Orthofeet Mens Avery Island

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 have neuropathy in my feet and swelling and metatarsalgia , sensitive and painful metatarsals. My current shoes are size 12, WWW and are still too tight. I bought the Avery Island style shoes by Orthofeet in size 12, extra, extra wide. It's very difficult to buy shoes over the internet without trying them on, but I was pleasantly surprised when these shoes arrived. They were very comfortable without any break-in. The sides come up straight and the shoes are wide at the top with a lot of space over the foot behind the toes. This is where my feet are swollen quite a bit. The shoes fit loosely without being floppy. I was able to remove the supplied insoles and insert my own soft rubber insoles with an arch support. The shoes themselves have a soft, cushioned bottom. This combination has reduced my pain and discomfort by about two-thirds. I can now leave my shoes on for quite a while without having to constantly remove them for relief. The shoes look very nice and look well-made. There are probably better shoes out there, but shopping over the internet makes them hard to find. These are keepers and have improved my walking and standing comfort by quite a bit.

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.

If all you are worried about with these shoes is comfort, especially because you have flat feet like me - they are fantastic. They are very comfortable and I wear them to work every day for the most part.Unfortunately after a few months the bottom layer is pealing from the front - I have super glued them once already and it's doing it again now. They are still comfortable though, but if this continues I won't wear them to work any more because it looks...cheap and sloppy.Overall the look of them isn't very dressy - they really do look just like you see in the pictures. They're more like a sneaker than anything but it works for business casual. Just not very stylish looking in my opinion.For my next shoe I'll try to find a different style or something, but I definitely need some that are as comfortable as these. I recommend them, but I have to take a star away for them breaking up a bit already.

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.

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.
