Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide

These felt a little stiff at first and the shaping under my arch felt strange. BUT I quickly got used to them and LOVE them, will buy at least one more pair! Run small! I usually wear a 9 in a sandal, flip flop, Teva etc. 9 was huge and loose on me. 8 feels good.

Such a great, supportive, open air shoe! I have lots of heel, arch and calf pain and can't wear anything without arch support - these offer support and are nice enough to wear with a casual dress. Worth every penny!

The best shoe I have found for plantar fasciitis and I'm so glad I found Orthaheel. Thank you for carrying this Zappos! These shoes are actually decent looking too.

This is my 2nd pair of Orthaheel Tide. My 1st pair is the brown one & they were the only flip flop that didn't hurt my feet. I have had trouble in the past with heel spurs & plantar fasciitis & these are the only sandals that didn't hurt my feet. Very good support & they look like a normal flip flop except much sturdier. I am an 8.5 shoe size & I get an 8 it fits perfect. I buy from Zappos since same price on other sites but I know if there's anything wrong with the shoe Zappos takes care of it for free & quickly.

Love the shoes, but I think they sent the wrong ones. Mine do not have the stripe. I sort of wanted the stripe as I thought it would be my dressy pair of flips. But I like them anyway.

I have to wear orthotics all of the time, and these are the only flip flops that allow me to spend the day at the water park with my 7 year old. While I still ache a little afterward, it is nothing like the time I tried to wear regular water sandals. They are only as stylish as orthotic sandals can be, but they definitely allow for flip flop wear when I am usually forced into sneakers or other sensible, orthotic-fitting shoes.

These shoes are unbelievable! I have arthritic knees, and these shoes significantly diminish the pain! Shortly after I bought these, I got a pair in a different color. I am hoping the closed shoes Orthaheel has are just as impressive!

What an EXCELLENT flip flop! The arch support takes time to get used to (about 10 minutes) if this your first pair of Orthaheels. They run just a little short so you do need to order 1/2 size up. Not my first, and certainly won't be my last, Orthaheels! However, I do wish that Dr. Weil would consider a suede/leather foot-bed.

The shoes are super-comfortable - the heel great but the sole is relatively smooth so the first time I wore them I slipped & broke my wrist. Not blaming the shoe but my Merrells have better traction.

Love these! I couldn't wear them at first because my arch was so tight and needed stretching that it was painful to walk in them. However, after a day of wearing my Spenco Yumi flip flops my arches were ready for the Orthaheels. I now consider these my most comfortable flip flops and wish I had the $ to buy in every style and color! I am now an Orthaheel believer!

After a few days of wearing the Orthaheel flip flop in the house to get used to them, I now love them. It makes walking nice with an arch support. Love these shoes, will buy more.

Diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. Orthaheel brand shoes recommended. What a difference the correct supportive shoe makes! Minimized the pain immediately as well as following the stretching and ice regimen. I bought a brown pair as well. This is all I have been wearing all summer. Zappos sent my order via a tracking method, and arrived in great condition. Would recommend Zappos as well as the Orthaheel sandal!

I just love the comfort and high arch support the Tide sandals give me. I now have three pairs and I also have plantar fasciitis. They make walking much less painful and can still wear sandals.

Shoes arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I wear Dansko clogs for work, but love flip flops!! These give great support, and look great too!!

These shoes are absolutely wonderful! They totally fixed all my heel pain I was having! I wear them everywhere, even to work! I don't wear any shoes other than orthaheels now. I have wide feet and these fit my width excellent as well. They might be a little too wide on someone with more narrow feet.

Perfect flip flops when you need the arch support for heel pain. I usually order a size down as recommended as I am a 5.5 shoe size. But I ordered a size 6 and they fit perfectly. I have Orthaheel slippers as well, ordered a size 5 in those. Not wanting to wear anything other than Orthaheel!! Zappos is fabulous on pricing and super easy returns. Fast shipping!!

I love these shoe. They are as comfortable brand new as an old pair would be! These are my 2nd pair.

I love them. I love Orthaheel. I have very high arches and very wide feet (due to very large bunions), these fit well and alleviate any knee pain from pronation.

I was experiencing heel pain after purchasing a different pair of flip-flops. Seeing Orthaheels were recommended by the APMA, I thought I would give them a try. I am so glad that I did! Not only are they the most comfortable pair of flip-flops ever, but my heels are no longer in pain!

Very good support. Have a stress fracture in my foot and appreciate the comfortable molded foot bed. Just wish they were a bit more dressy. The cute Orthaheels stop at size 11 and I take a 12.

I have flat feet & have always had troubles with my feet tiring & hurting a lot when I am on them for long periods...i.e. walking around an amusement park/shopping mall all day; on vacation; standing in my kitchen cooking all day; walking for exercise; etc. Not any more! I love these sandals! I adjusted to them quickly & have never looked back! I bought my first pair this spring, followed quickly by the same pair in another color, and now I have even tried a different Orthaheel sandal as well...that's 3 pairs for me in the last 3 months. Plus, I have bought a pair of these Tide sandals for all three of my daughters (ages: middle school, high school & college) for this summer, and 2 of them absolutely love these sandals too. (The 3rd I think needs to take the time to 'break hers in'; wearing them a little at first & building up -- I myself didn't need much 'break in' time. I have heard others do.) I would absolutely recommend the Tide sandals or any other Orthaheel sandals to anyone. I'm getting ready to try the Orthaheel athletic shoes for my 2 daughters next! A little expensive, but totally worth it to me!

I never buy shoes without trying them on, but the glowing reviews persuaded me otherwise. Since purchasing these sandals I have almost worn them exclusively, minus running shoes. My foot pain has minimized, and the shoes wear well.

These are great! Good support, nice looking, thought I could never wear flip flops again because of my plantar fasciitis, but these work!

Absolutely love these shoes. They're extremely comfortable and they provide a lot of support for my flat feet. I would definitely recommend this.
