Customer Reviews VIONIC Arcadia Mary Jane

This shoe has really helped with my plantar fasciitis. It is one of the few shoes I can wear if I am going to be doing a lot of walking. Not fancy, but goes with jeans, yoga pants and work clothes as well. Great arch support. Would highly recommend.

Love! In a floral job, means on feet all day. I am too large, have arthritis, and have had a knee replacement. Needed something lightweight, stable, and with nice arch support. Plenty of toe room, and velcro strap makes fit a breeze. Only critique is soles a wee bit too thin. Can feel a rock for sure. Will be ordering in more colors. Very happy with purchase. And Zappos makes buying shoes so easy. Thank you!

These are so comfortable and it's nice to finally find a brand of shoe with the type of insole that I need. I was worried that these would be too narrow (I usually wear a wide width) but they fit perfect.

These shoes are just what I was looking for! They were delivered in just 2 days! I ordered my usual size and they fit perfectly! Very happy with Zappos and Orthaheel! Can't wait to wear these shoes!

I have problem feet and need shoes with a wide toebox, so I was worried these would not work for me. I was shocked when I put them on at how good they felt! The way they are shaped there is no pressure on my toes whatsoever! They are so light you barely feel like you have anything on. THe arch support is a little high for me so after wearing them awhile I feel like I want to unstrap them, but that's okay because they feel so good when I walk. I normally wear Danksos, or Klog brand, and these were a very welcomed suprise for me. I will be ordering more colors.

I love, love, love these shoes! I have painful plantar fascia and I felt like I was walking on the air the first time I put them on. Cute and comfortable for sure. I may have to order another pair in another color!

Love these! The arch support seemed to be in a different spot on these compared to the sandals I lived in all summer, but after walking around outside a bit I realized they are fine. I wear only Orthaheel now. I wear the slippers inside and sandals outside. Before I started wearing Orthaheel I had horrible foot pain, now I can walk for miles - just have to wear Orthaheel inside and outside! Thanks Orthaheel - I live in Chicago, and since we walk everywhere you have made my life so much better!

I would have loved this shoe except for the one very big problem that the arch in this seems to be placed so far back it's almost into the heel. That totally defeats the purpose of the good arch support. The size I ordered is fine otherwise. It's the right length, right width and no heel rubbing. I did read in the reviews that others had experienced this problem. Maybe it's a quality control problem. Maybe they should manufacture this line in Australia or the good old USA instead of China.

I bought these shoes because they are attractive and have built in arch supports. They came quickly, fit well, look great and take away my back pain better than my expensive orthotics. I just want more as these are almost the only shoe I wear now, would like more colors I will buy more Orthoheel shoes for sure.

This is my third color in this shoe. I also have black and olive. I've recently been experiencing foot pain and ankle/knee pain. Arcadia seems to help with my pronation without extreme arch support. It's become my go-to shoe for work and weekends and feet and legs feel much better. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable shoe, but not super good looking. I wore them the entire day at Epcot.

Just got a pair of Orthoheel mary janes and the first time I put them on my heel pain disappeared...I am thrilled. I plan on purchasing another pair soon. Thanks.

Awesome shoes. Love them, bought a pair for my sister too.

Finally shoes with real arch support! If Orthaheel comes out with more office-suitable styles I will be all over them. Like someone else said, these are cuter in person than they look online. These particular shoes require heel pads and socks (at least footies) to be comfortable, but I am not complaining because I do not need my orthotics in them! I do hope they come out with narrow sizes someday soon.

Very comfortable right out of the box. Good support. I took them for walking on my Alaska vacation. Very fast service from Zappo's.

I really like these shoes, so much I bought them in 3 colors. I had to return one pair of the khaki color because where the sueded fabric was turned under it chipped along the edge almost immediately. Otherwise they are my favorite casual shoes. The removable insoles are so comfortable I sometimes use them in other shoes.

The strap barely connects with the Velcro. It is a bit too short. The arch is at the heel. I will try a larger size.

I have a real problem with shoes because I have full orthodics that I must wear, so with that I don't have a whole lot to choose from. The problem I find with this shoe is after a couple of months the velcro wears out and the shoe loosens while walking, which at times could be dangerous. I have had to replace the velcro, which is a cost in itself, so that adds to this already expensive shoe.

I adore these shoes, and have them in several colors. They are super light, and support my arches well - which is important because I have plantar fasciitis, so my tootsies need some serious love from my shoes. The style is super cute too. One major testament to these shoes is that I act at the Northern California Renaissance Faire. This means I am on my feet all day, running across stages and uneven terrain. Usually by the end of the day I am limping my way to a chair for the evening. With these shoes, I felt awesome at the end of every day. No sore and tender feet bottoms! On possible cons, I do find that any of the lighter colors are hard to clean, so they can get a bit dingy after a while. Also, I wear these most days, and after a year or so I find that the padding for the ball of the feet gets a little thin, so you can get a bit of an impact jolt if you aren't always light on your feet. But up until then, these are like magic shoes. And considering the price (and comparing it to other orthopedic shoes), a year plus of constant wear is a pretty darn good deal. I will definitely be buying more.

I'm a big fan of Orthaheel products, but after the recent redesign of the Arcadia mary janes, I don't think I'll be buying them again. My previous pair had a vegan suede top and patent leather strip that made them adorable, and just a little dressy. They also wore like cast iron, and even over a year of 4-5x a week wearings they are still wearable, if worn at the soles. The replacements, which have a mesh top, are not in much better shape than my old ones, despite being almost a year newer! The velcro is wearing badly (I've had to trim off a huge 'hairball' from both straps, and the velcro keeps unravelling), the mesh tops catch on the velcro of my other shoe when I cross my feet under my chair, and the mesh is tearing up because of it. I never had to worry about that with the other ones! They also squeak, loudly - my other shoes were silent.

I loved my first pair. When the arch was no longer strong enough I put my orthotic in and got more mileage out of them. So I ordered a second pair. They squeaked right out of the box. Contacted Zappos and they are wonderful. Sent a second pair in exchange. That pair did not squeak right out of the box. However, now two weeks later there is a squeak to them. Very annoying. So I will keep them I guess but will not be ordering this style again. It's a shame.

I have two pairs of these shoes, because they are so comfortable and help my feet so much. I have plantar fascia, and these enable me to be on my feet all day and even take walks in the city. The only problem with them is that they do not last real well. The fake suede wears off easily on the toe if you bump into something, or if you kneel down to do anything like cleaning and the toe of the shoe rubs on the floor. The velcro on one of my shoes is also wearing out and lets go every once in a while.

I thought these shoes would be perfect for my plantar fasciitis problems, and maybe they would have been if the sizing were standard. I usually wear a size 7; when it came, I found it to be too big, so sent it back and got a size 6-and-a-half. I kept that, assumed it would be right, and started walking outdoors in them - discovered a little too late that they were also too big. If only I had ordered a size 6 and tried it as well, I might have been satisfied. I recommend anyone who orders these shoes order their usual size and the next two smaller sizes as well, to try on. Wearing shoes that are too large can actually make plantar fasciitis worse, and that's what has happened to me. I was so hoping these shoes would work out for me.

I love these shoes and have ordered them in every available color. They are are comfortable and cute (I get compliments!). This latest pair, however, squeaks when I walk, which is annoying.
