Has anyone ever bought/worn Orthofeet shoes?

Yesterday I went to get fingerprinted for TSA pre check and decided to go shoe shopping afterwards. I'm going to the UK in the Fall and wanted some comfortable shoes to wear. I picked some Sketchers at Rack Room after trying on a dozen or so shoes. Trying to find something made like a tennis shoe but not look like one exactly. I finally picked a slip on but the heel slips a little. Took them home after buying them to try a thicker sock, but it didn't help.

So, I'll be taking them back tomorrow. They have a BOGO deal most of the time so I was going to also get a new pair of tennis shoes too, but the one brand that fits my feet, Saucony, had very few and none in my size.

I went searching when I got home, after I found the Sketchers I bought weren't going to work. Found Orthofeet website and started reading reviews and looking. I found a pair of tennis shoes and ordered them. Just wondering if anyone has ever worn them, and how they like them? Are they well made? This shoe is a slip on but has laces that you can adjust to make them fit better. They do have a 60 day return policy so that's good. I was hoping for something less tennis shoe-like but was worried about heel slippage again, on the slip on ones I found on their site. I can always take some short booties in case I need something a little nicer looking. I was hoping to just bring one pair of shoes. Wish they had a store that I could go try them on at.

Yes, Orthofeet shoes are fine, come with orthotics to modify each shoe to your liking. I returned a pair once with no problem at all. Other brands like Saucony are more stylish, but the wider toe box in Ortho makes them comfortable which is most important. I’ve practically walked the bottoms off mine. But if I get Saucony in wide they work too. Laceups are best because they can be modified to properly support the sides of your feet.

My former mail lady told me about Orthofeet shoes. It's what she wore when she had a walking route (our neighborhood). I ordered some and they were really good shoes for me. I bought a regular athletic type shoe and it was very good. I also bought Orthofeet flip flops and they are good too. Good arch support. For doing a lot of walking, I wouldn't go with a slip on just because you have to "hold" them on more than a regular shoe. They are well made.

I've purchased orthofeet (orthoheel?) sandals and they've lasted for years, very comfortable. I recommend!

I have a friend who loves Sun Drop so much she wears the bottle caps as earrings to go with her constantly worn Sun Drop T-shirt! Maybe I just don't know what the intrigue is about this beverage yet I live in the South where everybody seems to advertises this soda, but have yet to try it. Goes along with the area's RC Cola or Nehi Grape - they only get out of the South in a suitcase. Nancy

it depends on how many existing floors are already there. for vinyl tile, think 3 is about the limit...you might want to take a single tile and check if doors will close, nothing will be blocked... i like the armstrong brand, from the big 2...if you need or decide to replace,it can be done..a little messsy but dh an di foud a quick way. we used the steam floor cleaner! it loosen up the tiles really well...used this special adhesive remover from home depot for the excess/leftover glue. (stinky! but worked)

I am so sore in my legs and Butt I can hardly get out of my chair! LOL I love these shoes. I have very, very sensitive feet and shoes and comfort have been an issue since I was a kid. I also walk 5 miles a day on my treadmill and some days do an extra hour on the rebounder so I am putting a lot of stress on my feet. They hurt most of the time. I have only had them for 2 days and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had (and that includes some very expensive shoes).Yesterday I did the thirty minute workout that comes on a DVD with the shoes and that is why I am so sore. LOTS of squats and lunges. Lots. That is why I am sore. I also walked 5 miles. Today, I walked 5 miles and then shopped for the remainder of the day (5 hours). The idea is that these shoes force you to walk heel to toe like you are walking in sand and also makes you walk with better posture. Do they tone your butt and thighs? I don't know that but I am already thinking of buying another pair so I have a workout pair and an everyday pair.

has anyone ever purchased a pre-owned fur coat

Hi 3cats... just to offer friendly feedback on a point you made (I'm not arguing/lecturing and don't care what you do :) You seem to feel that because you are ok to wear leather that there would then be no reason to reject fur. There is a big difference which is why most people who wouldn't be caught dead in a fur will still wear leather. Yes, while it would be ideal to be leather free too, leather is a byproduct of the meat industry. No animal is suffering in order to provide you with a pretty coat, unless you are wearing exotics. That is unfortunately not true for most animals with pretty skin. If you care about animals or the message you are sending, perhaps you will want to consider a coat made of something that is also being raised for food.. then you can be as warm as you'd like but not sacrifice your values (if you didn't say you were sensitive to the issue, I wouldn't have bothered pointing this out). On the pricing issue.... my mother has a nice old mink that no one in the family has been willing to wear for at least 20 years. My sister brought it by a furrier last week and was offered $750 for it. They will obviously be selling it for more. So, I guess the prices do vary quite a bit. Cyn427, Thanks for that info. I didn't know it was possible to get down humanely if it wasn't eider down. I'll have to look into that because I try to make humane choices when it's an option. I have an eiderdown comforter and it's the most wonderful thing, albeit not inexpensive. On that note, 3Katz, if you want something warmer and lighter than fur, an eiderdown coat would be superior in every way. It may not fit into your budget though. There is no fur coat that could compare.

I am soon to be traveling as well, and joined a FB group for travel fashion and several people have praised those. (these are real people). I was in the market for new sneakers/ walking shoes but finally decided the trip is too soon for me to determine if the new shoes will work ( I tried on so many in real stores).....so I will be bringing my very broken in skechers. I will try again shopping when I return. I did buy some very good and comfy and durable walking sandals, Teva Tirra.pictured here

Well Kath, you talked me into ordering a pair. 😃 For me, taking long walks = eventual plantar fasciitis. Sure am tired of it.

@sjerin I've had plantars and it sure is troublesome! I saw a youtube video about taping options for plantars. I had never heard of that, and when I had it, I would have tried taping. You might take a look.

I like my Saucony but I wore them to Japan a few years ago and after walking so much I was in a lot of pain. Started taking more taxis on way back to our hotel/rentals. I'd walk to the place we were going or train station but then take a taxi back due to pain. That's even with a Powerstep insert. Hopefully these shoes will be better. I wish I had lost about 25 pounds, that would've helped. I'm trying to cut out a lot of sugar in my diet and do some walking and working in the yard this summer so hopefully can get rid of a few pounds anyway.

I've got a pair of Orthofeet tennis shoes and they are a good fit. I ordered a 1/2 size up for sock wearing. However, I can truthfully say these SAS walking shoes are the best I've ever had. Previously the pain in the feet was so bad after walking for a few feet. I've owned several pair and they are excellent.
