Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I need to wear shoes with an arch support and recessed heel bed, and Vionics seem to work best for me, in general. I was looking for a shoe I could slip on with socks in the winter. I already own several pair of Vionic sandals. I would have preferred a pair of slippers that were more moccasin-like, but the choice really was between these and the ones with a closed toe and open back. I chose these because I thought the others might slide off the foot more easily. These are comfortable and supportive as Vionics usually are; however, due to the thick sole, they sometimes feel a bit "clunky." I'll also keep looking for a moccasin style, but these fit the bill for now.

I like these slippers the more I wear them. At first I slipped around on the "fur" but after a day or so they are less slippery and just plain comfy. One note, they are on the heavy side.

I love these slippers because they help with my plantar fasciitis. Anytime my foot starts to hurt I put these on and the pain starts to go away. The size and width are true to size. I wear a 9 shoe and a 9 with these. The only negative feedback I have is, the material wears out quickly. I've been wearing the pink pair for about 2 weeks and it's starting to thin out.

I have been wearing Vionic Relax slippers for many years because they are extremely comfortable and have great arch support and mostly because of the velcro that can accommodate some narrow feet. Unfortunately for us with narrow feet, Vionic has changed the slippers to fit "medium/wide" according to their website. I still have one pair of the pre-change slippers and can easily see that the velcro on the newer ones is now positioned farther from the footbed than it used to be. I have two of the newer ones because I've always kept at least one pair in reserve. The only way these will stay on my feet is if I sew on another patch of velcro. It's so annoying to find a quality "shoe" that fits only to have it ruined by the manufacturer. Ugh.

Per reviews, I ordered a full-size smaller - Glad I did! Normally a 6, received a size 5. I have a narrow foot and liked that they are adjustable, since I would be wearing them without socks for summer. The adjustable velcro really helps keep them on my feet. I found that if I adjust the strap WHILE STANDING, I get just the right fit. I like a good arch support - this slipper definitely has it - but I'm wondering if it might be too much? (Still Keeping them). They are padded well/nice and soft, but firm with the arch support. The tan color is "ok" - but there were not too many choices left in my size.

These are yummy! My feet look like bear feet in them, but they are so cute and comfy that I don't care! Great arch support. They have become my "quarantine uniform"!

The strap is adjustable, and the slippers are extremely comfortable. I'm on my third pair. My only complaint is that for the price, I think they should wear a little better.

The arch support could be better, honestly.

too slippy even when you tighten velco tops, very comfortable feel and good arch... Sorry I couldn't buy since slippage.

I have trouble finding slippers for my narrow feet. These are comfortable if worn with a sock. Without a sock, they are too wide.

I thought the open style would make this slipper good for summer, but the footbed is "fur-like" and made my feet start sweating shortly after I put them on. The adjustable strap is great to get the right fit and the arch support was Vionic "right on." But my feet slipped when walking in them, due to the fur footbed, so I tightened the straps and then they were uncomfortable.

I really wanted these to work. I do not have particularly narrow feet; I am steadfastly medium width. However, even with adjusting these, the front of my feet kept sliding too far forward. Not good. Back they go, and the search continues! Thanks, Zappos, for the great policies that allow me to find the best fit!

the problem is the fabric, my foot wants to slide forward, no matter how tight! I have to return them.

Vionic Relax-Seemed to be what I was looking for; a open toe slipper with support. Problem was, for me, the support was in the wrong part of my arch. I know I have a long arch, but this brand seems to be made for someone else entirely. I think part of the problem was ordering a size down, which many reviewers recommended. So, being a 91/2 or 10 normally, I ordered the 9. The length was perfect, but the arch was in the wrong spot for comfort. So, back they go!

I wanted to love this slipper, but unfortunately the fit was not right for my foot issues. The arch support on the left foot is very uncomfortable and rubs. The foot bed seems to offer a great amount of cushion and support which is great. The top is a velcro crossover, without much coverage. It barely pulls across my foot, with is only medium width. For someone with a very narrow foot, it might be better. Sadly, I much return.

I ordered because it said medium/wide. It was still too narrow. It is difficult for me to find a Round toe , wide width slipper. For this reason, I am keeping the size 6 I ordered and returning this one.

My experience with sizes - too large, too small... First I ordered the size 9, because I am a true size 9 (but at times have ordered shoes in size 9.5 for preference.) I read reviews that they ran large, but thought 9 would work. They felt really comfortable, but there was a lot of extra length at the front, and some at the back. So I set them aside and ordered a size 8. The size 8 didn’t feel good, or fit right, because of where the arch support hit me, and also now the length was borderline too short and the effect of that was my foot felt unstable and slipped off the footbed when I walked. Definitely not going to work. Back to the 9’s, yes...they have a bit extra real estate and are definitely not flattering, but I feel that because of this there is ample room in the footbed for my feet to sink in and be comfortable and stable. The adjustable strap is really great. Definitely keeping the 9’s... Condition: Plantar fasciitis. Big thank you to Zappos for free shipping both ways, and - the fastest of all the online retailers I shop!!

These are a very comfortable style with great adjustability, good cushioning. These only come in medium width, and I really need a wide. Vionic does offer some of their shoes and slides in wide, but unfortunately not in this slipper :(

Very comfortable but wider width option would be better. I normally wear a 9WW and the 9 was way to long so i got the 8 which is perfect. And while the strap is adjustable, it doesn't give you much to work with. they fit, but a little longer strap and "Velcro" would be better. Note, the strap on the 9 was no better for me.

This slipper would have been such a good idea. it is the correct size in a 7, although I usually wear an 8. However, the strap attachments to the sole were done in what appears to be an incorrect way. I found I was walking partly on the strap, and it was uncomfortable. These are going back.

My first high arch support slipper! The fabric is very soft yet this construction is super supportive to my arch. Immediately, I believe there is some relief to my low back pain, but time will tell after making this my new house slipper. I followed other reviewers' suggestions to order a smaller size than usual. The length for me is perfect but the width is crowding out my little toes which are of course in a very softly covered space. Hoping it will give a little with wear. There is a velcro adjustment for the width but not making a difference to the somewhat narrow platform on which my little toes rest.

These fit like a glove and are the most comfortable slippers. I bought four other pair of Orthaheel recently and it took about four days to learn to use some muscles that forgot they were there, but since then the only thing my feet say is thank you! I would appreciate better quality in the shoes so hopefully the company will begin to use leather!

I love these slippers! The high arch, deep heel so I do not fall out of them, softness and adjustability. I also have the closed toe ones, but have tender toes and my feet slide forward and hit the front, so these are the best for me.

I got these for when I need to out in the backyard from inside, they are easy to get in and out of and totally adjustable. They would take some getting used to if I had them on for any length of time, but I don't use them for that anyway. Main things-they are cute and easy to get on and off!

I have trouble with my feel and they hurt a lot. I am also very hard to fit in shoes. This little slipper is great to support my arches. This is my second pair and I'm hoping they will always make these. I love Zappos and the excellent service they provide!
