Customer Reviews VIONIC Kea

Despite getting a W, these were quite tight. And a very aggressive arch. There is definitely an inconsistency in arches from shoe to shoe in Vionics. I got a pair of slides (Samoa) at the same time and the arch is no where near as pronounced. These Keas are going back, and I'm keeping the Samoas.

Heel hits too high & tight. Returning for refund. Thanks.

I wear the Kea in two colors on a daily basis. They have saved my back and my feet. However, for some very odd reason, the solid black shoes fit very differently than the gray and navy. They feel narrower (I wear the wide) and shorter. I just cannot seem to get a good fit. I’m baffled by this but most of all extremely disappointed as I live in my Vionic Kea shoes. Sadly, back they go...I’m wondering: has anyone else had my experience?

I have several Vionic styles and was really looking forward to these easy slip-ons for a quick walk around campus but was disappointed in the style and fit. I have a higher instep and found these hard to get on even with the stretchy gusset and were tight across the top of my foot with just a thin sock on. There was plenty of extra space in the toe box so going up a size will make them too long. The sizing was just weird - it's like they were too small and too big at the same time. Got the solid black, not cute IRL. Sending back :(

Cute summer shoe but much too big in the heel for me. Liked the color and support and wish it could have worked.

Not very comfortable and makes my size 10 feet look like canoes. Too narrow in the toes.

Love a lot about this shoe, but I walked out them due to my narrow heels. Had to buy heel supplements to wear. I must say that the arch support is so good I can forgive a lot about this shoe, now that I've solved the width problem.

I bought these in Navy and Black. The navy fit really well with good arch support but I really didn't like the color so I got the black. Very strange but the arch was so out of place, it was really far back toward the heel and was uncomfortable. Other than that I really liked them so I'm disappointed to be sending them back. The color was nice though for the black. I don't know what is up with the arch as I've NEVER had this problem before. I think another reviewer mentioned this also.

I wanted these shoes to work for me so badly! I ordered both the 8.5 and 8 (I usually wear 8.5), but my heel slipped in both sizes. I do not have a narrow heel and this usually isn't a problem for me. These were so comfortable and I considered keeping them anyway, but there's no way I could ever get used the the shoe sliding all the way off my heel with each step. Disappointed.

The arch support is not where it should be. It is too far back.

Ordered 1/2 size up as many reviews suggested. The shoe fit on my right foot but was too short on the left. Both left and right were weirdly loose in the heels. Going back!

Love these shoes, they are cute with leggings and very comfortable if you need a good arch shoe. But they stink! I have never had shoes that smell this bad so soon after I purchased them. I have read the orthotics by Vionic also have smell problems. I would like to buy more Vionic shoes, but will wait until I solve this problem. Also, none of my other shoes smell.

The sole under the heel is thicker than underneath the ball of the foot, and it made the shoe look clunky and like a slip-on athletic shoe. The 7W, the size I most often wear, was too long, and the arch support too far back toward the heel. The 6.5W was a better fit and the location of the arch support was better but still too far back. Tom's Avalon slip-on and Sanuk Brook TX are similar in style and are more graceful-looking. They have less support but can accommodate orthotics.

Liked shoe but have to return it. I am normally a 7.5W in a sneaker but the top is tight and my heel is coming up in the back. Too bad it didn't fit well really liked the shoe itself

Very narrow.Ordered my usual size, but could not even get it on my foot.

These are too big - slipping and not comfortable. I tried without socks, thin socks and even thick socks. I wanted to like them but can't.

Arch support was too far back toward my heel. Loved the shoe and it worked great when I took out the insole and inserted my Walking Company insoles. But not worth the money if I have to change out the insole. Size was perfect.

I returned this shoe. I ordered my regular size 9W and it seemed to run very small. I struggled to get it on, and then the material at the back of my ankle turned inside the shoe. There was no easy way to pull it out - the pull tab at the back is not at the very top of the shoe so was somewhat ineffective. I have many pairs of Orthaheel shoes - love the arch support - but I have noticed they just don't seem to have the athletic styles designed correctly.

I love Vionic sandals, but have had no luck with closed shoes. I have ordered 2 different styles. Both were very wide, clunky, hard to walk in. This style in particular had wide heels and was just clunky and awkward looking. Over-all, they were just too wide. Good arch support, but that doesn't do any good if you can't keep the shoes on. I have an average width foot (not narrow feet.) I sent these back.

I've ordered size 10 from Orthaheel for years without any problems, but the last two pair since they changed their name to Vionic have been off. All of my Orthaheel shoes, most in excellent condition now after two or more years of use, fit wonderfully. This shoe is a good half size shorter and the arch support insole is not the arch support insoles of old. Not sure what's happening since they claim that the company becoming Vionic was a name change only and not a change in ownership or manufacturing. I'm just going to stick with their Relief orthotic insoles from now on and stick them in other manufacturers' shoes. As for style, this shoe looks more like a man's shoe or a house slipper.

These are really comfortable. But for me, I need more of a heal thickness. I also experienced so sort of skin irritation(blisters formed) on top of both feet. It was from where the label was placed. A medical professional said that it was a chemical burn. I owed quite a large selection of tennis shoes and this has never happened before. These were my very first pair of vionics.

Comfortable everywhere but in the heel and it slipped when I walked. Will have to return. But love Vionic sandals!

Felt great in the width, and fantastic arch support but feet slipped a bit -- will try 1/2 size smaller.

Extremely narrow.

The shoe was just too large and the arch support was not the same quality as Vionic sandals. I wear orthodics so look to Vionic to have the arch support that my orthodics would have. Sorry so I had to return them.
