Comfy

Love these boots! The arch support is great and the additional inserts make them a perfect fit.

Carmel Hands-Free Waterproof - Brown

Comfortable

Perfect for trekking in Alaska!

Purchased for a trip to Alaska in the rainy season. They were perfect for keeping my feet dry and pain-free! Perfect fit too, no cramped toes - Wish I had discovered Orthofeet earlier!

Great fit, comfort, waterproof

I have to be careful with the type of boots I get, and these boots were instantly comfortable right after I tried them on. Great ankle support, no places for rubbing, I love the hands free feature! I ordered them in an x-wide and they don’t slide off of my feet. I definitely recommend. There’s also room to use your own inserts. I’m definitely ordering a second pair since I live in a rainy area.
