Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

Love these sandals. So comfortable. I wear them all the time. Helps my knee and back pain.

A fabulous coworker introduced these to me after a brief conversation on running, arches and plantar fasciitis. I immediately went online to explore these supposed miracle shoes. I was looking for supportive flip flops that are not terribly ugly or "medical" in appearance. Enter Vionic. The style selection sold me before I even understood the support they provide. I was very pleased about the varying heel heights, the colors, the sporty vs. more everyday designs. And the piece de resistance? The price! I expected $100+ for the everyday flip flop styles given the Orthotic insole and based on other brands I've seen. My coworker raved that they last (she now has three pairs over two years and the original pair is still going strong), that they don't eventually get that gross flip flop foot smell when you know your shoes need to be thrown out and lastly (and most importantly) they really have amazing arch support. I've been walking around in them since UPS dropped off around 5:30 PM yesterday (it's 9:00 AM next day as I write this) and I am very impressed---comfortable, ridiculously supportive and they are pretty cute (for black flip flops!). Thanks, Vionic!

I love these shoes. I have them on all the time as long as it isn't too cold. Extremely comfortable on my feet.

Amazing! I've grown up in flip flops in Florida...but this past year, spin class created tight calves which in turn created Plantar Fasciitis. These are so comfortable...because of so much support, they caused a bit of foot fatigue, but each time I put them on, I feel better and better.

While this is not my favorite shoe with the Orthaheel Technology, it is comfortable. I do not usually have a break-in time for these shoes, but this one needed it. For some unknown reason my left foot had a rough adjustment to the toe strap. I would not have said I had foot problems, but I did see a difference after first starting to wear Othaheels.

These fit very comfortably. They take a little getting used to. The arch is built up and puts your feet into a position that they are not used to, but you know they are doing the job they were meant to do! I wore them a few hours a day at first.

Love them! I have two pairs - black and tan. I have arch support issues and these are so comfortable I can wear them all day, unlike most flip flops. I wear a 6 1/2 and ordered both 6 and 7. The 6 ended up fitting better.

If you've never worn Orthaheels,they do take some getting used to, and you will definitely feel different muscles being used in your legs than when you wear 'regular' shoes. I love them. Love the fresh updated color. I have a wide foot and these fit my foot. Orthaheel shoes are well made...I have had several other pair that have lasted a couple of years so far. Love that Zappos has free shipping both ways in the event that something doesn't work out.

I had plantar fasciitis some time ago and have been wearing Tide sandals ever since my foot got better. I absolutely count on them for their perfect support and comfort. Now they are in an array of great colors and I have bought them all. I wear them all summer and in the house all winter. Love 'em!

I've suffered with severe plantar fasciitis for a few years and thought I was limited to closed shoes with special orthotics until I discovered vionic sandals! I've worn this first pair nonstop (the customary "first timer wear in period" did not apply here as I've worn orthotic inserts in everything for years!) since I received them in early march. They sit by my bed and I put them on the minute I get up. I'm hooked! So hooked I just ordered four more pairs of vionic sandals - I can't believe I can wear cute summer sandals again! Highly recommend them to any PF sufferers! I did follow the advice of other reviewers and ordered smaller. I normally wear a 7.5 so I ordered a 7 and it fits perfectly!

I usually cannot wear a shoe unless there is a lot of arch support. I heard about this brand and thought I would try them out. Wow, these shoes feel wonderful and have great support and padding in the heel area. I am very happy and will be ordering more of this brand in the future.

Love the arch, and even though it was true to size in length it was a little loose. I kept them because I love flip flops and have Plantar Fasciitis.

I decided to try this line after seeing it on a shopping channel. These sandals are extremely comfortable without looking frumpy. I bought them in two colors and will buy more. I wear a 7.5 but sized down to a 7 as recommended and they fit perfectly. Highly recommended.

I had a bad case of planter fascia a couple of years ago. Since then I'm careful about making sure that most of my shoes have support. These flip-flops definitely do and I could walk all day in them. The fact that they're cute on top of all of that is a real bonus.

Love these shoes! Saw them in Health magazine & decided to give them a try. Most flips are flat with no support, but I once bought a super cheap pair at the beach that had great support and have been looking for some similar ever since. These will fit the bill I think. However, they are quite pricey for flips. After the season starts, I'll post another review and let you know if I think it was worth it. I bought the Pewter ones -- love the color!

I have arthritis in my big toe and I am in sneakers with orthotics 90 percent of the time. It has done great things for my feet, but the orthotics will not cut it chasing after my kid at the pool or beach. These are great nice and firm through the arch, with a stable heel cup. And they look totally like a good quality casual thong - neither cheap flip-flop nor clunky orthopedic. These will not cure your foot issues, but they are good sandals.

Great little flip flop for my fallen arch due to P.F. Purchased both the pewter and the gold. Nice wide footbed for my wide foot. Half size, size down.

These are cute and comfortable, and they work perfectly for my plantar fasciitis problem. I normally wear a size 9, but because my feet are narrow, the size 8 worked well.

Good support for a flip flop. I have plantar fasciitis and did not want to be stuck always wearing tennis shoes with orthotics. These are great. They have a lot of support.

Simple, comfortable sandal with definite arch support. True sizing. Not too narrow and not too wide. There is no reason not too like it.

Runs large. I ordered a full size down. Great support for heels and arches. Recommended this shoe to my niece, who works as a hairstylist. She now lives in this shoe.

A friend has these and loves them. I did try them on in a shop and ordered 1 size smaller than I normally wear. They will probably be my go to summer shoes!

They arrived on Thursday; left with them on Friday for a 8 day cruise. I wore them every day. Super comfortable from day one. This is my 3rd pair of Orthaheel shoes.

With spring approaching, I was so disappointed that my plantar fasciitis is flaring up again. I have orthotics to wear inside my shoes, but of course they are not an option for sandals. So glad I gave these a try. It feels like the orthotic insert is built right into the sandal. Great support, and they look like a normal shoe! I am checking out all the other styles available in this brand.

I love these shoes. They feel wonderful and help my back. I would definitely recommend them.
