Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

These fit as expected. As indicated in the description, I'm a half-size and ordered down. While these are comfortable, they don't have the same excellent arch support of previous Tide flip flops. I ordered the "snake skin" and like the way they look. Just wish the arch support was better as in the past models. I'll keep and wear them - but would really love to have the older version with the really high arch support!

I like these flip flops a lot, I'm used to wearing the Vionic Beach and these are much more solid and have much better arch support. There's a few things with these, though, that I really wish were different. They're wide-I wish that Vionic at least made a narrow version of this shoe. I don't feel that the straps fit my foot snug/well enough, so when I'm walking I wind up gripping the shoe with my toes to avoid them sliding around under my foot. And the strap is rubbing against the top of my foot and it's becoming irritated. I've had them for about a week now and am only wearing them around the house and don't feel that I can venture out in these yet. But the arch support is helping my back and knees.

I've got plantar fasciitis in both of my feet (prominent pain in both my heels and my arches) and was recommended Vionic as a brand to try out. These flip flops looked nice and I wanted to love them, but the material of the sole was so hard that the arches felt like I literally was standing on two softballs--not great if part of your problem is arch pain and your arches are tender. For those seeking relief from heel pain, these are a good option to try as they have a heel cup and can provide both stability and support for the heel.

This shoe has good arch support for a flip flop. The problem I have is that the straps are too wide for my narrow foot and don't constrain my feel enough when I walk. I am going to go down a size to see if that works. Otherwise, this is an attractive and comfortable shoe.

This is my second pair. The first were actually orthoheel which were wider and felt different. Still keeping these but not as impressed as with the orthoheel.

I have a size 8 Tide II that I bought in June 2017. They are a great fit for overall size and width. Wide enough to be comfortabe but not loose, easily covers the length of the foot. All that said, I wanted another pair ina new color this year. They are not the same shoe! I got a size 8 again and this model is easily a size smaller and more of a narrow width than a medium width. I will be returning and sizing up and hope that a larger size will equal the fit of last years Tide II. Four stars because the design and support are good, one star because they messed with the fit.

As a longtime customer of Vionic, I am very disappointed and even grieved that they have decided to decrease the width of their shoes across the board. I have always been happy with the Tide I for my wide foot and sadly this Tide II new release is definitely more narrow. This is true for all of their other flip flop styles as well, all of which I tried and sent back. Vionic, please leave at least one option for your customer base with wide feet! Either make the Tide II in regular and wide or re release the Tide I in its original wide form. Or offer all your styles in regular and wide...and I"ll buy them all! Not sure why you would leave zero options for the portion of your market that has wide feet, the market that made you profitable!

Zapoos has great service and a great selection! In general, I love these shoes. I’ve worn them for years. I recently purchased 3 pairs and 2 of them had problems. One pair had a right shoe that was skewed so that it did not sit flat on the floor like the other one. The other pair had a right shoe in which the toe post pulled to one side. I also have had a quality problem with another model of Vionic sandals. They are so comfortable for me when they are made a bit better. I cringe at having to return so much, but that’s how we do things these days, I guess. I do hope Vionic can work out their quality issues.

I have other Vionic flip-flops that fit well and are snug and secure on my foot. These are the same size just a different style and they fit very differently. They are very loose and floppy and just not secure on my foot.

I wanted to love this shoe but I need a half size! I tried the 8 because reviews said size down but that was too small and the 9 is too big. And since this shoe has such pronounced arch support it is really important they fit right. Bummer.

The straps are too long, and the toe divide is too long. They felt big and sloppy. These were to be my fifth, identical pair of these sandals. I've never had a poor fit before. I returned them.

Thought I could wear a flip-flop but the toe piece just kept cutting my toes. Very uncomfortable for me even wearing my Injinji toe socks! I like the Vionic footbed but this style just isn't for me. I am sorry they discontinued the Navajo sandal. It was my favorite.

I have flatter feet so I do want some arch support, but I found all the vionics I tried to be too uncomfortable given their very high arch. Fitflops were a better match for my heel pain and flatter feet.

Thong area is too tight and was uncomfortable for the few minutes I wore these.

As other reviewers have said, Vionic has changed our beloved Orthaheel. I was buying this Tide sandal to replace the ones that I have worn out. It's not the same. The straps rub the top of my foot, the toe posts rub, and the shoe is stiff. They are more expensive than the original Tide, but the materials feel cheaper. Pretty please bring the original Tide back!

These are not as good now that Vionic is making them. The arch support is much less. Straps are too loose. Please fix this Vionic! I loved Orthaheels and am frantically trying to buy the old styles online as they fit better.

Ended up returning item. The sandals were cute but felt very heavy on my feet - almost like there were weights in the heel area!

Waaaayyyy to wide for my narrow foot. Ordered a size smaller than usual, and no chance. They just flopped around on my foot. Seemed like they would be comfortable for someone with a wide foot.

I'm just so incredibly disappointed in this shoe. I've been wearing Vionic (Orthaheel) Tide sandals for about 12 years. Vionic is what I wear almost exclusively, and I have several pairs of Tide sandals. Most of the pairs that I currently have are getting old, so I ordered a new pair of Tide shoes and three other styles of sandals as well. All four pairs are going back! Vionic has changed these sandals. They used to have great arch support. It's now merely ok. My old sandals that I want to replace have a higher arch and are more comfortable and supportive than the new shoes I just received. I don't know why Vionic would change these, but they no longer work for me. The arch isn't as high, and the heel cup isn't as deep. Sadly, it's time to find another brand!

I own several pairs of orthaheel tides. I’m returning the newest ones I just received. The straps are much tighter and the shoe is almost 1/2 inch shorter and a tad narrower than my older pairs. I went to a local store, taking with me a pair I bought from them last year. I wanted to see if the local store also had the same shrunken size 8 sandals. Sadly, they did. So something has changed with these shoes. I am going to try a size 9 but it feels sloppy loose. Vionic needs to get its act together. And maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a $65 sandal should come in half sizes.

I ordered the cork sandal and the piece that goes between toes broke. Hopefully the new ones will be better.

Love the style. I have owned probably 8 pairs over the years in many colors. I have only worn this brand the last few years because of such bad feet pain I could hardly walk. These white ones I don’t know what they did but my feet pain is back. They changed something and they are not the same. I’m extremely disappointed and wasted close to $100 on shoes I cannot wear, and it is a stretch for me to afford these. I wear them exclusively everyday other than my vionic tennis shoes if needed. I cannot walk barefoot any longer unfortunately. I’m very disappointed and will have to seek out a podiatrist to find a better solution. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it vionic.

I have a pair of these purchased last year and they are absolutely perfect. But something this time was very wrong with Vionic's quality control! The right sandal is perfect but the left sandal has a high ridge in the middle of the arch which makes it very painful and it's so high the strap is tight. Thinking this was a problem with just this pair, I tried a second pair but it had the exact same problem. Returning both pairs and I'll have to try another brand. Vionic needs to fix this ASAP if they want to keep their customers!
