plantar fasciitis from an orthopedic surgeon. The arch support you receive in this type of sneaker is unparalleled to the insole support, which would have to be twice as dense and at least 50% higher (by my estimation).So—simply putting a slip-in insole, which would cost about $15 in a grocery store, is not worth the cost or wait of this shoe.So, what about the rest of the shoe? Maybe that’s where the real design is…2. Falsehood #2: The slipper itself is an orthopedic shoe designed for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, etc.The shoe itself is hard as a rock and flat as wood. In the fourth picture I show you the outside of the shoe—the insole side. In this picture is APPEARS as though the shoe would have insole support based on the rubber design. In the fifth picture, I show you the hard rubber bottom. This rubber bottom is kind of nice, dense but slightly pliable. If I were judging based solely on picture (which I did to purchase here on Amazon), I would think this slipper is ideal.Here’s the falsehood.Neither of these pictures shows you the real, yet hidden, design of the shoe itself. If you remove the inserted insole, the shoe is flat and really, really hard. As though you are literally walking on wood. In the short video, I took a moment to knock on this part of the shoe so you could HEAR how hard it is. (sorry for the weird position between my knees, I was trying to make sure the shoe itself was suspended so the bottom didn’t knock on anything—took me a minute to be able to video that). Finally, in the sixth picture I show you how FLAT it is as well. If I weren’t trying to get my money back, I’d cut these open to see what the heck they manufactured it with that could be so hard. Maybe it is wood!When you take an insole and put it into a cheap sneaker or a cheap store-bought slipper, at least you have SOME actual cushioning from the shoe itself and a mild amount of support from the insole. In the Orthofeet slipper, you have this rock-hard shoe with a passable insole.The combination of these two things makes the shoe unwearable for someone with heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.Based on this experience, I would recommend not purchasing this slipper and I’m definitely returning them immediately.

KIND OF DISAPPOINTING
I like the idea of these slippers. They fit well and can be adjusted. They are more comfortable than my old, regular slippers. However, the insoles begin to smell fairly quickly, and the recommended "spot cleaning" just doesn't cut it. The faux fur mats and sticks together almost right away and feels tacky. They also take forever to air dry. I checked out replacement insoles, only to find that they are very expensive. So, I feel like I'm back at square one, searching for the perfect and perfectly comfortable slippers.
