I'm a huge Orthaheel Tide fan, so I thought I'd try the Julie. I have a slight "cankle" problem and the strap was just a little too tight around the outside of my ankle.

These sandals are so attractive and extremely comfortable. The first day I wore them out I received compliments. My daughter, a freshman in college, thinks they are cute. I plan to wear them to Disney World, enjoying the parks in fashionable comfort!

Love these! They are cute and comfortable! It's hard to find "orthopedic" shoes that actually keep my feet comfortable and don't look like my grandma handed them down to me in her will. These sandals fit the bill. I have other Vionic sandals with the same sole and my feet can walk for hours in them.

I put these sandals on and had almost instant relief from heel pain related to a minor case of plantar fasciitis. The arch support is fantastic. The styling of the shoes are cute. As other reviewers have said the shoe runs slightly on the narrow side. I wear a size 8.5 to 9 M and the size 8 was perfect. There is a little rubbing from the underside of the flower closest to the toes, but the rest of the shoe is super comfortable!

I have flat feet with pronation problems and had calcaneal osteotomy surgery a year ago to reconstruct my foot. These sandals are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. The arch is pronounced, but comfortable. I can walk all day long on them and my feet feel great which is amazing. They are the cutest podiatrist-designed sandals I have ever seen and definitely the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I have received many compliments on them. These run more narrow than the Vionics flip flops which I also own. I have a medium width foot and just barely fit into these, but they do fit and are so comfy! Bought these in the black and am now purchasing a second pair in red. So happy to finally own a cute summer shoe that is also very comfortable!

Most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned. I bought these before a week long trip where I knew I would be doing lots of walking. They offer great support, even after a full day on your feet. I am already thinking about buying another pair. There are comments about this being a narrow shoe, but it seemed average to me. My feet did not hang over the sides and the straps fit nicely.

I bought two pairs Vionic Ortho Julie II sandals last year. I have plantar fascist and a narrow foot. I had not been able to wear sandals for three years. This sandal gave me the support I needed and I could wear them all day with no pain. My AA narrow foot fit great in this shoe since it runs a little narrower than the other Orthos. The style is cute and I received a lot of compliments on them. I am buying another color for this summer to give me more options to wear . I so afraid they will stop making this shoe and I will be back to no sandals that give me support in a narrow - meaning I would not be able to wear sandals again.

These sandals are good, but not great. The arch support is good but the problem is that the strap construction does not secure them enough to my foot in order to be truly supportive. I did not have any problems with chafing or rubbing from the material, but something about the way the straps are placed keeps the shoes from staying solidly on my feet. Still, I would recommend these shoes - they're very comfy and look nice in person too!

I have a very high arch and usually wear Birkenstocks but I wanted to get something a little different. These sandals are really cute and look feminine even though they have great arch support. I am usually a 7 1/2 and I got an 8 based on the recommendations of other reviewers. They fit well and are really comfortable. There are a couple of things, though. One is that the strap by my toes rubs a bit and I did get a blister the first time I wore them for a long period of time (walking 3 miles). The second is that the straps are stretching and I keep having to tighten the sandals every time I wear them, but I'm not at the last hole yet!

Sometimes I lose my balance in these shoes, but I must say that my feet do not hurt after wearing these for hours. However, the materials seem a little cheap and I am already seeing cracks in the soles. Today is Saturday and I just got these on Tuesday. I just think the quality has gone down since the brand became Vionic. I would not buy these shoes again, but I still love the house slippers!

These shoes are super cute, considering they are orthotic. I have painful neuromas in both feet and have only found Naots to be comfortable and somewhat cute, until now. I'm a true 6.5 - ordered 7s based on reviews, way too big. The 6s are a tad too small but keeping them. Wish these came in 1/2 sizes.

If only I really paid attention to the reviews. Orthaheel, before it became Vionic, used to run big. I wear an 8 1/2 so I ordered the 8 and it's too short in the toe. Also, I wear a M shoe, and this shoe seems a bit narrow. I wouldn't order a wider width, I'm just saying I can't see the outline of the shoe on the sides when I'm standing up and looking down at my feet. My feet don't feel insecure in the shoe, so that's a good thing. I'm about to exchange this for a 9 -- I'm so desperate for sandals with arch support. I rate this with moderate arch support because I don't really know what excellent arch support feels like. Oh wait, my feet feel best when I'm wearing my slippers, both the Gemma and the Relax. And my aunt bought a pair of original Orthaheels from QVC and they felt great (don't know the model name but they have two straps going across the top of foot). Hope this review helps you where it matters -- the fit of the shoe.

