Customer Reviews VIONIC Gemma

I love the arch support and being able to adjust the part across my foot. I AM concerned that the material doesn’t breathe and will make for a stinky shoe. It needs to have a natural fabric.

These slippers were my gift to myself. I normally just wear sandals at home but winter weather makes my toes cold. Regular department store or memory foam soles are not supportive enough so I decided to try these Vionic slippers - voila! They give me cozy toes AND adequate support for walking or standing. Wish they came in more colors.

I returned these house shoes because my foot kept slipping around on the back of the soft and furry fabric.

These felt true to size, just not right for me. These were VERY WARM, and made me instantly too hot. But the did feel nice and cushioned, while still feeling firm and supportive. I really liked the feel of plush soles, even though I only stood in the right shoe for a couple minutes. I just couldn't stand the heat! I am returning these since I also felt my toes hitting the end of the shoe, so even if I found myself outside in the snow, with these as my only shoes, they still won't work for me. But I have weird feet due to arthritis and hammer toes - Size 41in the toes, but still size 40 heel and arch, so I just have to wear only open toes shoes. I think I will try the open toe strap plush terry sandals in the same footbed.

As other reviewers have mentioned, if you are looking for soft and cozy. This is not it! If you are looking for a in house slipper to offer support, especially if you have flooring vs carpet. This is it. As in true Vionic fashion. I wish they could make a true medium. Just because one needs, wants a shoe, sandal or slipper with support. Does not mean that their foot is wider or ‘full’. If it was not for the Velcro adjustment they would be too wide. And honestly, I could use them a bit snugger. This is a constant issue with their brand. Open thong back strap sandals, I paid for a shoemaker to make extra holes to pull buckle back. Slip on sandals made due because of Velcro adjustment but felt it was too pulled over and killed the look. One who has a long foot or wants support does not mean the have a ‘fat foot’ a medium width should be just that.

I have bought Vionic shoes in the past so thought I would give these slippers a try. They would give me decent arch support walking around in and had a decent sole on them. They are a bit stiff at first but I am sure over time will feel much better on. Love the furry insides.

I just wish they held up better. I stopped buying for myself, but got these for my Grandma. She had a narrow foot, but lung disease has changed her extremities. I wanted a stable feeling slipper for her, though she had to adjust to the sole height and arch support…though she previously wore very flimsy slippers.

This slipper is for people who need orthotic arch support. I have feet that turn in at the ankles and I need something to align them. These work well for that. The arch does take some time to get used to, but now I don't even notice the high arch anymore. My only complaint is that one slipper has some frayed fabric already on the right outside toe area. Other than that, I would definitely buy again.

This slipper is good for people who need an orthotic arch support like I do for my bone spur. It aligns your feet so they don't turn in at the ankles. My only complaint is the fabric on the right front frayed pretty soon after receiving them. Other than that I will definitely buy these again.

I really wanted to love these shoes. The length was right, the footbed was supportive and the tiger pattern is really cute. However, the top of the shoes does not work for me. It is a simple dome shape and does not match a foot shape at all. My foot is narrow and I had to cinch the velcro down so that half of it was not on the bottom pad. It was hanging down beyond the sole to the floor. I had to send them back.

Just ok, but for the price, I wanted a lot more comfort

Cute slipper but the Velcro was maybe not going to be right if the slipper stretched a bit from wear.

Vionic run a bit too wide for my foot even with the velcro, so my arch did not fit in the correct spot. They also felt a little bit long, not much. I did really like the style and disappointed they didn't work out.

These are comfortable though not as comfortable for me as the Vionic Carlin. They feel a little larger and are a little bit slippery inside without socks....even adjusting the velcro straps to the tightest possible. I am keeping them as an extra pair of slippers but if I need to purchase new slippers in the future, I would definitely opt for the Vionic Carlin.

I do like these slippers and they’ve already helped with my heel pain. But I wish they had come in a wide width as these are a little tight across my toes.

As others have mentioned, these are definitely wide in width. You are able to adjust these to be tighter thanks to a velcro tab. Also the top edge of the slipper hit a little bit high on the top of my foot. The material is very soft. I am returning these due to the arch support being to high for me.

Finally found slippers with solid arch support. They are a bit bigger than size 8 I ordered, but comfy. I would give them five stars if there was a clear instructions on how to wash them, which is necessary for the slippers worn barefoot

I have picky feet and these fit well. The one thing that I do not like at all is that my feet sweat in these. I've never in my 60+ years ever had an issue with sweaty feet. And then they stink. I scrubbed them with soap, water and a long handled brush then air dried them. They survived. I do wish they would come up with maybe some sort of padding? other than what seems like terry cloth on the inside sole of the shoe. It's odd. I'm hoping to find something similar that doesn't cause this.

I really wish Vionic would make a half size between 5 and 6. They're so comfortable and come recommended by my podiatrist for my plantar fasciitis but the 6 is too big and the 5 is too small. Without a back to the slipper and without a raised toe bar to grip, they just kept sliding off. Sorry to say but I have to return these.

They are really good in terms of a throw on house shoe with support- but they are wide unless you have socks on.
