Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I had two issues with these sandals. When I first got them, they had a strong odor, kind of like Magic Markers. That has mostly faded over the weeks. Also, the first time I wore them for an extended period (most of a day with lots of walking) the straps rubbed the tops of my feet raw. Maybe that's why they say to break them in with shorter periods of wear. Otherwise I really like them.

Good shoes for plantar fasciitis relief. First time I wore them all day, the texture on them irritated the bottom of my feet, making things worse. Once stretched out, they got more comfortable.

I really like these shoes! I have to ease into wearing them, but after just a few minutes they are fine, and my knees don't hurt as much. I will be getting another pair.

At first, the arch seems high but you get used to it. The bottom of the sole gets dirty easy with the minimally raised bumps but overall a great very casual sandal. I think the sole will be easy to clean as it's rubber. I would recommend the suede Vionic sandals that are more stylish and go with the Olukai sandals for comfort.

I highly recommend the Vionic shoes for anyone who needs good arch support. I tried two other brands (Spenco and Propet) but their arch support was inferior to Vionic (Orthaheel technology). I have stress fractures in one foot and my podiatrist recommended this brand - and it has made a big difference in my foot pain. The strap between the toe on one shoe was painful. It may have just been that particular shoe, but I was unable to wear it for any length of time.

The best flip flops I have ever owned. Previously, I have used Fit Flops, but they are bulky and clunky. These look contemporary, and not like orthotic shoes. The only concern is that the toe post has been a little hard to break in - it's been a couple of weeks and I'm up to wearing them about 4 hours at a time.

This shoe is too large across the top. I don't want to feel like I have to work that hard to keep the shoe on my foot.

Super cute! I may have to return though. Unfortunately the arch support is a little too "excellent" meaning high for me. In pain after standing in them for 20 minutes. They are comfy otherwise though.

These flip flops are comfortable but they take a little getting used to because of the support (which is what I was looking for). I've been wearing them for relatively short amounts of time so I am not sure how they would feel beyond an hour or two but I think they are much better for my feet than regular flip flops.

Nice sandal. Slightly wider than the orthaheel I bought two years ago that was similar in style which was good for me. I got purple and it's a pretty rich color.

I'm so excited that I can wear flip flops again. I need an orthotic for my shoes and they never fit in sandals. This works pretty well for arch support, though I do find that after several hours walking around in them makes my shins ache, which to me suggests the support is not quite right for my foot, specifically. I imagine if someone wanted arch support and didn't have the horrendous foot problems I have these would be perfect shoes!

I have super high arches and a lot of foot pain, so the arch support in the Vionic is perfect. They feel good at the end of the day after wearing "bad" shoes. I just wish they fit a little more snugly around the top of the foot and had a bit more cushion, the way the Olukai Ohanas fit.

Love these sandals but they started to rub between my toes right away while I was trying them out. Great support & good quality so wished they didn't bother my toes!

These flip flops have the great arch support that I buy Orthaheels for since I have flat feet and wear orthotics. However, they run wide as do all the Vionic and Orthaheel and I always buy a size smaller. I wish they would make their shoes less wide.

Arch too exaggerated, unfortunately, so I am sliding sideways out of the shoe. Too bad. A little less of an arch support, and this flip flop would have been perfect. Material between toes was comfortable. Wider fit is good for my foot. 1/2 size down from my size was also just right. Looks really nice in the black patent leather version. Sending this back with great regrets due to the very high arch.

The Vionic Tide II is the new model of this version of sandal. I wish i could buy last years model. This models has a plastic detail sewn in that digs into the top of my feet and actually caused blisters. This is just a problem with the aesthetic design. I took nail clippers and trimmed off the edges of the plastic detail to help with the blisters. Overall, the shoes are wonderfully made and do help with pain. I've suffered from planter fasciitis for a couple years, and recently developed a heel spur. These sandals are comfortable and definitely help with my foot pain. I plan to buy more colors soon.

My heel comes to the correct spot near the end; however, the arch feels too far forward and if I wear these shoes too long it actually hurts the middle of my foot. Having said that, however, this is my house-shoe / get-the-mail-shoe / run-to-the-corner-store-shoe and my arch never aches at the end of the day. It truly sets my foot in the correct position. I just wish the arch weren't so very far forward.

These are fantastic. I wear size 12 and have a hard time finding flip flops that fit, are cute and look like they're for a woman. These are soft and aren't too heavy. They have a lot of arch support. I don't need the arch support, so that took a day to get used to. Overall, I could not be happier with how they fit and look.

These are very comfortable! I think they will last, too. I would say they run a bit big. I wear an 8½ or 9 and the 9 was way too big, but the 8 fits perfectly.

These sandals were bought for a gift at Christmas, and my daughter likes them very much. She has worn the Vionic brand and they suit her very much.

I have a wide foot but you don't have many styles to choose from, in fact you had only 2 choices and one was a sneaker. I need the arch support and I love your shoes but because of the widths I can't buy any.

I love Vionics. They’ve fixed my foot pain. I’ve had multiple pairs, including these flip flops. They’ve all lasted a long time, until this last pair, which last 6-7 weeks. Because I love them so much, I will continue buying them but I’m bummed with the short life of this last pair. That’s the only reason for less than 5 stars.

I'm size 9, medium width with high arch; Vionic are my go-tos. This one has nice arch support, simple clean design, and snug yet comfy fit. Unfortunately lacks heel support.

I have high arch / plantar fasciitis; Vionic sandals are my go-tos. This one has nice arch support & simple clean design; but lacks heel support. Too bad.

I love the support of these flip flops but downgraded the rating due to the sole coming apart from the footbed (the glue that bound the two pieces "gave out") about 4 years in. For the price - the durability should be longer it seems. We live in MN and only visit extreme heat places like AZ once in a while - so it's not due to using the flip flops in extreme heat for prolonged periods. I super glued the sole back together a couple of times but after a while I finally threw them away. I'll be looking for another flip flop brand to replace.
