Customer Reviews VIONIC Mojave Vionic™ Sport Recovery Toepost Sandal

I don't get the hype. These shoes felt hard and plastic, and the straps were rough. I could only stand them for a few minutes. The arch support was great though!

The strap that comes diagonally across the top is too short. It actually pulls up the tip of the shoe by the big toe and pulls your foot back so it feels like you are walking on the side of your foot. My feet tend to be more swollen on top and around the big toe area so the diagonal strap was not long enough for me and it is not adjustable. I have arthritis in the joint of my big toes and the toe loop pulled my toe towards the inside of the shoe/foot which irritated my arthritis. I did however love the style, they just need to add a little extra length to the cross strap. I ordered the purple Tide II and the arch support is not as significant in these as the Tide II. The arch support in this shoe is good,but not as significant as the Tide II. I wear 10½ and sized down half a size as recommended and they were perfect. The width was good, too. I think that I have somewhat wider feet and these were great as far as width.

I'm returning these because they look too orthopedic. The sole is pretty wide and a bland grey color that reminds me of nursing shoes. They do feel comfortable, with a high arch and lots of cushioning, but they're too ugly.

I now have 5 pairs of Orthaheel shoes which in the past I have loved. However, since the Vionic name went on this brand, the insoles are made of synthetic material which burns and irritates the soles of my feet terrible. This pair is the worst! They are cute sandals with a good fit, but after having them on for about 20 minutes, my feet start burning. It is impossible to wear them for a full day. Quite a disappointment.

Love the look of these...but too tight across the lower part of foot. Wish it had an adjustable strap like the top one. I had so much hope for these shoes!

I purchased these sandals last summer and loved them. However, after wearing them last summer and part of this summer, the round cushion in the heel has compressed to the point that it feels like I am walking on a shoe with a quarter sized hole in the heel. It is very uncomfortable and has irritated my plantar fasciitis. Until this happened I was very pleased with the shoe but at the price I think they should last more than a season.

I have a pair of Orthaheel boots and Dr. Weil sandals by Orthaheel and love them both. However, this sandal has some issues. They are very comfy for my heel and arch, but a back strap would be nice. When I walk in them they want to fling off the front of my foot causing me to hold them on with my toes which in turn has caused injury to my arch and the top of my foot to where I can't walk easily. I'm very disappointed because I love the look and feel (for when I'm standing still) I wish they had an option to buy an attachable heel strap. Since I had only worn them a few times in the 30 day money back guarantee and not walked a distance in them, I can't return them. Maybe I'll create a makeshift strap to add to the heel, myself.

Very attractive and well-made. Orthaheel shoes all run large, so be aware and order a half size down. The insole of these shoes had a ridged design in it and it was terribly, terribly uncomfortable on the bottoms of my feet. I have never experienced this in a shoe before. Otherwise, I would have kept them.

Cute shoe and very comfortable, but I'm on my second pair and the toe straps break within months of purchase. The toe strap is attached to the sole by a very small piece of elastic and the elastic stretches and then unravels and breaks. On a cheaper sandal, I might expect this, but at this price, I would expect much better quality. Too bad, since everything else about this shoe is excellent!

I love these sandals. They are like an extension of my foot. My foot and shoes are one. They are very light and supportive. I wear them everywhere and they have even become my go-to for slippers. They are not good for me for exercise walking, but great for running errands, shopping and around the house. The only structural problem I have with them has been the right toe strap. My first pair, the toe strap broke within a few weeks. My second pair, the right toe strap has held, but has stretched completely out from where it is attached. This is such a great sandal, it is too bad that it has that flaw. I just hope they fix it.

Super comfortable, and they stay on your feet rather than flopping around like flip flops. BUT! the insole is completely non-absorbent and non-breathe-able, and the bottoms of your feet will be slick with sweat! Don't buy unless no other sandals work for you!

I like the look of these shoes and they are comfortable. However, they do not work well for me because my feet are narrow. The straps are not adjustable enough. I have the one strap that is adjustable pulled as tight as possible and it is still too loose. I ended up keeping the shoes but I am only able to use them for short periods of time- taking out the trash or taking the dog outside quickly. If you have narrow feet, I wouldn't get these as they are rather pricey for shoes that you can only use around the house.

