Customer Reviews VIONIC Arcadia Mary Jane

Sadly, I have to return these shoes. Like another reviewer said, they dug into the back of my heels. I would have to wear bandaids, and I don't want that. They were stiff, too, and I wasn't confident that they'd give me all day comfort like the rest of my Orthaheel shoes do.

While these shoes have good arch support, the minimal coverage on the sides does not support the foot. My foot collapses when I walk, and by trying on these shoes I learned that my foot needs more side support than a Mary Jane provides. The toe area was also a little too narrow for my feet in the medium width. I returned them.

Cute shoes and very comfortable - Orthaheel brand really works for me. The reason for the low rating is because during my third time wearing them (unfortunately while I was traveling overseas) the rubber sole began peeling back from the shoe! By the time I returned for the day the sole had peeled back about 1/3 of the way from the top/front of the shoe and had begun flapping when I walked a ridiculous trip and fall hazard. I'm going to try and glue the sole back to the shoe.

I must say NO arch support because the arch hits me in the heel. The design of the shoe won't let me place my heel all the way back in the shoe. If I take the insole out and just stand on that, it feels great! I am returning them.

The footbed in this style was not enough support and the hard rubber sole is really noisy on solid surface flooring. I will return these.

The old version of this shoe was really good. They recently redesigned slightly and are using different materials which are subpar to the old ones. The area around the toe wears really quickly because the material is cheap. I'm really sad that my favorite shoe has been ruined.

Could not give these a 5 star because the strap is too short and you have to be so careful to make sure it makes contact completely with the velcro. If not, you can be walking along and it comes unstrapped and trip on it. :( I have about 10 pairs of the Orthaheel shoes and these are the first ones I have had any problems with.

Returning this one. There is no arch support in this style; felt like I was barefoot which hurts when you have p.f. I recently purchased two other styles, a mule and tide sandal which I love.

These are very cute shoes, but they do not the great arch support as in the Tide sandals and the Sasha mules. Orthaheel made a big difference between shoes with inserts and solid footbeds. The Tides are the greatest, but the Arcadia Mary Jane is lacking big time in total support. I wish they would make more shoes with a solid built in footbed, and also closed toe sandals would be nice. I walked about two minutes in the house with these Mary Jane and knew right away that they would not going to work at all like the Tides do. Thanks to Zappos for wonderful service.

This shoe fits my post-surgical, plantar fasciitis foot like a dream. I can walk with great arch support, width in the bunion area, and no pain. I would like to have the black and brown pair, also. But, why will I not order another pair? The squeak! I cannot wear these to work or church because of the noise that these shoes make. This probably sounds amusing, but it's not at this price. So, the company will lose a future sale and I will lose because I found a great walking shoe that I won't reorder.

First let me say that the shoes are cute and extremely comfortable. I ordered them in Black and Brown and have worn them at the office for about a month and they are coming apart. The sole is coming apart from the shoe and the coloring is flaking off all over. Basically, I wasted a lot on shoes that I will now have to toss in the garbage. I am very disappointed!

These shoes are extremely comfortable! Unfortunately, the material on the outside of the shoe, towards the back has rubbed off, after wearing them only three times! I was very disappointed! I will be asking for a refund or a replacement. Hopefully this was only a defective pair. As to fit, I wear them on my commute to work and they are wonderful. They do make my feet look a bit like banana boats, but they feel like a dream. I wear a 9 medium and they are true to size.

Very comfortable and felt great on my feet, but even barely velcro-ed, they were too tight. Too bad the strap isn't longer - I'm reluctantly returning them.

I love this shoe, but unfortunately I can't wear it! The first pair I ordered was a size 8, my normal size in Orthaheel shoes. It was way too big. I could stick my whole finger behind the heel. I ordered a 7.5 and it fit great except for the strap. For people whose feet swell during the day, the strap is no long enough. I can barely get the strap across my foot in the morning and by the afternoon, it starts popping off! Have to send these back. So sad!

Bought these at a local store for my 10 year old daughter. She loves them. I hate them the sole completely peeled off of the right shoe in two weeks with less than 10 wearings. Not for us!

I was excited to try Orthaheel and I wear Maryjanes - Wow! Such disappointment. They actually hurt - the straps are not long enough to accommodate a slightly wider foot. My knees were in agony! Get them off me quick! Back they go ASAP!

I was excited to get a pair of shoes that helped with my plantar fasciitis; however, these shoes are not going to help. The arch support is so far back that it sits under my heel. Also, I walked across the living room a couple of times in them, and since the insole isn't attached to the shoe, it makes a horrible "farting" noise. Since it wasn't clear from the picture, I had hoped to wear these to work, but they are too casual of a style for a professional office.

I love Orthaheel shoes but was astounded to find that the right shoe developed a very loud squeak after I wore them for a few weeks. After experimenting to find the source of the sound, I discovered that if I removed the insole, the sound completely stopped when I replaced it with a another insole. Well, this was discouraging because I had worn them and couldn't return them. I have written to Orthaheel to see if they can suggest anything for me but I am really upset that I paid so much money for a pair of squeaky shoes!

I really wanted to love these shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and I am a teacher that stands on cement all day. When I tried them on, I thought the arch was in the wrong place, kind of low on the heel. But it works because my arches felt great the first day I wore these. But, the material was so cheap and the heel too high so that I ended up with blisters on the back on my feet. So back they go - bummer. Side note: I also have heart defects and have problems with swelling in my feet. My feet are normally thin, but when they swell they are a bit wide. And my feet were swimming in these shoes - they are way too wide!

Felt like a dream on my feet, but in less than 1 month wore out. Materials used are inferior, especially for a shoe retailing for this price. I plan to ask for refund.

Unfortunately I'm sending these back. The velcro closure is flawed-there isn't really enough adjustability. I have a slightly wide foot-nothing too much-but the velcro barely met up for closure-uncomfortably tight. Very cute but needs a redesign on the strap.
