Customer Reviews VIONIC Yasmin II Slide w/ Strap

Love the look! Fit is adjustable and comfortable. Sorry to have to return. Too wide for my foot causing straps to stick out too far when velcro fastened for a comfortable fit.

I purchased these shoes due to arch pain I was suffering. They do provide different arch support and so far, for me, the jury is out. I had to gradually adjust my foot to wearing this design and it's been a few weeks since I purchased them, they still bother one of my feet. They basically force the outside of your foot lower than the inside and supposedly align your foot/leg bones. I'll keep on trying to see if they help. Other than that, these are very strappy sandals and aren't as delicate as they look in the photos. I bought them for walking long distances while traveling, so am not so concerned about looks, mainly comfort and arch support. The footbed is thin and hard, which some may not find comfortable. I am also trying other designs by the Orthaheel to see how they compare.

All the straps on this sandal are adjustable so you can get a perfect fit. The only issue is that some might be too long/overlap if you're narrow in some areas. I didn't notice any of the straps being rough underneath or rubbing after I wore them around the house for half a day. The higher arch takes a little getting used to but when you go back to regular shoes, you really want to put these back on! It's not a "delicate" looking shoe but I got the cork color which is a great neutral/doesn't draw that much attention to my size 10 feet.

I loved the look of this shoe and it has good arch support, but the foot bed is made of plastic and my feet slip around and they just aren't comfortable. This seems to be a common problem with Orthaheel. I tried their flip flops but they are just cheap plastic. So both are going back to Zappos.

I bought a pair very similar in style to this one. I loved them until the buckle came off the right shoe, and I had to get them repaired for $35 to replace the inferior buckles. I should not have had to repair them so soon. Otherwise they fit like a dream, and I have pronating, flattening arches and medium wide feet but large (size 10) feet. They look great with pants or skirts.

I ordered the yasmin sandal and liked the fit, but the soles are plastic and are very uncomfortable when its warm. My feet stick to the bottom.

Love the support but am returning these sandals because of the squeaky foot bed. It's made of some sort of plastic or rubber.

I liked how the shoes looked, and I felt that the footbed was very comfortable with good arch support which is hard to find in a sandal. I was disappointed that the straps are just way too large. While the straps are adjustable, I was unable to adjust them enough to fit my foot. The footbed seemed true to size, but the straps left me feeling as though my foot was swimming in it. These will have to go back...too bad they were cute.

The innersole is not that comfortable for bare feet. The sling strap overlaps when you close it. I kept them because I'm so delighted to have a pair of sandals with a built in orthotic.

I developed a serious pain in my right heel and, after fussing around with shoe inserts, ordered these sandals. I've had them for a few months now and wear them 2 or 3 times a week. My plantar's pain is almost gone and I feel the shoes can take all the credit. That said, the contours of the shoe's sole are uncomfortable, which is why I don't wear them more often; my plantar's pain is replaced with an overall aching foot. Half sizes would help; my best fit was still a little too large so the sole is probably not aligned with my foot properly. The style is OK for pants and shorts but far too clunky to ever wear with a dress.

I have been wearing these Orthaheels for a year now. I live in California so sandals are a must, flat feet or not. I thought these were a great solution. But after wearing them on weekends at the beach for a year, they are literally falling apart. The straps have ripped away from the footbed, and the glue that holds the sole to the footbed has disintegrated and separated from each other. For the price I paid and the limited weekend wear that I used them for, I thought that they would last a lot longer! Also, I'm still fairly young and the Orthaheel style doesn't really come off as hip or trendy. I found another company that makes cork based orthotic sandals that seem a bit more appropriate for my age group. I found a few reviews that said they hold up well over time and actually mold to your foot as you wear them longer, which I must say Orthaheel does not - plus if it was a really hot day my feet would always get a little smelly in the Orthaheel. The new sandals I'm looking at have a footbed that prevents that. I don't think I will purchase Orthaheel again, especially since their flip flops and other styles really cut up my feet just by wearing them around the house. So that's my experience of wearing Orthaheels for a year in beachy Southern California.

This is really light weight, but the footbed didn't support my foot the way I had hoped, and the straps were really long.I am sure it is a great shoe for some people, but didn't work for me. Looks too orthotic and plasticky.

I bought this shoe because I was hoping that the adjustable straps would compensate for my narrow foot. Unfortunately these shoes were too wide despite the adjustments. The straps hung over and looked terrible and wasn't a good fit because of the width. I have plantar fasciitis and this would have been a great shoe if it fit Come on, Orthaheel, make a narrow width. We need shoes too!!

I was very unhappy with this shoe. My foot does not align. It slides all over the place and the velcro on the heels keeps opening. I did not get one season from them.

I really tried to like these. The only good thing is the excellent arch support. The footbed is very nonabsorbent and my feet get hot and stick to it. When I walk it sounds like Squidward from Spongebob. A sueded footbed such as those found on Birkenstocks, Mephistos, Alegria, etc. work better for me. Also, I have narrow heels and the heel strap did not adjust small enough for me.

The style is really cute, and the arch support felt good. The bad part is there are little nubbins/bumps on the sole that hurt my toes on the first try on. I could tell they would be really chafing and uncomfortable. Too bad.
