Customer Reviews VIONIC Amber

Cute shoe for walking all day. With all my feet issues (plantar faciitis, bunions, bone spurs), finding comfortable shoes that don’t look too “grandma” is a challenge. Happily surprised with these!

Felt good on my feet, but found a cuter style. I think I will be returning these.

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Vionic shoes run wide, so I purchased the medium width (it would be a wide in other brands) and it fit perfectly. If you are extremely wide, purchase the wide. I liked that it has adjustable straps. Perfect for travel and can be worn with pants, shorts, or a sundress.

I'm a 6.5W (D-width), and had Plantar Fasciitis in one foot for over a year. I'm going to Italy and am worried about re-activating the PF, because I'm only a few months pain-free. Kuru has been my go-to, but they don't make a wide range of styles like Vionic. SIZE: based on comments, I ordered a 1/2 size DOWN, size 6W, and it fit PERFECTLY - literally like it was made for me. (Note: by contrast, in the Vionic Caroll ballet flat I needed a 7W - half size UP, and my toes are close to the tip of the shoe.) The width is a true D width - if you are an E, this isn't going to be wide enough, but the D width is a true wide. FIT: There are 4 velcro straps - 3 across the foot, one around the heel. Once you fix the 3 on top of the foot, you can leave them in place and just use the one on the heel taking the shoe on/off. The footbed is curved, so no toes are hanging off the edge, and the heel cup is curved. STYLE: As pictured. Despite the velcro, unless your're extra-wide, you shouldn't be able to see the velcro. On the cork model, the natural pattern in the material also helps distract from the fact there's velcro - I would feel comfortable wearing this to all but the fanciest restaurant, and it is perfect with a summer skirt/dress as well as shorts/pants. I'm not sure if the other colors would be the same. PLANTAR FASCIITIS/ARCH SUPPORT: I tried a Vionic thong (flip flop) last year, and it was TOO high an arch. I ordered 2 pairs - these, and the Caroll ballet flat - and they have very different footbeds from each other, as well as from the thong I tried. This sandal has in the mid-range between the highest arch mold I've found (Vionic thong/flip flops) and normal arch support not made especially for PF. I can't wear anything with a higher arch support than this, without feeling like I'm walking with a rock in my shoe, so I've classified this as excellent arch support. If you have flat feet, this may be too much - but aside from that, I think this is exactly the right level of support for a normal arch/PF sufferer. Bottom line: Vionic has a lot of variation in the footbeds, with varying degrees of arch support. Consider trying different styles to see which work for your situation.

My prior set of sandals had no support and my feet would hurt by the end of the day. My doctor advised I should try a Vionic. The support is great for my high arch. I love that I could put on these sandals and wear them all day without having to break them in. My feet feel great after wearing them. The only negative is in the cork finish they don't look dressy enough to wear with a dress.

This sandal has been a lifesaver! I just keep wearing them out, then ordering the same again. One in every color and two in black. I have stood in them for hours on end at work. And I’ve walked for miles and miles on vacation. They are the holy grail of shoes... cute and comfortable.

These sandals are the best sandals I own and pretty much the only shoes I can wear without pain. The arch support is great and the sole is fairly stiff, but they also have a lot of cushion. They are great for someone like me who has foot issues and has had foot surgery. Vionics have saved me from having to wear athletic shoes all summer. I also love that the straps are all adjustable. They do run a little big. I'm normally a 9.5, but I wear a 9 in these.

Comfortable. Versatile. Stylish. These became favorites the minute I put them on. Great to find a reasonably priced shoe that looks good, feels good, and is suitable for all occasions. They also provide a bit of support. I have the worst time finding shoes that are not only attractive but also comfortable. These fill the bill. Highly recommend.

Ordered my usual size 10M, very comfortable, good quality materials, and would be perfect for my recently developed P/F, but I have a high arch, and the style was not comfortable as the top strap hit the top of my foot at the wrong spot. Even though all straps are adjustable, the style just didn't work for me. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend.

Vionic Amber is a great,comfortable sandal. Super arch support. Liked them so much, I bought a second pair.

I have had three spinal fusion surgeries and have not been able to find a pair of comfortable sandals in years. These are so cute and comfortable! I am just delighted to recommend them. I have wide feet, and difficulty walking due to my back problems. Many summers I have suffered through Chicago heat wearing tennis shoes. I am so happy with these sandals that I am ordering another color. :)
