I have purchased several pairs of these slippers and loved them. The last pair I bought is of lower quality. The black material sheds balls of black all over my house. The inside of the shoe is lumpy and scratchy. It is obvious these are not manufactured by the original place. I probably will not purchase these again unless quality improves. I will miss them.

UPDATE: I’m disappointed with these slippers. Did I get a defective pair? Or has the quality gone downhill since my first pair in 2016?
My first pair lasted over two years before the Velcro wore out and I could no longer tighten them. My current pair started falling apart after only 7 months. The heel area is cracking in the same section on the side of both slippers just under my outer ankle. This is causing a loss of support under the arch/heel as the sole material continues to break down. The slippers are only worn inside and have been properly cared for just like my first pair that lasted over two years.

This is my 4th pair of Vionic slippers to purchase. The arch seems non-existent. I contacted Vionic to check to see if they had re-designed the slipper, but they said they had not. They recommended that I return this pair & try to re-order in hopes this pair might be defective. Sure hope so. I have been hugely dependent on these slippers. They literally save my feet, hips and back when wearing around our hard flooring home.

This slipper ran large and I was not able to adjust the straps enough to keep it on my foot. Staps are forward on foot and so did not provide enough coverage to even keep them on. Felt like I was playing dress up with mommy's shoes and had to drag my feet to keep them on.

As much as I love the terrycloth closed-toe Gemmas I'm not a fan of this year's Relax. Both the terry and the plush fur Relax feel slippery and unstable. My foot struggles to keep them on and that cannot work. I had read advice to size down to nearest whole size if a half-size but found that to be untrue. I am an 8 1/2 and the eight was too short. Sent back but always open to new styles of Vionic.

My podiatrist recommends Vionics. We great expectation I ordered these. Based on size guide I ordered the 8. I have been wearing 8.5. The guide said "M/W". They just didn't fit my feet. The arch support seemed to be in the wrong place maybe a little too narrow and they were extremely warm. The 9 would have been too long and width wasn't available in this shoe. I have yet to find Vionics for me that fit and feel good.

The material is soft and comfortable but the edge of the top hits my baby toe which causes friction and pain. Unfortunately, these did not work out for me. They are a bit clunky for a slipper but the arch support was good.

Still searching for slippers with decent arch support and comfort.

I bought these slippers to help with my Plantar fasciitis, since the Vionic brand is known for good arch support, unlike most slippers. Unfortunately, these felt as though I was going to fall right out of them. I don’t even think a smaller size would have helped, so had to return them.

These slippers would be very comfortable except the placement of the arch doesn't match my foot so they are very uncomfortable. I tried to see if I could get used to them but they just hurt me the more I tried.

At first, it seemed like these would work, but they slide off my feet, even with adjusting the strap. Will have to return.

Let me start by saying I have several pairs of Vionic shoes, boots and slippers. Love them all. This pair was a huge miss. They felt floppy on top - like there wasn't enough holding your foot. So as you walked they felt very loose in the front and the strap area. Perhaps it is the weight of the slipper (they are not actually heavy but compared to a flip flop). I tightened the strap and it was better but still felt floppy and insecure as I walked around. Got my daughter a pair & she said the same to me before I even told her what I thought.

This would have been perfect, but they are too hot. I do think they run alittle small. Otherwise, a cute sandal & the arch support is helpful!

I wear the sandals all year long so I thought I would try the slipper and am not impressed this is the third pair of different style shoes I have bought from here and to tell the truth I only liked one style I have 3 pairs of that one style 2 of which I bought locally the slipper and the thong just don't give me the support I love from the sandals

I really wanted to like these. Looking to replace my Acorn Spa Slippers that they no longer make but these were not anything like my worn out but oh so comfy Acorn slippers. They are so hard and uncomfortable that they had to go back. I love the open toe (my feet get hot) of these but they are hard as a rock and there was nothing "relaxing" about them.

I read another review detailing the same thing - these slippers have potential to be so comfortable but the hard velcro on the bottom part twists around as I wear them and scratches the top of my foot! It hurts! The arch support is good in these so I tried to make it work by re-adjusting the straps several times but in the end I had to return them! So sad.

These have changed. I've been wearing Vionic slippers for many years (since they were called Orthoheel), after a bad bout of plantar fasciitis. I generally wear them for a couple of years until they start to wear out. Just bought these, which would be about the fourth pair I've had, and these are narrower than they used to be so that they pinch my foot in weird places, and they have much less arch support. They used to have really aggressive arch support, which is hard to find in a slipper. Really disappointed.

Lesson learned I need the full shoe slipper to keep my feet from sliding out rolling my ankle or tripping over area rug. I thought these wore out way too early. In less than a year i have holes in the fabric covering the foot bed. I do like the hard soles and those have held up just not the rest of the slipper.The velcro used to adjust the straps across foot around up scratching the top of my foot and causing discomfort and i was never able to resolve that by readjusting the strap. I wear these indoors only and rotate with another pair of indoor only shoes. I plan to try a different style of vionic slipper in hopes they will hold up for a year. These aren't the most attractive slippers anyway.

The arch on this shoe hurt my feet, it was too hard to wear this slipper for very long. The slipper was soft and fit true to size otherwise but had to return them because they were not comfortable on my arch.

I have bought these several times but will warn you that the terrycloth wears out quickly at the toe bed. Would like to see a better wearing inner sole.

My foot is a 10 EE, so pretty big and wide. With these, I couldn't tighten the strap tight enough to keep my feet from sliding forward and off the front of the footbed of this slipper. They're also heavy and "clunky." Thank goodness for free returns, cause back they went. Disappointing fit from Vionic, my usual go to brand.

I love the comfort of these so much that I bought 2 pairs in quick succession about 9 months ago -- one in gray and one leopard print. The Velcro "strap" adjusts easily for bare feet, thin socks, or fuzzy winter socks. They feel divine and very supportive.
I was horrified a few weeks ago when I discovered that the fabric and underlayment in the footbed in both pairs is wearing away and disintegrating under the big toes and balls of my feet. I cannot face replacing a pair (much less 2) of $60 slippers in less than a year, no matter how comfy they are. I wear them only indoors and rotate them with a pair of Birkenstocks. What a disappointment!

First let me say I Vionic shoes and wouldn't be able to walk w/o them I'm sure. However this slipper just isn't for a person w plantar fasciitis issues b/c of the strap placement. The strap is sewn onto the upper part of the sole which in my experience hurt the PF. I thought after wearing them a few days it would workout but it didn't only got worse. Made my foot hurt a lot! The strap or whatever you want to call it needs to be placed under like on the flip flop slippers. Very painful indeed
