Really comfy but not stylish enough for my 19-year old daughter. She didn't love the bow. She usually wears heels or Birks or tennies. These were too Mom-ish, despite the great support.

I love Vionics because they are so comfortable, but, this sandal was a bit heavy on the sole, so, it felt like to was pulling at the top of my foot when i walked. i have another similarly styled Vionic sandal that does not have that heavy feel, so, they are super comfortable and feel lightweight on my foot. The good news about Vionics is there isn't a "breaking in" period. You can take them out of the box and wear comfortably. These were just a little too heavy for my comfort. Most people might not notice the weight/feel, but, I did. otherwise, it's a lovely sandal that is perfect for everyday, work or out to dinner.

I generally wear size 8, however am returning them for size 7 1/2. Unfortunately many of the avionics don’t come in half sizes. I am also ordering N instead of medium width.
I wish they made them without the bow.

I ordered a narrow and found them to be too wide. They are very cute.

I own several pairs of Vionic sandals. I don’t understand what has happened to the sandals since Vionic bought Orthaheel but things have changed. This style of sandal (which isn’t that cute but I will sacrifice cute for comfort) used to run a bit slimmer on the foot and have way more arch support. Not anymore. The straps are really wide. The arch support just isn’t there. Not worth the price.

I think these would be very attractive for both casual and dressier outfits; however, these weren't snug enough for my narrow feet. I got the Reef Cushion Luna which are more practical for the beach and living in the tropics. It's surprising a snug fit that works.

I ordered this brand because my podiatrist told me this brand was an excellent flip flops for me to wear, because of the support. When I ordered and did the search in my size I was so disappointed to find that Vionic only had ONE style in narrow. I ordered a size 9 narrow, my normal size and wore them a few times over a couple of months and they stretched so badly I couldn't wear them any longer. I reordered them in a different fabric and a 1/2 size smaller, but I only wore them a few times because it was September by the time I got them. I'll wear them in the Spring and hopefully they will hold their size. There are two things I don't like about this sandal. (1) The insoles of the sandal has little round circles that are elevated and bother my tender feet. I suppose they might be for slippage but I wish the insoles were smooth. (2) I hate the bow and wish it were not there. I would like someone to post how to take it off without having to spend money and taking it to a shoe maker. I also wish Vionic would have more styles in Narrow.

Surprisingly for a thong sandal, the narrow really was narrow and the fit was excellent. Material is icky - feels like some kind of plastic. Great arch support and I have very high arches.

I have this style in almost every color. I LOVE this shoe! However, this specific pair isn’t quite the same fit as my others. It seems a slight but smaller. I bought these specifically for the “pewter” color, but it has a gold tint which I’m not sure I like.

I really like these and wished they fit, however I am between 8-8.5 and M-W so I usually get the wide if there is one. I got 8 M and W and the footbed is a little wide in the wides and medium fit best, but the straps are too tight in either size, so sadly I sent them both back.

Narrow was too wide for my foot. And one shoe was much wider then the other. Maybe a returned pair that someone stretched?

I love the Vionic footbed, and I wish that they made more shoes in narrow widths. That said, this sandal, even in the narrow, was too wide.

I own several pair of Vionic's and know that I need to go down a size when getting them. I sized down one size and these were still sloppy. The foot bed felt comfortable but overall fit too large. Plus, the thin straps are not big enough to hold the sandal on in my opinion.

After ordering and trying on...turns I didn’t much care for the bow. I found the little metal embellishments to be annoying when walking. Other than that they had nice arch support and I loved the color.

I was told Vionic was very good for plantar fasciitis. I was so excited because finally I found a narrow, but the sandal fit like a medium.

I love these shoes, and have the exact same pair. The tan bottoms turned black with dirt almost immediately on my old pair, so I ordered a new pair, since the foot beds on some of my newer Vionic sandals have been updated not to absorb dirt. I was so disappointed that these do not have an updated dirt-repellant footbed. Since I already have the same pair, hence with a dirty footbed, I will be returning these. I wish Vionics made more styles in a narrow width!

I loved the look and color of these sandals. The arch support was great, but the straps were too tight which made the toe post very uncomfortable. I returned them and got another style (Tide II) that I’m very happy with.

I was so excited that these cute sandals were in narrow, but the straps really ran large and the narrow was too wide.

Loved these shoes and was so excited to see a flip flop in a narrow width. Too bad they weren't narrow enough for me. Sending back.

Reluctantly disappointed with these sandals. The cork sole is super cushy, yes. However, my foot width is average and I feel as if these straps have an exceedingly wide, loose arch, making the shoe slide as I walk. Because the base is so cushy, I could ignore it......if...they weren't so darn expensive.

I really wanted to keep and love these sandals. They are so cute and comfortable! I tried two different sizes just to be certain. But the thong is set back too far, leaving the footbed sticking out well past one's toes in front.

One foot fit perfectly while the other foot like it was half size fuller. I have bought Vionics before and didnt have that problem. Will try a size smaller and see if they have the same prob.

Love Vionics sandals and I typically live in them from March through November. That being said, I don't love these. They don't adjust, making them too snug for me. They're also pretty stiff, not as comfy as my Karinas. I'm disappointed because they're really cute.

Too much ‘support’ where my foot didn’t feel at home in the sandal. Bummer because I like the style overall and hoped for a great orthopedic experience

I hate to have to return these but they are too wide. I love vionics and these shoes specifically. But the width is a half size too big.