Vionic does not seem to be consistent on sizes. I have this same pair of sandals in another color. This pair is "swimming" on my feet. Going to return them.

I own two pair of Vionic sandals that I am thrilled with. I am recovering from a year of horrible plantar fasciitis. I ordered these because I wanted something a little different. The sole is not made of the same material as the other two pair I own. It is not as supportive. I found them a lot of work to walk in. There is only one strap to adjust them. They feel 'floppy'. They were a good thought, but not quite successful for my feet.

I tried & tried to wear this shoe but their were little pokey things sticking up all over the sole and I just couldn't get over the feeling that I was being pricked by a pin. Also, the shoe is very large and very wide. I wear a normal size 9 but I just couldn't get over how much too big these shoes looked on me. Even the toe strap was about 1 whole inch larger than my toe! Also, I think these shoes are made with cheap material for the price - simply not worth it. After trying 3 different pair of Vionic's I'm moving on to a better made shoe. The reason I even tried these is because they are being advertised as a great fix for Plantar Fasciitis and I believe if they started using quality materials, that high arch would be perfect for the issue.

I expected a more natural fit for the price. Also, the design on the in-sole of the sandal made it feel like I was walking with something in my shoe. Not worth the money.

I have always worn a size 9 shoe. The molded portion of the footbed felt true to size, but the toe loop was too far forward for my foot. Hit my big toe about halfway up rather than near where my toe grows out of my foot. I don't want to try a size down because I think the footbed would not fit. There are grooves on the footbed that kind of squeeze together, very slightly pinching my skin with each step. I don't know whether this would eventually not bug me or later grow into a problem. Have to send them back.

This sandal is so comfortable but I am sad to say that in 5 months the sandals toe loop broke. Very expensive sandal to have fall apart.

Sadly, I'll be returning these shoes. The contours of the footbed are great and a perfect fit for me and my foot issues. The overall shoe design just has some big problems. The straps are all too long. Only one of them is adjustable. They should all be adjustable, even the toe loop! They should also be made so that after the straps are adjusted properly, the excess strap that drags on the ground can simply be cut off with a pair of scissors. Strangely, although the photo makes this shoe look as if it is sporty and rugged, it is not. The straps are rather too thin and delicate-looking in person. The sole unit is also too thin, flexible, and not substantial enough. (I can feel the bumps in the carpet through these soles.) This not only looks very awkward on the foot, it also makes not enough protection for walking around the block. I hope Orthaheel reads some of this feedback. The concept is fantastic. I want to be able to buy sandals that are great for my feet!

I love Orthaheel and REALLY wanted to love this shoe. I've never thought of myself as having a narrow or tiny foot, but these shoes wouldn't stay on my feet if I tried to velcro it to fit. When I did get the velcro to fit, the strap dragged on the ground. It looked weird. Had to return. I found a pair of Merrell's that worked well.

I thought these would be a good fit for my high instep, since the sandal has an adjustable strap. However, the strap is very short and would not fasten over my high instep.

I'm returning these. The Velcro on the strap in order for me to tighten the strap end is on the floor. The footbed if made of a different material, rather than plastic of some sort, would be so much more comfortable.

This shoe is miss-proportioned to your foot. There is no heel room and way too much room in the toe area. I wish they were proportioned right because I love the style.

I purchased these shoes a couple of weeks ago and initially gave them a good review, thinking that after I broke them in they would be great. But I have to retract my first review. The footbed is wonderful - I stand by that. But, like other reviewers, I have found that the top straps, particularly the ones across the big toe, are just too tight, and after two weeks of wear they have not stretched out at all. One toe is actually bruised where the strap cuts across it. And I do not have "fat" or wide feet or particularly large toes. Unfortunately, over time I have found these shoes to be so uncomfortable that I cannot wear them, and having worn them a couple of hours a day for two weeks to try to break them in, it is now too late to return them. So now I'm out a lot of money for shoes I cannot wear and cannot return.
