Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I ordered 2 pairs of these and wear them all of the time. I have flat feet so the supportive arch feels great. Normally I do not like the thong material between my toes (I find it irritating) but the material on these is soft and not an issue.

I am very pleased with these Vionic Tide II sandals. They are very comfortable. I need the arch support because I have one very flat foot. I like the soft thong between my toes. I adjusted to using them very quickly. I am wearing them every day and am very pleased to own them!

I bought these to wear in the house for arch support, they’re perfect!

Comfy for traveling - okay to get wet, so great for poolside or beach.

Love these flip flops such good arch support. I buy a pair every year.

My fav style of Vionics. An early version of sandals that are perfect in fit. As suggested size down if half sized. These are white which are not bright white but go with anything light in color. They have a fabric toe part so are comfortable and the arch hits my foot in right place.

Happy with product. These are replacing pair that our grand-dog got to.

The ONLY flip flops I wear! I’ve had plantar fasciitis and these give support for my arches. I own several pairs…. I’ve been wearing them since before vionics bought the company (used to be othaheel). They seem pricy for flip flops but it is worth it! These were my original pair from over 10 years ago… they finally needed to be replaced

These shoes are perfect for people with a high arch and have plantar fasciitis. I have now purchased my second pair as I’ve had my old ones for several years and they look a little worn down but still are wearable. When my new tide’s arrived I was reminded: these do have a breaking-in period. I recall the first time I bought them years ago they seemed a little stiff and really hold up against your arch and that initial reaction hasn’t changed. The inside of the arch feels sore for a bit and then over time that goes away. The rubber is very sturdy and this is a good thing as this means the support is going to hold up for a long time (and they truly did for my old ones). Once they are worn in they practically melded to the shape of my feet—hence the reason I’ve replied on them for so many years as my “feel-good” shoes. If you are looking for sandals and have high arch/PF… these are it! Just know you’ll need a little patience for the breaking in period. The most notable attribute for these sandals is after a long day in other shoes (professional work shoes, cute flats, sneakers) I come home and I relish the feeling of putting these sandals on. I think it’s because none of my other shoes (even with my orthotic insert) feel as good as wearing these sandals and it’s a reprieve to have something truly support my arch. So I find the breaking in period ultimately worth it for this reason alone. Tip: Try wearing them around the house first for a few hours at a time for breaking-in until they become comfortable. I’m doing that with the new ones and then switch back to my already broken-in old ones when I need a break. Hope this helps anyone deciding to buy it or even whether they are deciding to keep it because that initial shock of how high the arch is, is real!

They are a little stiff at the beginning but eventually "mold" to feet and you are good to go. I have bought 3 pairs of these so far and I love them.

I love these flips. Given my plantar issues, they're the only brand I can wear. The shoe has a definite arch, so don't expect these to be flat, with no support (like most flips).
