Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I really wanted to love these. I have plantar fasciitis and have to wear house shoes all the time. Unfortunately these slippers are very wide and I have to pull them tight to stay on my feet. I really wish there was more velcro.

I have plantar fasciitis and needed a comfortable slipper with arch support to wear around the house since I can no longer go barefoot. Vionic Relax are very soft and comfortable. They do what was advertised and what I need.

These are adjustable with Velcro straps so that makes them easier to get to fit your foot.

love them but to big. I will be ordering one size small

This is for anyone with chronic Plantar Faciitis : my podiatrist recommended this brand and here’s my experience. These slippers are very soft & the bands completely adjustable, so they work for both wide, narrow and high step feet. There is a good arch support and it will work well if that’s all you need. My feet are size 6 and high arch, and a tear in the Plantar. It worked well for my right foot, but very painful for my left foot, as the arch wouldn’t fall in the right spot and made it very painful. However, as I lost weight, it became easier to wear, and do I use them during warmer season. I did buy Merrel slippers with woolly stuff in it. It is the best slippers I’ve ever had. It has good support while it’s not so high as it would fall on an uncomfortable spot.

I was hesitant because it’s a really ugly shoe, let’s be honest. But my plantar fasciitis was getting so bad and wearing sneakers in the house was not helping. So I gave them a shot and in just three days, I’ve noticed a significant improvement. I am on my feet at least 10 hours day in our home and we’ve got all hardwood floors. These have been a lifesaver! They breathe really well, too. I was afraid my feet would get too hot and sweaty but that’s not the case. I’m definitely glad I purchased these and would get them again, despite their lack of style.

Description states shoe has 1" heel, but this is misleading because the rest of the shoe is a platform so it really is a flat shoe.

These are supportive and comfortable. They felt a bit too hard when I first wore them, but it did not take long to get used to them. Once I was use to the support, I found these to be comfortable. I wear these all the time rather than walk around the house barefoot. I ordered them in black and wore that pair out. I replaced that pair with the tan ones. I do agree with other reviewers though who wrote that these make your feet sweat.

Cute, but hit my arch in the wrong spot.

Ugly but oh so comfy!

I had gotten into a bad habit of walking around the house in my bare feet. That, plus 10,000++ steps per day in shoes with insufficient arch support left my feet in bad shape. I ordered these for wearing at home, and a couple of pair of Vionic flip-flops and insoles for outside. It's only been a couple of weeks, but my feet already feel better. The slippers aren't that attractive. Definitely an old-lady vibe going on. But they work. I ordered a full-size down, and even so, and EVEN with the adjustable instep, they still are a little wide. Definitely size down. I would - and probably will - buy these again!

I hated to spend this much on slippers, but my feet definitely appreciate them! My only complaint is that the slippers are hot in the summer!

A bit too heavy and couldn't hold my feet. Too wide for my feet

Have seen for years Vionic shoes marketed on TV shopping channels and although I was impressed by how a foot and leg were made to align properly by the technology I was never inclined to order a pair because I did not think it was something I needed. However, after recently connecting with a new chiropractor about knee, hip and IT band issues in my right leg he suggested I try Vionic to help get things back on track. I know enough not to go barefoot anymore and had been relying on other brands to help we the knee and hip pain. These slippers seem to be helping a bit ( although I would not rely solely on a corrective shoe/sandal/slipper to do the trick) and they are comfortable right out of the box. Also ordered a lovely pair of sandals that have good support. My only issue with the slippers is that the velcro closing across the top of the slipper does not stay in place all the time which means regularly having to tighten it...I believe someone else mentioned a similar issue. I don't have a narrow foot but they are skinny enough that it is a bit annoying but other than that I am finding these slippers to be a good alternative to the other sandals I was using as slippers.

My only objection to these slippers was the price. My PT recommended this slipper to me a while ago, but I resisted because $60.00 for a pair of slippers is pricey. I have plantar fasciitis and was told to always wear shoes in the house. These slippers offer great support and are a good alternative to wearing shoes when I am home. They are easy to slip on and off as opposed to keeping shoes on in the evening when I am relaxing in a chair. I take an 8 1/2 shoe so I purchased the 8 and the fit is just right. I have read reviews that say they run wide, I do not have a wide foot and found the width to also be just right. The strap across the top is velcro, so it can be adjusted if needed.

I have no arches at all, and desperately need arch support in all my shoes, even slippers. I really love these. They're amazingly comfortable, and work well for me 3/4 of the year. (I have a pair of Vionic booties for cold winter nights.) My only complaint is that they really are a bit too wide, and I have to snug them up with a lot of overlap of the top Velcro to the side of the shoe. The leopard print is fun. Slippers should be fun.

Great house shoes that are supportive (we have all tile floors) and comfy. I love that they do not make your feet feel hot. In Florida, it is rare to need slippers that are "warm". I love that they're adjustable.

I was surprised that these were a full size larger. I have 8's in a pair of Vionic flip flop sandals and a different style slipper, but these slippers fit perfectly in a 7. These are lighter than my other slippers which is nice, but still sturdy and lots of support. I got the tan and really like the nude look for summer around the house.
