Very disappointed in product now. They are not the shoe I have worn for years. Straps are loose, arch not as good and too wide and after wearing awhile they stretch out even more. Please change back to your original great sandal.

I purchased these last season on Zapos last summer. They are a nice shoe. Fit is ok I would like the side straps (thong) part to come back a bit further on the foot. But other than that they were ok. Wore them once or twice a week. all summer

I have suffered from plantar fasciitis so I purchased these to wear around the house and for errands. While I don't have foot pain they aren't very comfortable. The straps seem to big and my feet slosh around and move a lot and at times squeak if any sweat or moisture. I do t love them and the soless are very hard. It is hard to tell in store when you try them on for few minutes.

Ran a little big for me, I had foot surgery and one foot is now much bigger then the other non surgery one. Also the foot bed was a little hard for me.

Not the same as my other Tides. These are slimmer and tighter for some reason. They were on close-out, maybe that's why?

A very nice shoe. The sole fit perfectly, but the strap was much larger than my foot and had no way to adjust its fit between the sole and the toe. It will nicely fit someone with a more rounded foot than mine.

Shoes are beautiful, love the style. BUT they are heavy and for this reason.

Purchase mistake for me. I knew there's a reason for calling such "flip flops". I just don't like the flopping experience.

The toe fabric cut a bit too much into my skin while taking a few steps.

Ran large, so not the same size or as arch-supportive as the same shoe in black that I'd borrowed from my mom. Kept them because I was desperate for any relief from my plantar fascitis,, but could only wear them around the house since they were too large to stay on well.

These are comfortable and the arch support really helps my hips and knees. I actually bought 2 more pairs of Vionic shoes. They are also comfortable but don't have as high of an arch as these. These sandals, however, have begun to crack where they bend under the ball of my foot. I have only had them for 6 weeks or so. For the price, this should not happen! I'd like to keep purchasing Vionic for the arch support but not am very disappointed that these are cracking.

I have purchased 8-10 pairs of these sandals over the years. This latest pair has a footbed and arch support that is less supportive than any others I have. So disappointed in this change.

Tides run large in the toe strap width and these sandals are wider than the other Vionic ones. Keeping this pair because I love the tortoise shell look but my foot slides around quite a bit in them. Have quite a few pairs of Tides since that was their main flip flop for years but now that they have other styles I like the Layne because it fits snugger and is better for narrow feet.

This slide is very hard on the feet. It is uncomfortable for those with flat feet. The Velcro is nice as it allows adjustment of width.

The sole of the foot felt too stiff, it felt like the sandle arch was drilling into my arch. It made it very uncomfortable and even painful the longer i tried to walk in it at home

I have a black pair, although I love the fit, the part my toes dont cover, faded and now it looks like that part is dirty, dusty..a litter color.

Loved the color but, had to return them. It was too tight on my foot and did not come in a wide.

I love Vionics and have so many pairs but the change in their manufacturing of the shoe is disappointing. They are not as cushiony and the depth of the heel is not as deep anymore. I don't even think the arch is as high as it is on my older pairs of the same style sandal. I really love the Tide with the higher heal, but the strap needs to be soft inside so it wont rub. Please go back to the way you made them about six years ago, Vionic.

I love Vionic shoes! They are usually very comfortable. Although I've worn similar Vionic sandals for years, I'm returning this shoe because I need a little more support on the heel. The return process has been very easy. I plan to continue ordering Vionic sandals.

I've worn Orthaheel Tide II flip flops for years and have 8 different colors. They've been very comfortable especially with my high arch. I can wear them all day and they still feel great at the end of it. I've always taken very good care of my shoes but my Navy ones have been my 'go to' and most frequently worn and have finally have almost worn out. So I ordered the now 'Vionic' Navy Tide II and am so disappointed! The footbed fit is not nearly as comfortable as the Orthaheels and the Navy ones have what appears to be black patent leather very wide decorative strips with a big rectangular block in the center at the toe post. Why in the world would you put black decoration on Navy Tides?? If I had wanted black I would have ordered the black shoes! One would think the Navy color would come with matching Navy trim as they always did. And why was it necessary to put that huge rectangular block in the center of the trim? The old style in my opinion looked much better. I also didn't see anything in the description indicating the trim was black but maybe I missed that. In any case even though the company name has changed they've also changed the two most important qualities of the original Tide shoe...the comfortable footbed and the matching and much less obtrusive trim. These are going back and I REALLY hope the rest of my Orthaheels last a long long time!

What happened to all the colors these used to come in? Yes I want black and white. But I also want back the blues and reds and the others. What happened?!

I guess I have have a narrow top to bottom foot. I thought the show was cute the footbed and arch support comfortable but ultimately the straps around my feet where just too loose so I kept scrunching my toes to hold the shoe in place instead of allowing the shoe to hug the top of my foot. Alas they went back but liked that there is a 30 day return!

I ordered an 11M and a 12M. Both pairs were much too large. I hope Vionic makes more styles in narrow. I like the support offered by Vionic shoes; however, most shoes are too wide. I hade some other flip flops from this collection and although somewhat wide; they were my go to shoes for relaxing at home.
I'd also recommend:
some Naot, Vaneli, Trotters, Munro

I bought this shoe last year & there's only one problem that I've had with it- the toe post is set too far back. What could've been a fantastic shoe for me wasn't because the toe post causes my foot to be slightly out of position. I still wear them but always with slight discomfort. Guess I need longer toes!
