Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

So comfortable - didn't need any break in and gives excellent support for my foot. I wished it didn't have patent leather accent at first but now Im used to is and it can make sandal a little dressier if you'd like.

These are the best flips out there! They have a good supportive sole where others are very flat. I find I have less back pain wearing them. And Zappos has a great variety and they come quickly !

They fit perfectly. I'm a teacher and on my feet all day so comfort is critical for me. They provided support all day and they're not bulky. Love them!!!!

I have worn the Vionic Tide for many years! Great colors and love the style, No back pain any longer after these great arch support shoes!

Arch support and heel cup was just what you need! These are stable, sturdy flip-flops. They are a bit heavy so there was some break in needed around the strap area.

I love this sandal...helps my plantar fasciitis. I normally wear a 9 in sandals and these fit fine. Helps my posture as well. Great brand.

Wore these for 5 hours the first time, no back pain & no leg pain. I will definitely try another style by Vionic again!

I usually wear a 6 & 1/2 but always get a size 6 in the Vionics. Love these durable flops! They have great arch support and I can walk in them all day with out any pain.

Love, love, love these! A wise clerk at the Walking Store made me buy these the 1st time. I thought the high arch was uncomfortable, but she insisted that I buy them and return them if I didn't like them. She was SO right! I suffer from PF and have a really hard time finding flat shoes that are comfortable. Flip flops were out of the question! Now, when I come home from work, I kick off my work shoes and change into FLIP FLOPS...who would have thought these would stretch and relax my feet?!? I just bought a replacement for the pair that I've been wearing for more than 3 years. They are still just as fantastic. I may buy more colors.I also have really wide feet and these manage to accommodate my width, so my little toe doesn't ride on the edge of the shoe...YAY!

Like many others, I have plantar fasciitis and knee problems. These are wonderful. Just a reminder if you wear a half size. Order a down. I use them as slippers as well as for quick jaunts to the store. I will be ordering them in more colors.

Life changing. After dealing with intense heel pain, I ordered these and now can wear sandals with no pain.

Love these! I have plantar fasciitis and these have excellent arch support. And they're cute - the shiny black accent dresses it up a bit, looking like patent leather.

I read the reviews about all the changes made by Vionics to the Orthaheel Tide, but I cautiously ordered a pair because I did not know of an alternative. (I had plantar faciitis for 10 years, and thankfully, am over that, but I am careful about continuing to wear appropriate footwear.) Honestly, I do not see the differences described in some of the reviews. Comparing an old Orthaheel with a new Vionic, I think the heel cup is a bit lower on the Vionic. But I think the arch support is the same. I am right now wearing an old one and a new one, and I really cannot tell the difference. Neither do I find a difference in the flexibility of the shoe or in the strap tightness. I think the excellent arch support is still there, and I do not think that the slightly lower heel cup makes any difference, at least not to me. Perhaps some people are sensitive to tiny changes that I cannot perceive, but I think that most people would find the new model to be just fine. Perhaps there are differences in other models, but I would consider the Vionic Tide II to be virtually the same as the Orthaheel Tide.

The Vionic sandals are the most comfortable that I have ever worn. There is lots of foot and arch support. These are pretty, too!

I love these flip flops! I have a high arch and they are very comfortable for extended walking! Only "shoes" I took on vacation for 10 days. They are the best and so is Zappos!

Great sandal with great support. If you are not used to the strong arch support, remember to follow the manufacturer's wearing guide for comfort use.

This is my third pair of these (my dog chewed one!) These are the only flipflops I wear. They have a great arch and help if you have ever had plantar facetious. Be warned that the arch is significant.

Love Vionic flip flops. Absolutely cannot wear anything else. I used to suffer after wearing flimsy flip flops but not with these. Try them, you'll be hooked.

These are remarkably comfortable sandals, especially as they are thongs, flipflops, whatever. There is a great arch to give the foot plenty of support. I recommend them to anyone who likes this type of shoe.

I love these flops! They have great support for my higher than average arch and keep me from getting heal pain when worn around the house instead of going bare foot. I have for pair and am considering more. I wear one pair daily in the house and they still feel great and look great after 16 months. I wear a nine in every shoe but this one - order a size down!

Very comfortable and fit my foot very well, I have painful bunions, a high arch, and otherwise narrow feet. I liked them so much I bought another pair but a different style and I rate them the same. Looking forward to getting the slippers.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these sandals! This is my third pair of the Tide II, first overall experience with the Vionic brand. First ones were the sequins in silver, which goes with anything, and then the teal ombre, which are a gorgeous color, and now the pink ombre. The pink is a prettier color than what I saw on my screen. The plastic overlay on the top part of the straps, which are the lightest color, is more of a dusty pink and way less coral colored than the pic makes them look on my screen. Love them even more in person than I did when I ordered them! Size, I normally wear an 8 to a 9 depending on the brand. Birkenstocks I am a 38, Nike's I am an 8.5 or 9, Adidas I am an 8 or 8.5, Merrell's I'm an 8.5 or 9. Arch support is awesome! For years, I lived in cutesy stylish flip flops all summer, and then in my early 30's developed P.F. My nurse friend said to trash all the cheap flip flops and invest in some with good arch support. So I started with Birkenstocks. That totally cured the P.F., but they had absolutely no cushion, and you can't get them wet. So I found these while browsing at a specialty footwear store and bought my first pair on the spot. I was very skeptical about how high the arch was and wasn't sure if I'd be able to handle them (and this is after about 4 summer's of living in Birkenstocks). It took me about 3 weeks to completely adjust to them and now I absolutely love them! Just a little FYI, I have slightly wider than average feet, and when I first put them on the straps felt pretty tight. Like, I had marks on the top of my feet by the end of the day. I've had my teal ones about a month now and they have stretched out and are no longer snug. I would caution that if you have wide feet you may find these uncomfortable, but if you can handle it until they are broke in, it does get better!

I have a pair of Tide sandals from 2012. Not sure which version they are, but these new Tide's do feel different. But not necessarily bad. I slipped them on and was so glad to have a new pair. These are the best sandals, with great support. I size down. I am generally a 6.5-7, but in Vionic, I am definitely a 6.

I love these shoes. Although they look like flip flops, they have great arch support. My feet are comfortable wearing these Vionics all day.

I have ordered from Zappos several times and they are great! I needed assistance this time from customer service and they were wonderful and stayed on the line with me until my order was completed. I received my shoes within days of placing my order. I will continue to purchase from Zappos in the future!
