Customer Reviews VIONIC Amber

These didn't have the arch support that I was hoping they would. The sole is a bit too thin under the ball of the foot. I'd like to see more of a heel for shock absorption. The crocodile pattern and velcro closures felt cheap. The fit was not great - the straps don't hit in the right places on my foot. Overall this was not a winner.

I did return this sandal, but only because I felt it looked bulky on my feet.

I wanted so desperately to love these sandals because they have everything I want - arch support and adjustable straps. The negative heel causes me so much pain. I gave the shoes well over a month of wear before I cried uncle. Despite the excellent arch support, these sandals exacerbated my plantar fasciitis and left me with severe achilles tendon pain. To add to the misery, the straps across the tops of the sandals did not soften up so they poked me all the time and I could feel all the straps all the time. I found this sandal to be extremely uncomfortable

The fit is true to size. I am a size 9 and these fit. They just aren't as comfortable as other Vionic shoes I have. I own two pair of Vionic flip flops. They are sooo comfortable. Not these.

The straps over the foot are stiff and not comfortable. Good Arch support, but too much for my flat feet. Am returning. Not happy with fit or feel.

I liked the style of the shoe, but it was larger all over. I have worn a size 12 for a few years, yet this had to be at least 1/2 size larger. Also the Velcro tabs had to be pulled as tight as possible for the width.

Cute sandal but too big and too wide. I usually take a 9 in a sandal and these were half size larger it seemed.

I really wanted to love these shoes but the photos made them look more special occasion/weddings. They are not! They remind me of shoes granny would wear. Had to return.

Size 8 too wide, especially in the heel. My other Vionics, which I love, are all 7 1/2 but this style only has full sizes. I missed the suggestion that people who wear half sizes should order the smaller size. I re-ordered in size 7 and they fit very well. I don't care for the decorative tabs, which is the only reason I'm not giving this shoe 5 stars for style.

Cute sandal but wide

the strap on the back seemed to come loose very easily.I only wore them around the house so I can only imagine how they would be in the real world!

Comfort of the footbed was great. The shoe itself just did not seem that well made, sturdy, or even safe. My foot did not feel secure in the sandal. Cute, but not cute enough for the stability concerns.

I loved the way the sandal looked and it helped with my plantar fasciitis, however, I hated the velcro strap around the ankle. It began to come open after a few weeks, on ONE shoe. The velcro is just simply not a strong enough choice for an position that gets some stress. There were so many times when I would be walking that I had to stop and refasten the strap, only to have it come apart again. I will not purchase another sandal with velcro unless it has a loop or something to hold it in addition to the velcro.

I normally wear a 9.5D or 10W in sandals, but in this shoe the 9M fit great. I am so disappointed. I have tried on dozens of different brands and this shoe has the most comfortable soles and arch support I have tried on to date, comparable to SAS and Aetrex or even my own prescription orthotics. There is plenty of room for my feet without looking clunky though a 9W might have fit me a bit better. The soles are grippy and flexible and stable. The shoes are so beautiful and fit my style perfectly. I love that the stone decoration is removable for a different look, and the color coordinating sole is a nice touch. Unfortunately, the material of the straps was beyond uncomfortable. On the skin facing side, it feels like a cheap vinyl or something that grips my skin and made it feel like I had sunburns on the tops of my feet just walking a few steps. They dig in more when you walk and neither loosening them nor tightening them fixed the problem. Why put so much thought into the design of such a great shoe only to throw it away with the choice of material?

Too stiff, had to go back.

Really wanted these to fit. The velcro straps just didn't close at the proper spot for my foot.

I thought these would be cuter on my feet but they looked kind of clunky. The comfort was good but I own other Vionics that were more comfortable.

I am size 7.5. Size 7 fitted. The sole and insole felt wonderful, but the straps (man-made material) on the sandals were really stiff. I am worried that they will cut into my feet, so I am returning them.

You can't tell by pictures on the screen but the sandal has 3 huge and ugly WHITE jewelry ornaments on the strap. Ruins the whole look of the shoe. Vionic - please make normal colored shoes and scrap the jewels, ornaments, snake skin, leopard print, and shiny patent leather.

Bought this for arch support which was very good. Unfortunately straps dug into my bunions as was the PAROS style. I wish designers would consider this. Have had style that worked for me in the past

Fit matched, but style looks cheaply made. Clunky and velcro areas overlap on last section and heel (at least on me), which creates an annoying rub. Like the charms in the middle (which can be removed), but otherwise returning these. Looking at other Vionic styles that have better casual/dress overlap. These may be slightly wider than usual. I measure at 11.5, and either go with 11W or 12 in dress styles. This pair in 11M was wide enough for my feet without being uncomfortable, i.e. no spillage.

Looked cute in the box. After I finished adjusting all of the straps to fit my size 10 wide duck feet with narrow heels, I realized they no longer looked cute on my feet. The search continues...but these had pretty good comfort. Just not the right style for me!
