Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

I own several pairs of Vionic sandals. Very disappointed in these. I found straps to be too big for me. The colors in the straps were way different. It looked like I was wearing two different sandals.

This is my first pair of Vionics (size 8), I usually wear Birkenstocks (size 37). I needed a sandal that was a little less bulky and with arch support/decrease my over pronation. It fulfills the need of a less bulky sandal, gives some arch support, but my ankles still turn into each other. I was also worried about the thong between the toes, because those can be horrible, but these are comfortable.

Just an overall large fit

Unfortunately, the arch support is not as prominent as prior Tide Vionic sandals. Due to feet issues, I need them to be higher and more supportive, like they used to be; therefore, I am returning. The color is cute, and I like the gray footbed. Please make them how you used to, Vionic. They straps are a little wide for me, but I could have dealt with that.

Re: SIZING. The brand, both on Zappos and a shopping network, recommends size down if between sizes. This didn't work for me. I am 7.5, mildly wide. Size 7 was really crammed and hanging over. It looked like the day Kanye wore too small slippers. I am reordering in 8 and will review again in a few days. Right now I am wearing a pair of rather ancient size S7. In past I could wear either S7 or S8. I own both. Keep in mind, an older pair can't directly compare to a new pair. The old ones are squashed from wear. Also, our feet may change a little. I have worn Vionic Tides for years and they are the best for both arch support and for my back. I was feeling nostalgic for my beloved Reefs and ordered three pair. They are fabulous, adorable, well made, and great for the beach. But after a few weeks daily wear my back was not great. A few days back in the old Vionics Tide has made a huge difference.

My third pair. Disappointing this go round. The strap felt loose, and my feet felt as if they weren't held in as nicely. The arch support didn't feel as nice as it does in my old pairs. I tripped in these a LOT, b/c my foot was so loose in these-and ended up scuffing my foot one too many times and the deal that goes between the toes popped out, and there's no way to get it back in. I tried wearing one old one and one new one---and tripped all over the place b/c the new one was SO loose. Ended up throwing it away-huge waste. I got maaaybe two weeks out of them. And now am back wearing my old ones which are like three years old b/c they still fit better and have lasted this long. I'll not be buying these again.

The arch support in this shoe was way too high for me. I was walking sideways so I needed to return them.

Cute shoe but was a full size too big! What a disappointment!

I wanted to like these. I like the way the look and the arch support is everything I hoped it would be. But the toe post was scratchy and uncomfortable between my toes, Unfortunately, I'll need to return these.

This the 2nd pair of the Tide ll I've purchased. The first was a couple years ago. Loved them. I'm sending this new pair back. They are nothing like my first pair. They are cheaply made and very uncomfortable. So disappointed.

These shoes are very wide and I ordered half a size down in medium width. The strap also sits a good 1/8" or more above my foot leaving a huge gap, therefore the shoes slide terribly on my feet. There is no way I can wear these and I don't think sizing down will help as the shoes seem to be meant for wider, thicker feet. I am disappointed because the arch support is great and I love my other Vionics. Must return these.

This style is not flexible or soft. I also ordered two different sizes and neither fit. Normally I can wear a 7 in Vionic sandals but it was too small and the 8 was too large.
