Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

I really like Orthaheel, but these need some improvement. I found them to be very wide, a size long and too clunky for a slipper. Would love it if they made those changes!

I was so disappointed with these slippers. I had high hopes for them. They were extremely uncomfortable. I recently purchased a pair of Orthaheel sandals and love them. I had hoped these would be just as comfortable.

I was hoping for a comfortable supportive slipper. Based on the reviews I purchased these. I found them to be so uncomfortable with super hard bottoms they were painful to wear. They were also very clunky and difficult to walk in. I was afraid I’d fall. My feet also slipped forward and I couldn’t adjust them to stop. I also thought they were ugly…They went back!

no, these are not up to quality I've come to expect from vionic. worn little and already wearing out.

I wish I could review these. Not only did I get the wrong color, I received a whole size bigger than what I purchased, smh. Was really looking forward to these & was disappointed when I had to return.

Had trouble adjusting the strap, Took a few days but are better now Was disappointed that the heel was not higher

I only too one out of the box and tried it on. Ugh. They went straight back. I will never try Vionic again.

the arch was very uncomfortable for me

THis slipper had a rough spot of stitching or glue at the top of my foot, rubbing me when I walked. Quite hurt actually. BTW…I ordered several sandals made by Vionic and all were defective in some way with the shoes not matching each other in size. I expect better quality from this brand.

I thought I would LOVE this slippper - SADLY, NOT. The velcro straps just don't give enough support to keep my foot centered on the footbed. Oddly, the footbed feels like it has a slant down and to the outside of both feet... I'm wondering if this pair was a return since the fuzzy material looks "used" on the seams of the criss-crosses. Bottom line is the footbed hurts rather than feels good, so wil be returning this style and going for the closed toe version which I have had before and liked alot.

It almost seems like the arch support is in the wrong place. They really hurt my feet. So much so, that I had to return them.

I was so excited to get these slippers. However, after a month they just fell apart. The arch support was gone and the heel had no support. Also, the material started shedding. I am 5'7" and weigh 139 pounds so I'm not a heavy person at all. I live in a pet and smoke free home and have not worn these slippers outside. My picture shows 1 month of wear. I really hate leaving a low grade on any product, but these slippers are a waste of money. Look look at other manufacturers and products. If I could I would return them, but they have been worn so I'm out of luck.

I’ve had 5 pairs. Dr. Recommend. They run way to big and wide and you can’t tighten the Velcro enough. Current pair is the worst. I’m ordering 2 sizes down and still wide. Heel on this pair is wearing out already. I’m going to have to find something else.

I love Bionic flip flops so thought to try the slippers. I prefer arch support as I have a tendency to pronate. Initially I felt pretty good in these slippers. I didn't wear them often so didn't notice any arch issues. Since January i've been in the house more due to the weather and have been wearing the slippers a few hours every day. I started having arch pain and then ankle pain. I went to my podiatrist and we walked (no pun intended) through my days for the previous week. My podiatrist determined there could be an issue with either the slippers or my cold weather ankle boots and asked me to bring them to the office. I did. He measured my feet as if I were being measured for an orthotic and then measured the slippers and the booties. The right foot slipper was perfectly aligned for proper arch support. The left foot was not. The arch rides up the side of the slippers more than it should. This in turn created pain on the outside of the arch and the bottom part of the arch pressed on my foot making it almost feel like it was twisting. I am now at the point of needing physical therapy. The booties had no alignment issues, thank goodness! So a waste of $65.00 and who knows how much in physical therapy co-pays. It is possible this is an isolated defect but I would suggest walking around in them in the house right away. If you feel even the smallest twinge in you arch, beware, it will get worse. I chose moderate arch support in my review because that's what it should have been.

I cannot wear this slipper when walking around my home. I get a shock every time I touch anything metal, light switches, my computer even the faucet over my sink. My dog is afraid to let me pet him as we have had terrible shocks. I would have sent them back immediately but my husband tore up the box. I would not recommend buying these unless you like to be jolted whenever you touch something.

They fit just fine, plus they're adjustable across the lower foot. Arch support very good. They kept my feet nice and warm. I've had some trouble walking in them, I think because they were new and stiff. Overall, I'd recommend the slippers and Zappos to a friend.

I have a few pairs of Vionic sandals, and love them for the arch support. Best sandals for my feet by far. I was excited to get the slippers. Unfortunately, these fit very, very narrow. With Vionic sandals, the entire footbed is an area for your foot. With these sandals, the strap attaches not at the edge of the footbed, but it is set inward more than 1/4 inch on both sides. This shrinks the area for your foot by at least 1/2 an inch. This caused the base of the strap to sit underneath my foot, creating an uncomfortable lump. Way too narrow. If they design it this way, the base of the whole slipper needs to be wider. I'm very disappointed and had to return these. Also, they STINK so badly. I opened the box, and it smelled really strong like super glue or rubber cement. Then after putting the slippers back in the box, the smell is still lingering in the room a day later. I have never had a shoe smell so bad like harmful chemicals before. It makes me hesitant to order any more products from Vionic after this.

No longer a good option for wider feet. I have worn this slipper for years but this time it is different. I compared this slipper to my existing pair of the same exact style, size and width that I bought only 7 months ago. The base of the straps is definitely sewn more inward it and hinders the arch support. This new placement of the straps also narrows the foot bed of the slipper. My feet actually hurt in them at the base of the straps. It's a shame too because I have loved this particular slipper for years. And again, it is strictly "the base" of the straps. I'm not talking about the top of the straps where the velcro can be adjusted. If you have narrow feet, you will be ok and you won't notice this change.

I am very disappointed in this pair of slippers. I got them at the end of April 2020 and they are falling apart already. I do not wear them all day,only for a few hours in the am and pm. Never had this problem with this brand before and have been wearing them for years!

I was very disappointed in these slippers. Considering the price, they were not as expected. Looked like a Men’s slipper. They were too big. I normally wear a size 9 and ordered 9 but probably could have worn 8. They were stiff and arch did not hit the right spot on my foot. The only plus was the Velcro strap to adjust for a wider foot.

These hurt my feet. They felt too narrow and where the rear strap connected to the sole caused a painful lump on both sides of the slipper directly under my arch area. I had to return them. I was so disappointed, because I love Vionic and really need new slippers.

This is my 3rd pair of vionic slippers and I have to say I’m extremely disappointed. I don’t know what they have done or if they have changed their manufacturer but they haven’t lasted as long, they don’t have the same support and the Velcro strap has cut into the top of my foot causing a scab. Wish I could return them but since I have been wearing them I can’t. I don’t recommend these which makes me sad as I’ve always loved them and since I need support to wear at home I’m not sure what to do.

These slippers are comfortable in that they have that wonderful Vionic support, however they are so heavy and clunky I cannot wear them. I guess if you don't mind wearing what feels like ARMY BOOTS around the house as slippers, these are the slippers for you. As for me, these are going back. I hope to see Vionic design a slipper that feels like a slipper and wears like a slipper in the future. I will be watching for them.

Sadly I am returning these because they smell... they literally smell .. like epoxy glue or something... as soon as I opened the box, I could smell a glue like substance and on the bottom of one of the slippers, it looked tacky, with some sort of sticky substance... I am not paying this much money for slippers that smell... and I have allergies...

The size and fit were okay, but both pairs of Vionic that I ordered had such high arches and low heel beds that they were too painful to wear, even for a short time. Do not buy Vionic unless you have a high arch or extremely flexible feet that are forgiving.
