Customer Reviews VIONIC Samoa

I have been wearing Vionic house slippers for at least five years. The Vionic slippers have incredible support, so I expected the same in their brand of sandals. The Vionic Samoa sandals that I purchased fit well...I chose a size 9, as I usually wear a 9.5 Wide. While the sandals have adjustable straps, subtle "bling", and are easy to slip on, the sole is thinner than I expected. I am used to wearing Munro American & Romika sandals, which also have good support and much thicker soles. I gave these Vionic sandals 4 stars, but that could just be my personal preference regarding the soles. Thank you, Zappos, for the quick overnight service using UPS. As always, your customer service is phenomenal.

I wear a 9, ordered this in a 9,M. It fit perfectly. I have a wide foot with some bunions (not too bad). The M fit perfect and I did not adjust the strap at all. If you have a narrow foot, this may not be the shoe for you. I don't think the arch is as great as it was on my Orthaheels, but I am going to order these in another color. I do think they are overpriced, Orthaheel was less expensive.

I love this shoe, but for me the arch is very high and couldn't keep it. If you need a high arch this is a great shoe otherwise.

Thank goodness for the adjustable straps or there is no way I could wear these shoes! My feet are very narrow and I was disappointed that I could not wear other Vionic shoes. However, these fit because of the velcro fasteners and I don't care if they make my feet look wide because they are so comfortable!

I love these shoes, however, they are so big and so wide they fall off. I have a wide foot, usually double D. Also, they are not as feminine as I thought, but that would not deter me from keeping them otherwise.

I have a pair of Vionic sandals, so I thought this pair would work, but sadly, I needed to return. My foot did not feel supported and it looked a bit old-ladyish and clunky on me.

little too long.

I have 3 pairs of this style and thought that this style would make a wonderful birthday gift for my mother. It turned out that the sandal did not fit well. The length was perfect, arch support great, the strap nearest the ankle had adjustability, but the strap closest to the toes have to much length to it. When she tried to adjust the front strip there was not enough Velcro to cinch down the strap. She was disappointed and so was I. She is only a size up from me, so I had ordered her a size 8. The size 7 front straps has the perfect amount of strap to Velcro ratio, so I couldn't figure why the size 8 had so much more strap length to it and not enough Velcro to cinch it tighter. She had to return it.

Not crazy about the microfiber that lines the foot bed. It doesn’t allow a good grip feel. I’ve had a pair in the past with this same material and in the summer months even though the sandal is open, it feels very muggy, but slippery. Also, even though there is lots of arch contouring, the entire sole is so flexible that it really doesn’t come into play once your weight is on the sandal. If these two things were corrected, I would be very happy. I’ve got a ton of Vionic flip flops (Tide style) which are great all around. Vionic, please improve.

Ordered two sizes. This one was too short and the other a size 10 was too long and way too wide, even with the strap adjusted a lot.

These sandals are very comfortable but too much bling for me. Also straps were wider than I would like.

Beautiful shoe -- too bad it wasn't wide enough.

I have long narrow feet with a very high arch. These were recommended to my by a shoe owner who specializes in fitting difficult feet. I typically wear 10 1/2 or 11 in a woman's shoe and a mens 101/2 running shoe. This sandal was very large and wide. After reading reviews I ordered a size 10. Without having half sizes I would have had to try a size 9. The arch was fine. Due to problems with fitting, I decided to return them and see if I can find them locally. Zappos is a great site and I typically buy shoes here.

The positive is they are Velcro the negative is the Velcro cut into my foot i have a wide short foot the support seemed great tho sadly they have to be returned

Way too wide for my foot.

Cute, bu seemed sort of clunky on my already large size 9W feet.

Shoe can be worn with casual or slightly dressy clothes. Velcro allows for a wider or narrower foot. I have a bunion so my foot was pushed to the right; it didn't look right. I am returning them.

Comfortable but big problems! This shoe is covered in all these tiny little gold caps which pull, rub and fall off so easily. It only took a few wearings before they were looking just awful. Back they go! What's happened to quality shoe making?

I usually have to order a wide so my foot won't fall off the sandal. I felt like these were wider than "Fred Flintstone" shoes. I was disappointed. They are going back. True to Vionic Support tho...Overall star is one...it wouldn't let me change it...

I wish I could have kept these. They were comfortably wide and the velcro was great to adjust with. The insoles felt so comfortable like they wouldn't have been hot... except for one dealkiller. I don't know what those little nubs on the insole are supposed to do, but they hurt the bottoms of my toes! I guess my feet must be sensitive since everyone else seems to like them. These were definitely a no-go for me.

I wanted to like this shoe but it was just too big - the smaller size would have made my foot fall over the edge, but the width, even with the straps adjusted, was just too wide (and I have wide feet but I guess they are bony) so the shoe would fall off as I walked. Too bad, I like Vionic arch support and wanted a shoe with something other than the rubber footbed on the Tide sandal - so I had high hopes, but did not work for me.

Loved the shoes. Too bad they didn't fit right. I usually get wide width. But since I read these run wide I went with regular width. That part fit fine. They do run wide. I have very high arches. The top strap wasn't long enough to tighten over my foot.

I ended up returning these sandals because the top strap hit my foot at a bad spot and would have caused blisters. They were otherwise nice though the studs were a bit too shiny for me.

I've been wanting to buy a pair of Vionic shoes b/c they have amazingly comfortable arch support for my troubled feet (plantar fasciitis). But I can see now that the styles (I've tried several) are too blingy for me. Too much bedazzlement. In addition, the straps on this particular style look really thick and sort of puffy on my feet. Too bad. Returning.

I was really surprised at how odd these feel to walk in. I typically love Vionic shoes and sandals. These fit, but felt like I was going to kick them off my feet with each step. I had the straps as tight as they can comfortably go. The shape of the sole felt... odd. They felt like I was walking on a bumpy sole. I'm typically a 7.5 and got a 7 because I know that Vionic sandals don't come in half sizes and it's best in this brand to size down. I have a medium width foot and the width felt fine. I really wanted to love these because they really would have been exactly what I've been looking for with my wardrobe. Back they go.
