Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I ordered these shoes as they were recommended by my podiatrist as offering more support for my very high arches, and to help me deal with my plantar fasciitis. They definately have a higher arch than the Olukai flip flops I have work for years. In fact it took a few days to get used to the support. But now they are great. They have a nice footbed that is a bit grippy but does not bother the bottom of my foot.

Purchased due to foot issues, plantar fibromatosis, and Achilles tendonitis, and needed support. I already have the vionic slippers. Initially the arch felt very high and I didn't think I could keep them. I gave them a few days of wearing around the house, I'm sold! Excellent support, keeps ankle straight, worth the price.

Very comfortable

I loved the sandal. But I did have a problem with the size. I am in between a 6 and 7 wide. The 6 are too small and the arch hits in the wrong place. Those I had to return! It’s alittle weird- I had to get the size 7’s they are too big all they way around my foot, however my arch hits in exactly the right spot! That’s the most important thing. However I would ask Vionic to please make the Tide II in half sizes as well as wide widths.

These are just as good as the last pair I bought when they were orthoheel!

These would have been perfect were it not for the fact that the piece that fits between the toes rubbed my right foot raw. The left foot was fine. The support is great and the shoes are comfortable and cute, but I had to return them. Luckily, I found the very similar Olukai Ohana, which fit perfectly and didn't rub.

I have a high in-step and found the arch support to fit right where I needed it most. I ordered a size 8 down instead of my normal size 9 after reading the reviews and I did not want a sloppy shoe to walk out of - I found the size 8 for fitting perfectly and not sloppy at all. The most comfortable shoes to wear so I purchased two pairs. I am 66 years old with lower back pain from gardening and that is why I started the research to find something that will work for me. These shoes are perfect.

My feet are messed up enough that it’s not a great idea for me to go barefoot. I use these as slippers when we travel, and sometimes at home as well, when I need more arch support than my regular slippers provide.

My very favorite flip flop. Great arch support and well made. My first pair has been worn all summer and lasted for years.

I LOVE these flip flops. As a sufferer of chronic plantat faciitus, these are the ONLY sandals I can wear, and they’re comfortable and cute.

I have Plantar Faciiatis on both feet and tendonitis in one ankle, which has led to knee and hip pain. My aunt suggested these shoes and I live in them. Have them in many colors and fancy ones too. I definitely recommend Vionics to anyone with back, knee, ankle concerns and they have a great arch!

I normally wear a 9.5. There were no half sizes so I ordered a 10. It turns out these flip flops run large. The 9 fits much better.

I LOVE this flip flop. I've never tried Vionic before so I can't confirm that an older style is better but after having foot problems (from wearing too many flat flip flops & Converse with no arch support) these are amazing. They took a little getting used too as I'm not used to such a pronounced arch in a shoe but after wearing around my apartment a few times I've completely gotten used to it. I have a semi-wide foot and the straps still are a little roomy which makes them extra comfortable. I'm a pretty solid 6.5 in shoes and ordered the 6 in these.

I was introduced to this sandal when I had Planter Fasciatis and they have been wonderful. I have continued to buy them and have about 4 colors now, as they are so comfortable and I think help prevent a return of the PF with the arch support.

These are my favorite. They are my second pair so I didn't really need to break them in. They have pretty much cured my planter fasciitis.

I have really bad planter fasciitis and my podiatrist recommend this brand. Tried this shoe first and so glad I did! My feet are getting better and they don't even look like orthotic shoes! Great brand! After these worked so well I bought slippers, 2 other Vionic sandals and a pair of Vionic Mary Janes. All great and helping my feet!!!

I love this flip flop! I suffer with plantar fasciitis and love to wear flip flops all summer but suffer if I do because of the lack of arch support. These are fantastic. I can wear all day and not pay for it later. I also ordered a pair of Spenco's I will keep they are good but not as good as the Vionic. The vionic has better support for my arch and heel. I wore my normal size 7 in both.

I love these Vionic Orthaheel Technology Tide II! I have had Planter Fasciitis for a couple of months. I am very active, and have been crippled with this ailment. These shoes have felt great on my feet. I can really feel the difference when I put them on. They give me the support where I need it the most, in my arch. They look great, slip on and off easily. I suggest these shoes highly! For my workout shoes I use Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx inserts, and also Orthaheel inserts.

I loved the feel of these sandals even though they were too small. I sized down to an 8 ( I wear an 8 1/2) as suggested. I would like to reorder a 9 but I hesitate since I actually received the wrong sandal. The box was marked Tide II, which was what I wanted, but I received Tide with sequins. This is not the first time this has happened to me. The last time was with a Brighton bag. While I love Zappos and have ordered often, I feel that maybe someone should be more diligent in verifying the product in the box is the same as described on the box.

I am normally an 8 1/2 and an 8 fit perfectly. I have problem with planter fasciitis in my arch of right foot, these are like slippers, but have a dressier flair. Going to order another color! Thank you Orthaheel.

I absolutely love these flip flops! Last summer I was miserable with regular flip flops as I have planter fasciitis, with these, I don't wake up in pain after a day wearing them!

Love the shoe! It is so comfortable. The only negative. I have a narrow foot and they are a little wide for me. Perfection would have been a snugger fit.

I have an extremely high arch and these provide the support I need and look fantastic too!

These shoes are great! At first you think the arch is too high but that's exactly what your foot needs. I have four pair and have given a pair to my daughters and granddaughters to prevent or treat foot problems! I wish they made some with sparkles!

Wonderful sandal. True to size with firm high arch. I have Morton's neuroma and as soon as I put these on the tingling and pain stops. The arch support takes the pressure off the ball of my feet and I can walk in comfort. I have flat feet and these are excellent support. They look great and no one would suspect that they are an ortho shoe. Well made - I have had them about a month and they are holding up well.
