Customer Reviews VIONIC Josie

These are great looking shoes with the perfect sexy kitten heel, but they do not have the arch support that I buy Vionics for. The footbed padding is thin, and the pointed toe was too narrow for me, too. Great looking, but definitely not a comfortable shoe if that's what you need.

I ordered the wide (normally I buy a medium and stretch the toe box), and the toe box was perfect without stretching! But, the shoe gapped on the sides near my instep. Also, I’m reliably a size 11, and this shoe was about 1/2 size too long. I didn’t think the toe box was too long...I couldn’t see my toes at all! Love the beautiful red color, but the gapping at the instep and length just didn’t work and they didn’t have a 10.5. Sadly had to return.

These were too tight in the toe box for me. However, the arch support was beyond compare for a shoe in this style. My foot felt extremely supported!

Lovely shoe! I originally ordered a size 6 which was too large. Unfortunately, the size 5 was just a tad bit too small. A 5.5 would have been ideal, but that size is not made. Zappos returns made the return very easy and convenient. The customer service when I called was excellent and reaffirmed why I use Zappos!

This is a lovely shoe and stylish especially for people like me with foot problem like the neuroma that I have. It can be excrutiating to put any pressure on the ball of my foot so happy to see that kitten heels are available now -Last year could not find any. Disappointing however is how tight and non-uniform the sizing is. I own three vionic sandals that are awesome and run a bit large. I found these to be either true to size or tight. I have a slim foot and low depth foot but the regular width was fine. I think they are a bit too pointy and squoosh the toes some but I am keeping them. I am keeping the taupe suede in size 8 - my regular size. The black suede in 8 was too tight. I exchanged for black leather non suede in 8.5 since they were all sold out of 8.5 in the suede styles. I am keeping the black leather in 8.5. Advice is to either order two sizes or go up a half size. Style is very nice - good for dresses or slacks and not frumpy in the least.

Loved the style of these shoes and really wanted them to work, but the toe box was too narrow for me.

Just not my style. Felt like I teetered on the tiny little heel and the front was so pointy I felt like an elf.

My toes were squeezed (and I don't normally have an issue with that). The arch support was better than nothing, but not actually good.

The shoe fit was smaller than I anticipated, the toe area was very tight. I would not put this particular shoe in the comfort category.

odd shade of navy, almost grey rather than navy

I have a pair of Vionic ballet slippers that I love and can wear all day long. I wanted to love these, but they were disappointing. I bought them for my son's high school graduation and could barely walk by the end of the night. We live in New York City, there is a lot of walking, and these just didn't hold up.

I really wanted to like these shoes, they are adorable. But alas, the leather on these is very stiff and unforgiving on the feet. The wide width is great, however my feet slid forward in the shoes, which severely crunched my feet. Very painful.Yet, I need the wide. So, I returned. Love the look though - very cute shoes.

I have three pairs of these shoes - black, gray and denim - and, so far, the heel tips have come off two of them (the denim happened today as I was coming back to my office from lunch). I suspect it will happen with the third pair, too, so I'm going to head them off at the pass and get those tips replaced before it happens. My shoe guy says they're cheap, plastic heel tips. Very annoying considering the price of these shoes. Not only is the sound of one shoe clicking on the floor obnoxious but it's dangerous to walk on as the tip-less heels are very slippery. Aside from that, the shoes are fine - sexy without being obvious and comfortable enough to wear all day. But about those heel tips........

These shoes are bunion eaters. Enough said. Returning them.

These were very narrow and squished my toes up into the triangle toe box. Such a bummer because they are super cute and so well made!

These were exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I am a true size 5.5. The 5 was too tight and the 6 too large. I'm disappointed that Vionic doesn't make a size 5.5.

I don't see anyone else mentioning this, but the arch support in the size 11 seems to be a little too far back - it is almost under by heel. I have several pairs of Vionics shoes and I generally love them, but this is the second pair with this issue. I have only worn them for one day with no problems, other than the weird sensation of the arch location, but I am wondering if having this ridge under the edge of my heel will eventually rub and cause blisters. Otherwise the shoes are cute and supportive. My regular size fits fine, in spite of the pointed toe - but you might want to try a half size larger if you are worried about toes pinching.

This is a lovely shoe. Soft leather, great color. I ordered a 6 1/2 W and it fit perfectly well and did not show toe cleavage. I do wear a 6 1/2 W shoe; didn't order up despite the pointed toe-there was plenty of room in the toe box. Unfortunately I returned them. I own several styles of Vionic and I just felt this pump was not up to their comfort standards. While the heel and arch are well supported, there's nothing separating the front of your foot and your toes from the hard ground other than the thinnest piece of leather. For this reason they were returned, as I know my feet will hurt if wearing these on hard surfaces. For the amount they cost there should be more padding in this area, in my opinion. Will keep looking for a comfortable nude colored pointed toe kitten heel pump. Cannot say enough good things about Zappos. Their return policy and customer service commitment are unmatched. I have found three pair of very high heels comfortable enough to wear at all three of my children's weddings thanks to Zappos, not to mention all the sneakers, sandals and flats I've bought. Zappos is my go-to for shoes!

I have several pairs of Vionic flip flops and a pair of Vionic slippers. LOVE them all so I had high hopes for these pumps. One of them felt great but the arch support thing (very firm arch supports in these shoes)in the other shoe hit my foot in the wrong place and was painful. Had to return.

The shoe is stylish with design covering more of the top of my foot than I wanted it to. Also, the arch support hit my foot in a weird spot that did not match my arch. Unfortunately, they are going back.

I loved this shoe. The arch support was great but I have a very wide toe box and it was not wide enough. I wish it came in a double wide or a true wide width.

I bought my usual size in Vionic, a 6W. These were so tight I could barely put them on. The toes pinched like crazy. I would have given 0 stars for comfort if I could have. Too bad, cause they're cute.

toe box is too tight have to return

This is shoe is made from gorgeous soft leather, but I was expecting much better arch support and comfort from the Vionic brand, and I was willing to spend $139.95 for a pair of shoes that I'll only wear a couple of times a year. This did not live up to my expectations and they are being returned.

I love these shoes. I’ve bought them in every color - however I’m ver disappointed to say I’ve had 2 pairs where the heel snapped off after only a few wears.
