fit and solving problems Date: November 12, 2009
"I was reccomended these sandals by my sister and it was the best purchase I could have made. I suffer with a bunion and have problems with the other foot in the heel. I get such wonderful relief from pain it is amazing. People have stopped me to ask where I have purchased them. Thank you for a wonderful product. It would be a great idea to produce them in white because I did where them all summer and now wearing them in the cold weather. Thank you again"

Nice Sandals Date: November 11, 2009
"After wearing these sandals consistently I can spread my toes much better. They hurt a little at first but that didn't last very long. The only issue I have is that the foot bed is stiff so I don't really roll through the foot from heel to toe, it's more like a splat. Maybe I'm just used to my old sandals having a lot of give. They are great for after a pedicure!"

Foot Saver! Date: November 10, 2009
"This is my second pair! I wore the others for Over 2 years! This new pair goes under the Christmas tree for me! After wearing my sandals, my hammer toes flatten somewhat and toes spread, making for more comfortable feet as a result. These are definitely worth a try. Also nice for saving pedicures!"

Yoga Slippahs Date: November 8, 2009
"I have a medical condition where symptoms involving the feet are present, they seem to help with that. I purchased them as gifts also. A little too costly for what they are & for me, a must to wear with the yoga socks."

Toes still adjusting Date: November 7, 2009
"First tried them and one little toe did not want to separate. Kept it up and now they slip on more easily. Once on I can wear them for a few hours. I find the bottoms a little hard but I have very sensitive feet and only wear MBT. The soles are flat and I feel the design would be much improved with some arch support. I do believe they are helping my toes to spread more easily so I would recommend them."

Yoga Sandals are FANTASTIC Date: October 26, 2009
"I purchased a pair of yoga sandals for myself an my daughter back in late July early August. I am totaly amazed at the difference in my feet. I have not been able to spread my toes for balance in yoga class and after noticing one of teachers had a pair and how great she said they were, I decided to go for it and I am in total amazement as to how my toes have spread out and are no longer all crunched together. By balance has improved in yoga and my back even feels better. I truly wish I lived in an area where I could wear them all year round. They have to be the best purchase I have made in a very long time. I must say I keep looking down at my toes in class in utter amazement."

Yoga sandals Date: October 25, 2009
"I am on my second pair of these thongs (am I dating myself?) in two and a half years and I love love love them. I don't love the breaking in period, but it has to happen...sore toes for a little while, but these are the best investment and people always ask where I get them. Comfortable like walking in shoes and so stable that you can't fall out of them like regular thongs. I will only buy these!"

Awesome!! Date: October 25, 2009
"These sandals are awesome! They might hurt your feet a little at first. I only wore them for 15-20 min at a time until I got used to them. They have so helped my toes look much straighter. I wear them everywhere I can. I have 2 pair. More color choices would be awesome!"

Works for me! Date: October 24, 2009
"Took about a week to get used to all the thongs between my toes but now it's easy to slip them on and off and they don't bother me. I can already feel a difference; the bunion on my right foot doesn't get red and ache like it does with some of my other shoes. I like the apprearance of these sandals and I get lots of compliments and people asking where I got them. With winter coming I won't be wearing them out of the house but expect to keep them on at home. I'm really impressed with their comfort and effectiveness."

Strange love! Date: October 24, 2009
"I was seriously skeptical of the intent and some of the reviews. I have bought other products based on reviews that turned out to be a disaster, but, after wearing these unique flops, I have to admitt it ... they really work. I have incredibly high arches which is the only downfall to wearing these or any flops, but the relief to the toes and the effect of straightening even that forever curled pinky is worth it. which Ironically left my tennies a bit tight. HMMM!!! My only hope is that Gaiam will one day sell a formed flop with an arch in this toe sandal. PLEEEEEAAAAAASE!!!"

Great purchase! Date: October 24, 2009
"I love these sandals! as other reviewers have said they take a little getting used to. the first couple of times i wore them they were slightly uncomfortable but it didn't take long and now they are one of my favorite pair of sandals. people always comment on them when i wear them saying how unusual but cool they are. i wear a size 10 (womens) and was almost going to get the large but i was happy that i got the xl. if your feet are bigger than size 11 they probably won't fit."

Cool look - very comfortable! Date: October 23, 2009
"These sandals are true to size and totally comfortable once I got used to the 'between the toe' feeling. When I wear them I always receive compliments. Definitely need another pair to wear around the house."

Great Buy! Date: October 23, 2009
"These yoga sandals are perfect at the end of a long day! The only drawback I have found is that they should not be worn for long periods of time in hot weather as the 'toe separators' are plastic tubes and they do create blisters when your feet are hot. I have noticed that my feet are regaining their pre pointy shoe shape again and I am thrilled!!"

Yoga Sandals, Ahhhhh Date: October 22, 2009
"My yoga teacher recommended these to help with my bunions, and they really do help. Although a bit uncomfortable at first, your feet quickly grow to love them. I love wearing them around the house, and they help you learn to separate your toes. I've retired them for the winter, as it's too cold in my house for bare feet, but can't wait to break them out next spring."
