Customer Reviews VIONIC Gemma

I love slippers and can never seem to have enough of them. I loved the looks of these, but when they arrived they felt too big and they were very heavy. I had difficulty picking my feet up because of their weight. I also felt that the arch support pushed my feet out to a supinate position. They are cute but I have to return them.

I was looking for a slipper to wear around the house with more support than my beloved Uggs. Going back to my Uggs. Although these felt good on my feet, my feet sweated in them. The sheepskin in Uggs controls that better. I returned these and ordered my Uggs.

I don't understand why there were so many glowing reviews. These slippers were not comfortable. They are 'clunky' and stiff. When I first put them on they did not feel good but followed the recommendation to wear them for a few hours over a couple of days to get used to them. It didn't help. They were as uncomfortable the second day as they were the first. Beware!

Disappointed by the poor quality of the shoes for the price I paid. Ortha is just a ploy to make consumer think they are orthotically correct, which they are not; they actually hurt as the so called support is rigid. Look of the shoe is also ugly.

These shoes are just not comfortable. They are rigid and hard...not at all what I want when I come home at the end of the day. I love their flip flops which I wear every day all summer long.

After reading all the good reviews I decided to order these slippers. As soon as they arrived I opened the box and put them on. Within 30 seconds I removed them and placed them back in the box to return them. I cannot believe how quickly my toes started to hurt. While they do have good arch support these slippers are much too hard for me to wear.

Not sure who these are supposed to fit - it ain't me. Super wide, very short, the velcro does nothing to adjust the width.

it was obvious someone had these slippers before me because there was hair and lint inside them. i let Zappos know. they also were not very comfortable for my feet, the arch was too high. disappointed, sent them back.

Very disappointed, several years ago I purchased this very same slipper from Vionic and at that time was pleased beyond belief. This new purchase was disappointing to say the least, the materials are more synthetic and the overall construction of the slipper is not as sturdy as my first pair. Although the arch supports was acceptable the slipper as a whole does not provide the support needed as the remaining food pad is much too spongy. If I had not thrown my box away I would have returned them. Very unhappy!

So wide, and the insole fur so slippery they were impossible to wear. I wear a medium width which these purported to be.

For me, I was so happy when they came! Soft and great color. Just way too wide.

Kind of clunky looking. The arch support was too firm and high for my feet.

I have narrow feet and was excited about the Velcro tab. Alas, Zappos shoe size suggestion was too large. The arch support was painful. Felt like a wooden dowel across the slipper beneath my foot. I’m sending them back

This slipper is very comfortable but, THE SOLES ARE VERY SLIPPERY. There is no traction. I've slipped on hardwood, tile, linoleum. Carpet is the only safe surface for these slippers. Too bad. Otherwise they are great. As a senior, I can't afford to fall.

I had a pair of these slippers for two years and literal wore out the soles. Loved everything about them! Hate, and I mean hate these. Cheap material. Not as much arch support. Just cheaply made. What happened Vionic?

The fit and size of these slippers was fine, and the materials used seemed to be great quality. I gave them only 1 star because the arch was so high that it was painful. I gave the excellent rating on arch support only because that rating indicated that the arch support was way more than moderate. These slippers would be great for anyone with really high arches. I am returning these slippers.

Not comfortable at all. It's like walking on cement. I am not sure why it is so hard to find comfortable slippers.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! Vionic soles are to die for, so comfortable and supportive, but the construction is shoddy. First I bought a different style, fur with the blingy button accessory. Rhinestones started falling out the first day. Within weeks, the footbed (the material that your foot rests on) disintegrated. I returned them and ordered this style, hoping that maybe I just got a defective shoe. Nope, within TWO DAYS the footbed started peeling apart. This is a construction problem, and is likely related to the adhesive used to glue fabric to the sole. I really loved the comfort and support of the Vionic sole but I can't walk around the house with crumpled up wads of fabric in my shoe. So I'm back to wearing a 5 year old pair of cheap slippers that are still in one piece. Vionic, please fix the problem and let us know!

Poorly made! Great fit, very comfortable - until the lining on the footbed became unattached after about two wearings! I repaired the first one that came loose and thought that was that. Then after a week, the other one came unglued from the base and I ended up injuring the bottom of my foot on a rough spot (which is why I looked into the slipper in the first place. I am now wearing two cushioned pads on the bottom of my foot so I can walk without pain. Anyway, before wearing, please check the tightness of the glued down footbed lining and either reglue them yourself before wearing - or return them before you have worn them. Unfortunately, I no longer have the box and have worn them for a while, so I can't return them. Too bad, because if the quality had matched the other attributes, these would have been ideal slippers!

I am suffering from plantar fasciitis, have fallen arches, and overpronate. When I first started to wear these, I had immediate relief and thought I had found a miracle slipper! But after wearing these for a week, the top of my foot was in agony from the pulling the weight of the slipper. My thin feet are not used to this heavy of a shoe. The option to loosen the top with velcro did not help as it made the slipper too loose and slip off as I walked. In addition, the arch is very aggressive. This helped initially but ended up giving me huge painful swollen lumps in the middle of my arches on both feet! I stopped wearing them and the swelling went away after a day. I put them on a week later and the lumps started to form again. I would rather go barefoot than wear these, which is torture. So my search continues.

This is my second pair of Orthaheel slippers and I have to say that I am very disappointed in this pair. They are comfortable but have fallen apart after only 2 weeks! The lining has completely come off at the toes on both slippers and the rest of the slipper is leaving balls of fuzz over my clothes. I only wear them in the house so I was expecting to get a little more wear from them!

I found this slipper to be very uncomfortable and have several pair of Orthaheel shoes.

These are great slip-on slippers. Very good quality and nice and warm.

Perfect slipper, I now have ordered 3 paif
