Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

These are great. They give the arch support that most flip flops don't.

Love these! Have not been able to wear thong sandals in years, but the support makes them so comfortable. Have bought them in 3 colors. The white is more ivory than white.

LOVE! Used to wear Haviannas, but too flat. I have no arch so these fit the bill. Very comfortable and felt no back pain after standing on concrete for a few hours. Worth the money, cute, and great quality. True fit. So happy...I got another pair. Zappos rocks! Received in one day.

Vionics are so great for my feet and these sandals are no exception. They fit well and are extremely comfortable. I had an awesome "delight code" which gave me a great price, too!!

These are very comfortable sandals. There isn't any break in time. Comfortable right out of the box. I like the bronze and brown combo, it goes with everything. I have another pair of Vionic's that have leather straps with beading, they took longer to get used to and to be comfortable. Leather was too stiff, but these Tide II's are great from the git go. Because I already had a pair of Vionic's I knew a size smaller than what I normally wear was the way to go.

These are great shoes. I like the way the shoe forms to fit your foot.

Decided to try these because having some plantar fasciitis. They don't hurt wearing them, but not sure they will create improvement either. Sizing seems true. Comfortable. Glad I got them.

These flip flops have helped relieve the pain in my heel. I need to wear them morning till night. Need more pairs.

Vionic flip flops are the only brand that I buy. They're attractive, comfortable and supportive.

Super comfortable, simple and pretty sandal. I can't wear cheap flip flops due to high arches, and high instep. These Vionics are made for me, with a nice heel cup and great support. Wear 'em all day long!

Love these sandals! They are comfortable and give me the support and cushioning I need. I can wear them all day and when I am doing a lot of walking and they look good on my foot. I highly recommend these sandals.

I love these sandals! I injured my Achilles' tendon and needed support in my shoes. I thought my flip flop days were over until my doctor recommended these sandals. They are attractive and so very comfortable. Even ordered another pain in black.

I was really nervous about these but decided to try. I wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8. It fit perfect! I have bone spurs in both heels and it hurts so bad to walk. These do take some breaking in but by the second day they are awesome! I wear them all the time. I switched to my flats to fly and carried them in my purse in case and my heels went back to terrible pain so I slipped them back on. Worth every penny. I'm a teacher so I am going to buy another style for school! Give them a few days to break in, then you will love them!

At first I loved it. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and high arches, so the arch support in these flipflops felt really good. But after a couple of days of wearing them in the house, my feet started to hurt, because the rise of the shoe didn't quite align with my arch. So, alas, they must go back. BUT I think they are really worth trying out: the cushioning is great and, if the curve of the shoe fits the curve of your foot, you'll be very, very comfy in these.

Great shoe. Arch support is comfortable, like a real shoe, not a flip flop. True to size.

I have 7 pairs of Tide II sandals. I love them! Can wear them everywhere for long periods of time and never have sciatic or knee pain. If I switch to another type of sandal or shoe, I almost immediately feel the pain. I was introduced to this brand by my podiatrist after he confirmed they would help with pronation and chronic sciatic pain. I cannot say enough about them; do not hesitate, you will love them.

I usually never write reviews but I relied heavily on reviews of this product before buying so I hope my feedback can be equally helpful to someone else. Many people complained about the new design of these shoes. I have a moderate sized arch and find that the arch support on this new Tide II is perfect for me. If you have very low arches it may be too much. Very high arches maybe not enough. As for sizing. I am normally a 7.5 and was advised by the Vionic folks to go up to a size 8. I love that Zappos offers free shipping and returns because this allowed me to order size 7 and 8. The size 7 was perfect for me. I really love these shoes. I often have trouble with flip flops because my feet are a little turned out and often my foot goes one way and the shoe goes the other. These shoes stay perfectly aligned to my feet. I would really recommend these shoes. They seem to be of good quality and I expect they will last a long time.

This is my first pair of Vionic shoes and my flat feet really love them! Vionic recommends wearing them just a few hours a day to start since the fit is quite different than a traditional flip flop, but they already feel really good. My feet are on the wide side and the width of these flip flops is just right. :)

I absolutely ADORE these shoes! I ordered the lilac, and unfortunately the color of the footbed began to fade within hours of wearing them. I called Zappos to discuss this and Heather immediately offered to send me a new pair. She didn't want me to return them; she said just donate them to someone who may need new shoes. So I was sent a new pair, same color. (And found a very grateful friend who appreciated new shoes.) Unfortunately these also faded on the footbed. I decided to keep this pair but called Zappos to discuss. They again offered to refund me my $$. I spoke with Stephanie this time. I am very happy with the customer service and will order more of the same shoe in the future. They fit well and the arch support is wonderful.

These felt like heaven the first time I put them on! I have a super high arch and most shoes and insoles for "high arches" don't even touch my arches, but these do. They immediately aligned my hips and knees correctly. I can tell the texture in the sole will take some getting used to, but my soles need to toughen up for the beach anyway. I have had arch and knee (patella) problems since I was a teenager. For decades I managed the pain with tape, exercise, and switching out shoes (not wearing shoes without support too many days in a row). For many years the Teva Original Mush, which molded to my feet and provided some arch support, was my go-to flip-flop, and I love flip-flops -- I'd wear them everyday if job and climate permitted, and I always wore them around the house. But as I passed 45 and became overweight for the first time in my life, the Tevas weren't cutting it anymore, and neither were my Birkenstocks, which I always had to add arch support to anyway. These Vionic flip-flops are exactly what I wanted. They're cute, they don't look like orthopedic shoes at all (style is super important to me), and they come in so many colors (color is also very important to me). I'm so glad I gave them a shot despite the price tag. I can't speak to longevity, but after wearing them around the house for less than a day, my knee flare-up already felt better. This is a lot of arch support. It might not be for you. But it's definitely worth a try. It might be just what you need, like it is for me.

This review can actually serve for two pair. After raving to my grown daughter about my Zappos purchase, she searched the catalog and found a pair (my credit card) for herself. Two happy customers, four happy feet. Also, I had an easy exchange with the first pair (I ordered the wrong size); your customer service is the best.

I had received a coupon from Zappo, and had never ordered from them before. Placed an order for Vinoic sandals, which I wear and love the way they feel and the durability of these shoes. Especially since I have issue with my feet. I placed my order one day and was totally shocked when I got them the next day. Great place to order shoes!

I love my new Vionics Tide II navy blue sandals! I first ordered a size 6 as I've always worn a 6, but realized immediately that they were too big--arch and heel were not in proper position. I called Zappos and they told exactly how to send them back, and I had a new size 5 within 2 days. Zappos is fantastic! I ordered a black pair, too!

Comfortable, attractive, sturdy pair of flip flops with slight arch support. Width runs big because, I have a huge wide foot and my foot slid right into this flip flop. This is my 2nd pair. Wish it had more arch support.

Very happy with style, support and comfort. I will definitely be buying more. Typically a size 8 and ordered a 7 and fits perfectly.
