I my size and a size smaller, and neither one fit. They were both too big in the straps. It's too bad because I really liked the molded footbed. I wish you would make these in women's sizes and not unisex.

Had to send them back- because they don't have half sizes, I tried a size up AND down, and neither worked out. Very disappointing. The arch seems very supportive, if they fit you, but could use more "give".

I have been using the VIONIC sandal for years (probably my 6th or 7th pair). The last pair I ordered is the same size but much looser. I don't feel near as safe walking in them as I did with prior pairs. Up till this pair, I would have given the sandal a 5 rating.

Have always used the Kiwi slide that has an adjustable strap, trying the Wave and without the adjustability they are way to loose. I like the cooler feel but my feet are swimming in them, the length is perfect and I have a wide foot. Thought the medium width would be snug but I was way wrong.

Maybe the attempt at a unisex shoe is to blame, but I had about a half-inch of space between the strap and my foot. Couldn't keep the sandals on my feet as I walked around my house.

The length seems like it is true to size yet the width of the band around the foot is far too loose. This is the second pair of vionic sandals we have tried and both had the same problem. The straps are so loose that its hard to keep them on your feet which defeats the purpose of them having great arch support because you foot cant keep them on

Unisex sizing doesn't work for me (Women's 11 Medium). Because this is sized for a man's foot it was too big and the straps were too loose so the shoe flopped around. I imagine if it was the correct size and the straps were tighter, then it would a very comfortable flipflop.

Good looking sandal with a very supportive and comfortable footbed, but they have a fatal flaw. The toe strap is really really loose. I even sized down, I’m normally a 13 in shoes but ordered a 12 sandal for a snug fit… and these were still practically falling off my foot every time I took a step. I had to return them.

I have owned several pairs of these of the years... these ran about a size small and had small annoying nubs on the sides of the footbed.

These were very comfortable, except that they were too wide by a lot. I'm sad to have to return them.

These Vionic's are awful. I don't know if it's just a fluke because I have about 8 other pairs of various styles that are all comfortable. These are much harder; not as spongy. I actually get shin splints from them, if I wear for any length of time, whereas I walk around all day long with my others. Couldn't return because I had already worn outside but won't buy these again!

Calling these Unisex is not accurate. They are clearly men's shoes that are being sold as Unisex, which is ridiculous. The foundation of a man's shoe is much broader than a women's shoe. I have a slightly wide foot but these were still really wide for me. They would never try to sell men on a woman's shoe by labeling it Unisex. I'm annoyed.

I bought the Vionic wave for the arch support, which was good. Unfortunately, the toe post and straps dug into my feet, making them very uncomfortable to wear. Ended up returning them.

I was hoping these would be a great pair of flip flops. I got a size 7 which was too big (I normally take 7). The toe strap was too loose in the 7 so even a smaller size probably would not fit well. I am returning them for another brand.

For over 5 years I have lived in wave Orthoheel sandals in the summer but now they are making them so loose and sloppy on my foot that I feel unsafe wearing them. I have tried the smallest size, M5 W6 several times from Zappos and had to send them back.

I wanted to love these sandals, and I did, except for the looseness of the darn straps. I read the other reviews and though, “I don’t have dainty feet, they’ll be fine.” They weren’t. They flew off my feet as I was walking through the house. However, I truly enjoyed standing still in these sandals. The arch support looked daunting when I opened the box, but it was nice! Supportive, but not stiff. I’ll definitely be looking at other footwear from Vionic.

I am so disappointed with the looseness of the straps. This is the 5th pair I have worn over the years so I know what they should feel like. The length (I always order a size down because they are unisex) is fine as is the arch support. But the strap is very loose. The part that goes between the toes is a full quarter inch longer which accounts for the poor fit. I I am now reluctant to order another pair.

Love vionic tide (have gotten 4-5 pairs to date) but out of stock in my desired color and got the wave. But for whatever reason these really aggravated my left little toe after extended use. Too late to send back but am getting vionic tide now.

Had high hopes for these after hearing how wonderful they were, but sadly I wasn't impressed. The foot bed felt plastic-y and cheap, and reminded me of the foot bed of Crocs. They did have decent arch support, but the sole felt fairly "squishy" and I imagine would quickly compress and break down with use. Sending these back and continuing my search for another supportive flip flop option.

I bought these back at the end of June and it's mid October and I can no longer wear them. The left shoe's toe hold is loose and almost ready to come out completely. Glad I keep another pair of another brand in my truck for emergencies like what happened to me. This is my first issue with Vionics. I really like the shoes and the support they give me. I just don't think a shoe should start falling apart less than 4 months after purchase. Hopefully Vionics will make good.
