Simply perfect
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016
This is a gorgeous and very effective redesign of a sandal I purchased elsewhere last year and had to return because it didn't fit snugly around the ankle, which is where I need the most support. This new design is perfect in every way: the back strap is thinner and thus more elegant, and the side strap around the ankle is likewise also thinner and has a gold-button clasp, rather than the ugly buckle clasp of the earlier model. Also, the gold-cork material is bright and cheerful, perfect for the cruise I'll be taking them on shortly. Thank you, Vionic, for creating shoes so stylish no one would ever guess they are orthotic!

I love Vionic/Orthaheel shoes and these are very nice but I can not believe these are described as WHITE! They are not. I took a picture where you can clearly see the tissue paper inside the shoe which IS white. These shoes are almost a pale yellow. Very disappointed; so misleading!

I've ordered Vionic shoes and love them! I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis so it is nice to have stylish shoes to wear that won't cause me problems! I will say to verify your shoe measurements with the chart by literally measuring your feet. I normally wear 7 1/2 to an 8 depending on the shoe but every Vionic pair that I have ordered I wear a 7 and they fit perfectly. So if you end up in the 1/2 size range I would recommend going down a size based on what I have tried and my measurement ends up a 7 1/2. I will definitely be ordering more of these sandals.

These are great looking shoes! I bought them for my girlfriend and she says they're the most comfortable shoes she's ever had. We even went to a store to buy her previous vionics and she says these fit and feel even better. Plus, they look great on her! Highly recommended

I should have returned these, but now it's been too long. They're okay but not great. I had another pair of Vionic sandals that are similar but discontinued. I thought this pair would be good because they straps are a little sleeker, so they even seemed more stylish than my old ones. The main problem is that the velcro really sucks. First, it is kind of small? Definitely a small piece of velcro compared to my other Vionics. It doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room for sizing. Second, the velcro just started to COME OFF the shoe after a few weeks of wearing them 3-4 days/week. I can probably just glue it back down, but it's just pretty silly.
Sometimes these give me a little pain in my arch, too, but it could just be my foot being weird.

I have platers ficitis. Vionic has helped my feet tremendously. I first purchased a pair of their fuzzy high arch slippers. I wear them ALL the time around the house. I never go barefoot anymore. The high arch helped so much with the pain i was having. So summer came and i decided to purchase these sandles. The style is nice and i do get a lot of compliments when i am out and about on the design. The fit is perfect. The arch is not as high as my slippers. They are still very comfortable. When i am out and about walking around i have no pain. Will be purchasing a ton more of Vionic brand for winter and possibly sneakers as these eliminate my pain. Vionics are a life saver. THANK YOU!!

I was so disappointed with these sandals. I have flat feet and have been on the search for comfortable sandals. These were so uncomfortable the second I put them on. I walked around for a bit to see if I got used to them but it got worse. The support at the arch felt so hard and hurt my arch area. The entire footbed was hard in my experience. My feet were sore after walking around in them. It feels like walking on a flat surface with a bump or bal in the arch area.. Thankful for very fast refund from amazon though.

The shoe form was AMAZING! It helped my plantars fasciitis so much. The one issue is the fabris of the foot bed. I don’t have stinky feet and these reeeeeked after 5 days. It is something about the microsuede. So, wear socks with them or you’ll want some Silver spray to de-stink them

I have problem feet and my podiatrist prescribed me orthotics to wear every day. I thought I was never going to be able to wear sandals again until I found these. These have three places where the straps can be adjusted with velcro for a perfect fit. The sole is close enough to my orthotics that I'm not in any discomfort. And they're cute!

I wanted to give these shoes 5 stars but and only giving them 2 stars. Purchased shoes and they were delivered June 20, 2016. As with the other pairs of Vionic I own, fit & comfort are awesome but the quality of this pair has left me a bit bummed out. I wore these maybe 8-10 times over the 2 months I have had them and noticed today the heal strap is tearing in a place that won't allow for repair. Disappointed in this pair and now I'm out good money. Just my honest opinion but the company should stand by their product for more than 30days.

Overall support great, laquered version a bit stiff and I got blisters not the old fashioned laquered leather, but I hope it will soften up soon. I also ordered a size bigger than usual and it fits perfectly.

I love the shoes, except I need a wide and they do not come in a wide. The shoes have superior arch support which I need.
