This shoe was a steal at less than $40!  It is a beautiful Hershey chocolate color and is extremely well made. Online it appears to be varying shades of brown but in fact it is not.  There are sections that are sueded and they appear another color online.  The stitching is in a tan color and accentuates the chocolate color.  The sole is idential to most of the other Orthaheel shoes and has the waved pattern on the bottom.

Usually I order a 9.5 in all regular Orthaheel shoes.  I usually order a 9 when only whole sizes are offered.  I have never had a pair not fit perfectly by using this method...until now.  When I put this shoe on it fit perfectly heel to toe but the straps stood up off the top of my foot about 1/2 inch.  Because of this they just flopped when walking.  I was so disappointed since I knew a 9 would be too short.  Then I got an idea...I have the proform full length inserts I use to wear and put one of those under the removeable footbed.  I then replaced the Orthaheel footbed and they fit perfectly!  Lucky me.

My daughter purchased a pair in black size 9 and they fit her fine and she had no problem with the straps being too high off her foot.
