Overall, I really like your shoes. The athletic-type shoes that I bought are very comfortable. However, I suffer from a large, wide foot with a high instep. I would like to be able to wear your shoes to work in my office, but all of your dress shoes cut into my instep and you rarely have a wide shoe, which is probably important for the clientele you are advertising to, namely folks with foot and knee problems. I would love to see a simple, dressy lace-up built on the same order as your sneakers, but without the pattern and colors.read more

Love these shoes! The only thing I’d add (and I say this as someone in my 60’s without a lot of natural padding left on my feet) is extra thickness built into the soles of the shoe to cushion against impact better.read more

Great company. Really comfortable shoes. The soles really are special. It was a new feeling compared to altras and some of the other wide toe box shoes I've tried.

Love my new Dream flats. Historically I've worn shoes with support and even orthotic inserts for years, having foot, knee, and hip pain. I've tried the OESH sandals and 'gym' shoe and look forward to adding the flats to my collection. These flats are cute, simple, versatile, and comfy. I even bought my daughter-in-law the flats; and I never buy other people shoes. Thank you for continuing to develop these shoes into better and better versions of the OESH!read more

My mother loved her shoes (the soft tennis type shoes). She has a bunion problem and these shoes work really well. However, as she is 92 years old she also has a problem tying her shoes. A good friend has solved this with some kind of pull on the shoe strings and then release a mechanism. You probably know what that is. I just thought I would throw that out to you. It’s just a thought. You have a great product. Chuckread more

OESH has very limited business hours one day a week, but it's worth that small inconvenience to get these wonderful shoes on your feet! Service from the two person staff is great and they are able to answer all your questions.

I have very high arches and plantar fasciitis. My husband found these shoes while doing some on line research. I have only had them a little over a month and am quite happy with both the shoes and clogs i purchased. The clogs are a loose fit and work best for me in the house or on flat surfaces only - and not when i am kicking the ball for my dog!. My feet feel less pain if i tape them and wear these shoes consistently. I have ditched my shoe inserts which i have been wearing for years. Waiting to see if my knees allow this, so far so good. My challenge is winter and cold temps when i have to wear other shoes and boots - as i do a fair amount of walking in wet and cold temps. I haven't worn athletic shoes in over 20 years, but the navy blue shoes work fine with jeans and the clogs would work fine with dress pants, i am very grateful for the fuller range of colors!Would love to see overboot (rain) or a fashionable winter boot. Thanks for a great product and easy shipping.read more

I just bought my fourth pair of Oesh shoes. I have osteo arthritis in both knees and have had a recent knee replacement. These shoes have been the best option for me for the last two years. They have plenty of support for my feet, and being that they don't slope up at the heal, they don't put extra pressure on my knees so I don't feel as much pain after walking a lot. I've mostly worn the LaVidas but I also wear the Elites at work since they look a little nicer for the office, and I find them comfortable as well. I'm so glad I found OESH!read more

Best shoes ever.As a physician who performs procedures, I need to stand in place for long periods at a time. I was having issues with my feet. It was affecting my ability to work effectively and truly had me concerned.I tried all sorts of shoes including the best sneakers, Danskos and even Birkenstocks to no avail.Then I came across Oesh and their Elite shoes. I tried them on at their local store/workshop. And the rest as they say, is history. Two years later, and far from Virginia, I recently ordered my second pair online. I will always only wear my Elites to work.Life-changing good!read more

I love my Elite leather clogs in Dark Earth. I've been wearing La Vida for years for Jazzercise. I decided to spring for a pair of the Elites and I'm so glad I did. They are simply the most comfortable and supported shoes I've had. Lightweight and I don't feel like I have a cast on. My feet and legs feel great in them. I went away for a few days with a lot of walking and the only thing I noticed about my feet was they weren't sore! I have a little neuropathy in the balls of my feet - tingling and soreness if I walk a lot outside - but none of that in my Elites. They are heavenly! When I come back inside I am sometimes a little hesitant to take them off - they feel that good. I like them snug and use a shoehorn to ease them on under my heel. Thank you Oesh! PS Love the brown and would like a pair in a lighter tan.read more

