Customer Reviews VIONIC Samoa

I have plantar fasciitis, a screwed up right ankle (wearing orthotics or shoes with orthotic footbeds keep me from needing surgery) and variable veinous insufficiency (swollen feet/ankles/legs). To say I have a hard time getting shoes that work for me is an understatement. I'd pretty much resigned myself to only wearing Naots, since they seemed to be the only brand that worked for me (and I do love them) but I wanted something simpler and sportier. I found these Vionic slides and ordered the silver. I've not had much luck with Vionic in the past--the arch support was not hardcore enough--but thought I would try them again These are amazing. Walking on them is like not walking on anything at all (only with none of the pain that actual barefoot walking causes). I've since ordered them in every color. They do run a bit big but since the arch support seems to hit me in the correct place, I'm not worrying about it. What I love is that both straps are fully adjustable so that no matter if I have a normal foot or a totally swollen one, these shoes work and they are super easy to adjust. The one complaint is that where the straps meet over the toes, I do get some rubbing from the underneath strip. I may go to moleskin or some other tactic to combat that. So far it is my only complaint.

These are so comfy! Great arch support and the sole feels like it's very shock absorbent. They don't make that flip flop noise and they look great with slacks, so they're a good choice for the office. I normally wear an 8.5 or an 8W, and the size 8 is perfect in these.

I have plantar fasciitis and got these shoes to help with that. I wear them anytime I am in the house. I believe they have helped my feet feel better. My only complaint about these shoes are that they seem to have no antimicrobial in the footbed and in the month I have worn them, they are very smelly!

Extremely comfortable, felt like slippers from the first time I put them on. The suede foot bed is soft and feels great on your feet. I bought 3 pair! I had Plantar Factitious. The great arch in all the Vionic shoes/sandals helped with the recovery process. No more heel pain

This shoe has excellent arch support and it was comfortable, but coming out of the box I was very disappointed with their appearance. When I put them on my feet, they looked like two huge clodhoppers! Oversized and clumsy looking in my opinion....going back.

Great summer sandal for anyone with a wide foot, ordered a 8 Wide and fits great. Normally I would take an 8.5 or 9 if the wide width is not available. It's also a good looking shoe!

My new favorite sandal! It's like walking barefoot (only more comfortable)! It's lovely to look at, and it's a perfect fit!

Adjustable slides with good arch are difficult to find, but these fit the bill. They are comfortable and have a lot of support. I returned two pairs of slide from other brands because they had no arch support. I am going to order more colors in these.

I love this sandal! Not only does it have a bit of glitz and glam but it also has exceptional arch support. I wore it straight out of the box for the entire day without any problems—no break in period or soreness. It’s hard to find a navy sandal so if this is something you’re looking for, buy this shoe—you won’t be disappointed.

This is a great shoe. However it comes in whole sizes only. I wear a 7.5 W in vionic. I ordered an 8 W at the suggestion of another web site showing the same shoe. It is far too large. I believe the 7.5 W will work fine. The Velcro straps secure my foot very comfortably with very little movement considering it is a slide style. Very attractive

So comfy. Have a botched toe surgery and not many sandals/shoes are comfy or wide enough!!! Been wearing vionics for a few yrs. The best!

This is my second pair of Vionic sandals. They are so comfortable and have great support for my arches. I've found after ordering my second pair that they do run just a bit large and I ordered a half size down for good measure. They really hold up to all types of wear and weather.

Love these! So comfortable and most important adjustable. I have wide feet and it's not easy to find comfortable shoes. I'm my feet all day and I wore my new Vionic shoes for 10 hours. These are a keeper!

Beautiful shoe! It runs large, mostly in width. Slipped off foot as I walked while testing it out.

Super cute! Comfy to walk around the house right out of the box. The strap across the middle of my foot was tight, however, with the velcro it was easily adjusted. I’d say the arch support is between moderate & excellent. I haven’t worn them for a prolonged period of time, but so far seem to have decent support while being soft/comfortable. Looks great with skinny jeans and you can probably wear them with a cute summer dress/skirt. I usually wear a 7-7 1/2 in sandals and the 7 fit me well with a little extra room at the front — I hate when it looks like your toes are hanging over the edge! I ordered the gold color which looks like a light champagne — very nice!

Tried them on and didn't want to take them off! I think they're going to be my favorites for the year.

Vionic is a great shoe for problemed feet. The deeper heel cup and good arch support helps relieve fasciitis problems. I like that these sandals have adjustable straps placed in good supportive positions. The footbed seems a little slippery but I am hoping this will lessen with wear. I would love to see a platform with slide straps.

I ordered the gold bubbles looking sandal. This sandal is great for someone with a wide foot and high arch. I ordered wide b/c I usually need to order wide, but this sandal is wide enough in regular width. Very comfortable foot bed and underneath of the adjustable front strap. Really pretty style.

These are great! The wide fits my foot that recently had surgery and still swells, but I can tighten the other one to fit more securely. Very comfortable. The coral and gold was not a good color for me so I exchanged it for the pewter color.

I've already got several pairs of closed shoes from Vionic that are fantastic, so when I saw this style which is super cute I was hoping for the best with these as well. Turned out they were a pretty weird fit - I normally wear a 7.5W in sandals and an 8W in shoes, so purchased a 7.5W and despite having a fairly wide foot these had enormous footbeds. Felt more like a snowshoe than a sandal, and even stranger, it was like my feet was angled in them. I couldn't get either foot to line up properly in the shoe, they kept shifting slightly so that the toes were pointed out a bit and the heels rotated in. Vaguely like first position in ballet, if that's familiar to you. I've not really experienced this before in a shoe and am guessing that it was due to the pattern bumps in the sole plus the incredible amount of space available! Sadly, they had to go back. I considered getting a M width but since the foot placement was off it just seemed like a return was a better choice. All that said, they really are cute and I wish I could have kept them!

These are not so cute. Old school. Ecco won out this time, far more comfortable than this Vionic. I have Vionic flip flops that are super comfortable. Not these.

This shoe is cute and straps adjustable--but just hit my bunion in the wrong place. Have to have a sandal that the strap covers it or is just above or below it.

beautiful shoes but my narrow feet shifted in shoe, even at tightest setting.

Look nice but soles too thin. Only suitable for walking indoors.

I wear these for the support but they need to be made of leather and the Velcro needs to go down further. I have narrow feet and had to pay to have extra added. It would be nice if you would make narrow sizes. Lost of us have narrow feet and struggle to find shoes that fit.
