I bought these for vacation. The week before I decided to wear them to break them in a bit. I can’t seem to take them off. They’re not my go to shoes. The most comfortable sandals I own.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these Vionic (Rest Bella II) sandals. I wear flip flops year round and I have worn another brand for years but the most recent pair I ordered stated that they made the footbed more narrow. I have bunions that stick out beyond the sandal so when I saw that the Vionic sandal was available with a WIDE width I was thrilled. They are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn (thanks to the arch support) and for the first time ever I have received compliments on my cute shoes! I just ordered the denim sandals and plan to buy other colors in the near future.

You just can't go wrong with Vionic! As soon as I put them on they fit as if they were made for me. The only thing I'd mention is that at the end of the bow there's a tiny metal decoration & that bothered my toe so I tucked it into the loop & it has stayed there so it's fine.

Beautiful and super comfy right out of the box. Very slim line profile, but with remarkable support and cushioning. I have a very hard time finding cute, comfortable, and supportive shoes. These do the trick.

A friend bought me a pair of Orthoheel sandals as a gift and I just loved them. They were a bit too casual, however, for the office, so I poked around on Zappos and found this lovely style. They are every bit as comfortable as my first pair and so, so pretty. I bought the light blue and they go with everything - dress them up or dress them down. BTW, my podiatrist recommended Orthoheel sandals as an alternative to wearing a shoe with an orthodic (which I usually do but needed some sandals for a trip to Hawaii). I love the blue so much, I just ordered them in brown. FYI: I usually wear a 9.5 to 10 but the size 9 in these are perfect.

I ordered a 9.5 Narrow. Seemed larger and definitely not narrow. Very cute sandal and very comfy. :(

I received a pair that one toe post was significantly shorter than the other so the shorter one hurt the top of my foot but Zappos has AMAZING customer service and had me a new pair out the same day. New pair fits much better. I’m gonna say it takes a minute to get adjusted to the arch support because I’m use to regular flat flip flops but a neuroma has put an end to that. I love these though. Super cute and learning to love the feel. It is totally just going from flat to support. It’s a great product.

If you pronate, these will save your life! If you supinate, not so much. I alas am a supinater, so I sent them back, but they are so beautifully made to align the foot of someone who pronates. I really wish this brand also made soles to realign those who supinate....

I like that this flip flop has such a solid sole with arch support, but somehow the location of the thong strap that goes between the first and second toe was not placed well for me. The the strap was tight across the inside part of my foot and just right or maybe even a little loose on the outside part of my foot. It wasn't unbearable, but I could tell when trying it on that if I tried to walk in these for any length of time, my foot would hurt. The straps do have a soft, seam-free lining, so I wish I could keep them. But alas, back they go. For reference, I do not have a bunion or otherwise misshaped foot, so again, I'm unclear on why the strap is so oddly placed.

Super cute and comfy, perhaps just a tad too wide, not enough to complain about, but I really love them and just ordered another pair. Highly recommend!

I Loved these little sandals and the bow didn't bother me either. The width of the shoe was correct and the arch support was perfect. Unfortunately the straps were not snug enough against my foot (I wear a 6.5 narrow) and I was making that Flap Flap sound all over the house. I had to give it 3 stars on comfort for that reason.

Its a very cute sandal! Mostly comfortable. A little rough between the toes and a little tight on my wide feet, but with every wear they are getting more comfortable. The support however is very comfortable!

These fit GREAT. The arch support is fantastic. Truly comfortable shoe. Unfortunately, my teenage kids laughed at me and said the bow looked like a spider. They said the shoe is "uncool," so I returned. But for anyone without teenagers, this is a majorly comfortable shoe.

I love these Bella flip flops. I got them in the black patent last summer and they are my favorite shoes for summer. They go with everything and are very comfortable. Although I wouldn’t walk too far as I did that a couple weeks ago and got a blister under the bow on one foot. I did walk a couple miles though. They are fine for typical daily walking. I just picked up the gold cork and they are pretty too. They go with everything and are like waring a nude shoe. I’m a 61/2 and did size down to a 6 as recommended by vionic. The only thing I would change is that the back of the shoe is kind of wide. I do have narrow heels tho and I think they have to do that to create the heel cup.

This sandal is soooo cute! The only reason I did not give it a five star rating is the front strap is a bit uncomfortable between my toes. I just thought for the price they would be more comfy.

These are a good compromise between comfort and style. And I like that the black color has a matching footbed. Otherwise, for me, they'd look like "old ladies" shoes. Size-wise, I normally wear a 9 1/2-10 M, but the 9M fits me perfectly, with the supportive bumps in the right places.

I thought it was a miracle to find a Vionic flip flop in a narrow width and was so disappointed to send these back. The straps stand up too high for a narrow and the shoe just slid off my foot. Thanks to Zappos for making returns easy.

I have bought several pairs of the Bella II sandals and love them. My feet pronate and these sandals help so much with that due to the arch support. The strap is padded underneath so I have never had a problem with my skin rubbing and creating a sore when I wear them long distances. The strap between the toe is soft also. I wear these sandals all summer long.

Very cute in the cork color with the tie with gold at the tips. I had absolutely zero problem with the feel of the tie at the front. It did not subtract from the comfort in any way in my opinion. Is it noticeable? Sure. Is it bothersome? Nope. Not in the slightest. I'm not one to give 5 stars to anything unless it's absolute magic (character trait of mine), so I went with 4 stars all around.

I don't have the foot issues others have mentioned but I do need a hip replacement. Most sandals are not supportive; these Vionic Bella II help but I do not wear them daily. The tapping of the metal tips was resolved; I just slipped the ends through the bows.

I returned these sandals. They don’t look as ‘dressy’ as the aloe toe from the Vionic tidal collection. These also are more flexible than the tides so my feet don’t get as much stability. Last, I wasn’t crazy about the footbed material. I think it would have gotten dirty quickly and it’s not a wipe off material so I’d have to get them get to wash them. The tide collection from this brand is more to my liking

Pretty cute for a pricey flip-flop. The sole is comfortable and supportive, but the thong did give me some minor blistering on the tops of my feet. Also, I recommend purchasing the darkest color you can. The microfiber footbed is a horrible dirt/particle magnet. If you are only going to wear these indoors, you'll be fine, but I walked across my front yard one time and ended up with dirt and grass stains on the soles that won't come out, so it looks like I left stains because of very dirty feet. Gross. Also, any little bits of grass or dirt that get on the footbed are almost impossible to remove. As sandals go, though, you can't beat the support.

These sandals are really cute and I really wanted them to work. I first ordered these in size 7 1/2 N, but they were not nearly narrow enough. I even tried size 7 N but they were too wide, too. I wish Vionic made a truly narrow sandal!

Felt stretched out and not supportive like other Bella II sandals I've tried. Pewter color was more like a tarnished gold--I was hoping for more of a silver.

I love Vionics because they are so comfortable, but, this sandal was a bit heavy on the sole, so, it felt like to was pulling at the top of my foot when i walked. i have another similarly styled Vionic sandal that does not have that heavy feel, so, they are super comfortable and feel lightweight on my foot. The good news about Vionics is there isn't a "breaking in" period. You can take them out of the box and wear comfortably. These were just a little too heavy for my comfort. Most people might not notice the weight/feel, but, I did. otherwise, it's a lovely sandal that is perfect for everyday, work or out to dinner.
