OrthofeetMen's Orthopedic Leather Avery Island Casual Shoes

My husband loves these shoes! For a number of years he has suffered from planter fascitis, which robbed him of being as active as he likes and being able to remain on his feet for long durations of time. In addition to that, he has ongoing back issues, after having ruptured two discs. A few years ago we found a shoe brand and style that helped greatly. Although the shoes appeared well made and cost just over $100, the tops of the shoes would begin to separate from the soles after just a few months of wear. He job is that of supervisor; although he can do a lot of walking in his work day, it is inside on hard floor surfaces and carpeting - not outside on rugged terrain. Therefore, we expected the shoes to wear longer. After having to replace four pairs of shoes in just a two year period, we decided to shop around for another shoe option. Luckily, our research brought us to Orthofeet. Encourage by the positive reviews, I ordered him a black pair; they arrived in good time, well packaged. He normally takes a size 10 or 10.5M. But due his problem toenail issues and the fact that these shoes also come in double W (which made me wonder whether a M might run a little narrower than normal), I ordered him a size 10.5W.These Avery Island Comfort Orthopedic shoes fit my husband's feet like a dream and were 100% comfortable from day one - requiring no breaking in period. He loves them so much that I came online today to order him another pair, in brown. Thank you Orthofeet for manufacturing an orthopedic shoe that does what it should!

I am so excited to write this. I am 79 years old and I have had three strokes so I can't walk. I just stand up to transfer, but I have hammer toes on both feet that were painful night and day. I had relief from the time I put these shoes on. I highly recommend them.

UPDATE 2/3/2018 —- This is my third pair of these shoes. I walk 4-6 miles every day with my dog for health reasons, averaging 30-40 miles per week. These shoes are so comfortable and tough that they last about a year of such punishing usage (about 2000 miles a year) and I would not consider getting any other shoes for exercising. The fit has been perfect each time, and the quality never varies and remains high. The rest of this review remains as true today as when I first wrote it. —— Substantial heft to the shoes. Fit was perfect for me, and I liked the fact that the maker includes two pairs of spacers (1/8" and 1/16") that the wearer can use to put under the insole to make the fit more custom if the shoe seemed too loose. The extra wide toe box is a blessing to me as I have problems with my toes crowding in on each other with shoes regularly available elsewhere. I am looking forward to getting a lot of comfortable use from these shoes (I walk 6-8 miles per day to control diabetes) based on how they fit. Fast delivery through USPS.

This is the second pair of shoes that we have purchased. They fit as expected for the size. Neither too small nor too large. They give you inserts that can adjust the fit if you need it. The quality was good and similar shoes sell for slightly more at some of the on line retail catalog shops.My husband is happy with the fit, and it makes his feet feel a bit better.

What's to say other than I'm on my feet 8 hours a day and these are my go-to shoes.A happy customer.

The is the second pair I've ordered. I like the style and fit. I only wear them about 3 hours a week, and the first pair started having problems in less than a year. The soles started separating from the uppers. Glue and small nails kept them together for another year. But at the end of two years, with very limited wear, the whole sole on one came apart. I liked them well enough to try once more.Along with various paperwork and accessories was a note to see the enclosed paper on returns. Same message was on packing slip. But there was no document enclosed that spoke to returns. Fortunately, this pair fit good right out of the box.

WELL BUILT

In my day job, I work as an expert witness. This naturally involves being in courtrooms and swanky law firms, in which highly polished floors are common. For literally years, I've worn the same shoes (by Ecco) because they were the first nice looking dress shoes I'd ever found that were comfortable on my flat feet. But there's a problem with the Eccos, and I always seemed to forget about it until I got on one of these beautiful polished floors: On such floors, my old Eccos squeak. So every time I'd walk up to take the stand, it was EEP! EEP! EEP! EEP!I finally decided the squeak had to go. I didn't want to try another Ecco style because they'd probably have the same sole and the same problem. I kept seeing ads for the Orthofeet and decided to give them a try. OH. MY. GOSH. They are indeed the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever put on. They put the Eccos to shame. Soooo cushiony, and made even more so by the gel insoles that came with mine.They fit perfectly in every way, that cushioned step lasts throughout the day, and they don't squeak. ;)I'll be singing the praises of OrthoFeet for the rest of my life, and I just cannot recommend them strongly enough. All pros. No cons. Get some!
