Unisex Open-Toe House Shoes, Cheetah Brown

A pair of unisex open-toe house shoes in Cheetah Brown with a contoured footbed: the arch sits higher than the ball of the foot and the heel drops into a cup, so the load spreads along the arch instead of landing under the heel. The toe is open, which suits a foot that swells by evening.

The upper is a plush faux-fur upper, and the outsole is a plain rubber tread. The maker calls this pair orthopedic, for plantar fasciitis, machine washable and lightweight, and those are the maker's words.

Wearing them

On a kitchen floor and a hallway, an hour at a time. The bed feels firm for the first days, that is the shape holding, not a fault, and it settles into a foot-shaped hollow after a week or two.
