I was looking for flips with great arch support, as I have flat feet. While the arch support on the Vionics are great, the straps were a looser fit than some others. I settled on the Reef Ortho Bounce which had the same or better arch support, the straps hugged my feet more, and felt higher on the quality scale.
I'd also recommend:

Felt too loose, and I found the Tide II to fit better.

Because this is Unisex Vionic - I think the arch is OFF for me! I love the arch in Vionic's sandals......but NOT the "scratchy" straps. So I thought this Flip Flop would work. I am REALLY a 7 1/2 in Vionic....so I will order the "Bell II". It is the ONLY Vionic in a "Half Size". Can't remember why I didn't buy them last time:
I think?.....the Toe post MIGHT be on the SHORT side.
Disappointed as the Vionic arch in Women' shoes is PERFECT for me....
Maybe I need to write to Vionic and suggest different material (NOT scratchy" for their sandals with heel straps!!!

I like the looks but the strap between the toes is thick and rubs uncomfortably. I'm hoping it will mash down as the arch support and heel support are very nice.

The sandals were comfortable when I put them on but after wearing them for awhile the arch was a little to high for me. The straps bothered the tops of my feet. Sent them back was hoping for a good fit!

The straps are too roomy and don't hold the shoes on my feet that well. Other than that they are comfortable.

The arch support is a little too much for my feet. I also prefer a little softer material for the insole. I do not like how the hard plastic feels.

This was a replacement for a previous pair of the same style those were from the old brand name and lasted almost 10 years & I wore them constantly. Crazy expensive but I figured for the longevity they are worth it. These new pair are just as comfortable time will only tell if they are as durable. I have an old fracture in one foot all my shoes have custom inserts but these sandals have comparable support. My big complaint is that there is a very loud clicking noise when walking on almost any surface seems to be coming from the red 'Vionics' bubble on the sole. Go figure the new brand changes one thing on the sandal & that's the part that sucks. They'd be five stars if not for that but it's so embarrassing I had to give it a lower rating.

The straps are way too big. I was so hopeful...Inalready have a fairly high arch so I thought they might work for me but I feel like I am working way too hard to keep them on my feet when I walk.

Straps are waaaaay too loose. If the straps were tighter these shoes would be my go to! I have plantar fasciitis and the foot bed was pretty wonderful, nice and supportive. But the loose straps! Returning them. :(

These are made for men. The sizing is too wide and big for most women's feet. The straps are too loose that I feels like the sandal doesn't really stay on properly which is probably bad for your feet. They should really just be honest and market these for men and not as unisex.

The previous reviews are spot on. After sizing down a half size per recommendations, these are still too wide (and I wear a wide size) and the straps are too loose (feel sloppy). The arch is higher and harder than any shoe I have ever tried on. To my feet (which are apparently NOT high arch) they felt like walking on a thick wooden ball. Extremely uncomfortable. Sorry these will have to go back.

While I love Vionic, and this sandal, combining women's and men's sizes is not good! the width is both M/W, (on Vionic's website), that doesn't work if you don't have a huge foot. The straps float above my foot, too loose! I'm really bummed because I need an arch support in a flip flop. I'll have to keep searching.

Unfortunately for me I can only wear Orthaheel because of my foot condition. Before Vionic took over the company all of the Orthaheel sandals used the same footbed. Now only the "Wave" and other men's sandals do. All of the women's sandals have changed footbeds and don't work for me. Also, the Wave sandals now have very slack thongs which are uncomfortable for me and I would imagine many women. Still, I have no choice but to make due with them.

I have high arches and flexible feet, though I only minorly overpronate. These stop my foot from pronating altogether which is bad! Feet must pronate to walk properly and avoid back problems! These have too much arch support and are too hard. I just wish I had not given them so much of a try, can’t return them now.

The support was mostly there, but there was little cushion. The shoes looked pieced together with glue, as if they would come apart. Disappointed.

I tried the smaller size and my foot was too long, went with the next size up and it solved the length, but the width was an issue. Problem is they don't have half sizes. And they intermingle the same shoe for men and women sizes. I kept them because of the arch. Its got a better than average arch. Unfortunately the narrow size is not available and there is not much selection for good arch flip flops.
But I would've liked a better fitting flip flop. I don't know if others will appreciate the firmer arch this provides, much less the non spongey sole. I am lookin for functionality. They aren't bad looking, I got the grey ones, but there are certainly better looking flip flops and softer ones.

I have a long narrow foot and this sandal is for a fat foot. The quality is excellent but won't work for me.

I really wanted to like these shoes. I had an older pair of SuperFeet flip flops that I lived in for years...when they finally died, I tried their newer styles and was unhappy with the lack of support. The lateral support, in particular, is problematic. They just don't feel very sturdy. I thought I'd try these Vionics, but found a similar issue. I would say they are better, but overall not enough to keep. I decided to get Birkenstock sandals and haven't been disappointed.

Bought the sandal two weeks ago. Being that the shoe is coming from a shoe company dedicated to supporting arches I would assume all their shoes should have excellent arch support but I am wrong. Also being that the sandal are so costly You would also assume the quality would be higher than norma as well. Again I was wrong.

I have flatter feet so I do want some arch support, but I found all the vionics I tried to be too uncomfortable given their very high arch. Fitflops were a better match for my heel pain and flatter feet.
