Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide II

First pair of Vionic shoes....must say it is quite different. Feel like it causes my feet to roll outwards with more pressure on the outside part of my foot. Not sure I would purchase another pair.

I wanted to love this style, but just can't. The Tide Sequin base fits much better (almost no adjustment period, too); this style has never quite felt right in the arch. The shoes are cute - but they must go back unfortunately. I wear 11.5/12, and 11 in the flip flop styles is perfect. These are slightly wider and should accommodate regular and wide width as noted.

I love, love Vionic but this shoe is short.

I was hoping these would fit since they have orthopedic support, but like most things, they run too wide for my narrow foot.

I have purchased almost every color of the original Orthoheel Tide. I wear them constantly, indoors and out! Recently, I've had to replace some worn pairs, and purchased the new Vionic brand of what was Orthoheel. I was disappointed in the new brand. The arch support seems much less, and the materials the sandals are made of is much stiffer, making it much less comfortable for wearing long periods of time. The sizing also seems off from the original Orthoheel. The Vionics are looser in width, so your foot seems to slide around. All in all, they're just an ok buy. Vionics shouldn't have altered a great product!

I'm joining the ranks of those who say they used to love Tide until Vionic changed them. I just received a new pair but I'm sending them back. My old Tides feel like they're made for my foot and I can't wait to put them on when I get home from work. The new Tide soles are harder and the arch support is more of a hard (but smaller than before) lump. I'm going to order the men's Tide - the men's version has the same sole as my old Tides, so maybe it's the same footbed. Too bad they only come in black and brown.

I wanted to love these and use them for my trip to a few theme parks in Orlando, Florida. Unfortunately I am very flat footed and need something with a slight arch support. My feet are also narrow and I'm almost always a size 8.5, so I felt size-wise these were a perfect fit. The thong seemed comfortable and the overall weight of these were nice as well. However, I could tell just from standing in them for a few minutes that if I were to wear these all day my practically non-existent arches would be in an enormous amount of pain. Would be a great sandal for someone with a good arch, but for anyone that is flat-footed like me I wouldn't recommend these.

The arch support in these aren't as good as some of Vionic's other flip flops.

This is the second time I have bought these Vionics.To be honest they are not so amazing as Vionics are reputed to be.The natural alignment is not anywhere near as pronounced as is pictured . They are certainly not as flat as a regular flip flop, but on my foot the way the arch is built up makes the bone at the base of the second toe have a blister.Both times it happened , however after the callous forms there are no problems. The first pair lasted almost a year.

This is my fourth pair of VIONIC Tide II. I never had the original Orthaheel label shoes that so many other reviewers have suggested, but I can't imagine shoes being more comfortable than these. I have hard tile floors throughout my new home, and these shoes have saved my feet for the past three years. The pewter metallic color is pretty and goes well with denim, blue, and gray clothing and with silver accessories. I normally wear size 8 but need size 7 in this style.

Sadly, the straps on the Tide II sandals are too tight for me. I did try going up a size but it was still pretty snug. I own 3 other pairs of Vionic thong sandals (all different styles), and on those, the straps fit fine on my wide foot. I love the Gold Cork color, I hope Vionic will make more styles in this color in Size 5!

My last pair of these sandals fit perfectly. The strap on this pair is way too loose across the top of my foot.

Like many other reviewers, I too have purchased many Orthaheel flip flops and LOVED THEM. Unfortunately, our new puppy loved them too as he chewed the left shoe of my indoor flip flops. Urgently ordered another pair through Zappos (love Zappos!), however, the Vionic flip flops are NOT the same as the original Orthaheel. The height of the arch is definitely lower. Why did Vionic mess with a good thing?!@#

These shoes should come with a recommendation to only be used by people with very high arches. I bought them for support, and there is a considerable bump in the arch/ball of the foot area. They felt great for a couple months, and I loved the comfortable support, but then I developed constant aching in the balls of my feet, almost like they were bruised.It got to be so bad, I could barely walk. I went to my doctor, and she suggested it was the shoes. After not wearing them for 2 weeks, the pain subsided. Very comfortable at first, but beware of pain later.

I have Plantar Fasciitis and my podiatrist said that he recommended Vionic flip flops if you must wear a flip flop, and I must!, so I gave these a shot. I'm technically a size 10.5 wide, and that size is so hard to find, so I got this in 11 medium. So it's just a bit long for me, but not bad. But I definitely need a wider shoe- there are other Vionic medium widths that fit my foot, but these dug into the top of my foot too much, but that could be because I have high arches too. I love the color of these and you can definitely dress them up or down, plus the arch support is so, so good- however, they're a very heavy shoe- especially in the heel. I feel like my feet get tired just from wearing them. I'm going to try another style of Vionic flip flops- I know my perfect shoe is out there and I'll find it!

I absolutely love all my Vionic shoes and sandals. I thought I would treat myself to a new pair. I am sending these back because they started squeaking. The more I wore them around the house, the more they squeaked. I am so bummed. I contacted Vionic and they admitted they have changed the way they are manufactured. Also, the arch doesn't seem as high to me as the older ones. I am so bummed out they messed with a good thing.

The sandal is very nice looking and supportive. The complaint I have is that the left sandal is larger then the right one and it slips from my foot when walking. Because of this non-fit, I need to return them.

im borderline regular-wide. review to size down was accurate i'm 8.5 the 8 perfect except too narrow :( i can tell the shape/form would def help my foot problem ... too bad.

Flip flops are supposed to comfortable - these gave me a blister within 15 minutes of wearing them. I think they are a little narrow.

The footbed is a nice mix of firm support and cushioning and they appear to be well made for flip flops. Unfortunately, the arch support is much to high for my low-ish arches--so much so that it feels like my forefoot doesn't full rest on the ground. Tried them around the house a few times but this isn't something my feet will be able to adjust to.

The New Tide II, Vionic remake of the original Orthaheel doesn't provide as much arch support and stability. They don't feel as snug to my foot as the Original. I have already walked outside in them and will keep them, but I do wish they were made just like the original Orthaheel with the more pronounced arch. Side note- There were some shipping issues with my order, but as usual Zappos handled perfectly and promptly.

I love this dark teal color. I've lost track of how many of the Tide & Tide II I own, starting with my first pairs that were Orthaheel. I do have very, very sensitive feet, but this is the first pair that really cuts into my 2nd toes. The softest pair I own are the Rhinestone style (unltrasuede?), so I believe the materials used had something to do with my problems. Donated them, sadly.

This is my first pair of Vionics and I am not a fan at all. I find the arch support affects my knees and legs causing my knees to hurt worse. I also find them to run wide for me. I should have returned as soon as I tried them on but wore around the house thinking maybe they would mold to my feet. Wrong! Money wasted. Not Zappos fault...mine!

I've had a pair of sandals for a couple of years. I hardly wore them and yesterday the toe piece pulled out. These are like flip flops with the orthaheeal technology. I called to see about repair, not only do they not warranty beyond 6 months, they don't even do repairs on their product. Compare to LLBean with a life time warranty and it is no contest.

It fits and looks like a sandal and not an orthopedic shoe. Unfortunately after wearing it around the house, it aggravated my foot condition and I'll be returning all of the shoes I ordered.
