I have 5 pairs of Karina and just ordered 2 more pair. I love the look of this shoe. They look so great no matter what I wear them with. I think they look dressy but I wear them with jeans and feel all dressed up. I love them because of the rubber footbed also. I have ordered different styles of your shoes with the fabric footbed and I slip all over the place and cant wear them. I have several pairs of new shoes with the fabric footbed just sitting in my closet. I wish all your shoes had the rubber footbed. I have seen other styles that I would have purchased if they would have come in the rubber footbed.

I can only imagine what it feels like to have someone kiss your instep, but these flip flops are probably the closest approximation. Wonderful arch support. I love that the upper is a nice rubbery-grippy material: very easy to keep clean. These can go from the pool deck to a restaurant. There is enough give (holes for the buckle) to make this potentially very wide fitting. With my normal width feet I keep it on the shortest setting. I bought these because they have similar arch support to Chacos flip flops, but are more formal.

This is my first pair of Vionic shoes. I ordered in Black. Very comfortable in both arch support and between the toes. I ordered a second pair in natural snake, but had to return them because they were rough between the toes. I usually take a 7 or 71/2. The 7 fit perfect.

Love these shoes! I normally wear 8.5 and sometimes closer to a 9 lately, but I took a chance and ordered an 8, as most reviews said they run big. They fit great! I recently developed plantar fasciitis, and have been having extreme pain wearing all my old shoes (tons of cute flats that are as thin as a dime). These shoes are so great, I can wear all day and no heel pain! I don't really have arch problems, and it took some real getting used to wearing these, but I find they are really helpful. Definitely recommend!

Beware! The shoes are great until they break and Vionic customer Service ignores your emails and phone messages. I loved these shoes and wore them all of the time for 6 months. They were comfortable and had great support. Then one of the leather straps broke. I took a photo and contacted Vionic customer service. Since it had been less than a year, I figured they would repair or replace them without question. This was not the case. After three message attempts, someone from Vionic finally responded. They said they needed a photo of the item and copy of the receipt from Zappos. I promptly provided them with both via email. Weeks went by and I got no response. I contacted them again both by email and phone. The phone system put me through to a voicemail that provided a message asking you to leave your information but then promptly disconnected before you could do so. I called several times, attempted to leave a message and was never successful. I received two more emails in return to my message requesting that I send another copy of my receipt. I sent the copy of the receipt two more times and still received no response. At this point, 3 months had passed and I had made no progress. I simply refused to send yet another copy of the receipt or call yet again just to be ignored. I decided to give up and vowed never to buy another pair of Vionic shoes again. It's really too bad because I likely would have been a loyal customer!

I have had many foot issues but the biggest problem I have is morton's neuroma. I was just about to schedule surgery for it but thought I would try these first. I have worn them for two days straight and have no pain. I am very very surprised. I also tried one of the walker tennis shoes in the same brand in wide, they were just a tiny bit narrow sadly. I would recommend these sandals to everyone.

Love! I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis, so basically orthotics save me from pain. The downside to that, of course, is not being able to wear them with open shoes in the warmer weather. Enter these stunning solutions! It's tough to find shoes that are both cute and comfortable orthotic free - these are! I'm so glad I bought these and a companion pair to bring some color into my summer shoe wardrobe. I will definitely be looking for more Vionics in the future!

I loved these so much, I bought a 2nd pair in a different color. casual but dressy enough to wear with a summer dress. I have a toe problem - hallux rigidus - so I need comfortable shoes to protect from pain. I lived in these sandals all summer. Great for walking or just hanging out. I may buy another pair just so I know I have them for next summer!

My feet have so many aches and pains from years of dancing in bare feet and thin dance shoes. I mostly wear tennis shoes with orthotics in them year round. These Vionic sandals are wonderful!! For once, I can wear sandals in the summer and not be in pain after. Besides that, these are so much cuter than just a flip flop type strap. I highly suggest these for others of you that have foot problems and need to wear orthotics.

These are super comfy and supportive. I have mild plantar fasciitis and I've had no pain while wearing these shoes. I get comments on how cute they are every time I wear them too. They can be worn for dressing up, or every day.

I ordered these with the hope that I would have a pair of summer sandals that would look and feel good enough to allow me a lot of movement, as I have flat feet and some diabetic nerve issues. I was happily surprised to slip them on and find such a perfect fit, great support, and comfort. They felt a little strange at first. The support is more than I expected. But I quickly became accustomed to it and now wear them almost all the time. I even use them as my slippers! I am very happy with this purchase.

So pretty! I was looking for a stylish thong to wear for dressy, casual dinners and found it. Very comfy with the heel pain I have had lately. This is the first pair of this Brand for me and I am sure not the last. I wear a 7.5 or 38 so ordered the 7 for a perfect fit as instructed by many in the reviews.

The fabric, suede-like footbeds have turned out to be gross! Do not buy them. You will not be happy. Even with clean feet, they will soil from foot perspiration, and then, to make matters worse, the footbeds are no longer soft, the fabric hardens and becomes a terribly uncomfortable bed for your feet. I have the Bella II in white, I do not know why they didn't make it with a white rubber foot bed. That would clean so well and remain new looking and comfortable. I am disappointed with that purchase and will contact Vionic about it.

These are a really cute and versatile style. But they don't have the same arch support that the other orthoheel sandals do. All the same they have a better than average support and are very well made, so if you don't need extra arch support, these will be great for you, but if you do, not so much.

BEST "flip flop" ever! These shoes are so incredibly comfortable and they look fabulous- dressed up or down. I love that they are completely waterproof. Other reviewers suggested sizing down. I wear a 6 1/2 so went to a 6 - too small! went to the 7 - perfect! I'm ordering more colors!!

I love these. I have purchsed a different style of Vionic thongs a few years ago and didnt care for them. Perhaps because they were a little large, but they had no way to adjust. This style has a buckle which allowed me to snug up the fit, and they are great! I have had joint pain in my big toes this year and when I wear these it is so much better! I will purchase this brand again and again. Worth every penny. Try 1/2 size down if there is no way to adjust straps.

These shoes are amazing! I have never been able to wear flip flops without much discomfort at the end of the day. I have bunions from years of ballet/pointe work and slight probation but remain pain free in these shoes. I plan to purchase Vionics for every season!! Well worth the price!!!

I love, love, love these shoes. I'm on my third pair over the last 2.5 summers. The arch support is FANTASTIC, the toe post is smooth and comfortable leather, the style (formerly bronze, now tortoise) can be dressed up or down... I wish I could wear these every day. I wear a 10.5W usually and the 10W here is perfect. (I can't wear Vionic's closed-toe 10s, but these are great.)
Yes, my first pair fell apart at the toe post over time, exacerbated by wearing them when it was wet out. They are made of leather, not plastic, but the comfort and style are worth going through a pair a year for me. (I also called Vionic, like another commenter, and also had a borderline non-responsive customer service experience. Zappos has spoiled me for other customer service for sure. :-) )
With my fussy feet, I truly struggle to find shoes that don't blister, aren't too flat, and actually garner compliments, but these are it for me! They even make my big and wide feet look almost delicate. Can't overstate how much I love these and am happy to rebuy every summer.

This is a super cute shoe, and very comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn't like how much of my size 12 foot showed, I would want a little more of the shoe on the top of my foot. (People with smaller feet will not have this issue :) )
