Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

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).

True to size fit. Nice arch support. My 4th pair in a different color!

4th time buying this sandal. Best shoe I've found for my flat feet.

have had these in the past and they fit well with all my feet problems, however for some reason this style on my feet where the strap meets up with the strips across my foot rubs in my foot giving a irritation to my skin which has not happened in the past. where everything meets just not smooth on the corners to cause irritation. so these will go back

This is my second pair of these flip-flops. Much more supportive yet still good looking than most flip-flops. I really like the arch and heel support.

I really liked how they looked. the arch was just too high for me.

I’ve been wearing these Vionic sandals for years, they only offer whole sizes and I’ve found that I need to size down rather than up, I buy a size 8 my usual size is 81/2. Very good arch support for a flip flop. So many colors to choose from!