I bought a pair of the “Lea” shoes in Storm Cloud color. In photos on the website this shoe appears to be a light green color or a lavender color, depending on the photo. I would have been happy with either one. The shoes I received are neither color but are definitely gray. This is also a good color and I was happy to see them. They are extremely comfortable. I’ve had surgery on both feet and currently have a neuroma plus 2 stress fractures. These shoes have helped tremendously to decrease my foot pain. The only problem I had was to see a label inside the shoes stating “Made in China”. As per the following, I was lead to believe that these shoes were made in Virginia. VISIT US ON SATURDAYS BETWEEN 12PM – 3PM AT 705 DALE AV.OESH manufacturing is clean, green, and sustainable—the envy of the Goliaths—and we ship our footwear to OESHers on every continent.

I have had painful feet for several years with fallen arches and bunions. I researched shoes that could help alleviate the pain but also look professional for work and I found OESH.

I love them so much that I just purchased a pair of Elites in dark earth! They are well made shoes and very light weight! My feet are happy for the first time in years!

I have a pair of black Oesh sneakers. They're very comfortable and lightweight. Their zero-drop, foot-shaped design allows for ample room for the toes to spread, and the sole is soft, flexible, and well-cushioned. They also have a pretty streamlined appearance compared to other foot-shaped shoes. I hope they manufacturer will consider making a lace-up shoe in leather.read more

I have several pair of Oesh. The sandals are fabulous for everything—especially walking to the grocery store and post office and neighborhood coffee shops. The La Vida make Jazzercise class so much easier than other kinds of shoes I’ve tried. Sizing has been a little confusing. My street shoe size is 7. The size 8’s are a little big but workable.

These sneakers are the best. I got them just before a trip to Disney World and I am so glad I did! Tons of nonstop walking over 6 days and I was the only one not complaining about sore feet after the first day. Even at the end of the week, no pain. If I wear shoes with less support I generally end up with back pain as well and experienced none of that this trip. These shoes are amazing. I did wear my normal sandals out the last night and totally regret not just wearing the sneakers . Might be time to get some OESH sandals as well!read more

New design is good but I'd order another of the previous design if you'd bring it back.read more

I injured my knee in 1992 but never had the recommended surgery. I've had good luck until recently when trying to go for a light jog and suffering for 2 weeks after where I had originally injured my knee. I read about these shoes for walking/jogging without causing knee pain, and when my knee started feeling better, I decided to order them and give them a try to see if I could get back out there. They arrived the size I ordered and normally wear, but my feet were squished. I contacted OESH by email and they sent a pair in a size larger immediately, while I sent the tight ones back to them. I tried on the larger size and going from size 8 to size 9 did the trick. They are wonderful and I have been jogging on a track with them and no knee issues and feet feel fine! Hooray and OESH was wonderful about the exchange and made it easy. I'm motivated for exercise again, thanks to these shoes.read more

I began with one pair of La Vida in saguaro and a pair of Athena sandals in maroon--the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I wore those two all summer with few others. I can wear them all day and have no foot pain! Amazing! I added another pair of La Vida (Rococo ) and the new sandal in red. There was a small flaw in the sole of the La Vida, which I had not noticed when purchasing. A quick email to Bob and I had a new pair in days. I wanted The Elite for winter and had a little problem with discomfort under one ankle. I sent them back; there had been a manufacturing flaw and again within the week, I had a replacement pair. I haven't worn the Elite yet; they have a different feel, so I'll have to wait to review them. I just ordered my third pair of La Vida ( in oxford); the sole is thicker and I haven't worn them yet, but the fit seems good. I'll add more after wearing the Elites and the newest La Vidas. Thank you for great shoes and super customer service !Update: Loving the oxford and wisteria La Vidas. So attractive and no foot pain--no breaking in required.There was a manufacturing glitch that left several pairs with cuts in the uppers. The corrections were only an email away! Best products and best customer service ever!!!read more

After a few months wearing nothing but OESH shoes, I can actually walk around barefoot now when that was unthinkable before. I have high arches and thought I shouldn't wear flat shoes. Wrong! I will say the sandals seem to have a denser sole than the covered shoes, which feel a little spongier. I can wear the sandals longer without sore feet.read more
