Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

These were very loose on my feet so I returned them. Wish I had the reviews before purchasing so I could have avoided this process.

I have 2 pair Vionic flip flops that fit perfect, these don’t.

I Like the comfort of this shoe 100%. Was NOT impressed at all with the wear and tear. I work in an office and in Hawaii we wear flip flops all the time, for every occasion. I wear there every day to work (in an office), and only 1 month in, the edges are nicked and scraped. I don't see these lasting more than a few months. Not what I expected for a $70 pair of flip flops. My previous Olukais lasted me two years of the same daily wear. No change in what I do, where I go, what ground I walk on. I really wanna love this shoe. I do. But I don't feel like the foot bed is made of durable material. I don't see how they would last at all if I wore them to the beach etc.

For my foot, the arch was way too high. The footbed was kind of shiny, so my foot kept trying to slip to the right. Maybe the arch will settle down after a while, but the slippery footing was too disconcerting.

Loved the shoe, but insole was too high and I couldn't walk in them.

While this Tide II style almost fit my foot, I had the same problem as with the other half-dozen Vionic styles I tried: the straps are too loose and the sandal flops around when I walk. It's a hazard. Disappointed because the brand seems well made, wish they'd make an adjustable strap for the flip flop styles.

I have been wearing Orthaheel for years and loved them. (thank you Zappos!) Since Vionic took over Orthaheel, I have tried 5-7 different styles. The new sandals seem to be made totally different from the good quality shoes that used to be, the foot bed feels totally different from before. This was a great shoe for those of us with feet issues, but now no longer an option.

I love the look of these shoes but they were so uncomfortable. After wearing these for less than an hour, I was in such pain at the base of my toes it was unbearable. I've never had an issue with Vionic as far as comfort in the past, so I was disappointed that I had to send them back

These sandals do not have the support of Vionic shoes

I got these as I wanted to try a flip flop with an arch support. Bottom line: They hurt. There was nothing really comfy about these, even to wear around the house. The material is extremely stiff. Remember, no shoe should ever have to be broken in. They should be comfortable right out of the box or they are not a good fit. They're going back. I did however, buy the High tide. and they were much better. See review on those.

I really wanted this flip flop to work for me because I am looking for more arch support, but I had to send it back. It was very uncomfortable, hard on my foot. I didn't want to take the time to see if I could used to them, because they hurt my feet after only a few minutes. The arch support is there, but it felt like it was pushing my foot off to the side and I didn't find the straps very secure on my feet. I am a size 8 and the 8 fit just fine.

Ouch! I have fairly high arches, but these are too high, and hurt my feet. Also, foot bed has no give; it is hard. These are straight out uncomfortable.

I purchased this sandal because of the style but reluctantly because of the mixed reviews. This sandal is so uncomfortable that I can't even walk in them. The arch support is terrible and very hard. It's a shame because it's a nice looking sandal. I will be returning them.

I really wanted to love this flip flop. I have high arches and I know that flip flops aren't the best shoe for my feet. However, sometimes flip flops are needed. Based on the reviews I decided to purchase these flip flops. The first day that I wore the flip flops, they really hurt my feet but I figured that maybe I needed to break them in. I have tried to wear them 3 other times but the discomfort didn't ease up. In fact, I had so much pain in my shins and ankles that I felt like I had ran a marthon in my bare feet. It hurt to walk. Definitely not the right flip flop for me. I will keep wearing the Sanuk Yoga Slings for now.

I bought these and unfortunately wore them outside before discovering that the patent leather design gave me a blister. I was able to unstitch the square in the front which made them wearable but I wouldn't recommend them. They are not comfortable.

I was very disappointed with this flip-flop. It seems that Vionic has forgotten that: 1) Women's feet are not always medium/wide (I have a narrow foot, so this flip-flop flopped all around my feet when I tried to walk). 2) Comfort means more than a high arch. This flip-flop was so hard, that my feet hurt. It would be nice to have some cushioning in addition to the arch support. 3) Why mess with an excellent design? The previous design of these flip-flops not only were more comfortable, but they had an adjustable strap so that you could loosen or tighten the strap to find your perfect fit! Please bring back the previous design!

I started with these flip flops when they were Orthaheel. Loved. When they became Vionic, they were not as good but still better than anything else I had tried. Do they keep changing them? I just ordered new ones to replace 2 year old shoes. They are so loose on my feet as to be useless. My old ones still fit better. Please go back to the original model!

I love this sandal except I ordered the navy and the patent leather strap has a more of a green tint -- I'm really disappointed --I will definitely order a different Vionic sandal - I have one pair already and the arch support is the best!

Very wide, and too long too. The 10 was at least an inch too long for my size 91/2, sometimes 10 feet. Not designed for my feet. Also, I purchased the gold, which turned out to be a boring camel color. No pizazz.

It's not the same. I have two old pairs that are still wonderful with fantastic arch support. These new ones have incomplete arch support and loose straps. Others here and I keep saying this -- don't ruin and change a previously great product?

Wish I read the reviews more closely before buying these shoes. I too have worn and loved many pairs of Orthaheels' version of the Tide. Vionics' new version of the Tide look the same in pictures but feel significantly different on: less cushioning, less arch support, smaller heel cup. Also, the straps were as loose out of the box as my oldest pair, which means that they would become ridiculously loose after only a few wears. I don't know where to go from here, but hope to find another brand of flip-flops as supportive and comfortable as the old Tide. No thanks given to Vionic for messing with a good thing. Great appreciation to Zappos for their wonderful return policy!

When I put moderate arch support, I'm being generous. These are not the Orthoheels of old. They are cheaper quality, variety and just plain not as pretty and feminine. Cheap knockoffs.
