Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I like the arch support on the shoes as it is good to use in the kitchen when standing quite awhile cooking/cleaning. Since it was decided as a spa slipper, it has the velcro top, which I don't enjoy since it could come off easily, and I would have to adjust it again. When I adjust it, I have to give it a few try to get back to the comfort level, so it doesn't give me a truth fit for proper support of the whole foot. Other than that, it is comfortable. My husband doesn't like heavy/bulky bottom for slipper, so he doesn't like it. So, if you're looking for light weight and soft slipper, you may not enjoy it.

I've had these about two weeks so I can't yet speak to their longevity. I can speak to the time it takes to get used to them. Like any new "orthotic" - as the foot bed of this slipper mimics - it takes time for the body to adjust to the change at the foundation (under your feet). The first day I could only wear them for a short while. Each day for about a week I was able to increase that time. But I will say it was a full week before my back adjusted to the (positive) change in support to my feet and so my lower back ached for that full week. So give yourself time to adjust... anytime you change something "foundationally" that adjustment time is necessary. Now, after two weeks, I'm loving the support. I work from home so I wear these more often than I wear most shoes.

I liked the arch support of the Vionic Relax, but there was no flex in the sole & they felt very clunky as I tried them out around the house. Not comfortable enough to wear as a house slipper (but bonus points for the adjustable instep strap). Still on the hunt for a supportive house shoe :-(

I felt like I couldn't keep the slipper on my foot.

These are very comfortable and offer a lot of relief. The problem is that the lining under the foot is ripping and rubbing off after only 5 months of use. Also the flaps are tearing off the base. Considering how expensive these are that's a great disappointment.

The best thing about these slippers is the fact that your toes are not confined and that makes them more comfortable. The foot bed feels nice and warm but there is too much going on. The abundance of arch support makes them uncomfortable and requires a breaking in period. I find it challenging to maintain my balance.

The slippers are semi comfortable. However, my wife thought very highly of them. Since I have wide feet, the velcro adjustable straps are super good.

Fit and size is perfect, the material soft but bad quality.

The arch support is too much for my low arch, ok comfort nothing great for being a slipper, style on my feet well its not the best looking

The trouble with the "fur" on the footbed.....it is so slick my feet kept slipping out of the shoe bed. Wearing socks might help .

I have worn them for 7 months only and the material on the footbed is already torn. The slippers look like I have worn them for like 10 years. For this price they must be of better quality. Much better quality. Very disappointed and do not recommend for purchase!

I needed a slipper well cushioned for my metatarsals. This was very hard. Very disappointed.

I really like Vionic shoes, but I consistently run into the issue that their velcro fails after 5-6 months of daily or repetitive use. This was the case with many of my sandals as well as these slippers. The arch and heel support are so beneficial for my flat feet, I just wish that they would last a bit longer. I also think they do run a bit wide.

I wear an 8-1/2, and the size 8 was plenty to accommodate my feet. The arch support is not as strong as I thought advertised. There is some, but it does not alleviate pain. Okay for an orthopedic slipper to shuffle around in to go from casual room-to-room. For all-day housework, an orthopedic insert into sturdy shoes is needed if you have a plantar plate problem. But the shoe is soft and your toes are free.

material feels great but it is so hard my toes hurt

I ordered my usual size 6 medium. But these slippers must be designed for feet with a very high arch or for swollen feet. I had to adjust the velcro straps to be as small as possible to keep them on my feet, and that causes the ends of the upper straps to exceed the lower velcro. They won't lie flat - they stick out. Also they are very warm and not breathable. Machine washing is not recommended by the manufacturer. Looking now for washable cotton slippers.

I returned these mostly because they were too hot on my feet. They are pretty, but not very flattering on my foot.

I bought this shoe to wear indoors in the summer. It has a Velcro strap that does not tighten enough for my foot, size 8B. When my foot slips around, the arch support is not in the correct position. I like the looks and feel of this shoe, but I do not like the way my foot slips around. I wear a lot of Vionic styles and this is the first shoe that has been less than 100% for me.

The fit & size were perfect - soft material & very comfortable! Great slippers!

Love the support on bottom & color, but the velcro attachment is just wrong. I have a very wide foot and these were much too loose on me. Sadly I will be returning them .

I wear a 71/2 - 8. Purchased a 7 due to tour reviews. They are about the right length but still do not fit snuggly. The velcro strap can not be tightened down enough causing the slipper to still feel too roomy. The looks are little clunky. Glad they have a bit of an arch.

Unfortunately the toe portion of the shoe was way to high so when trying to walk you catch the front of the shoe ... almost fell.

They were just “ ok “. I was looking for more support and heel cushioning for the price considering it’s a slipper. I returned them and ordered something else.

Was looking for a bit more support and comfort in the heel area. Overall a nice slipper but didn’t work for me.

They looked beautiful when they arrived. After just a week of wear you can really see the foot imprint and wear. Love the feel but they no longer good at all.
