I'm a 31 year old acquiring foot problems and have been looking for cute, supportive footwear. I ordered the taupe in a 7 1/2 which is typically what I wear in a closed shoe. These were too big and I probably could have exchanged for a 7, but the arch support wasn't that great so I decided to just return them. The overall style of the shoe is really cute though and I liked the color -- basic without being black. I just need something that will provide more arch support.

So cute and so big! Fits like an 11.5. Also, arch support was not as good as I expected after wearing Vionic sandals.

These are just OK. They are NOT worth this much money. My feet don't feel particularly supported or comfortable.

I have 4 pairs of Vionic sandals that I swear by for arch support, so I was really excited to give their flats a try. These shoes did not live up to the brand. While the sizing was the right length, the gaping on the sides and ill-fitting footbed mean that I'm returning them.

These are my least favorite Vionic shoe. I didn't wear them much in the winter, and recently, when I started wearing them for spring, I thought they'd break in, but no such luck. They are very stiff and do not have nearly as much cushioning as my Vionic loafers. They are super cute but overpriced and uncomfortable.

Slip-Offs: these ballet flats will announce your arrival as they flip & flap with each step. Perhaps it was just the pair sent to me, but the arch is misplaced ... not where a foot arch actually is. They are going back.

I have several pairs of Vionics - flip flops/Spark Surin and Spark Matira flats/slippers - the only shoes I'll buy now. The arch support is absolutely fantastic. These Spark Willow flats are SO cool looking....but if you have a bunion on your big toe, don't even consider them. I was surprised at how stiff and extremely uncomfortable they are as well. The Spark Surin and Spark Matira flats are so comfortable that I assumed other Vionic flats would be the same. I think these are the only Vionics that I've returned.
Can't say enough good things about Zappos, though....the free shipping/returns and easy return policy....all add up to phenomenal customer service.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I wear flats all the time and was excited about the prospect of finding some that offer proper support.
I was somewhat disappointed when I received these - they are more sparkly than I had expected, and very rounded (in a clownish kind of way - nothing elegant or sleek about them). However, I was willing to sacrifice looks for comfort, to a certain extent, since I haven't found any stylish flats that offer support. I have worn Tory Burch flats for years, sacrificing comfort for style.
Wore these to a trade show last week, and they tore my feet apart. Too tight in the toe box, too loose in the heel. Rigid all around, and not comfortable anywhere except for the foot bed, which is nicely padded. The ankle part wraps too high on the ankle, and my toes were so squished that I got awful blisters. I was miserable about an hour into my 10 hour day walking/standing. I have normal width, normally shaped, size 9.5 feet. I really, really wanted to love these, but they were a big fail. Wish I had worn them for more than 10 mins. in my house before traveling with them, so I could have returned.

I am a size 7 narrow. I can't believe the company suggest to order a 1/2 size up. These were big on my feet and wide. Returning.
