I've been looking at Spenco for a while now, what is your opinion on them, are they soft are they comfortable Is the sole flexible? I have been wearing Skechers Mostly.

Feet are very choosy. I have a couple pair of slip on Spencos and find them VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND THE HOUSE, but not so good for a long time on my feet.

The insole works well FOR ME, but I need a firmer sole for shopping or relaxation walking.

Hope this helps a little.

I wear the slip on sandals for about 15 years now as house shoes. I tried their other shoes and did not like them. I will stick to their sandals.

Hi, @KACEE1115 . I wear Spenco exclusively, as they work for my feet. They are not soft; rather, structured. The "metatarsal dome" (toe dome) keeps feet in a neutral gravity position so that weight is evenly distributed across the foot.

The best thing I've done for my feet besides wearing Spenco is to use a foot massager daily. I love my Miko.

I also use Spenco flip flops as slippers in the house. They are very comfortable and offer a lot of support- better than flat flip flops or slippers. If you are familiar with Vionic, I find the Vionic footbed to be harder/stiffer than Spenco and it hurts my feet to wear Vionics for long periods of time. Spenco brand seems just right for me.

Let us know what you think if you try them!

I wear Birkenstocks, Alegria, or Naot shoes due to my "teacher feet" (too many years standing all day!) Spenco were too stiff for me, and as you can see by the above brands, I am willing to break in my shoes. I returned the Spenco shoes.

Spenco has a very gentle arch support, much more comfortable for me than Vionic and certain more supportive than Sketchers. They look good out of the box, but the problem i have with them is that they're cheaply constructed out of cheap materials. After a short period of wear, they look like a ratty mess. I really wish they would improve the quality even if they have to increase the price. The also often seem to run wide and I walk out of them.

I have only tried their flipflops but I love them.

I have 2 pairs of their Siesta slip on shoes (1 suede & 1 canvas) but I do prefer their flip flops. Super supportive & comfortable for me. I broke my right foot in 3 places a few yrs ago & its never been right so I have to be very careful what I wear. Spenco works well for me as does Vionic and some Earth.

Spenco is such a great & comfortable shoe. My question is, does it straighten you leg up like Vionics do? I own several Spenco flip flops & my feet never burn after wearing them a long period of time. I am not sure about them straightening out the leg. As they don't promote straightening out your leg the way Vionics do. Does anyone the differences between the two besides the costs. Vionics are so much more.

I bought one pair of Spenco and was 100% disappointed. They were stiff, hard, uncomfortable and very little arch support. I returned them and now just pass them buy.

It gets very expensive returning shoes to the Q @ $5.50 Shipping and Handling and $7.00 to return.

I just got a pair of Skechers that I have to return. Same as above: hard, stiff, very uncomfortable. They talked about the memory foam. Don't believe it. They are washable, but who wants to wear them. There goes $12.50 down the drain to return. I've got to stop this!

I love Spenco. I have a slide on now. I find them to be true to size for me which is a 9 medium. I wear vionics, Spenco, and Skechers exclusively. I am all about comfort. Everyone’s foot is different and have different needs. I highly suggest everyone try out the Spenco brand especially the canvas TSV today 4/22. They can always be returned if they do not work for you. I bought 4 pair of the TSV so clearly I am a fan but I can only speak to my own 60 year old feet. They provide needed support and a cute style.

I bought their flip-flops and they are very uncomfortable. They are so hard and the arch is hard and high and I get a cramp in my foot wearing them. I would not buy any of their shoes again.