These are really cute shoes. I'm not sure about the comfort of them, though. Because they are "orthotic," there is a big lump in he the middle of the shoe where the arch of the foot is. M feet are average...no pain, no high arches...just average feet. The lump is very uncomfortable for me. Is it me or is it because I have no foot issues? I do have a severe pain issue elsewhere -- pain with sitting - so I stand a lot. Thus I do need cushioned shoes. Am I the only one who finds these shoes a bit uncomfortable? Is this because I don't have foot pain? I want to love these shoes as they are so cute, but afraid the "lump" in the middle will aggravate my other pain, in the long run? Anyone else have a problem with the raised part in the middle, causing discomfort? Trying to decide whether to keep these. Thanks!

Love these sandals. Very cute and stylish, but also very comfortable. Perfect for travel. My only complaint is that they only come in whole sizes. I really needed an 8.5. The 9 works, but it isn't perfect and the 8 was too small.

Very comfortable and looks nice I can walk all day in this sandal. I wear an 8.5 and ordered the 9,in bronze. It is a bit large, but works with the heel strap pulled tight. It was so comfortable I purchased the VIONIC flip-flops.

These were attractive and comfortable, just a wee bit more narrow than I would expect. I normally where typical width shoes, but these were too narrow for me. They do run large - I wear a 10.5/11, but I ordered a 10 and they were just about the perfect length.

These are super cute, but slightly narrow and seemed a bit flimsy for the heavy walking I am planning. Still, very comfortable and attractive. I would keep them if they were better suited for my travels.

Love the sandals, very cute and comfortable. I have trouble finding shoes, and especially sandals, that fit my very narrow foot and these fit fine. Only problem, and the reason for 4 stars overall, is the strap. When shortened to the first hole for my narrow foot the end hangs out too far so I'll have to either cut it myself or take to a shoe repair person to cut. There are a lot of people like me who would love to have a better choice of footwear for narrow feet, please help us out. I bought the navy size 7 which is my normal size in sandals so I think they run very true to size.

I've tried Orthaheel in the past and now Vionic, but they continue to run large. I usually wear a 9, but always have to get an 8 in Orthaheel. Unfortunately this makes my arch not line up correctly. Usually they also run wide. This style though runs narrow as my foot hangs off the edge. I wish Orthaheel/Vionic could perfect this shoe because it would be great for people like me that need arch supportive sandals.

I received this sandals and put them on and thought "they are super cute" but why did they use cheap patent vinyl to make the upper on the sandal? Seems like really cheap material for how much these sandals cost. I'm returning them.

The shoes are pretty in person and the base is comfortable. I returned these because the ankle strap was too small and difficult to buckle. The buckle is tiny and I am a large woman so it was hard to get a good grip on both sides of the strap to use the buckle. I would have loved these shoes if they were Velcro or an elastic strap.

I loved this shoe - love the idea of it - so cute and I was hoping the support would help with my chronic ankle pain. I read all the reviews and they were amazing. I got them and couldn't wait to try them on - they really are cute and the support was great. The only reason I'm giving them a lower rating is because the flowers near the base, where the t-strap goes between your toes rubbed horribly against the tops of my toes. After 5 minutes of wearing them in the house it was pretty uncomfortable so I am sad to say they are going back. Loved the support though and they really are super cute! Zappos service was great as usual though - love the fast delivery. Love you, Zappos!

I have been looking for a supportive sandal for a long time. I have super high arches and these have great arch support - along the lines of Dansko. The footbed is also nicely cushioned. Straps are comfortable but the thong seems to be almost too far forward on the foot bed. So when I walk, my foot slides forward and then my toes hang off the sides/front of the footbed a bit. But if I go up a size to a 9 they will definitely be too big. I also wish the footbed was slightly wider at the front, but since the arch support is so great and they're fairly cute I'm going to keep them and try them for the summer.
