Orthofeet Charlotte Orthopedic Women's Slippers

These are the winners! I’ve tried many pairs of orthopedic type house shoes/slippers. Price was no issue. I needed something to be really comfortable for wearing only in the house. And they needed to be slip on. I tried many pairs of vionics and didn’t like any one bit; yuck. I tried haflingers, which I really loved in several ways BUT they didn’t provide the structured support on top and sides for my problem. I have ankylosing spondylitis which also affects my feet. One foot has messed up joints and bone spurs growing on the side and top. I can no longer go barefoot in home ☹️ because having a high arch and walking on tile/hardwood is so painful. In warm months I wear oofoo flip flops which are great. But now in winter I needed warm shoes/slippers that I could wear with socks and throw on quickly. I waited to review. I’ve now been wearing daily for over a month and half. These have a good bottom sole if you want to wear them out to get the mail or whatever. I don’t wear out; I’m keeping them clean to wear inside on carpet too. They have an arch support, but I do wish it was a higher support( I have a high arch). They have 3 different things you can put it, like layers, to your desired thickness. Very customized. And I love how the top flap has Velcro to adjust the snugness around foot. The top is suede/leather with good structure so my foot is supported on the sides. Very cozy on the inside for winter (although I do wear my Darn tough wool socks). So yes, I have found my house shoes and hope they last several years.

UPDATE September 7 2023 Just received my 3rd pair of these slippers. They last about 5 years before needing to be replaced. I wear them every day, even in the summer, because the support is so good. Mostly around the house and sometimes in the yard. On rare occasions I have worn them to the grocery store because I forgot to change. The arch support is good, but I add orthotics because I have a very high arch. Keeps my plantar fasciitis under control. Definitely recommend these slippers if you have plantar fasciitis and bone spurs on your heels. In addition to orthotics, I also add J.T.Foote Alaskan Wool Felt Warm & Dry Insoles from Amazon when the original inner soles need replacing. The price has gone up considerably since I bought my first pair, but the comfort is so good, I am willing to pay the difference. ORIGINAL REVIEW Love these because they fit well. I keep them handy to use when I go out. They are sturdy enough for outside use as well as inside slipper use. I did add extra padding because I have bone spurs on both feet. No problem with adding padding. I plan on purchasing another pair or pairs since I like them so well. 11/08/2018 - Update: My Orthofeet Charlotte Slippers are still going strong. The fleece is showing wear and tear because they are 5 years old. I have worn them every day, inside, outside, summer and winter, and laundered them inside a pillowcase once or twice a year. I brush out the fleece to fluff it back up. They have held up very well and still give my feet the support and comfort they need. I said I would buy another pair when the time came but the price is now $79.99 instead of $62.00. Big difference, so I am going to keep wearing the old ones for as long as I can. It works out to $16.00 a year if the new slippers last as long as the old ones. I will definitely buy these again just not right now.

I have purchased a lot of slippers but these are by far the best I have found. I have narrow feet so being able to Velcro them tighter as they stretch helps out a lot.

I'm on day three with these slippers and I am very happy with them! I have severe sarcoid arthritis in my feet and ankles and I am very limited on the shoes I can wear. I cannot walk barefoot under any conditions because of pain and I HAVE to have house shoes. Granted, I am never without pain in my feet, but these slippers definitely help with the early morning stiffness in my feet. I cleaned the house yesterday and wore them pretty much all day without any issues. I read several reviews that stated they were too hard and not enough arch support; I disagree. I have flat feet and again, have severe arthritis in my feet. They are not your typical $10 slippers that have the "memory foam" bottoms. they have a supportive sole and I can see how some would say they are too hard for them. If you're used to wearing cheap and super soft soled slippers, then yes, these will be too hard for you, but if you need great support and something sturdy, then these will be great. As for the arch, it is not a huge arch, but works perfect for me because I have flat feet. Anything higher would just hurt my feet due to the lack of arch in them. The insole is removeable, so if you prefer a better arch, simply put in your own insert. If you do so, you will only lose out on the soft sherpa-like lining that lays on top of the insole. there is about a 1 inch heel on these, but it's more like a raise of the entire slipper than an actual high heel so you don't feel like you're wearing "high heels." I bawked at buying these because there is no back to them and was afraid they would slip off my feet. I can certainly say that they do not slip off my feet, even without socks. There is an adjustable strap on the top that allows you to tighten or loosen the slipper if needed. I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 because they make my feet sweat. These will be great in the winter as I live in Michigan, but for all year round, they're too hot. I'm trading the temperature of my feet for the comfort and pain relief though so I will deal with it or simply wear socks with them. Also, another reason for my 4 stars instead of 5 is because they arrived with a small stain on the top of them. Due to the light brown color and the suede material, the stain is very noticeable. Fortunately, I'm only wearing them in the house and the hassle of returning over a small stain was not worth it to me. However, I am a fan of black and would have loved to have seen these offered in that color; also this color will help to avoid noticing such stains described above :) Please let me know if you offer these in that color in the future, as I will certainly buy them! I will update my review as time goes on if I encounter any problems. Otherwise, I would highly recommend these slippers, especially if you're a foot pain sufferer like me!

