Customer Reviews VIONIC Tide

Bought these sandals to deal with plantar fasciitis. Podiatrist had told me o more barefeet' which was my normal mode for walking around the house and I saw samples of these sandals on display in his office. I decided to give them a try. Once I got the right size(s) for my feet these sandals have all but eliminated the pain that I was experiencing in one of my heels. And this improvement has come less than a month after starting to wear these sandals at home on a regular basis. A couple of issues to note: (1) It took a couple of tries to get the right size for my feet. When I ordered online the advice on the order form was to order a half size smaller if the normal shoe size was something and a half. That absolutely did not work for me. Vionic was terrific about exchanging and I soon had a pair that was half a size larger than my normal shoe size. (2) It turned out that because my feet are slightly different sizes the sandals that were correct for the heel with the fasciitis were still too small for my other foot and the arch is so pronounced there was no way I could tolerate a wrong sized sandal on either foot. I discussed the situation with Vionic and they agreed to send (at my expense) another pair a size larger again with the understanding that I could exchange the ones that I had that fit the problematic foot. Turned out that the larger size worked for the larger foot but were wrong for the smaller foot and so I had to essentially buy two pair of sandals to get a pair that would work for me. My complaint here is that Vionic had no ability to provide an off-sized pair that would work for me not even with 'seconds' from the factory or possibly with returns that could not be offered as new product to other customers. So I had to pay for two pair in order to have one pair that works. And these suckers are not inexpensive. But overall I'm happy with what I have purchased. The products when right sized are working wonders for the pain in my one heel and I wear them constantly around the house and (after getting used to the arch support) also am wearing them when I go places away from home. They look decent they have a very comfortable cloth toe divider and they work. And I as mentioned above when there were size issues with the original purchase Vionic was terrific about dealing with exchanges.

I bought these hoping that I'd finally find sandals that fit my feet and were comfortable. I'm a woman have flat feet which pronate and my pedorthist recommended that I try men's shoes as my feet are too wide for women's shoes. So I tried the Men's Tide Toe Post Sandal. The shoe fit everywhere though unfortunately the bands from the post did not lie flat on my foot as my foot isn't thick enough. So the sandal swam on my foot. Every other aspect of the shoe fit: width length great support. The quest continues!

good sandal comfortable but still my foot slides around in them.

Not wide enough unfortunately, though they'd otherwise be perfect. Please start making these in wide!

Vionic does not offer half sizes. My size is a 9.5W, the portal suggested 10. It is way too big!

Love the sandals for comfort (this is second pair I've bought) but the straps on this second pair are much looser than my first pair, so unfortunately the fit is off and the sandals fall off or get tripped up often because straps are too loose (even though shoe size is right)

Footbed isn't that comfortable and the straps are too high, making the sandal dangerous to walk in. However, standing in them feels good for my plantar fasciitis and they have great tread for traction.

I bought these for my husband as a b-day present. We wore them a few days before our beach trip to break them him. While on our trip he wore them to take our dog on a short walk and the flip flops rubbed the top of his feet raw. I think he didn't allow enough time to break them in.

Heels wore out after 6 months but company gave me new one no trouble.

I have had these for a couple of months now and the only downside to them is that they are terrible on wet surfaces. I have tile in my home and if the shoes are even slightly wet I slide all over the place.

Size 12 ...due to support can only wear them about an hour.
