Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

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!

I just love these Vionic Tide II flip flops!! I have battled plantar fasciitis on and off for years and these Tide II are the most comfortable sandals and provide such great support while looking good too! This is the fourth pair of Vionic Tide II sandals that I've purchased, plus I have two pairs of Vionic slippers. I highly recommend them!

Comfortable. Pretty color. Be sure to notice that these are ombre. The teal patent leather strip on each webbing strap is lighter on the top of the foot and darker toward the bottom of the foot. The ombre appearance shows in the photos and is not just a trick of the lighting. Vionics, particularly this style, really help my PF.

Love these. Very comfortable and supportive. This is my second pair because love the teal color. Still have the first pair - they are durable.

Love these flip flops. I have plantar fasciitis and used to be crippled wearing flip flops due to lack of support. These are a game changer.

I ordered these to replace the exact same pair that had worn out. They're very comfortable, have terrific arch support and the gold is subtle, but somehow dresses up what would otherwise be an ordinary flip flop. When I first tried this brand years ago, I thought the price was a bit crazy for what it was, but after years of wear and comfort, it's well worth it...so much so that I'm doing it again!

These shoes feel awesome. They're true to size, very light weight, have great arch support, and look great. The patent leather trim on the straps make them less beach-bummy. I tend to wear mostly formal shoes (e.g., designer stilettos) so I appreciate the dressier detailing on these shoes. These are the least flip-floppety flip flops out there.

I really like this sandal. The arch feels a bit higher than in their "Walker" shoe which I have been wearing daily for a few months. This is the only "problem" I have with this sandal - it just takes a little time to adjust to the arch. There is plenty of cush, especially in the heel. I did not find the toe stem to be uncomfortable as someone said in their review. They are quite stylish for flip flops. I generally wear XW width. The width of this shoe just barely fits for me so I am guessing they run a bit wide for a narrow foot. Overall, they still fit well and are sized well. Also love this color.

This is my second pair of Vionic flip flops. I was developing plantar fascitis, and I was told not to continue going barefoot. Vionic was a brand recommended by my doctor. They helped nip the PF in the bud! I will never wear any other flip flop! I usually wear a shoe size of 9 1/2, the size 9 Tide II fit me perfectly. they seem to run a little big.

I have 6 pairs of Tide sandals. For some reason, the straps on this one are looser than any of the others. Hope it's just a fluke, not a redesign. I live in these sandals!

I am a big fan of these flip flops. I feel like I am not ruining my feet by wearing these. I have 6 pair of Tide 2 and this color is spectacular..

I love these sandals! I have worn Vionics almost exclusively during the summer for the past three years! They have great arch support and are so very comfortable. The new colors are fabulous!

My arches are starting to sag and I'm having to rethink my footwear. These flip flops have excellent support and I can wear them all day, super comfortable!

Most comfortable flip flop ever. I need arch support and these have them. Cute, they don't look like old lady shoes. I have several colors. I wear 8.5 or 9. I got 9 and they are perfect.

This is my second pair of Tide IIs. I wore the pair I bought last summer every single day, and they still look like new. I have high arches, wide feet (these only come in medium width, but they are wide enough for me) and suffered from plantar fasciitis for months. I can wear these all day with no pain or discomfort. I love the teal color!

This is my first pair of Vionics and my very flat feet are now very happy. I've been dealing with chronic heel pain due to my Achilles tendon. A walking boot and physical therapy has helped a lot, but I feared that I would end up having to wear only running shoes with my orthotics during the hot Texas summer months. Thankfully I found these wonderful flip flops and now I have no heel pain when wearing these shoes. I have very flat feet and I'm a serious over pronator. When I first put these on they did hurt for the first couple of hours as the arch support felt like a rock in my arch, but now they are totally comfortable. I did buy another Vionic style, but sadly will be sending those back as the arch support wasn't strong enough. Now time to buy another color in the Tide II.

True to size and comfortable. I can tell my arches are more supported when I have them on. They aren't going to take the fashion world by storm, but they are a reasonable, unassuming flip flop with good support.

Fantastic flip-flop! First ordered it in black, but have found the saturated beautiful red so much more fun! Great arch support for someone who uses orthopedics - no need for that at all. Extremely comfortable in comparison to other flip-flops and huge bonus - not sweaty and hot like some of them get with the memory foam footbeds.

I am SO HAPPY to have found these "flip-flops" by VIONIC. After not wearing flip flops for years due to plantar fasciitis pain, these were the answer, with their SUPERB arch support. Because the footbed is textured, and the arch support is so good, I don't need to use my toes to "grip" the front of the sandal. My feet do not slide around in this sandal. The sole has deep texture, so I am not afraid of sliding or falling on a wet floor or around a wet pool deck. I have gotten them soaked from walking in rain, and filthy from working in the yard. After both events, I have just rinsed them under running water, many, many times, and Voila! They look like new! I also highly recommend Vionic's other sandals, particularly the "Lizbeth", SKU 8462618.

I love these and own 4 pairs in different styles. Great support, easy to pack, and walked all over NY in them they were so comfortable.

I have worn Vionic Orthaheel flip-flops and other styles for several years. These are cute, fit just right and perfect for me since I am a RTR fan! Zappos is great to work with.

These sandals are amazing! They really helped with my arches. And they don't look like "old lady" sandals!
