Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide Rhinestone

Wanted to love these as much as I love the VIONIC Rest Karina, but the medium width was actually medium - I wear a wide. The rhinestones dug in a bit and they just weren't wide enough, which is totally on me for wishing they would fit and ordering the wrong size. I wish Vionic made more wide shoes... but the style, arch support, and construction were great for someone who actually wears a medium shoe!

I was thrilled when these arrived. Super cute rhinestones, but when I put them on, they were a bit on the short and narrow side. I am a 7.5 normally, and ordered an 8, but my toes could curl over the front and side. Unfortunately these have to be returned. I haven't decided if I should try one size larger, as the strap felt good on the 8.

Really cute,shoes but I have the same issue one of the other reviewers has had. The stones do not stay on. I have worn these 3-4 times and already have at least 12 stones missing. They are comfortable, cute, but miss the mark with the stone issue. Not worth the money with the stone issue.

I'm a true size 5 medium and these were way too big. Loved the sparkle. Would have been perfect for a beach wedding, but alas they must go back. The arch support would have been great had they fit.

I loved these sandals except the material between the toes is way to thick and rubs my toe. Unfortunately these are going back.

This is my first pair of Vionic sandals. I must say they aren't as comfortable as I'd expected, but the instructions that came with them did say it takes a while to get used to them, because they are orthopedic. It does get easier to tolerate with repeated wearing. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and back, and pain in my feet from a fall that I had 5 years ago, which is why I purchased them. So I'm hoping the sandals will help relieve some of the pain. I love bling, which is why I purchased this particular sandal. But it hasn't even been a month that I've had them and I had to glue one of the stones back on. Not what I was expecting from such an expensive sandal. If another stone comes off within the first 30 days, I'll probably return them.

I'm so disappointed in these sandals. Such a shame that Vionic is missing the mark with these (and other sandals/shoes/slippers of their brand) because they do have the right ideas. Specifically, the bed of these sandals are hard as rocks. There is no give. Also, the material that the bed is made of is slippery (like hard plastic as opposed to cushiony, grippy rubber). I found my feet sliding all over the place, and struggled to keep them stable. This throws off the entire stride and lands my arch in an "off" position, causing the built-in arch of the sandal to hit in the wrong place. Lastly, I sized down as I read that these run large and wide (and they do!), but even so, with the shoddy footbed material the smaller size did not offer any more support. Sadly too, the straps are wide/gaping and do not keep the foot in place. I was curling my toes to maintain a stable stride in these sandals. Such a shame that a company that claims to have so much concern for the proper fit of the needs of people with orthotic issues; the use of cheap/hard material and lack of supportive fit makes those innovations a mute point. Note to Vionic...Us folks with plantar fasciitis are desperate for cushion...the built in arches are a wonderful idea, but without the cushion to help with our pain issues, those arches are useless!

As much as I would like to love this Vionic the arch support hits my too low and is too high. Makes my foot supinate to the point of pain. I have other Vionic shoes I love.

I wore this last summer...the rhinestones are pretty, but one by one they fell out. So now I just wear them for around the patio since we don't wear shoes in the house.

The between the toes part of the thong is quite uncomfortable. I'm hoping that over time it will soften up and will feel better. The arch support takes some getting used to. Again, I hope over time it will be okay. I am wearing them just in the house in the hope that I will be able to break them in gradually, but in general, I am disappointed in the shoe. My Skechers Tone-ups are much more comfortable but I have been unable to find them any more.

I miss the old Orthaheel original Tide sandals. Please bring them back Vionic! This new style is too soft and doesn't provide the arch support I need for my feet and knees. These shoes are cute and look great but I have to send them back because of the lack of support.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but I felt like they were way too hard and not cushy. I have plantar fasciitis and I need a cushy heel, for sure.

These Vionic sandals have great 'curb appeal.' I've gotten so many compliments; I bought two different colors. The foot bed is NOT the same if you're used to the Orthoheel's. The support I get from Orthoheel is noticeable better. I wonder why the foot beds feel so much harder/stiffer? Perhaps new materials? These are pretty, and still offer arche support, but not as happy with overall support and comfort for my high arches.

I wear an 8 1/2 in most athletic shoes. Ordered these in an 8 and probably should've gotten a 7. They run HUGE in length and width (see picture to show how much room in front of my bigger foot and the shadow under the strap shows how loos they are. Because so wide, foot sliding forward and 3 laps around the house produced a blister between my toes already! I have plantars fasciitis, and was seeking arch support, but these are uncomfortable show shoes. I will be returning.

Loved them but when I walked, the foot bed 'suctioned cupped' to the bottom of my foot. They need to cover the foot bed with a suede or microfiber type surface.

I love this style however the left shoe strap was looser, hard to keep on!

I bought two different pair of Vionics and these flip flops "Tide Rhinestone" are harder than a rock where as the other pair, "Sosha" are soft and cushioney. I tried walking around the house in them but they actually hurt my arch. I called to ask about why they'd be different than the other pair and was told that they do have different bottoms on some. My foot is an 8 1/4 so I ordered an 8 and a 9 - the 9 fit the best. My other complaint about the Vionics is that I have a narrow foot but when the arch pushes up on my arch, it must spread my foot enough that my baby toe hangs over the edge.

I bought the Vionic tide II a couple of years ago and loved them. They were a good fit and true to size. I broke my foot and needed the support which they provided including the arch support and firm sole. Needless to say I was very disappointed when I received the Vionic Tide Rhinestone. The foot bed was totally different. The heel was not as deep and was wider and there was too much play in the straps. I had to return them and try and find a substitute which I have not been able to do as of now. Vionic needs to have better quality control of find a different manufacturer.

Beware of the blue ones. This was my second pair of the blue ones. I loved them. I bought the exact same ones last year and wore them out. So, I expected the same quality. Not the case. After one wearing, the straps dyed my feet blue. I thought maybe because they were new some color ran off. Not the case. Every time I wore them my feet were blue. I had to return them.

I have been very disappointed in this brand in the last year. The size 8 is too big (what I have worn for several years) and 7 is way too small. I thought it might be the style, but I have had to send back three different pairs of flip-flop styles because they would not stay on my feet, and I have very wide feet.

I have been out of town, tried these on and the tong is to loose and wide. "the strap"

I'm keeping these because i wore them, but both of my feet hurt after a short outing. I have plantar fasciitis on my left heel,but I could hardly walk after spending an hour in these shoes.....

Took these Vionic sandals on a week long camping trip and had "black" marks on both of my feet while and after wearing them! Unfortunately, these were the only sandals I brought! Awful quality!

These sandals look great but they are not for me. I have worn them around the house off and on for two weeks. The sole is hard and not comfortable.
