These are the most comfortable thong sandal I have ever worn. Normally I would have foot and leg pain after wearing this type of sandal all day but it has very good arch support and cushioned foot bed. I purchased in both black and white and love the way they look, very stylish. Now that summer is over I just ordered a 2nd pair of black- in case they are not available next summer.

I bought this shoe in bronze and then I had to have them in black. I have a high instep as well as a high arch and I easily adjusted the strap so the sandals fit really well. I love this brand - it's a great fit for my foot. And I think this style is the most comfortable one I've found so far.

Comfort from the moment I put them on, how I love this sandal. Having only tried them on I took them with me to St. Louis for a long weekend. On my feet they went, on my feet they stayed. These are by far the most comfortable sandal I ever have worn. So comfortable and supportive I wore them to work one day. I am on my feet all day and by the time I get my feet and legs are screaming - not after wearing these. Normally, I don't like to wear a thong-like shoe to work so I will look to see what other styles they have. Based on others feedback I ordered the 8.5 (normally, I wear 9) and they fit perfectly, a 9 would have been too long.

This is a great sandal. I have numerous pairs of Vionic sandals. I love each pair. This Karina sandal is stylish and extremely comfortable. I love the arch support. Prior to finding the Vionic brand, the soles and arch of my feet would ache at the end of the day. It takes no "getting used to" for me as some people have posted. They actually comfort the bottom of my foot. My only negative comment is the material on the footbed. It's like a suede fabric. The light color will soon show a dark imprint of your foot. You can't see it when wearing the sandal but once you take them off the footbed looks very dirty. I hide them in my locker when I golf because they make the sandal look so shabby. ( this is not an issue with my black Vionic sandals)

Very stylish AND comfortable, which pleases me to no end. The strap/buckle makes the width adjustable.
Be aware the arch support is quite high on these, and they run just a tad big, not enough to make me mark them as anything other than True To Size, but if you're on the fence....

I have flat feet and can't walk long distances without good support. These have a great footbed with arch support. My test is a trip to a giant warehouse store like Costco--wearing these my feet don't hurt after walking all over the store. I ordered 1/2 size down from my normal size and they fit perfectly.

I love these sandals! A friend of mine recomended these to me since my arches are falling- and I read how they are not as good as they were but I have never had such good arch support in a sandal!

What a cute sandal! I loved it, but the circle didn't lay on the top of my foot correctly and kept hitting a bone. Although I am returning it I am giving it a high rating because the footpad was comfy and it's very stylish.

Love, love, love these shoes. I have incredibly flat, wide feet, as well as a high instep. The buckle allowed me to adjust the width out when these were new and in once the leather stretched from my constant wear. I am typically a 7.5W (I think I'm really a 7WW). The 7W fits perfectly (my pinky toe is on board rather than hanging precariously off the edge). I have gotten compliments on these shoes from complete strangers. :)

I'm in love with these. They make you feel like you're walking around on soft grass, but they have plenty of support for those of us with joint instability (from pregnancy or otherwise). And they're so pretty and go with anything, dressy or casual! I get lots of compliments on these.

I ordered these in a size 8 (I am normally between an 8.5 and a 9), and they fit perfectly. They are extremely comfortable; I wore them for one day, then wore some other shoes the next day and realized just how great these feel on your feet. The customer service was excellent; I told the rep that I live in the Bahamas and that the freight forwarder charges a minimum of $9 per package. She couldn't guarantee that I would only receive one box, but she upgraded it to next day to ensure they would all arrive at the same time so that they could be consolidated and I would not have to pay extra. Overall great service.

These sandals are super! I have narrow flat feet and the adjustable straps are great. They are delicate straps so they probably won't hold up as well as thicker straps. They look is great with everything and I can wear them all day and my feet do not feel fatigued. Well worth the money.

Sandle is fun and flirty and can be dressed up or down. It also works well with my high arches and plantar fascitis. I wish I could wear it to work! I tried the regular width (which I normally wear) but it was too narrow. I'm glad it comes in wide.

These shoes are great. They are to true to sizing and it has enough of an arch so they are very comfortable.

Love these. Have in every color. They fit perfectly as you can adjust with side buckle. I usually take size 9-1/2 or 10 but on these size 9 fit perfectly and I have a hard foot to fit! I would go down half size. Their arch system is wonderful - I could walk all day with no leg pain.

I only purchase vionics now because of their arch system.

I have to be honest, these flip flops are not the most comfortable as my feet, legs, and hips adjust to the 'support' they are to provide. But I love the style so much, I ordered another pair in another color. I can't wear them for long because of what they do to my hips (yes, this new arch design will impact your legs all the way up to your hips). I do recommend them, just letting anyone know that the new, unusual, and very different arch support will take you and your legs time to adjust to them.

I usually wear 7.5 ordered an 8, great fit. Love the arch support! The footbed is more like Tevas than the Vionic Bella I have (soft footbed), this is great for wet days. Thanks Vionic for making sandals and flip slops with arch support!

This brand has been recommended by my podiatrist as a supportive sandal to decrease the discomfort I have had. I wore these sandals for many hours the first time, without any discomfort. The support is felt in the heel, arch, and overall. Worth the cost for a supportive nice looking sandal.

Doesn't look like an orthotic shoe! So cute yet great arch support.
I'm normally an 8.5-9 but I wear an 8 in Vionic. I recommend rounding down if you're between sizes.

Love these shoes - extraordinarily comfortable but still cute! Am only worried I'll wear them out quickly because I am able to walk in them so much.

These are the only brand of flip flops I can wear because of chronic faciitis. If you're on the fence. Get them. They are an investment in your knees, back, and feet. I have 3 colors in this style.

Ooooooo and ahhhhhh. Foot pain be gone and great looking cute shoe. I wear a size 9 in most other shoe brands and the Vionic Karina 8 fit me well. I'll probably get other colors. This shoe is a home run!

I've had these for a couple of weeks now and I really like them. The arch support is perfect (have had plantar fasciitis in the past) and the fit is good. They are pretty cute on and I've had a couple of compliments. My feet don't slip in these like with some of my other sandals. I specifically bought the thong style for easy on/off. I feel they were worth the price.
