Customer Reviews VIONIC Gemma

These slippers are great. They took a little getting used to as they are more rigid than regular slippers, but the extra support helped relieve the pain of my recent bout with plantar fasciitis. If you have high arches and suffer from plantar fasciitis, these are a must have.

Love these! I have plantar fasciitis, and my doctor said I had to be in my sneakers even at home when on my feet (for the support). I found these after many searches in stores, online, even asking my doctor. They have great arch support and foot bed - perfect for my plantar fasciitis and over pronating feet!

Seem a bit wide, and the footbed is kinda hard, but they give me the support I need around the house. Keeping them.

Bought this embarrassing old lady style for the arch support. They make unfashionable slippers that are so much more comfortable and supportive than all the brands I ever tried. Ugly, not durable or well made but U had no choice as they are the best for PF. They need to hire a designer.

The shoes were comfortable and fit just fine however the fabric on the inside of the shoe is slippery and causes your foot to slip and slide when walking and that could be a fall hazard. I think it would help if they used a less slippery material on the interior of the shoe

I got these hoping they'd work with my plantar fasciitis. As it got worse, these became uncomfortable to wear. Thought I might be able to wear them if it got better. But I find them much too stiff to be comfortable. It does have an arch support but not much in the heel. I feel like my foot is sliding to the outside of the shoe in the heel. Not working for me.

The biggest problem I have with these is that one year later, the insoles are all torn up. I only wear them in the house. It is uncomfortable having holes where my feet rest so I have to throw them away. I expected to get at least two years out of them.

THese ran large and the arch support was too high & hard...actually painful....really wish they had worked because they were soft & cushy & well made.

Love these slippers. They are great for my plantar fasciitis! My only caveat is that they are very light pink and cannot be washed. I guess you can spot clean them but I do a lot of cooking and I can imagine them getting very stained very quickly. I should have gotten the black. Other than that they are great!

Liked this slipper, loved the fun leopard print & support however noted with having them on a while didn’t breathe well & made my foot sweat. I have extremely FLAT feet & chronic foot/ankle pain & Vionic brand is awesome giving me an option for cute & comfortable shoes. Exchanging for the RELAX design slipper with open toe for breath ability, same cute print!

Great telework shoes.

My feet do not feel "snug" in the slippers, but maybe they will when I wear socks in the winter. The arch support is wonderful. I like the design and the fabric.

I have a high arch and I'm heartbroken that these were NOT comfortable for the upper part of my arch. The end hit right on the top of my arch and OUCH! They look so comfortable and other than that they are. I'm so sad they didn't work for me. Wish they would make the top of the shoe come up higher so that the top edge would not cut into the top of my arch.

I own several pairs of these slippers. I wear them constantly around the house. I like having the arch support in a slipper. Boy, do my feet need it. I have a wide foot with a terrible bunion, so the width is ok for me. My only negative is ,sometimes, I think they could fall off my feet going up and down stairs but I basically live on one floor .

I'm very happy with the purchase. My feet have been aching and I needed additional support around the house. I wanted to try something new and after reading the reviews, I decided to try these slippers. I was pleasantly surprised! They are a bit clunky, but they have great arch support and are warm. I am usually a 7.5 or 8, and ordered these in the 8... they fit perfectly and I'm able to wear socks with them.

As others have noted, the fabric is a bit slippery. They are very supportive and can be tightened a bit.

Love it! Looks clunky but fir slippers around the house with arch support, they can’t be beat.

My podiatrist said I have to wear shoes with insoles all day, but since I don't like wearing shoes in the house, I bought these slippers with arch support built in. They're great! They loosened up rather quickly, but there is a velcro strap to tighten it back in so my feet don't slide back and forth.

These slippers are great if you have bone spurs or plantar fasciitis. They are pretty firm at first but once you break them in they are more comfortable then the custom orthodics my doctor gave me for my shoes. I wish I could wear them to work! They do hold odor though and are not machine washable.

Needed supportive slipper due to reoccurring arch issues. Sort of "grandma-ish" but do the trick. That's why I chose the leopard and had to try to spice them up! These have really worked well in keeping my feet in better shape instead of going barefoot after work as I love to do. Great support especially with the Velcro strap to tighten down for a more narrow foot.

Excellent for arch and heel problems but run a little wide.

Fairly comfortable if you require decent arch support, but the foot bed does not seem to have as much support as the Orthaheel sandals.

These slippers are warm, comfortable and roomy with the same great support you always get from Orthaheel. But it does come with a little downside. The slippers are a little slippery and you must be a little more careful not to get off balance due to the soft fabric. There is no strap to keep them snug to your foot and you wouldn't want that anyway. I still love them!

These slippers feel a bit wide and insecure at the arch/instep/heel on my foot. I have a low arch and a low instep, so that may be part of my issue, however some other reviewers noted the same problem. I tried a smaller size, but it felt too short. The Velcro allows for a little bit of adjustment, so I was able to make them work. Perhaps these would fit well on a wider foot with a high instep. The tops look a bit like wearing pillows, but they do have excellent arch support, which helps avoid plantar fascitis flareups.
