SO COMFORTABLE-great for sciatica!
I have gone through so many pairs of sandals over the years in trying to find a comfortable pair that have a nice look to them but more importantly the mechanics to support the foot properly where needed so it can do its job in the way it's supposed to.You don't think that would be such a hard thing to find until you injure yourself and find yourself in pain on a near constant basis. I have three herniated discs, one protrusion and spinal stenosis coupled with sciatica in both legs courtesy of a motorbike accident years back.Needless to say, shoes are a very important commodity when it comes to proper posture and pain relief or at least subsiding as much as it can in correct stance.I previously had found the Skechers slides to be very comfortable the ones with the extra cushion. However, I noticed after time that standing still in them for too long or being out and about running errands for two big of a period of time my back would start to ache before I knew it.I had a pair prior to those of recovery slides. Just like these that I'm reviewing now where they are supportive and cushioned but the cushion is more solid so you are not stepping on a pillow as much as your stepping on a solid piece of earth.These are luckily just like the original I had in their design and I find these extremely comfortable. They have a good arch support to them and when I wear these around while trying to check off a million things for my list or if I do need to stand in line in place somewhere for a longer periods my back - while it's still hurts - It doesn't ache as quickly or as deeply.I am not saying at all that these are a cure all or the answer to sciatica. But I will say that I am a guy that lives in Florida and I work from home. So if I don't have to wear shoes I'm not going to and the next best thing is having a nice pair of slides to easily slip into and get you out the door.These are perfect in that respect. They're comfortable and they're not bad looking either. After owning a pair I have to say I don't care what they look like. I would wear them anyway. That's how impressed I am. Also, I will note that I'm leaving this review on a pair that is now my second. I enjoyed them so much. The first time I purchased that I had to buy a backup pair.This is definitely something that is going to remain in my shopping list essentials as long as they make them. And for you larger men out there, thankfully they come in a wide variety of sizes.Normally in a shoe I wear a size 14 and I did purchase these in a 14 but they were not as comfortable and felt like they ran a little small. So I purchased a 15 - It blew my mind that they even carried a size 15 because anyone who has bigger feet knows that is hard to find - But the 15 was perfect.I would definitely recommend sizing up if you're in between and I highly recommend just picking up a pair and giving them a shot because you'll definitely be pleasantly surprised and happy with your purchase.

I love these sandals. They took away my heels pain completely.
Excellent product. My heels were constanly in deep pain. The doctor told me it was because I walked barefoot all the time when at home and I should use orthotic shoes or sandals. The main brands are double the price or more. I don't think sandals should cost $70-120. Ridiculous. I gave these a try and I can honeslty say it changed my life. No more heels and leg pain. They are supper confortable. It's been one year and a half since I got them and I wear them at home or outside when I can. Strong material. I don't see them breaking anytime soon. Recommended.

Run large sizing.
Good value. Comfortable with great arch support. Run large though. I normally wear size 10 in every shoe but 10s are loose and a size 9 is the right fit.

Comparable to Oofos
Very comparable to Oofos but without the cost. This is my 4th pair. The slides are comfortable and true to size, they just don’t have half sizes. They come in different colors. Get you a pair. You will be pleased.

Comfortable but noisy
These slides are comfortable and have good cushioning, however after a month they started making annoying squeeking sounds that only get worse. I inspected them for damage, tears, wholes and there were none. If constant squeak when you walk doesn’t bother you, then these are fine. Otherwise look elsewhere. I would rate 4 or 5 if they were not making this ridiculous noise when I walk.

Surprisingly comfy
So I had just bought some Oofos and wanted to get some slippers to wear around the house. I have a case of plantar fasciitis and hard wood floors, so I need something to cruise around the house in that have some good absorption. With these being about half the price of Oofos, I thought I would give them a shot. I am usually about a 10.5 to 11, so I bought the 11’s. They were way too big length wise and the strap across the top was loose. I thought about sending them back, but remember someone complained about them shrinking when they let them in their hot car. (It may have been a similar slip on, I read a lot of reviews on other sandals).So I decided to risk it and stick then in the oven at 200 degrees for about 5 minutes. They were originally about 3/4” too big and they had shrunk about 1/2” after 5 minutes. I left them in a couple more minutes and let them cool down. They were the right length, but not the strap was uncomfortably tight.Oh no! I thought I had just tossed $30 down the drain. Nothing to lose now, so I put them back in the oven for a couple minutes (enough for them to get very warm, pulled them out of the oven and slipped them on. They were uncomfortably hot on my bare skin, so I put on some very thin socks, sat down and slipped them back on. (I didn’t want to walk around in them and compress the footbed while still warm.) I waited until they cooled. I tried them on again without socks and they fit perfectly! Literally form fitted to my feet.I have been doing a lot of remodeling around my house lately and have been wearing these a lot and my feet do not hurt at all even after 5-6 hours of being on my feet. I only wear these indoors. I would hesitate wearing them out on the hot pavement for an extended period of time, or leaving them in my hot car for fear they will shrink.These are very comfortable! These are not as soft as Oofos, but they keep my feet from getting sore all the same, and they seem like they will not break down as fast as the Oofos. Fingers crossed.

Comfy, slip resistant just ugly as hell
Love them for comfort and function. Ugly as hell but much more slip resistant to the Oofos I used to wear
