Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I bought 2 new colors of this style that I purchased a couple of years ago. The new ones are MUCH WIDER and too big! So disappointed, my old ones are perfect. Cannot return as the new ones were clearance colors :(. IF you have a wide foot, you'll like these. Don't buy if you have a medium width foot.

I ordered a pair of these sandals on advice from my podiatrist. I have significant edema in my legs and feet, and was told I needed better arch support. These were extremely uncomfortable but I wore them as directed. After two weeks of hobbling around feeling like I was walking barefoot on cement I gave up. I have a high instep so there wasn't room for an orthotic cushion so no more Vionic sandals for me!!

Loved the look of these sandals, but unfortunately in having no availability in half sizes, as well as the width availability in Medium/wide only, when having a fairly narrow foot there was no way they suited my feet.

Disappointed that they aren't very comfortable and look clunkier in person.

This is my second pair of Tide II flip flops. I loved the first pair and wore them constantly for many months. This new pair is much too loose on one foot. I am disappointed.

Sorry, as I have bought many of this shoe and love them, but this particular one, a flip-flop, is way too loose across the top and flips all over when I try to walk in it, All my others have been great. Hopefully, just an isolated case.

These shoes almost worked, but the strap between the toes extending to the arch is far too tight. I wear a size medium width shoe, so I was surprised this didn't fit me. Also, these shoes would be better for me if the sole was a little softer and if they had higher arch supports

I probably have 5-6 pair of Vionic Sandals in my closet. They have always been my go to sandal for everything. I spend many hours at work in the summer of my feet, working on rocks that always keep my feet off balance. Because of the abuse my feet get, Vionic were a lifesaver for my feet and were worth every cent. But like others have said, the last couple of pair I got just wasn't the same quality as they used to be. The arch supports were less, the straps were loose and they just don't hold up so well either. I want new ones but afraid to order them and be disappointed.

Ordered medium, but only medium-wide was on the menu. Too high, making them too big!

I've been buying Vionic for many years and my favorites are the Tide Sandals, but it seems that they are too loose to stay on my feet which has caused a problem with the joint in my big toe. I've dealt with Planter Fasciitis for over 30 years and these were the only sandals I could wear to walk long distances. Not any more. I do not have narrow feet at all, and I'm not complaining about the width, it's the straps. I've noticed they even get looser as you wear them. I tried adding adhesive padding under straps, but that's uncomfortable. What happened to these Sandals that I loved so much? So sad!!!

Squeaky - took them on vacation, and they squeaked like crazy! I am considering returning them.

I was impressed with appearance snd width of flip flops. I thought maybe break in period but my bottom of my feet and calves are very sore.

I have been wearing Tide for over 10 years and one of my newer pairs on both shoes have ripped apart at the seem on the back of the shoe. It appears they aren't made as well as they use to be.

i might be happy but all the shoes ive tried to buy dont have my size. purchaced what usually is my size and needed to go down a size and nothing. Tried a different shoe and still nothing.

These saved my feet, however you changed them!! They feel like plastic in the footbed and the strap is soooo loose. Why?? Why do you change something that was working for everyone? I'm sure it was sent over seas to pocket more profit. Sad world

They seem slippery and are uncomfortable. I have tried wearing them gradually a little more each day but it doesn't help. I would return them if I could.

I love these sandals in the past. They have have been life savers. I have ordered over 10 pairs in the last few years... They keep me able to walk after years of plantar fasciitis pain...these vionic sandals have been miracle workers and kept this pain away!! But now after ordering new ones I am devastated because the new ones do not have as high of an arch nor is the heel bed as good. In addition, I have to order new pairs more often because the arch support is not staying firm as long as the older ones and the toe thong is stretching after a few months of wear which means the sandal is loose on my foot. I had to have a shoe repair person fix this at an additional cost so they would not fit loose. I see others are reviewing with the same disappointment in arch and heel cup changes and we are all begging you to please go back to the original quality. We are happy to pay the cost of your sandal but need it to be the great quality it use to be. Please please re-look at how you can bring back the quality!

I was really looking forward to getting these new flip-flops from Vionic but was so disappointed. First they were way too big. I wear a 71/2 so I ordered an 8. The general rule is to order up.Then I ordered the Med-Wide. There was no Med. to choose. The straps were way too loose and I couldn't walk in the shoes and keep them on. Also the footbed was very unforgiving. I thought I might exchange them for the Basic but reading the reviews the straps on those were too big also. They would probably be good if you have a wide or a plump foot. I usually love Vionic shoes because of the high arches that really support my feet.

These would be great if they were made for the medium width foot, or even better, a narrow option.
