I have very flat arches and have tried so many expensive shoes. This is my favorite shoe ever. I wear them every day. My knee pain is so much better, and my left foot (the worst) is no longer swelling. The size is perfect and what I normally wear. They are cute enough to wear with most things.

I just ordered these in "Gold Cork" last night and already received them! I am currently suffering from plantar fasciitis and they feel wonderful! The arch support is excellent and they are completely adjustable to my narrow feet. Also they look stylish without looking like orthopedic shoes. I can only recommend these sandals. One word of advice: Follow the sizing instructions to downsize half a size if in between sizes. I usually wear a size 7.5 in sandals and size 8 in regular shoes. I ordered size 7 and they fit perfectly!

Wonderfully comfortable sandal with orthotic support. Style emphasized foot size and looked dowdy so I am returning them. I wish Vionic sold all footwear in half sizes and width fittings. I am often forced to purchase larger shoes than I really need just because I am sized 9 1/2 wide.

I like these sandals. They just don't hold my foot in place. They seem to be to wide.

I have been fighting foot and leg problems for about 6 months after originally hurting them at the gym. None of the insoles I bought over the counter or at the gym were helping. Got these shoes yesterday and already my feet are feeling better. I just ordered a pair of the athletic shoes today. I am getting ready for a trip that involves lots of walking. I will write that review after I get back, but I am definitely feeling more optimistic than I was before!

I have purchased 4 pairs of this sandal (in all the offered colors and 2 pairs of the Maggie sandal). I love each and every pair. Don't know what I am going to do for shoes for this winter. I have knee & foot problems and have no more pain since wearing these sandals. I highly recommend them. I usually wear a 71/2 but ordered a 7. They fit perfectly.

Really the best sandal I remember getting earth shoes back in the late 70's. These are very similar. Can't go wrong buying any Vionic brands. sneakers are well worth every penny.

I love these sandals and have bought them in 3 colors. The wonderful arch support makes them very comfortable for me. I am so glad they are offered in wide width. I was so pleased with these that I bought the Vionic walking shoes, also.

With my knee and hip problems, Vionic sandals have made it possible to wear sandals again. Well made, cute, and most importantly, great arch support. Within the Vionic line, I have to wear the adjustable sandals since my foot is narrow in the heel and typically wear a AA width. The Amber works for a narrow heel foot. Wish Vionic would make a narrow version of their shoes instead of just medium and wide. As always, Zappos was great to work with in helping me find which Vionic style worked best for me.

I have plantar fasciitis and it seems to be helping me. You can't wear them long though before you have to change to your other shoes with orthotics and it does say you need to wear them 20 minutes at a time. My problem is severe; it doesn't want to stop. It has improved significantly though with addition of massage therapy by medical massage therapist. I am considering buying Birkenstock because they cover all the arches to see if I still have a problem. I used to wear them years ago. I would suggest the soft beds though; the others take a period of breaking into.

I am so thankful I found these shoes! I have a narrow foot, and normally wear orthotics...these are perfect! No need for my orthotics! And I don't look so frumpy in my sneakers when out and about! I would have liked a little longer length on the Velcro because I have tightened them down as far as they will go. Hope they don't stretch out as time goes on because then they will be too wide. Hope there is something I can wear when winter comes that are adjustable for my narrow foot! I walked all day shopping in these on a hot day! I am happy! Maybe leather is in order for next year...they do get a little hot under the strap.

I have 12 pairs of Orthaheel shoes. I wear nothing else...it healed my knee and foot pain, etc. It's a life change when you go to these shoes.

Fabulous sandal. Great arch support, comfortable all day, walking, anytime wear. Cute & dresses up or down. Comes in wide, yeah! These are even more comfortable than the original Orthaheels from a couple years ago. Can wear without my orthotics, as these are built in.

I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable. I have a high arch and pronate. I wear stiff orthotics. Sandals are a challenge. This shoe works for me! I bought a pair 2 years ago and they got me through a 2 week trip to France plus 2 summers of daily wear. This year it was time to replace them. The current version is less comfortable then my first pair, though, because the straps across the top are stiffer and cut into my skin a bit. But they are the best sandal I have ever found and they are kind of pretty, too. They look fine with summer dresses. I feel lucky to have them.

How wonderful to find a sandal I can wear without pain! I have neuropathy and a resulting foot deformity, and have been restricted to wearing athletic shoes for the past two years. I discovered Vionic Orthaheel and now my feet can actually breathe again. Great for flat foot or those of us with Charcot foot deformities.

These are very cute! The straps are a cork design with gold accents. The gladiator style is fully adjustable so my arch stays supported. The sole is resilient and comfortable. I am very grateful to Orthaheel for making sandals that really support my high arches.

These sandals are perfect for my feet. The ability to modify both the ankle strap and the strap around the back of my foot makes a difference. The arch support is so good that it means that I can wear a sandal without my orthotics.

These shoes are AMAZING! They fit like a glove and very comfortable. Vionic's suggested a few hours a day to get use to the support. What a great idea because it is a different feel. But even so the shoe is great. Can't wait to use on my cruise in a few weeks!

These shoes feel great on my feet. I have plantar fasciitis and could hardly walk. I bought these and a pair of flats, also by Vionic. What a huge difference!! Great arch and heel support. I want to buy more shoes by this brand, but I have wide feet and it seems many of their shoes aren't available in wide. That's my only complaint - that I can't buy another pair or 2 for work.

I love these sandals! I purchased the black. The new black sole and foot make them dressier and they are still the same great Orthaheel design. They were very comfortable right out of the box. I would pay more to have the exact design in real leather and maybe a bit more cushion! Great arch support for my problem feet.

I have really flat feet and Vionics are by far the best supporting shoes I have ever worn. I am happy to have shoes that fit well, relieve pain, and still look good. Shipping was lightening fast too.

I had to return my original pair since they were too wide and too long. I usually wear an 8 and ordered a 7. Since these sandals are fully adjustable they were perfect on my feet. With no break in time, I did a lot of walking in Disneyworld and had no foot issues. I love theses sandals!

I hate wearing sandals, but living in New Orleans I have to. I am super picky about the way they need to fit. These sandals are fantastic! They do not rub on my toes, they do not make my soles hot like some sandals do, they support my higher arches (a big challenge with sandals), they are very comfortable without being homely, they were not outrageously expensive (unlike some other high-end sandals) and they have a unique finish (cork with gold flecks). At first I thought there was a little too much Velcro going on, but I soon appreciated being able to quickly adjust to my narrow feet that can swell in the heat. These are great, and did not need any break-in time that I saw mentioned due to the heel being lower than the front. I highly recommend these!
