Customer Reviews VIONIC High Tide

Great flip flop with excellent arch support. They do run wide. I have a narrow foot and they were so wide my foot slid from side to side causing a loss of stability.

These were pretty comfy. Good support and I liked the look. But they felt heavy, and I ended up going with the Hoka slides because they had a lot more support and just felt better overall. These were cuter, but I had to go with comfort level

Very stylish and comfortable. I have not worn them much so I can’t say how they will be long term.

These feel good. I have high arches and there's good support for them.

I went with a size 5 when I normally wear a 5.5. Perfect fit! I wear them around the house too for the support. They are very firm, so if you want a soft sole, these are not for you. I really like them.

I typically take a 9 in the Tide (I wear a 9.5). I am returning for a size 10.

I ordered a 10 W and this shoe and was really looking forward to them. The base of the shoe was a little narrower than I would have expected. This would have been ok had the T strap not been too tight and constricting. For a wide foot, it didn't seem like the thong part was adjusted for the wide size. It was clear that I would have had blisters on the part where the thong hit my foot if I had kept them. Very disappointed.

I have narrow feet so the fact I could adjust these sandals is perfect. Not that keen on the alligator leather look but the are comfortable and give me a little height!

I have always liked Vionic shoe support and comfort. This style was too big even though I ordered my usual size, so the arch support was hitting my foot in the wrong places. I really like the style and versatility of this shoe.

These shoes provide support for your arches like no other I have tried.

Very nice shoe. The only problem I had, which caused me to return them, was that the foot bed was very slippery. It is plastic type of material with not tread pattern or anything on it, so my foot slipped easily out of the shoe. It was very noticeable the moment I tried it on, so it was returned immediately without wearing.

My first pair of Vionics after slipping on a friend’s pair and loving the high arch support, and together we agreed I was the same size, an 8, which I ordered. I’m not sure if I got EXACT same style of basic flip flop as hers, but I am a little bit disappointed how much room there is ABOVE my foot- like I wish the straps were shorter! And I definitely have a high instep, so this is a surprise. The extra room makes the shoe move quite a bit on my foot, so I’m not sure I’m enjoying all the “alignment benefits” Vionics boasts. Now I see others have left similar comments.

I bought these to help with my plantar fasciitis. They made my feet sore at first but overall help support my arch which aggravates my PF less than wearing a regular flip flop. I ordered a whole size down and wide width because they ran large in length but narrow in the width.

My only complaint is that my foot was falling forward due to the size fell a little larger even though the size was my size normally. It ended up causing me a blister wearing them. The arch was perfect though and style was adorable.

They were cute and had moderate support but the wide was not wide enough. They had to be returned for the unisex version.

Wow! The arch support on these was hands down the best I'd ever experienced in a moderately-priced summer sandal. I've had sneakers and other shoes that offered support, but to find a comfortable, supportive pair of *stylish* summer sandals like this was a real bonus. I bought these before a trip to Philadelphia where I planned to wear them while touring the city. This worried me incessantly, because I'd never found ANY shoe - even sneakers - that would still feel good at the end of an 8-hour day of sightseeing. So much so that I brought my sneakers as back up in the event I needed to change into them halfway through the day. I needn't have worried. Walking in these shoes was as close to heaven as I'll probably ever get, footwear-wise! The only thing is that I found this shoe to run large, both in length and width. I normally wear an 11W, which I purchased. I should have gone down at least to a 10.5 for the best fit. Otherwise, I can't say enough good things about these sandals! I plan to buy another pair and look at Vionic's entire line of shoes for other options for my problem feet.

The cork version of the High Tide fits much looser than my other High Tides (I have 3). I actually tried 2 different pairs in the cork, and the straps on both were too loose. Also, the color of the footbed has an odd orange hue. I returned the cork version due to both fit and color; however, my other Hide Tides are my favorite summer shoes. Great arch support, and I love the height lift. Wish Vionic would offer the High Tide in a soft taupe or champagne - either would work nicely with khaki shorts.

Wow - this foot bed is an absolute dream for someone like me, with high arches. It's the first time I have tried on shoes with such fantastic, comfortable high-arch support. (And these shoes are gorgeous! I got the black/leopard.) Sadly, however, I needed to return them because the upper part of the shoe (the strap) was not as comfortable as I had anticipated. The strap felt a little rough, as well as snug, and I knew before long the top of my foot would be really sore. I normally wear a size 8.5, but I sized down to an 8 (as suggested), so maybe it's just a sizing issue? I have a medium/narrow foot, so I'm not sure if the ordering the wide would have helped. Also, my feet didn't feel as secure in platform shoes with a thin flip-flop strap, as opposed to a wider upper that comes higher up on the foot (as in the other Vionic platforms, like the Marbella or Naples). As beautiful as these High Tide leopard sandals are, I hated returning them. I'm hoping to soon order the Tide Sport or Tide II to see if the fit in a flatter shoe (with a similar high arch foot-bed) might be more comfortable. Crossing my fingers.... :)

Super cute! However, my foot slipped around in the width.

Had to return. Too narrow

Ordered these on the recommendation of a friend who is a fan of this brand. Recommendation was based on the amount of support the sandal offers and that I need excellent arch support. I normally wear Fitflops for this same reason. The sandal delivers in the support and the style is very cute. I did not find that it was too wide or narrow, fit my foot securely. I am returning for two reasons. First, I prefer a more "secure" fit as my ankles turn quite easily, especially on a platform shoe. I prefer a sandal with a strap across the top of the foot for the stability it provides. Normally a thick strap will accomplish the same but these did not lock in for me. Secondly, when I walked they made a loud noise as they hit my foot. I have since ordered a Dansco flip flop to see if I like those better.

I am very happy with this flip flop! I am normally a 9 1/2 but after reading other reviews ordered the 9 and it fits perfect. I have been looking for a flip flop with better arch support and have tried some other brands, but this has more support than any I have tried. My friend has both the low tide and high tide, and we both agree that the high tide has better support and having the heel raised up a bit seems to help to fight plantar fasciitis. I do have to be a little more careful as it has more side to side motion than a lower heel, but this is a pretty easy adjustment.

Sandal fit well as expected, not as comfortable as I had hoped , no cushion on foot bed , also no lining on footbed. Not sure if this is an improvement or not . Past Vionic sandals became stinky ,bad odor most likely due to fabric lining of insole. Also these sandals add a good two inches to my total height, was not expecting that .

I love these shoes, but they were actually a little bit too wide. And the funny part is I usually need a good wide shoe! I went with the regular width that fits much better!

Fit was on point and they are not only comfortable but very eye catching!!! Could wear them all day! Exactly what I needed!!!
