Orthofeet 572 True Ortho Shoes

Reviewer: CAguy from El Cerrito, CA
I've bought other wide shoes to fit my orthopedic needs. While they were pretty low in price, they all failed in quality and durability...until this pair from OrthoFeet. Truly made for people with foot problems.

I gave this a 4 simply do to my personal taste. Having worn Nike Air Max for years until injuring my foot, this is a difficult style adjustment. BUT, it has the width I now need, and once I fooled around and came up with a two insole combination it is extremely comfortable for walking, standing etc. When I can't use FitFlops i am using these around the house. I have not tried them outside yet but plan to comver them with Totes and try today.They may be the only thingIcan use to cut grass this summer.
Wears this shoe: With pants, for walking with heavy socks, standing, etc.
Orthofeet 525 they dont look THAT bad
December 10, 2012
Reviewer: A.Y. from Springfield MO
I'll admit that I didn't feel the Orthofeet 525 looked quite as good in person as they did in the photographs on the site. In fact I wasn't real sure I wanted to keep them but my spouse said "they don't look THAT bad". They do feel a bit like wearing boots compared to my old New Balance shoes (that I wore EVERYWHERE), especially on stairs. They are quite comfortable, though, so I'll keep wearing them. I had to put in one of the (included) foam spacers under the removable insole in order for my foot to not move around too much. I'm not at all confident that the velcro strap will last nearly as long as my old New Balance shoes did. After just a couple of weeks it already seems loose at the end.
Wears this shoe: Whenever I am not sleeping or working out.