My mother loves these she said so comfortable. Very expensive not sure the value is there.

Comfy

They seem to run big. I bought my usual size of 7 1/2 w and had to exchange them for 7 Wide. Extremely comfortable.

Finding the perfect gift that balances genuine utility with everyday luxury can be a daunting task, but I completely struck gold when I picked up the Orthofeet Women's Orthopedic Charlotte Adjustable Faux Fur Lined Slipper for my wife. She spends a tremendous amount of time on her feet and frequently complains about heel pain and tired arches by the time evening rolls around. I wanted to find something that felt like a warm hug for her feet but actually offered the structural support of a premium shoe. Right out of the box, the beautiful taupe finish and the classic whipstitching around the toe box gave these slippers a sophisticated, high-quality aesthetic that she instantly loved. ​What truly sets this footwear apart from the standard, flimsy house shoes we’ve bought in the past is the brilliant integration of an adjustable strap seamlessly woven into the design. The Charlotte slipper features a discrete hook-and-loop closure across the instep, allowing for a completely customizable fit. Whether she is wearing thick winter socks or experiencing a bit of foot swelling after a long, exhausting day, she can instantly tweak the tightness for maximum comfort without any uncomfortable pinching. It is incredibly satisfying to see a product engineered with such thoughtful adaptability, ensuring the shoe conforms exactly to the wearer's unique foot shape. ​Of course, the real magic happens on the inside. The plush, faux fur lining extends all the way through the interior, providing exceptional warmth and an undeniably cozy, cloud-like sensation with every single step. But underneath that incredibly soft exterior lies Orthofeet’s signature orthotic engineering. The premium orthotic insole provides anatomical arch support that actively realigns the foot and improves overall body posture, while the cushioning heavily mitigates impact on the heel. Watching her walk around the house, I can noticeably see a difference in her stride; she has mentioned multiple times that her usual arch fatigue has practically vanished since she started sliding into these every evening. ​Another major win is the phenomenally sturdy, ergonomic sole. Unlike traditional slippers that wear out in a month or offer zero protection from hard tile, this model is built on a durable, rubberized outsole with a mild rocker design. This means she has exceptional traction and stability on our slick hardwood floors, and the thick base completely absorbs the shock of walking on hard surfaces. It also adds wonderful indoor-to-outdoor versatility. She can easily step out to grab the morning paper, water the porch plants, or walk the dog down the driveway without needing to switch into her everyday street shoes. ​Ultimately, investing in the Orthofeet Women's Orthopedic Charlotte Adjustable Faux Fur Lined Slipper has been an absolute game-changer for her daily comfort. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every stitch, and the materials have held up beautifully to daily, rigorous wear without losing their shape or supportive integrity. It is rare to find a product that successfully marries the plush luxury of a premium winter slipper with top-tier biomechanical support. If you are looking to treat someone you love to an unparalleled relaxation experience that genuinely benefits their foot health, I cannot recommend these enough!

They are pretty comfortable, I have an Achilles heel issue and the have not aggravated the Achilles at all.
