Customer Reviews VIONIC Bella II

I love vionic shoes/sandals, but this item has raised "bumps" in the footbed, which felt a little bit uncomfortable, so I am returning these sandals.

Cute shoe but Vionic is not for anyone with lower back pain and hip problems.

These shoes looked fantastic out of the box I was so excited to get them on my feet. I have a few other pairs of vionic scandals and I have worn them out! Unfortunately Vionic decided to improve as all companies do on the shoe by putting a softer velourish type sole on the sole which I hate! My feel slide all over the place while walking and they absolutely ruined the comfort by doing this! sorry but I will return them and try to find a pair that do not have that soft fabric foot bed.

The wide width fit my Fred Flintstone feet perfectly and the style is cute, but the straps are also thinner than the Tide so they seem to make my wide feet look even bigger. Also there is not nearly the arch support that I get with the Tide II style. The foot bed has a felt like covering rather than being rubber so it starts to rub the balls of my feel and makes them hurt if I wear them for a long time or try to walk quickly in them. Overall they are okay, but I much prefer the Tide style.

I ordered the Bella II based upon style and a need for arch support. Based upon the reviews I read, I ordered a 1/2 size down but the size 7 was too small so I ordered a size 8. To my delight, the style and fit is great for me. However, I noticed that the foot print is darkened (can see the outline of toes and ball of foot)and there was no styrofoam wrap around the toe or label around the strap as there had been with the size 7 when it arrived. I can only surmise that the size 8 was worn by someone (not just tried on, but worn) and returned by someone so I will return the size 8 for that reason.

I read all the reviews here and at other sites, with more positive than negative so I took a chance and ordered this shoe and the Tide. The look was okay for me but I was looking for a nice fit since I have a fallen arch and tendon problems when walking. I really wanted this shoe to work. but the toe strap was hard, just uncomfortable and the shoe pulled or twisted to the side when I stepped. I reordered a size up and a wide, but still not at all comfortable and I got the pull and twist. I don't have a wide foot but thought I would try to see if I could some how make these shoes work. Sad to say I returned them and the Tide.

The sandal is really supportive, but the thin straps I found to be too tight and uncomfortable. Maybe if the straps were a bit thicker it would have been more comfortable. I also found the bow really annoying with the ends of the bow constantly hitting my toes when I walked around. Sadly I'll have to return these.

I wanted to like these. They felt supportive, but the leather straps were uncomfortable for me and there was too much wiggle room between my foot and the strap that was to hold the shoe in place.

I been experiencing gradually worsening plantar fasciitis for the past two years. I finally decided to buy shoes made specifically for foot problems, however as a newly married woman in her mid thirties I've been very disappointed in the "orthepedic" look of many "comfortable" shoes and refused to buy them. I was excited to find this brand and order this particular sandal. Here are the pros: -Extremely cute color (coral) and look from the front with little gold embellishments on the bows. The heel cup is comfortable and the suede doesn't rub. The cons: A slightly wide look overall and the black on the bottom makes this flip flop more sporty than I would like. The heel arch is like walking on stones and too high for my feet! -The straps sort of dig into the tops of my feet and I can only imagine that they would be painful if I wore them for a day, especially if my feet were a little swollen that day which happens from time to time. Judging from the reviews I really wanted to love this flip flop, but it has to go back. Cute but not for my feet!

The toe post on the left shoe was a few millimeters shorter causing the straps to cut into my foot and my foot to sit poorly on the shoe. There are really cute, have great traction, and I really wanted to keep them, alas.

Even though I own 3 pairs of Orthaheel flip flops and sandals, as cute as these brown ones are, they're going back to Zappos. I wear a size 8, but find "these" running small. Could it be because they are now Vionic? When I held them up to my other Orthaheel sandals, yep! They were definitely smaller! And the padding on the footbed at the big toe is annoying. They also seem to be more narrow. I'll be looking for new sandals that are Orthaheel only. May be hard to find now that Vionic is Orthaheel's new name. But I'll try.

This is a very cute shoe but it is loose. All the Vionics have fantastic arch support and are so comfortable; however, the flip flops are too loose and don't stay on my feet. I'll keep trying because Orthaheel/Vionic are so comfortable.

I wanted to love these, I really, really did, but the blisters on the top of my feet where the straps rubbed tell the tale. This wasn't even after a lot of walking. I have an office job and I wore them to work. Because I'm a masochist, I wore them a second day (I'm having a hard time understanding this, myself) I originally bought these to think about wearing them as a "comfortable" wedding shoe, I'm glad I didn't wait to wear them until that day, I would go barefoot for sure. Since I wore them out I won't be able to return them, unfortunately. `

I was hoping for a replacement for last year's shoe which I have almost worn out--the same style, but with a flower. This one is not it, seemed to run a tiny bit smaller, and the metal tabs on the end of the bow are annoying and hot or cold...bad style choice!

Wanted to love these... however, the red is more of a salmon/coral. And they're small. The shoe was comfortable across the straps, but it seemed the were the length of a 9.5 (I ordered a 10) and narrow across the ball of the foot. The arch support was wonderful, though! So wish I could keep them, but unfortunately have to return these. If you're on the smaller side of your size, you're going to LOVE them!

I have many pairs of Vionic flats, sandals and flip flops. I always wear a 6 1/2 Medium. The 6 1/2 that I ordered felt big and wide. Returning them!

Strap was way to loose on me unfortunately. I thought they were cute and the bottoms seemed comfortable, but they were just way too loose.

Very cute but very slippery sandal inside Just trying on my foot was sliding all over Looks to be made good

Toe thing was painful, like it was in the wrong spot made foot feel all out of wack. I really wanted to love these they are very very cute. They just felt awful overall, very flat feeling almost like you are leaning back.

Unable to properly review since the narrow width did not appear narrow at all. Had to send back. Very cute flip flop.

I was so very disappointed. I have a narrow feet and its so hard to find manufactures who'll make them any more. I got excited that they had a "narrow" category for this sandal and thought it would be good looking. Well, it's good looking but it is not a true narrow. It was so wide on my feet. I get so tired of trying to find shoes to fit me 8 1/2 Narrow all my life.

liked the style and arch support. but strap on the N (AA) was too side for my foot.

I have many pairs of vionic sandals but these were too wide and my foot was slipping around in it

Ordered narrow width for my size 6 AA feet. Way too wide - was able to put 2 fingers under straps. Very disappointed as comfort support and style were very good and gold cork color was just what I was looking for. Didn’t work out as my foot was sliding in sandal. Do wish more shoes/sandals come in true narrow width for my size. Will be returning …
