Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I chose these because I have always worn Chaco's and I heard they compared to Chacos in support. Chaco's stopped carrying dressy flip-flops so I was looking for a different brand. Overall it was a good choice. The arch support is very similar and they are very cute. The strap between the toes is not as comfortable as Chaco but I can get used to it. Very cute shoes for flip-flops. They seem to run small. I ordered my size but they are not any too big. Don't undersize when you order.

These were good as far as flip flops go. Not as much support as other Vionic shoes that have more straps. My foot didn't feel as secure, but it wasn't horrible. I could wear them for several hours. If you want a flip flop that won't hurt your feet, this one is a good one.

Vionic has continued to be a good choice for my problem feet. They support my arches and I am less tired at the end of the day. I am a person who walks a lot and I am not so young anymore so I need all the support I can get.

The item was "OK." However, it began to split at the top after several months. The arch is better than most flip flops. But in reading the reviews, it sounds like the brand Orthaheels was much better (although it is apparently no longer available). For aging boomers with feet problems, or for those trying to AVOID them, you would think designers would target this market with some attractive, high quality, foot-friendly shoes. This looks like a business oppty in the making for the shoe industry. I'm no longer wearing Prada, I'm looking for attractive shoes that don't hurt and help support podiatry issues.

I am a 7 1/2, slightly wide, and the "old" Vionic Tide size 8 were a great fit with fab arch support. So the hard footbed was an OK trade off. The current Vionic 8 is too big and loose and looks it. The 7 is too small and my foot looks stuffed and hangs over side. The arch support seems slightly different, still good though. It's worth it to try it and check your fit. It's still a great flip flop, sadly not for me.

This is my 2nd pair. My first pair were the Ortho heel brand and lasted over 10 years. They were more narrow and for better, these are too wide and sloppy on my feet

I share the same opinion as other costumers regarding that this model Tide, by Vionic is not as confortable as the one made by Orthaheel. The feeling when wear it, its not the same, it does not feel soft. But still I just cant live without them so I bought another pair. Now I have 2 by Vionic but still have my old ones by Orthaheel. They have been with me for a looong time.

The Vionic Tide II is your basic flip flop with excellent arch support. In fact, once you start wearing them, you won’t care much for the feel of an ordinary pair of flip flops. However, they run large in length (be sure it go down a size), don’t come in half sizes, and have only one width. I wear a 10.5 N normally (when I can find that size!) so I purchased the 10. The length was fine, but it is wide for me. Anyone who has a narrow foot knows you can get away with a medium width in a flip flop. But with the Vionics and all that arch support, your foot is kind of sliding around. It looks clunky on a narrow foot, too. I kept the shoes reluctantly since they’re expensive. And I will just use them around the house and pool. They’re not the least bit flattering.

I was told by my podiatrist to get these shoes for their arch support. Holy smokes there is so much arch support that it takes some getting used to!!!! I have to say they have helped with my plantar fasciitis though, which was the goal!!!!!! The reason I gave them a 3 star for comfort is the reason stated above. They are a very firm shoe. I just had to get used to them!

Different from other Tide II....uncomfortable

The strap was a little snug, but not too bad. Great flip flop if you want to wear flip flops & not have your feet killing you by the end of the day. I have achilles tendonitis & I absolutely cannot wear flat shoes, especially flip flops. I can however wear these for several hours. Worth the money.

I developed PF all of a sudden last month. I was looking for flip flops I would be able to wear for the summer. I came across quite a few recommendations for the Vionic Tide II. I am not disappointed in the least. I have had little or no pain when I wear these around for most of the day. They have great arch support, which is good for my flat feet. I usually wear a 10.5 to 11, sometimes I wear a wide. I bought these in a 10 and they fit perfect. Sometimes I can wear a 9 in flip flops, but because of the arch in these I needed to stick with the 10 so the foot bed would be correctly aligned. The biggest drawback I think, is that they are a bit heavy. I bought the black and the black floral. The black floral is VERY nice and goes well with a lot.

These sandals were recommended by my chiropractor because their design is better for you than most flip flops. After wearing them, I could tell a difference. I had less ankle and low back pain. I wish they were a bit more stylish.

Had to order 1/2 size larger than normal. Arch support was a bit too much for my comfort. Otherwise, very stylish.

I’m no girly girl so the simple style was perfect, flattering without sparkles or flowers. I was pleasantly surprised by the obvious arch support when I put them on.

These shoes looked great, I loved the look but there was something wrong with the thong. I sent them back.
