Review: Of ten brands tried, these are tied for the top! - I need a summer shoe that provides great arch/foot support, and that fits my feet. I recently rubbed the top of my foot raw with a new pair of closed shoes, so was looking for something that didn't rub that part of my foot. I have wide high volume feet: size 10 E or EE in Women's (usually a 9 EE or EEEE in Men's), a high arch, a high instep, and short chunky toes. I have recurring plantar fasciitis as well as pain on the side of my foot that both are much improved when I have enough support; with my high arch, it is hard to find supportive sandals (no orthotic can fit). Because there are almost no wide sandals or flip flops that also have support, my choices were limited and I had to try several average width shoes. But, we all have differently shaped feet, so what works for one in a shoe, will not work at all for another. I spent hours reading reviews, bought 4 pairs, and none worked. This time, I bought 7 pairs: Oofas, Birkenstock EFAs, Chacos, New Balance, Vionic, and 2 pair of Footminders. The Oofas were the first pair out of the box. It was so nice to put something on that was an instant possibility after the four failures earlier in the week. I ordered the 11W/9M because I figured I would gain some width and I usually wear a 9 Men's shoe. Initial fit - it was a bit snug. These are not sold as wide shoes; I was hoping that they would be both wide enough and have a long enough strap to fit over my high instep. My feet pushed into them with a bit of effort. The material is soft and doesn't rub, so I felt hopeful. Since I have had Crocs before and they are snug to start but stretch, I was also hopeful that these would stretch a bit over time. (Still have to see about that.) Width - For a shoe that is not sold as a wide, the footbed is wide. Not super wide, but wide enough for my feet, though I did size up a full size compared to a normal Women's shoe. Better yet, the thong placement was accurate for my chunky big toe. Often the placement is such that the inside of my foot hangs off the foot bed. In this shoes, my whole foot fit! Length - as suspected, they are a bit long. But, I did order up from my normal Women's size. They are not so long, however, to be a problem. Comfort and support - walking is like walking on...well, i do not know what! It is very soft and comfortable. Better yet, to me, is that the entire bottom of my foot is touching the shoe; that doesn't happen often unless I have inserts. Wear - no idea. Literally have had them a few hours. Will try to remember to post in a few months about how they wear and if they stretch out. Overall - these are a bit snug. If you have C or D width women's feet, order your normal size. E or EE, order up a size. If your arches are not high, they should be perfect. I have had them on while writing this and I can definitely tell that they are on my feet, but they are not cutting off circulation. There is still a lot of room past my toes, but I expect that with relatively short toes. See photos for more info.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best solution for foot pain.
*by A***R on March 19, 2026*

Wonderful! Makes walking pleasant in the recovery from plantar fasciitis. After a couple of hours wearing to let them adjust to my heal, it was like walking on soft sand at the beach... I've tried a lot of other inserts, shoes, taping, ankle supports, braces... The only thing that compares w/ these is my pair of OOFOS clogs! In fact, b/c of the experience w/ the clogs, I ordered this pair of flip-flops (sandals) for hot days at the Gulf Coast. The clogs were sweaty; these are cool. I was reluctant to pay the price for two pairs after buying and trying Flojos from Costco w/ reasonably good results, but these are lightyears ahead of even Flojos.
