Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

They seem to run a little big, but overall they are great. I love the foot support and so do my feet.

These are very comfortable sandals. These work well for me since I can not wear my orthotics in any sandals. I have very wide feet. These probably run wide because they fit me perfectly. The material reminds me of plastic Crocs flip-flops with better arch support. They are not fancy, just comfortable. I tried two of the nicer styles but returned them because they did not fit well.

I have a pair of true Orthaheel flip flops and can't find them any longer, so I went with the Vionic Tide II. They are very similar to the Orthaheel pair and quite comfortable. I think they are a little bigger, or longer, than usual but I don't have trouble keeping them on my feet. My only slight complaint is that the piece that fits between my toes rubs a bit and is not as comfortable as the true Orthaheel.

These are stiffer and less comfortable than my previous Vionics, however the arch support is excellent. Hoping they soften with wear.

I purchased these shoes because of recommendation from a podiatrist for arch support (sadly, I am no longer allowed to wander around barefoot so this is a compromise). I agree that the suggestion to order a half size smaller than your usual size is probably accurate. If I had gone up half a size, I think they would have been too long and I would trip on them. The only issue I have had with these (which is going away) is that the strap across the top of one of my feet rubbed a sore in one area. However, that seems to be resolving itself.

Good flip flop. It took some getting used to the arch support, I am guessing, because the foot bed is firm and not as soft and squishy as my other flip flops. Plus I really don't care for the textured feel in the foot bed even though it is subtle. I prefer smooth. Having said all that I did keep them because they do support and don't make my feet tired as do other flip flops.

I have very flat feet with collapsed arches plus a bad case of plantar fasciitis which has lasted almost a year. The arch support in these sandals is perfect! I prefer a very firm arch, and these support my feet very well while also giving a little bit of cushion in the heel. In fact, after wearing these daily for a week while on a cruise (and walking nearly 4 miles each day around the ship and in port) my plantar fasciitis was cured! A couple of things to note- The straps dug into the tops of my feet at first leaving uncomfortable red marks. This resolved after a day or so. These aren't as cute as I had hoped, but plenty attractive for an orthopedic sandal. I normally wear a 7.5-8 in dress shoes (8.5 in running shoes), but I chose the 7 in this sandal. The straps are a bit more snug, but I feel that gives good support. My heel isn't falling off the back of the sandal at all.

I bought a tide sequins version of this in a local store. Was pretty skeptical at first, the arch support is an adjustment, and I have lived in Birkenstocks (which alleviated my PF pain completely) the last few summers. But I wanted something with some cushion, and something I could get wet. So I have been living in my Vionic's that I purchased about 3 weeks ago, and I love them! I love them so much that I ordered another pair, this time just the plain Tide, no sequins, nothing fancy, just good old take camping get em wet in the river flip flops. For size reference, I normally wear an 8.5 in Nike and Adidas running shoes, and always wear a 38 in Birkenstocks. I don't appear to have wide feet, but I have returned some Allegria sandals and Ahnu hiking boots because they were just too narrow for my foot. If you have a narrow foot, these Vionic's might be a little sloppy in the strap area.

I now own 3 pair of Vionic shoes and I love them all. I have 2 pairs of Tide in different colors and one pair of Floriana. My feet tend to get hot in the Tide sandals but I still love them for comfort.

The shoe was nice overall, but the right foot seemed to have a defect and the the toe divider was very tight and crooked. I am going to be exchanging them and hoping that the new pair is better.

These are great slippers. They have a good arch and do not require much breaking in. They are very comfortable.

I have 3 pair of these flip flops. The original ones I had - before they were called "Vionic" had a better arch support - and were better for my heel. The new ones are still better than normal flip flops - but would love to see the original design return!

I bought theses sandals as I am tired of wearing my tennis shoes with inserts day in and day out. Especially since it's been way too hot. I've dealt with plantar fasciitis in my right foot since April. Some days are better than others, but for the most part I still have it. I have another pair of slide on Orthaheels with a velcro back that I wear occasionally. I need to get use to the high arch. Planning to wear these more often to see if it helps. So far just been wearing the sandal around the house to break it in. Orthaheel sandals were recommended by a friend, so I thought I'd give them a try. Hoping they help as I know my regular flip-flops have no arch support and aren't good for me. I was worried ordering a size down, but there is enough room about 1/4-1/2 inch in back.

