Customer Reviews VIONIC Minna

Ok.. Here's my situation. I am a very fashion conscious woman in my 40's and a retired professional ballet dancer. With that being said, the last few years have really reminded me about the abuse that I put my body through for 10 years especially regarding my knees which have already both had surgical ACL replacements through my life. I began researching shoes that would correct my knee issues but would also be stylish. That was a difficult search let me tell you! This was until I discovered these Vionic ballet flats. When I first tried them on it's as if my foot was finally home and I could see what little support all of the other shoes I had been wearing (especially Tieks) offered little if zero support. I now own 3 pairs of these. I LOVE the leopard ones and even ordered the dark red and black leopard but my ONLY complaint is that they are so dark that you really can't tell they are red unless you really look and I had hoped for just a bit more color in that shoes. My second complaint is, if you have a bunion or are even sensitive in that area at all, you will be kicking your shoe off under the table for a bit of relief. If you have a very pronounced bunion there is no give in that area so I don't recommend these for you. Otherwise, you will love there. I have had lots of compliments on the leopard and am super picky about how my ballet flats look from the side. These are great.

I was so excited to try these... and then not so much. There wasn't as much arch support as I'm used to from Vionic, the wides weren't all that wide, and the back of the shoe rose so high that it was guaranteed to give me a blister. Sigh. Back they go.

These are the most fabulous shoes! I have a square forefoot, narrow heel, and high arch. Lately, I've been experiencing plantar fasciitis, and shoes that used to be comfortable, like Dansko, are no longer. The looks of these are deceiving, for the interior has wonderful support! They fit like a dream right out of the box and feel great, even on tile!

I looked at this brand at the recommendation of my chiropractor. He said they had good support plus were stylish. I agree the arch support is very good and they are really cute. One benefit I like is that they are a little wider than your normal shoe so they don't squeeze your foot or your toes. My foot is wider than a normal shoe but I don't usually wear a wide shoe, so these are perfect for me.

I live in these shoes as a teacher on her feet for 6 classes a day. At first they did feel a bit narrow around the toe box, but after 2 days they broke in and are super comfortable. I feel great after wearing these shoes all day and they are so stylish. I probably wear these 4/5 days a week and they still looks great. I love vionic sandals in warmer weather, and these were my first pair of "shoes".

This is surprisingly comfortable for someone who isn’t usually a fan of flat shoes. Very comfortable and stylish for a workday or a jeans day. Unfortunately I’m returning these because I received them used, damaged, and simply shipped in a plastic bag. This is my first great disappointment with Zappos. It makes me hesitant to purchase again.

I've been waiting for Vionic to develop Orthaheel flats that look nice, are comfortable, are made with real leather, and that don't smash my long middle toe at the end. Here they are! Finally a moderately dressy shoe that provides some support and fits well. This is the first Orthaheel flat that I've tried that fits, and I've tried several styles. A nice addition to the sandals and walking shoes I already love.

It took me a long time to break these in, which I did very slowly. The top of the back of the shoe was very firm and rubbed a blister even thought I wore band aids every time I wore them for 2 weeks. They have finally softened. I think I will wear them very often. I am fighting foot and leg pain, and these provide much more support than most flats.

I am a teacher and I dance ballet in my spare time. I am constantly looking for comfortable and cute shoes since I am on my feet all the time. Oh my goodness! This is the first pair of flats ever that I didn't need to break in. No band aids, no red marks or soreness after I wore them and my feet weren't tired. Bonus, the amazing arch support! Need to order these in all the available colors, THANK YOU VIONIC!

I love these shoes. These are not the first version I've purchased. I have to fight planters fasciitis and these are a good solution when I need a nicer shoe.

Although this flat has more arch support than most ballet flats, don't expect it to have the arch support you would find in the Vionic sandals. I have two pairs of the Tide sandals, which have awesome arch support. These dress flats, on the other hand, while more comfortable than most flats, have minimal arch support. I don't think these shoes are worth the high cost since they don't deliver on the arch support that Vionic advertises.

Love this shoe but sizing doesn’t work for a narrow foot.

Well, of course, I had to buy this shoe as the model name "Minna" is the name of one of my cats! This is my second pair of VIONIC ballet flats and I love them. I love ballet flats and with my Morton's neuroma and fallen arches, it's difficult to find ones that are truly stylish and can accommodate orthotics. The only comment I have is that the heel is a little loose (I need a wide width for the toes). I can put a heel pad on the shoes to make the heel more stable.

The style and fit were very good. I read the reviews and ordered a half size smaller. So I went from a 7.5 narrow to a 7 narrow which fit very well with good toe box room for my longer second toe. I have not worn these except in the house as yet so I cannot address comfort at this review. I am so happy that Vionic now has a narrow shoe. We all do not have wide feet.

So Comfortable. Put them on and away I went! No blisters, nothing. Just a perfect fit, fun look (leopard), I wore them for 12 hours straight. On my feet most of the day. Vionic, please come out with more colors, not just in this style, but the Midi-Perf. I have those in every color. Love this Brand & Love Zappo's!

The arch support and heel cup really make this shoe comfortable compared to other ballet flats. If VIONIC would add just a bit more cushion under the ball of the foot they would be perfect.

I recently injured my ankle and the doctor instructed me to wear orthopedic shoes with an arch support. I gasped! No more Tory Burch? Ugh. Considering these are orthopedic with great arch support...you would never know they were orthopedic! They are very cute for work or to wear with jeans & blazer. I highly recommend for anyone just to keep your feet healthy or if you just want a very comfortable pair of shoes! Well worth the price, very high quality, and well made. I plan to buy another pair of Vionic shoes.

True to size and width, however, the bow detail at toe has metallic hardware caps that make a sound when the hardware hits the leather. Too bad for me! Thank you Zappos for the great customer service!

These flats are comfortable but not as much arch support as other Vionics. I have plantar fasciitis so it's almost impossible to wear flats, but I tried these because other Vionics have great arch support. I am able to wear these all day. They do run a bit large, which I've noticed with other Vionics.

These are really cute! The patent leather accents dress them up a little for work. They fit perfectly and are comfortable right out of the box. This is my 3rd pair of Vionic flats plus loads of sandals and flip flops. Hands down the reason my plantar fasciitis disappeared completely!

Just bought my second pair. I have a wide foot, but a narrow heel, so it is difficult to find ballet flats that work. These are perfect. Fits well and stylish. Just wish they came in more colors.

These are really cute shoes, well made and with some arch support which isn't common in a ballerina style. My problem is that I have very narrow heels and the ball of my foot is getting wider the older I get so the heel on my right foot was slipping. These would be great shoes for someone with a more normal foot. I wish I could have kept these and gotten them in all the colors. I guess I have to stick with Mary-Janes, UGH!

Shoe is very comfortable but 1/2 size too big. Returning to get 1/2 size smaller.

This shoe is textbook vionic. I love the arch support. I ordered my usual size and it felt a little long. I'm sending it back because, honestly, if looks frumpy. The brown snakeskin is okay, but the black is just ugly. I wanted something a little more striking.
