Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I agree with all the others who said this shoe runs large. I ordered an 8 instead of a 9. That worked. I also agree with someone who said the arch was uncomfortable; hurt my foot. I have low arches but my main problem is heal discomfort. It felt good on my heels but bad on my arches. So am sending them back.

These are super cute and sturdily built but I found that they hurt the top of my foot where the straps go across from the weight of the shoe pulling down. I was going to return them because I felt for that much money they shouldn't hurt me but I have plantar fasciitis and am on my feet all day with work and family. By the time I get home at night sometimes I can barely walk but when I put these on I could stay on my feet a little longer which was a big deal for me. I decided to keep them just for that reason (I have a 3 year old). They have molded to my feet a little and become more comfortable with wear but now less than 2 months later the fur has pilled up on the sole creating an uncomfortable area even though I have been careful to keep them very clean. Disappointing and I expect higher quality materials for such an expensive slipper! I will continue to look for a better solution.

I bought these for my 63 year old mother. She initially loved the look, style and comfort and said it felt like they helped her sore knees. She did the advised break in period, wearing only a certain number of hours per day. However, after about 5 days of wearing, her knee popped out of place. It has never happened before, so we attribute it to the slippers. They are a good quality product, very comfortable for her and she loved the style, but be careful if you are prone to musculo-skeletal problems.

These had an odd fit. They have a high arch for a slipper, and caused my foot to supinate. This was really obvious because it's basically an open slipper and I could see my foot sliding off the outer edge and turning out. No amount of adjusting the straps put my foot in the right place.

I gave this slipper a comfort level of 2 for the following reason (great arch support but): I have somewhat high arches and the straps kept rubbing the tops of my feet to the point of being painful. And I only wore them on the carpet to try them out for less than 20 seconds! I changed the straps tightness to several different positions and still no relief. Unfortunately these are going back. I might try the mule slippers or else just order another pair of flip flops strictly for indoor use!

Definitely disappointed. Saw Orthaheel on HSN and was excited to see that Zappos carried the brand. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet. Unfortunately the footbed is hard and overall, the slipper didn't give my heels the ahhh feeling that I had been expecting. As a result, I do not buy into the Orthaheel concept and will not purchase the brand again. As for Zappos, thanks! Great selection and service.

Excellent arch support. It was well padded and comfortable. However, for me, the sole felt rigid when I walked and it makes it a bit difficult to keep the slippers on.

I would have given these slippers five stars if the heel was not so high. I thought it would be like the sandals, low heel, firm support but these slippers actually cause my back to hurt if I stand too long in them.

I didn't like how I walked in them. I need more support (bad back, etc). I am not sure how they would wear. I wish I could have tried them on first.

These are very nice but the fabric is slippery and I felt my footing was not secure

When I first tried these on, I was hopeful that they would work out. They're cushiony and have arch support, but they are the widest slippers/shoes I have ever tried! I don't have narrow feet. Even adjusting the velcro to the tightest it could go, my feet were slipping out. I think these would fit a man's foot better.

The side straps were very stiff and hurt my feet, otherwise they were a nice slipper. I have returned them and I am going to try a different style Vionic slipper as I need the arch support.