The arch is too high for my foot, but otherwise it is super comfortable. I need a more moderate support.

The shoes were a present and she really enjoys them. They are comfortable and I am thinking of getting myself a pair. I had an issue with shipping but otherwise, they are excellent.

I was hesitant to get these because of other reviews saying how Orthaheel changed the style. My first pair from 2 years ago were perfect! This pair also fits really well. Yes, the fit and style have changed slightly but I also love this pair. When comparing my old and new pairs side by side, the new ones seem more narrow but the arch supports feels very similar and they are still comfortable.

Great for anyone with plantar fasciitis. I have a very high arch and was having trouble finding any shoes that had a high enough arch support to meet my foot. These fit the bill perfectly. They're very wide for my somewhat narrow foot but I don't mind if they'll help heal my plantar fasciitis.

They feel great on your arch. A little tight on top part of strap that rubs for a while until you break them in. Great for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis.

This is my 7th pair of Orthoheel sandals, so obviously, I like them. They are terrific if you are having any problem with sore or aching heels. I will have to say that my last 2 pair were purchased after Orthoheel became Vionic, and the quality has definitely declined. The materials and construction are cheaper--but they still have the great support for the heel.

I like these shoes - the sole is super comfortable. They are the only pair of flip flops I've had that I can wear all day with total support and comfort. I wear a size 8 100% of the time and these fit but barley. There is no room on either end. Furthermore, the strap is very tight (and I don't have wide feet or high arch). It has stretched out after 3 to 4 wearings and they are fine now. It was just odd that they'd run a bit small. If anything, I thought they'd run big based on other pairs of shoes by Vionic. I'd recommend them...just a heads up - maybe order a size up or don't order if you have wide feet or high arch.

Nice summer flip flop if you want a nice support but like the look of a slim flip flop these are for you! I would have given it a 5 star but for me they were a little loose on top. I normally wear an 8 1/2 but had to go to a size 9 to fit. This could be why? I have a normal width foot. It was not too loose, so I am keeping. I just would prefer a little snugger around the top of my foot.

This looks like a terrific sandal for someone with high arches. It didn't work for me. I was looking for arch support but not that much. Otherwise, it is a very well made shoe.

Love the Stylish versatility and Super arch support of this sandal I wear every for every occasion! Size 7 is a tad long, yet arch support is perfectly centered for my feet. Greatest disappointments...heel bed isn't higher compared to ball of foot bed and foot bed has "stinky feet" odor after wearing outdoors in heat, the 1st of which influenced my not purchasing other styles of Vionic sandals. Other reviews were invaluable in my research of primarily high arch support sandals. Thank you, Orthaheel therapy makers and reviewers!

First of all, I have plantar fasciitis & this seems to be helping! I am size 7.5 with narrow feet. I ordered a 7 and and 8 and am keeping the 7, so fit is according to advice to order down. With a wider foot, this might not be the case. The color is more beige than gold--appears khaki almost--but I didn't want bright shiny gold, so that's ok. The arch support is "aggressive" according to my podiatrist. I have a high arch and I feel it. It's a little hard to get used to, but I've had the shoe on all day today and my heel does not hurt!!! That's very good news. I don't know if the arch support would bother someone with a flat foot. The toe thong could be a little thinner, flatter--it's round, but not hurting. The strap is lined with fabric--not super soft, but ok. The sole with which your foot is in contact is rubber (or similar), so my feet feel warm on this 95 degree day. It's not like a soft suede. But, I really want these to wear to pool and beach, so this is what I wanted. Flat flip flops were not working for me. So, I'm pleased with the choice.

Some reviews for Vionic said this brand runs large - I say the length runs true to size. However, these flip flops are too wide/roomy and I can't keep them on my feet. It is too bad since I love the arch support.
