These fit like a dream in a size 7, which is the same size I take in Vionic sandals. However, I had ordered and returned them (too big) in a size 8 some time ago because I take a size 8 in Vionic athletic shoes. I also own some vionic loafers in a 7.5. Beware--Vionic sizing is all over the map!!! BUT, their arch support is wonderful, even in their bedroom slippers. Love the Carlin. It's dorm room stylish and teddy bear snug. Bedroom sexy--not!

Was hopeful that these would do everything that Vionic is supposed to do for a foot with high arches. Sadly, not. There is an adjustable velcro strap on this slide, but I wasn't able to tighten it enough to keep this slipper on my foot. And as a side note, the black color looked very large and one-dimensional on my foot. Would have kept if they fit well, but they wouldn't have been attractive (which is always nice!).

I have many Vionic shoes and the Vionic Gemma slipper. The Carlin slipper fit true to size, no problem there. However, the left slipper was uncomfortable because the arch support was very hard and high. The right slipper was more comfortable but the arch support seemed lower, although not quite as hard. Because the fit was not consistent, I had to return. A nice looking slipper; soft inside, and the adjustable loop closure also worked well.

The Carlin is a nice looking slipper and can probably be worn outside. My problem with it was the strap across the top. It was uncomfortable, even though adjustable, and seemed to complicate the ease to slide my foot into the slipper. I am returning and have ordered the another Vionic brand with out the strap on the top. I wear a 2W and the toe box had plenty of room and size 7 fit perfect. I also felt the footbed would be hot.

My feet feel better after a day of moving about my home when wearing supportive footwear. I'd considered buying Vionic slippers for some time, and Christmas gave me the perfect reason! Being home more this winter, 2020 is the year of slippers! This product is my go-to from morning until night.

The style is so cute, however, the strap that goes over the top of the foot is SO terribly stiff, it was actually painful .. no stretch or 'give' in it .. returning. "(

Very comfortable with lots of arch support, which I like because I have high arches. They are a sturdy slipper & a little heavier that I thought they would be, but with the great arch support makes sense. Not the most glamorous, but cute enough. The grey is a pretty color.

So disappointed. These do NOT work for me. I love the support in my Vionic Tide ll and was HOPING that I could find a Vionic Slipper for Winter.
I have tried other styles of Vionic Slippers, but one lining was TOO fuzzy and my foot slid.
Another Style was a hair too narrow for me.
The Carlin does not have a high enough tow box for me big toe.
I do best in a 7 1/2 in Vionics, but ordered an 8.
The MAIN problem is that my foot is NOT a "high" volume foot.
There is a lot of room on TOP of my Instep (AND I have a HIGH instep & high arch).
Yes - there is a nice strap with Velcro......but my foot just moves forward and then my big toe hits the end.
IF you have a beefier foot than my "bony" foot - these would work for you!!
Try them.

I love these slippers. I have purchased the same Vionic slippers before and loved them. The Carlin actually has a nicer outer material that I think will wear well. My Plantar Fasciitis requires me to have arch support shoes on at all times, and these slippers do the trick for me at night. They are very sturdy. My only complaint I have had is they seem wide. The last pair did also. There is a velcro adjustment, but my foot is narrow enough, even that doesn't quite help. The Wine color is nice. It is dark and subtle, so not too bright. I will buy again.

These slippers are fantastic! My podiatrist told me to wear shoes in the house, so I bought these and they are very supportive for slippers. The arch support is great and exactly what I needed. I wear a 7.5 and the 8 fits perfectly.

Love the burgundy color and the strap for style and to tighten the shoe. I usually buy a 9.5 wide and Zappos recommended the 10, thought it was huge taking it out of the box, but it's perfect! Can't stand my heel right on the end of a clog style and in these it's well inside. Material is soft and love the thick rubber sole for indoors and out. Agree that the sole is stiff, the shoe does not bend with my foot yet, but think this will change as I break them in. Very happy with the arch support, and it hits in the perfect spot. Very pleased!

Cozy slipper with great arch support. Normally wear size 61/2 shoe and had to exchange size 7 for size 6 which fits perfectly.

I took a chance and ordered these slippers. So grateful. I have lymphedema severely in my left foot and leg so I was praying I could get these on. YAY!! That Velcro strap closing made it possible. I’m ordering another pair right now!!

Apparently, I have an exceptionally high arch (says my podiatrist). I love my comfy, fuzzy Bearpaws and others but need better support. The nurse in the doc's office suggested Vionic shoes and I bought sandals last year and loved them. I can see how these slippers might feel less comfortable to someone who doesn't have an exceptionally high arch, but for me, they fit and felt wonderful right away. The material is flannel inside and out so it feels soft and fuzzy on my feet. The wine color is very rich and pretty. The sandals ran a bit bigger so I decided I should go down in size for these slippers (usually wear a 7 1/2). I can tell they are 7s and not 8s but I didn't want my feet to be sliding around in them. 8s definitely would have caused discomfort from slipping (because of being a half size too large). I would really, really like Vionic to offer more half-sizes in slippers, especially at this price point. I will definitely be buying another pair of Vionic slippers very soon!

Finally, after trying multiple slippers, these Carlins are keepers. All the others either wouldn’t stay on my heel, slipped off, were too firm, or just didn’t fit. I normally don’t wear Vionic because the arches are usually to high for me. But I do need some arch support in my slippers and these have been perfect. They were a little stiff at first but have become more comfortable. I will look at Vionics again after this. So thankful that Zappos has such good customer service.

I’ve suffered from plantar fasciitis and once I realized that my old floppy slippers were part of the problem, I bought my first pair Vionic slippers. They are incredible! Supportive and comfy all at once!

All Winter I wore this slipper when I arrived home every day from work or after sports events. I do not feel at home until I slip these on. The only negative point is when the ornamental button on my left slipper began to lose color. Still not a huge problem since I only wear my slippers at home, but I wanted to make sure that I noted that con for others.

I have learned that certain styles of Vionics run large, this style being one. I am typically an 8.5, medium width. Size 7 in this style fits perfectly. I also own other Vionic styles where Size 8-8.5 is perfect. It’s easiest to gauge this if you can visit a store that has multiple sizes and try them on before purchasing. Other than that, Vionics are one of my favorite brands. Their arch support is phenomenal for someone (like me) who has high arches.

I love these slippers. The strap over the top is a little stiff at first but once I wore them a few times it was fine. They keep my feet really warm and even as the bed of the shoe starts to get a little worn down, the arch support is still there and keeps my feet from pain.

I have ordered many different slippers trying to find the fit that makes me feel secure walking. Very important at age 85! No slipper fits better than Vionic. This is my second pair. I wore the first pair for years! I recommend them highly for any age .

Love these slippers. Great arch support. The width might be a little wide for some but I like a slipper that allows me to wear a sock during the winter.

I have worn Vionic shoes/sandals/slippers for years and have never had a recurrence of my plantar fasciitis. They are well worth the price, are super comfortable and stylish, and I have yet to wear a pair out. I highly recommend them.

I ordered a size 11 because they were listed as only being medium width and I have a wide foot. They are plenty wide and I could wear a size 10 in this style.

The Vionic slippers have enough of an arch support to make them comfortable enough to wear for a length of time. Plenty of toe box room, nice soothing footbed, indoor/outdoor soles, and soft quilted material that stand up to wear make these my Go To slippers. Just bought my second pair!
