Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

They aren’t the cutest but they are comfy!

It still could have been a bit wider. Also I think a 5 1/2 would have fit better in this style. I wanted a slipper that would keep my toes warm. I had to settle for these because it is nearly impossible to find a Wide, Round toe slipper or most any style shoe in this size. I, however, do like the Vionic sandals, so far that is.

I ordered because it said medium/wide. It was still too narrow. It is difficult for me to find a Round toe , wide width slipper. For this reason, I am keeping the size 6 I ordered and returning this one.

This brand was recommended by my doctor due to my planter fasciitis. They are heavier than most slippers so may take a little time getting used to.

I have a narrow foot and need arch support. The straps across the top can adjust with Velcro. Awesome, all the way down to my narrow foot. The arch support is adequate, not great. I can slide them on and off and walk around the house without my feet hurting.

My experience with sizes - too large, too small... First I ordered the size 9, because I am a true size 9 (but at times have ordered shoes in size 9.5 for preference.) I read reviews that they ran large, but thought 9 would work. They felt really comfortable, but there was a lot of extra length at the front, and some at the back. So I set them aside and ordered a size 8. The size 8 didn’t feel good, or fit right, because of where the arch support hit me, and also now the length was borderline too short and the effect of that was my foot felt unstable and slipped off the footbed when I walked. Definitely not going to work. Back to the 9’s, yes...they have a bit extra real estate and are definitely not flattering, but I feel that because of this there is ample room in the footbed for my feet to sink in and be comfortable and stable. The adjustable strap is really great. Definitely keeping the 9’s... Condition: Plantar fasciitis. Big thank you to Zappos for free shipping both ways, and - the fastest of all the online retailers I shop!!

This is a nice looking slipper with the Vionic supportive footbed. As some suggested, I ordered down a half size, and the smaller size was just right. My problem with them is that the cushion isn't sufficient for my foot problems. After wearing them for just a few minutes I could feel that hard footbed underneath the padding. It's a similar problem to that I've had with UGG moccasins, they feel great until the shearling begins to tamp down; then it just feels like walking on a too-hard surface. The Vionic footbed, while supportive, is just too hard for my comfort.

I normally wear and like Vionic sandals and I have a pair of thongs that I love and have a nice cushion feel to them. The footbed of these Vionic Relax slippers feels stiff and hard. The amount of "fleece" covering doesn't really add much. I prefer the footbed of slipper to have a nice cushion feel.

I am working on getting rid of some plantar fasciitis pain in my left foot so supportive shoes are vital. As much as I want to be able to walk around the house barefoot I no longer can. These slippers give me the arch support I need while still letting my toes breathe. Comfy, supportive, and durable.

Comfortable

Was listed on internet as being good for metatarsal problems. I still feet some discomfort on the ball of my left foot. I think they're over-priced.

when I ordered, the site recommended size 8 and I was glad I ordered that as I was thinking that I should order a 7 based on reviews to order up one size. they are definitely the right size. I was replacing a closed vionic slipper and I like the open toe ones better as your foot is able to breathe more. they are right in that the Velcro strip is somewhat irritating to the top of the left foot making it better if you readjust the strap. overall it is not irritating enough to send back. for the $$$$$ they are WELL worth that in comfort and the making of the slipper. I would reorder again.

I can't wait to put these on after work! They have excellent arch support for my high aching arches! They are really warm and soft and fuzzy. I used to put on my Vionic flip flops after work but these give my feet way more support and comfort.

Love them.

I bought these for the arch support so I will keep them. They are not the most attractive slipper but when you have plantar fasciitis they are super helpful. They feel heavy on foot so a lighter version would be great.

they felt good (I needed support), but the natural color seemed too orthopedic. Went with the Acorn slippers instead.

Overall they’re better than your average house slipper, but for me, they are uncomfortable at my arch. The seam where the slippers attach sits too high and digs into my foot.

This is my second pair of these. They are the only slippers I can find that are comfortable for me. I need a wide toe box and I have a lot of discomfort under the front of my foot. These are wonderful. My only complaint, hence only 4 stars, is that I would feel more stable in them if they had a strap across the heel as I feel like I have to work to keep them on when walking, even though there is a velcro strap across the instep. They also seemed to show wear rather quickly (velour completely worn through under the toes), but I do wear them much of the day, every day!

I really wanted to love these. I have plantar fasciitis and have to wear house shoes all the time. Unfortunately these slippers are very wide and I have to pull them tight to stay on my feet. I really wish there was more velcro.

I have plantar fasciitis and needed a comfortable slipper with arch support to wear around the house since I can no longer go barefoot. Vionic Relax are very soft and comfortable. They do what was advertised and what I need.

These are adjustable with Velcro straps so that makes them easier to get to fit your foot.

love them but to big. I will be ordering one size small

This is for anyone with chronic Plantar Faciitis : my podiatrist recommended this brand and here’s my experience. These slippers are very soft & the bands completely adjustable, so they work for both wide, narrow and high step feet. There is a good arch support and it will work well if that’s all you need. My feet are size 6 and high arch, and a tear in the Plantar. It worked well for my right foot, but very painful for my left foot, as the arch wouldn’t fall in the right spot and made it very painful. However, as I lost weight, it became easier to wear, and do I use them during warmer season. I did buy Merrel slippers with woolly stuff in it. It is the best slippers I’ve ever had. It has good support while it’s not so high as it would fall on an uncomfortable spot.

I was hesitant because it’s a really ugly shoe, let’s be honest. But my plantar fasciitis was getting so bad and wearing sneakers in the house was not helping. So I gave them a shot and in just three days, I’ve noticed a significant improvement. I am on my feet at least 10 hours day in our home and we’ve got all hardwood floors. These have been a lifesaver! They breathe really well, too. I was afraid my feet would get too hot and sweaty but that’s not the case. I’m definitely glad I purchased these and would get them again, despite their lack of style.

Description states shoe has 1" heel, but this is misleading because the rest of the shoe is a platform so it really is a flat shoe.
