Bought on recommendation for plantar fasciitis. So far they’re great, my heel doesn’t hurt at the end of the day like other shoes. Not a huge fan of the gold accents, but for the comfort and price I’ll live with it.

I had a similar pair of Vionics I bought more than 5 yrs ago that I finally had to “retire”. I was so excited to see that Zappos had two similar styles (this and Amber). I loved the neutrality of the core as you can dress them up or down with my former pair. I debated between this and Amber styles in cork but after reading reviews decided to go with this Farra sandal mainly because of the sole appearing to be more grippy (Amber style had a flower design that looked like it would wear down faster). The buttons are a bit blingy even for me, so I’m hoping they patina to a subtle brassy color but overall I’m very pleased with the look, comfort and style of these Vionics. My last pair had a plastic footbed that was so comfortable . These have a lined footbed over the plastic so theoretically should be even more comfortable. I’m excited about wearing them this summer. I can usually get away with traveling with sneakers and my Vionics so they are well worth the money if these last 5 years like my last pair.

The sole of these is great. The straps don't hit right by my toes. I really have to tighten the back so that my little toe doesn't fall out.

I wanted to love these, because I have Vionic flip flops which have saved my feet, and need comfortable sandals. I typically wear a 6WW shoe. These were wide enough, but a full size too long, and kept tripping me. The arch support didn't seem as high as my other Vionic sandals. Zappos doesn't seem to have another size, or I would try a 5W.

While these are very comfortable, they are quite blingy! They are shiny and distracting, making them look cheap. I'm returning them.

The sandals fit comfortably, but did not look as stylish as I had hoped. Returned them even though felt comfortable when I tried the, on.

It's a very pretty shoe but I feel that the shoes are very heavy and therefore not comfortable to walk around in them for any length of time.
I was sorry I could not wear them with comfort and therefore returned them.
I'd also recommend:

This is a very pretty shoe but it seems to be very heavy when walking. I wear sandals all summer but this shoe will be too uncomfortable due to the heavy soles, therefore I am returning them.
I'd also recommend:
Clarks, Mephistos (I have several pairs) , Sketchers.

Omgoodness! Waaaay too big! I wear size 8, and received size 8, which is at least a full size too big and wide so looks rather clunky on my feet. Yes, there are 3 areas for adjustments, but when the shoe base is too big, those adjustments don't help.

I bought these sandals on clearance (unfortunately, not from Zappos--I won't make that mistake again!) because I have loved every pair of Vionics I have owned in the past. I have plantar fasciitis, and was thrilled to find sandals with enough arch support that were also cute and stylish, and not super heavy. I love my Danskos, but sometimes you just want something a little more delicate looking!
Unfortunately, the back strap and fasteners hit at a really bad spot on my ankle bone. I've tried lapping the velcro looser or tighter, or at a different angle, and no matter how I fasten it, they rub my ankle, and I end up feeling bruised and chafed. I can wear them briefly if I'm not walking much, but they are not the all-day comfort of my past Vionics. I'm so disappointed.

Very comfortable. I didn't like velcro though. It is OK for fine tuning the width but it didn't seem strong enough to hold the main closure - it was already popping off in the few minutes I tried them on. It really needs a solid clasp for that closure. I returned them.

I returned this shoes. I purchased Vionic Amber before so I was looking forward to adding a new style to my wardrobe. I retuned them for two reasons. 1. The quality of these newer ones was not as good as my older Vionic Amber. pairs 2. The main reason I had to return was that I have very narrow feet. I always have to get adjustable shoes and tighten the straps. My feet slipped right through even when I tightened the straps. My feet don't slip through with the Vionic Amber shoes. I guess the extra strap helps hold them in the shoe. I can tighten the Amber sufficiently without being too tight but not with the Farra.

This looks cuter online than in person. It is a little cheesy looking. The material is shiny and that's what makes it look a little cheap.

They felt good altho not as cushy as some other vionics. If you pull the straps tight because your feet are on the smaller size, the ends of the straps protrude too far out to give it a nice clean look. But the biggest problem was that the first time I wore these was to a wedding, and one of the silver discs came out never to be found again. Would’ve kept them otherwise as a shoe to dress up casual clothes.

These sandals fit true to size. The arch support is really good, but the sole of the shoe feels very thin. I generally wear motion control athletic shoes for severe over pronation. I'm trying to find a sandal for warm weather that will provide as much arch support and ordered these after researching the best sandal for flat feet. Sadly, I find these unattractive, too much bling and not enough cushion on the sole to jusify the dollars spent, although, the arch support is better than anything I've tried so far. Back they go--thank goodness for Zappos free shipping and generous return policy. I'll keep trying until I find a shoe with great arch support and will keep my feet cool in hot weather.

The arch support on this sandal is quite good. I wish the style were as good. I thought it was a rather unattractive shoe. Liked the looks of it on your website. I'm returning them.

I always love Vionic! They are so comfortable and great for plantar fasciitis. These were not as supportive and I didn't like the feel of the sole. They hit my bunion area in the wrong place and were not attractive.

These are lovely shoes but the arch didn’t hit me in the right place. I ordered both sizes 6 and 6.5 and they are both wrong, one slightly too short, the other slightly too big. For this shoe, I would need a 6.25!

This fit like a 71/2. I can be in between an 8 & 71/2. I was debating whether an 8 would be too big bit in the end decided it was too shiny for my outfit and am returning. I would LOVE this style in a matte leather and brushed nickel bling

I ordered a size 7.5 D and they were very long. They also looked kinda cheap. I bought a pair of red earth shoes sandals instead.

Adorable, comfortable shoe......WHY did the designer put those massive, HUGE SHINY gold discs on top!!!
An antiqued brass would have been amazing, but these large, bright shiny discs are like headlights!!! What a shame, as the red patent looks great, and the shoe itself is really comfortable. Sorry, but these have to go back
