Vionic Women’s Gemma Mule Slipper - Comfortable Spa House Slippers That Include Three-Zone Comfort with Orthotic Insole Arch Support, Soft House Shoes for Ladies

Super comfortable. Works great after my toe fusion surgery. Gives support where I need it.

These are the most comfortable and supportive slipper. The fit is perfect and the look very nice.

I love Vionic slippers. They have good arch support and are very comfortable.

I bought these slippers (they're really more like "mules" than slippers) to help with my plantar fasciitis, and after only three days, I can feel a significant difference in my foot pain. The arch support is fantastic, and it doesn't hurt my feet like some orthotic insoles or shoes can. However, the fit is wide - and I have a medium-width to wide foot. The length is just right though. I am a true size 9 and these are a perfect fit - except for the width of course. I'll wear socks with them when it gets colder - which will take care of the width a little. Having said that, I'd rather them be too wide than too narrow. These slippers are also very VERY warm - which is fine if you have cold feet and live in a cold climate. But I live in sub-tropical Charleston, SC where it's mid-October and we still have the A/C blasting. Another few weeks and I'll be grateful for their warmth, but until then, I have to take them off every 15 minutes and let my feet breathe. I can tell already I'll be using antiperspirant on my feet when I wear these slippers. :) Finally, because of the design and width of these slippers, they look big and clunky on my feet. In other words, they're ugly. LOL. If, like me, you don't care how they look, you won't mind. I'll only wear them around the house anyway, and I bought them for support, which I was NOT getting from the traditional slippers, slipper-socks, casual shoes, flip-flops, and Uggs I was wearing at home. In summary, I'm glad I spent the extra $$ for these quality-made slippers. Being pain-free is worth more than money AND looks.

Best purchase I have made in a long time. I wear these around the house instead of going barefoot, so my planter fasciitis does not act up. They are warm, easy on-and-off, and very supportive for overpronation. Only downside is they are on the wide side, but that doesn't affect their effectiveness.

The very best most comfortable slippers I have ever owned. I have plantar fasciitis and these slippers, accommodate my feet perfectly. Well worth the cost.

The good news: The "aaah!" factor is very high; when I put on these mule slippers, my feet feel gently cradled and supported, exactly as hoped. The fit and feel of the supportive sole is the same high quality as in all Orthaheel footwear I have purchased, with plenty of room under the ball of my foot and excellent fit throughout. The terry material used to cover the slippers is soft and silky and adds a luxurious quality to them, increasing the comfort factor, and making them candidates for best slippers ever. The bad news: sadly that very terry cloth covering is also a problem, because it is so soft and slippery that my foot slips sideways when I move (especially if I change direction e.g. to turn into a room), which usually causes the back of my foot to slide off the supportive heel cup. Since the whole point of buying Orthaheel slippers was to wear them around the house when I return home after a long day in heels, it is disappointing to find these slippers do not perform well when actually walked in. Since even something as simple as cooking dinner involves walking with changes of direction (between fridge and counter and sink and cupboard and stove and back again), these slippers do not do the job. To sum up: I like many things about these slippers, but will not repurchase because of the slip factor caused by the terry covering. If I hadn't already recycled the box I would have returned them. I will only use these when I am planning to stay put on the couch with the barest minimum of walking. I will continue my quest for another slipper model with equally excellent arch and heel support that holds up when I move. In the meantime I will wear my Orthaheel mule sandals loosened a bit to accommodate some fluffy socks--not a very glamorous look, but much better performance.

I just love the Gemma Mule Slipper, and I have worn it for years. I don't know what I would do without it as it was made for feet like mine--it's built-in orthotics and fit helped me get over plantar fasciitis and a torn arch tendon. I wear a custom orthotic in my street shoes, but for around the house, these are my go-to slippers. I used to go directly to Vionic to purchase them, but when they were discontinued, I bought these here at Amazon so I wouldn't be without my favorite slippers. They are made of soft terry cloth, which only lasts about 3 months. The Velcro closure allows me to adjust my slippers as needed.
