Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I was so disappointed with these slippers. I had high hopes for them. They were extremely uncomfortable. I recently purchased a pair of Orthaheel sandals and love them. I had hoped these would be just as comfortable.

I am returning these. They didn’t fit well and they were far too heavy for a slipper.

I'm very disappointed with these slipper. This is the second time buying these. They lose they shape after not even a month

no, these are not up to quality I've come to expect from vionic. worn little and already wearing out.

the arch was very uncomfortable for me

THis slipper had a rough spot of stitching or glue at the top of my foot, rubbing me when I walked. Quite hurt actually. BTW…I ordered several sandals made by Vionic and all were defective in some way with the shoes not matching each other in size. I expect better quality from this brand.

It almost seems like the arch support is in the wrong place. They really hurt my feet. So much so, that I had to return them.

I cannot wear this slipper when walking around my home. I get a shock every time I touch anything metal, light switches, my computer even the faucet over my sink. My dog is afraid to let me pet him as we have had terrible shocks. I would have sent them back immediately but my husband tore up the box. I would not recommend buying these unless you like to be jolted whenever you touch something.

I have a few pairs of Vionic sandals, and love them for the arch support. Best sandals for my feet by far. I was excited to get the slippers. Unfortunately, these fit very, very narrow. With Vionic sandals, the entire footbed is an area for your foot. With these sandals, the strap attaches not at the edge of the footbed, but it is set inward more than 1/4 inch on both sides. This shrinks the area for your foot by at least 1/2 an inch. This caused the base of the strap to sit underneath my foot, creating an uncomfortable lump. Way too narrow. If they design it this way, the base of the whole slipper needs to be wider. I'm very disappointed and had to return these. Also, they STINK so badly. I opened the box, and it smelled really strong like super glue or rubber cement. Then after putting the slippers back in the box, the smell is still lingering in the room a day later. I have never had a shoe smell so bad like harmful chemicals before. It makes me hesitant to order any more products from Vionic after this.

No longer a good option for wider feet. I have worn this slipper for years but this time it is different. I compared this slipper to my existing pair of the same exact style, size and width that I bought only 7 months ago. The base of the straps is definitely sewn more inward it and hinders the arch support. This new placement of the straps also narrows the foot bed of the slipper. My feet actually hurt in them at the base of the straps. It's a shame too because I have loved this particular slipper for years. And again, it is strictly "the base" of the straps. I'm not talking about the top of the straps where the velcro can be adjusted. If you have narrow feet, you will be ok and you won't notice this change.

I am very disappointed in this pair of slippers. I got them at the end of April 2020 and they are falling apart already. I do not wear them all day,only for a few hours in the am and pm. Never had this problem with this brand before and have been wearing them for years!

I was very disappointed in these slippers. Considering the price, they were not as expected. Looked like a Men’s slipper. They were too big. I normally wear a size 9 and ordered 9 but probably could have worn 8. They were stiff and arch did not hit the right spot on my foot. The only plus was the Velcro strap to adjust for a wider foot.

These hurt my feet. They felt too narrow and where the rear strap connected to the sole caused a painful lump on both sides of the slipper directly under my arch area. I had to return them. I was so disappointed, because I love Vionic and really need new slippers.

This is my 3rd pair of vionic slippers and I have to say I’m extremely disappointed. I don’t know what they have done or if they have changed their manufacturer but they haven’t lasted as long, they don’t have the same support and the Velcro strap has cut into the top of my foot causing a scab. Wish I could return them but since I have been wearing them I can’t. I don’t recommend these which makes me sad as I’ve always loved them and since I need support to wear at home I’m not sure what to do.

The size and fit were okay, but both pairs of Vionic that I ordered had such high arches and low heel beds that they were too painful to wear, even for a short time. Do not buy Vionic unless you have a high arch or extremely flexible feet that are forgiving.

Very disappointed in these slippers. I have only had these for one week! While I was initially impressed by the support, the fabric underneath my feet has already pilled and is very abrasive against the soles of my feet now. I’m not sure what I am going to do at this point. Not sure if I am able to return them or not.

I wasn’t a fan of these. I was looking for something to wear while cooking and cleaning while on hard floors in my home. I found these to be too unattractive even for only indoor use, and the way the straps come up on your foot, you can really feel all the seams and stitching. I ended up returning.

Very uncomfortable shoe, let alone slipper, that I have tried on. Not soft, very hard. I wear Vionic Wave sandals and love them. These don't compare. Feet slides from side to side. No way to tighten it so my foot wasn't constantly moving.

DO NOT ORDER FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ANY PROBLEMS WALKING. I have been looking for a good slipper and wanted these to work. I got them, put them on and had to tighten the Velcro strap to almost uncomfortable to feel stable in them. The footbed is slippery. Also, and much more important to me is that the sole is very slippery. I tried to roughen it up by walking on concrete, filing it, and even bought some gripper pads. The soles are covered with a cloth-like material so they would not roughen nor keep the pads on. As I try to wear them, I am also realizing they do not bend with my foot while walking. I am a bit unsteady with cervical spine problems so I need all the “feel” I can get. These are going off the thrift shop and I just ordered a pair of sandal-like Crocks that I know will work. Should have done that in the first place.

Returning. These are very nice looking slippers. However I don't care for the sole which is very hard. It feels like I am walking on a very hard surface. There is no cushion in the sole itself. The footbed of the slipper is soft and furry. I also don't like the heel cup being lower than the rest of the footbed like Birkenstocks. It jars my knees.

I absolutely hate these slippers. They can't be washed and once they get dirty you do not even want to put them on your feet.

These slippers use to have a very cushy foot bed but now the foot bed is hard as rocks. I am returning them--very uncomfortable. Please remake all the vionic shoes with a cushy foot bed like they use to have.

I have had numerous pairs of the Vionic line of slippers. They offer great support and are the best I've found to offer relief from the pain of plantar fasciitis. I've recommended them to my patients, friends and family. HOWEVER, regardless of which style of Vionic slipper, all of us have found they fall apart within weeks or at the most several months. Vionic is fully aware of this fact but continue to sell through suppliers to unsuspecting customers. Unlike most suppliers, Zappos is great about exchanging them within a reasonable amount of time. However, most customers I've spoken to just got fed up and threw them out. They are totally overpriced for quality that is substandard. We all will miss the support they have offered but will no longer buy any Vionic product.

Please read if you are purchasing BLACK. Bought these shoes in black in July 2016. 2 months of wearing in the house the fabric has holes worn through at the foot. Supposed to be a terry cloth fabric but the weave is so thin and a loose weave, that if you wore it on your body it would wear quickly much less in a shoe sole fabric. The fabric is also shredding along the inside edge. Not going to last for the price of this slipper. I purchased the tiger print from another source and the quality of the fabric was very different. If you buy these shoes I would not buy the black as they won't last past a cheap ten dollar pair. The design is really good. Wasted my money, too bad.
