Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide

Love these sandals. I have several pairs of Orthaheels and will continue buying them. They have helped my feet over the years,and my experience with Zappos couldn't have been better. I'm an Orthaheels and Zappos customer for life!

These sandals/flip flops are the best! I have plantar fasciitis and plantar fibromatosis and Orthaheels are the only sandals to provide relief from my heel pain! If you are thinking about these...go for it. I wear 10 wide shoes and these 10 medium Tides fit perfectly. My toes do not hang off the edges and the thong is comfortable. The lavender and purple design is pretty!

Love these shoes! They have good arch support and are very comfortable. Maybe a little on the wide side but over all... a great shoe!

I hesitated spending this much for a pair of flip-flops. I am so glad that I decided to give it a try! Yes, they do take a 'little getting used to' because of the support. At first I felt like there was a big wad of something under my foot. After wearing them for a few days that feeling disappeared. I ordered the Coral color. In the picture they appear a very dark color. They are much prettier in person. My feet love them and so do I. Will be purchasing another pair in a different color!

I own these shoes in 2 colors and love them. Orthaheel has been a lifesaver. I have a terrible time with shoes due to an injury and own several different types of Orthaheels. These are cute with shorts, pants and even a sundress.

Like many others, I ordered these to see if they would help with my heel pain. I followed the advice and wore them for short amounts of time at first - and now am wearing them non-stop. No other shoe has given me so much support. I wear a 10.5 or 11 but a 10 in this shoe works great for me. Thanks so much!

I do not have any of the conditions that these are meant to heal, but I love them! They are very comfortable, rugged, pretty and they stay on as I walk through the woods, our stream, practically anywhere and they are pretty enough to wear almost anywhere. Get yourself a pair (or two)!

Classic Zappos service. Quick delivery, No problems. Love orthaheel's. Best that I have found in flipflops for arch support. Wore all day traveling thru airport with no problems, and I have history of plantar fascitis. I put them on immediately when I get out of bed, and no problem since I started doing this. I have several styles.

Excellent fit and comfort. I wish they were a little dressier so I could wear them more places. I have plantar fascia that flares up from time to time.

I highly recommend taking time to get use to these before giving up and returning them. It took me about 3 weeks of wearing them an hour or so each day to get use to. They are very comfortable now. I wear a 6 1/2 wide, but a size 6 is perfect.

I read many reviews on the orthoheel sandals and decided for my first pay to try the original Tide. I knew already knew from the reviews that I would have to break them in because there could be an adjustment period. I wore them as soon as they came on and off for the entire day. I did need the adjustment period for only 2 days. After that I started wearing them all the time. I actually felt the difference in my hip rather soon and they are now so comfortable. They are not as stylish as some of the other ones I saw on line, but the support is fantastic. I need the arch support because my feet are severely flat, which contributes to my hip pain. I will definitely try other sandals and hope to see more stylish closed shoes.

These flip flops are fantastic; they offer substantial support yet do not look frumpy or like orthopedic shoes. I wear a women's 12 but was unsure of the sizing so I also ordered the men's 11. Both were the same size so I kept the women' 12 and am more than satisfied. I needed a solid, casual sandal that also supported a bad back, and I found exactly that with this shoe. Note: it definitely felt stiff at first, but that's what I needed.

These shoes are wonderful. I have a very high arch and most shoes do not have enough support for me. These do. Ordering was easy and shipment was fast!

This shoe was originally recommended to me by my podiatrist. I also had surgery only a few months ago and prior back surgery. Zappos provided a huge selection of styles (I'm a shoe freak!) and this allows me to wear flip flops and walk for miles again. The support I'd been lacking both in the impact on my back as well as the arch had made my back problems significantly less as well. Extremely high quality and sturdy yet stylish. No one knows I'm wearing an orthopedic shoe!

I found that the sandal was too long for my foot to rest in the proper heel position when toes were in place. The sandal itself was very attractive - just wish it fit better.

Fits good. Arch & heel feel good. The base of the slipper is very hard and stiff but I think it's suppose to be that way for support As the manufacturer recommends, wear for only a short time to acclimate your feet.

These are some of the most comfortable casuals sandals I have ever worn. I have them in several colors. I also have several of styles of Orthaheel sandals and love them all. This is a great brand, especially if you have a hard to fit foot like I do and want comfort with style.

The Orthaheel flip flop was recommended by a friend. It took me 2 full days to get adjusted to the strap, but after that I loved them. I took my grandchild to an amusement park, and I walked around in them for 7 hours in the heat. I had no heel pain at all. I would never be able to do that in regular flip flops because of my plantar fasciitis. They are well worth the price!

I have been battling plantar fasciitis for over a year now...these sandals are perfect for my achy arches! I've had these for a couple of weeks now, and I love them. The support of the footbed is amazing. For some people, it may be too much, but the uber-support feels so good to my problem feet. The upper straps take some breaking in. They cut deep into the top of my foot on the first day, and I'm still healing. I have slapped on a couple of anti-blister band-aids on the 2 affected areas. One foot is completely better now, but the other one still needs a bit of recovery time. The band-aids work great, though; I've worn the sandals every day for the past week, and with the band-aid on, I don't feel any pain. I wear a size 7.5; I bought size 7 based on other recommendations, but wasn't sure about the fit when they arrived; so I bought a size 8 and compared the two. The size 8 was too "sloppy," so I have stayed with the size 7. It was the better of the two choices; just feels slightly narrower than expected (one of my piggy toes always feels like it wants to escape over the side). I generally walk about 5 miles per day (I have to walk at least 2 miles to get to my place of work), and these sandals have been providing enough comfort and support to get me through the entire day. Highly recommended!

The high arch took a little getting used to, but I really like them. They are comfortable and provide good support.

This is the only sandal I can wear because I limited range of motion in my big toes. Unlike most flip flops, my toes don't try to grip the sole as I walk. I have a high arch, but I also roll my feet to the outside. This fixes both problems. That are more comfortable than most shoes and I've been able to walk 6 hours in them without pain!

I'm new to Orthaheel since having plantar fasciitis for the past few months. I own the slippers (love them) and the walkers, so I just had to get these. I love these Tide flip flops! They are perfect for heel pain relief and are lighter and more portable for traveling than the slippers, since I can't go barefoot anymore at all. The arch support is superior and the minute you slip into these flip flops, the heel pain goes away! Finally flip flops that support my high arches!

These are cute and dressy with the shiny black strip on the straps. However they are a little heavier than other Orthaheel flip flops. The arch seems a little higher. I do not have a high arch, so I can only wear them for short periods.

I have planter fasciitis and found these to be good for it. My foot pain is a lot less wearing these. When you first put them on it feels a bit odd because you feel the high arch but your foot quickly adapts to it. Would buy again.

My wife bought Orthaheel Tide about 3 weeks ago to help with treatment of plantar fasciitis. Arch support is great; however, the bed of the Tide is hard, which is not comfortable for her aching heel (the reason for 4-star rating for comfort). She was hoping the Tide would have a little more "give" so that it would cushion her heel while it heals. That being said, on her non-PF foot, Tide is comfortable. (A few days ago, she began wearing Arch+Aid compression wrap which has helped to relieve some of the heel pain, which in turn has made the Tide more comfortable to wear.)
