Customer Reviews VIONIC Bella II

I had high hopes for these, as I love to wear flip-flops. I have been having some issues with possible plantar/tarsal fasciitis and was told more supportive shoes would help. I was trying to plan ahead for the spring and summer. While the bottom of the shoe is very supportive, the sandal itself runs extremely wide--as in the strap has too much slack so the sandal flops around my foot. It might not have been such a problem if the sole were not so heavy. The extra weight of the sole coupled with the excess room under the strap makes these not suitable for my feet. While I do have narrow feet, I usually wear 11M with no problems. I must sadly return these.

These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn. I am able to teach all day in them and my feet are so happy at the end of the day.

I have three pairs of the Bella II. I bought them because they are dresser than the Tide sandal. I enjoy Tides also but with the Bella II I feel that the snazzy bow and shiny leather makes them dressy enough to wear out to dinner or parties in warm weather. I take them to Hawaii and they are perfect for dining out. The strap does feel different than the Tide sandal but after walking a short time I didn't even notice. With pretty painted toe nails, these sandals are my new favorite summer shoe. I hope they keep the style for years.

Fab pair of sandals. I bought them because they are cute, but I really saw their value during my recovery from a MRSA infection in my toes. These shoes redistribute the foot's weight so that very little pressure is on the toes. My friend who tire a heel tendon bought six pairs of Vionics because of this redistribution of weight. In her case these shoes worked because they straightened her leg as well. Do not give up if for the first couple of days your feet or lower legs ache a bit. That soon passes and you are left with a dream shoe and comfortable walking and standing. Oh, and did I mention...so cute!

I probably own a dozen orthaheel styles and this by far ranks as one of the best. Width is a little wider than others, almost as wide as the wave style but not as long. If between sizes order up. The footbed is also more durable than the fake wood construction of others-it won't nick. The red is more of a coral/hot pink. I've found it really versatile. It's like a chameleon, blending perfectly with my red, fuchsia, and coral outfits.

Very cute, got many compliments. Most importantly, they are extremely comfortable! I wear a size 9 -- 91/2 normally, but in these the 8 is perfect.

This is the most comfortable pair of flip-flops I have ever put on my feet! This version is a little dressier than the Tide model, which is why I bought it. This is my third pair of Vionics and I intend to keep purchasing more. The arch support and heel cup make all the difference in the world!

Love these sandals! Very comfy to wear all day. Very pretty blue. Would recommend to anyone looking for a well made, supportive, comfortable sandal. Zappos offers free shipping and purchases arrive within a couple of days which is better than other companies I have ordered from.

First let me say I wanted these shoes and tried to get them from every store in town but couldn't find them. They said it might be out of stock because they are not making that style or color any longer. Someone suggested Zappos and sure enough they had them. It's an excellent shoe, comfortable, and not too expensive. They arrived within a couple of days and in perfect new condition. I will save myself a lot of trouble next time and check Zappos first!

After months of dealing with pain from plantar fasciitis, I came to the humbling conclusion that I would have to break down and buy some orthopedic shoes...you know the dreaded grandma kind, lots of thick straps, Velcro, and thick soles. Imagine my surprise to find these cute flip flops! Because my foot is wide and I have a very high arch, I went a size larger 8 to a 9. I wore them a few hours at a time to get used to the firm arch support and now, I wear them all the time, I will even put them on instead of slippers when I get out of bed in the morning. No more heel pain! The pressure has been relieved from the ball and heel of my foot and more evenly distributed. I can shop in them for hours and I have been asked over and over where I got my cute shoes. I've purchased another pair!

Love, love, love this sandal. Cute and fun. Great all around support but especially the arch. Keeps my plantar faciitis from creeping back in. Definitely pricey but your feet will never hurt again!

I end up buying (over time) all 3 colors! I love them, because in the summer I only ever wear flip flops . I live in them! Yes! I do highly recommend them. The arch is higher than I'm use to, but the support for the arch as well as the leg muscles, It really gives your legs the right kind of support they need.

I have these sandals in the pewter and the gold. Normally in shoes I buy size 9 narrow or slim. I can make due with these sandals in size 8 and they are comfortable. I believe I have 15 pairs of their sandals now and wear them daily. I am a small person and on my feet most of my waking hours working as a hairstylist and on my feet working at home. I even have Tide II that I put on once I arrive home for the night. I wish that they would make narrow sandals and also dressier, sexier ones. I have had to send different styles back as too wide but these work well for me. In all of their sandals I order size 8 even though in the stores I buy size 9. They run longer than ordinary size 9.

Fit beautifully and very comfortable. I wanted red sandals but this red is more like a coral or orange. I am returning them.

These shoes are so comfortable!! I need arch support and it's about time they sell cute summer sandals that still support! Worth the price.

I love Vionic sandals! I can wear them all day and no hip, knee, or back pain! Now I want to get some dress shoes! The styles are up to date and very attractive.

I've been wearing the Orthoheel sneakers for years, and I wear the sandals all summer. I've broken my ankles five times (eight surgeries), and these shoes have made all the difference for me. The support they offer is amazing, and they are the only shoes out there that keep me from having pain.

These shoes are so cute and so comfortable, two things that don't usually go together! I didn't think I would be able to wear flip flops for any length of time again but I am able to wear them for 8+ hours!

I love these shoes. Great arch support. Can stand and walk forever without my back or knees hurting.

Most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. This is my second pair and I absolutely love them. The arch support is incredible! I was a big fan of Yellow Box sandals until I discovered the Vionic brand. I wear them almost every day - great "shopping" shoes - can walk all day in them and feet great at end of day. Absolutely love them and plan on getting another pair soon!

Great Orthaheels support in a dressy little flip-flop style. Yes, I wore them for my daughter's wedding!

Overall I'm very happy with these sandals. They provide great arch support for flip flops, which is hard to find. I ordered my regular size & they fit fine. The ends of the bows do brush against your toes sometimes, but it doesn't really bother me. I like that my feet don't seem to slide around on the footbed in these as much as they do in some other Vionic styles. I'd buy them again.

Aah! I just recently figured out that I have reached the age where arch support is a necessity, not just a good idea. I hated the thought of no more cute summer sandals, especially since I have a tropical vacation coming up. I searched for sandals with support, found these, and took a chance. I'm glad I did. After a day of walking, my feet feel fine, without heel pain or arches of fire. I'm not completely sold on the little bow on this style, but they look nice and feel better!

These are the first shoes I purchased after developing PF. They fit nicely and look better than a lot of the orthopedic sandals. They are very comfortable and my feet feel good in them.

Easy to navigate through order process; fast delivery; easy return. Will definitely continue to order from Zappos.
