Customer Reviews VIONIC Melissa Mule

This summer I was able to wear nice sandals and flip flops for the first time in two years since I developed plantar fasciitis. I was able to wear the size 7 but I would have liked a 7 1/2. I really wish there were more choices of fall/winter shoes, mules are not my first choice of a winter shoe. I really need these Melissa mules in a half size larger. I wish the company would make all their shoes in half sizes.

Oh my goodness, I am so glad that Zappos exists! I have had the most positive experiences time after time. Since shoes vary in their sizing, I ordered the wrong size. I called immediately and voila...the correct size was there in no time. Unbelievable. Zappos employees must be very happy at their job because they are the nicest people to deal with. I am 65 years old and I remember 'good old fashioned customer service'. Zappos has adhered to this policy from the onset. Bravo. By the way, I love the shoes I ordered. I have hammer toes and other foot problems and these shoes have saved the day.

I have severe plantar fasciitis. A co-worker recommended Orthaheel shoes & slippers as they "cured" her! I ordered the Melissa Mule with reservations. I have bunions and the mule doesn't come in a wide width. I also vary between a size 8 and 8.5. I felt with free returns, I could take the chance. At the same time I ordered Gemma slippers. Wow! Am I glad I took my co-worker's advice. I wore the slippers around the house in the evenings for about 4 days before I ventured to the shoes. What a difference Orthaheels has made in my foot pain! With the size 8 Melissa Mule, the toe box is large enough that they are comfortable without needing a wide width. There's also some elastic give with the strap. My foot pain has improved so much. Now Orthaheel, please design a closed in shoe as cute as the Melissa Mule.

I have severe plantar fasciitis and this is the only shoe I can wear to work. The sandals in the summer were also great. If you wear 7 1/2, buy a 7. I have a wide foot and these are fine. I do wish they would have a few prettier style with the same great feel.

Cute as can be but the support and fit just didn't work for me the way the sandals do - too bad. Too narrow in the front to accommodate my bunion.

A bit disappointed in this one. I have 4 pairs of Orthaheels sandals and a pair of sneakers, all of which I love. This style just isn't as comfortable for me. It's a bit tight across at the ball of my foot and the sole seems very hard -- no cushion. I wear them because I think they're adorable, but I make sure I won't have to do a lot walking.

Although these are ortho shoes, they are really cute! They are truly comfortable. I wish that they had more stylish looks. I have the rolling foot just like in the Orthaheel video & they really did correct my instep. They can use my feet in their commercial! I have a painful time when I am on my feet for a few hours, but with these Orthaheels I can be on my feet all day and that is saying a lot for me! They do feel a bit wide but that is fine because I plan on wearing them in cooler weather with socks. I was told to get a size smaller because they run big. I wear a 7½ in all my shoes so I got these in a size 7. They were right. I had no problems! I am not one to go around bare footed so I cannot wait to get the house slippers.

Cute shoe. Great for summer and spring. Great support in arch area and plenty of toe box room.

Love the comfort of this shoe. I have PF and high arches and it has great support-it is great-no pain with this shoe.

This shoe is a bit wide for my foot, but the strap can be tightened to hold my foot securely. The arch support is improving my plantar faciitis. I have no heel pain after wearing these consistently. Orthoheel is a great brand for those with foot and arch support problems.

I am a huge fan of Orthaheel Tide and was excited to see this mule. I love the Color and comfort. I wear size 8 and with Orthaheel I have to wear 7 and can only use those with open toe and/or heel, but that is why these work for me. Along with a great Chiropractor Orthaheel has helped me completely correct my knee problems.

This is the second pair of Orthaheel shoes I have ordered from Zappos. These are so comfortable and fit really well. I would love to be able to get them in half sizes. Zappos were very helpful over the phone and I was amazed at how quickly I received my shoes. I will definitely be ordering more Orthaheel shoes from Zappos.

I loved this shoe. I always have problems with the toes of a shoe being too tight, but these are great. I have had many women come up and ask where I got such cute shoes. Of course I said, Zappos!

I have had plantar fasciitis for over 10 years and I have to be ultra careful with the shoes I wear. Up until I found this shoe, I had to wear only FitFlops which is not great in the winter! I was skeptical about Orthaheel, but liked the 30 day guarantee. It felt like a safe try. I love them! It took me several days to get used to the arch support being so firm (which usually doesn't phase me). It's a different feel. However, fter nearly a month of wearing them I loved them.

I ordered one size larger than I usually wear and it was just right. These are really comfortable and the strap allows me to wear socks during cold weather. These shoes have support that is as good as my expensive orthotics. I wish there were more styles and colors!

I am a firm believer of the Othoheel shoe and have almost every type. They are not the best styling shoe but have prevented my Plantar Fascitis coming back. I highly recommend them as the best shoe on he market.

I am so pleased with with this shoe. The arch support and cushion bed makes it very easy to wear all day.

I ordered these a couple of months ago and wind up wearing them all of the time because of the extra support. They go to work, out walking on warm clear days and are slippers at night. If you need extra arch support these are great shoes.

One of the few shoes I've been able to wear that helps my plantar fasciitis and doesn't put undue pressure on the ball of my foot. Downsides: they scuff very easily and are not exactly high fashion. But they get the job done if your foot is in pain.

I love these shoes! I already own the Orthaheel flip flops, and needed something for winter. These are the most comfortable shoes! Exactly what I expected and I have received many compliments. These shoes have saved my feet!

These shoes are very cute and comfortable. I wear a half size, so had to go up to the next full size...the fit is fine. I got these (and a few other Orthoheel shoes, slippers) because my feet were hurting. After wearing Orthaheel for about a week, my feet were much better. The arch support in these shoes seem to make the difference.

These shoes will grow on you (not the cutest, but definitely functional and therapeutic). The arch support makes them great! This high arch girl loves the Orthaheel line.

An amazingly comfortable Mary Jane style shoe... even for one with a bunion. Great arch support. Wish they had a hundred more styles and colors!

These are seriously awesome shoes. I have to work on cement floors all day, and these keep me going. I have plantar fasciitis and these mules make it possible for me to work. If you're vacillating, just go for it. You won't be sorry. Now that the snow's here, I'm looking at Orthaheel shoes.

I plan to use my Orthaheel Melissa Mule as my everyday fall/winter shoes when I run errands because they're light and comfortable and much better looking than tennis shoes if you want to look a little more pulled together. These are my first pair of shoes from Orthaheel. Like previous reviews, I had to get used to the support's feel. It initially feels like there's a lump on the inner side of the arches. I used them inside my house from the time I received them in the early evening until bedtime. The next morning, I put them on and they didn't feel as weird as the prior day. This is my third day putzing around in them, and they feel very comfortable. I don't seem to notice the "lump" anymore. I wear medium-width shoes. These feel wider than normal, but I think that's what makes them feel so comfortable. Besides, I adjusted the straps so I wouldn't feel like I was walking out of them. The shoes are actually cute, considering they are orthotic shoes. I like the Mary-Jane look, especially because they can show off my cute winter socks collection. I especially love the ease of sliding in my feet into the shoes with no problem...almost like flip flops!
