Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I've worn Orthaheel Tide II flip flops for years and have 8 different colors. They've been very comfortable especially with my high arch. I can wear them all day and they still feel great at the end of it. I've always taken very good care of my shoes but my Navy ones have been my 'go to' and most frequently worn and have finally have almost worn out. So I ordered the now 'Vionic' Navy Tide II and am so disappointed! The footbed fit is not nearly as comfortable as the Orthaheels and the Navy ones have what appears to be black patent leather very wide decorative strips with a big rectangular block in the center at the toe post. Why in the world would you put black decoration on Navy Tides?? If I had wanted black I would have ordered the black shoes! One would think the Navy color would come with matching Navy trim as they always did. And why was it necessary to put that huge rectangular block in the center of the trim? The old style in my opinion looked much better. I also didn't see anything in the description indicating the trim was black but maybe I missed that. In any case even though the company name has changed they've also changed the two most important qualities of the original Tide shoe...the comfortable footbed and the matching and much less obtrusive trim. These are going back and I REALLY hope the rest of my Orthaheels last a long long time!

What happened to all the colors these used to come in? Yes I want black and white. But I also want back the blues and reds and the others. What happened?!

I guess I have have a narrow top to bottom foot. I thought the show was cute the footbed and arch support comfortable but ultimately the straps around my feet where just too loose so I kept scrunching my toes to hold the shoe in place instead of allowing the shoe to hug the top of my foot. Alas they went back but liked that there is a 30 day return!

I bought this shoe last year & there's only one problem that I've had with it- the toe post is set too far back. What could've been a fantastic shoe for me wasn't because the toe post causes my foot to be slightly out of position. I still wear them but always with slight discomfort. Guess I need longer toes!

These are very pretty however very STIFF to walk in. This is the first problem I ever have had with all my vionic shoes.

The webbed fabric post on these rubbed my second toe raw even with limiting wear at first and giving it a rest and trying again. The arch support was terrific so I wish these would have worked out. Unfortunately I couldn't find any Vionic sandals with a smooth toe post instead of the webbed fabric. I'm thankful for the 30 day wear return policy.

I bought the TIDE ll in size 8 my normal size. It is too long in length but I keep them and now after wearing them for a couple months the straps are so loose they dangle on my feet. I checked the size chart and the 8 is supposed to measure 9.6" but my TIDE II measure 10.6". What gives?

The Tide II Rhinestones in black: The rhinestones fall off.

I ordered these sandals on May 4th haven't had them a month yet and the sole came apart. I was extremely disappointed. They were comfortable to wear but the sole came apart. I would like a replacement please.
