Extremely comfortable and stylish, BUT...the strap that cross over the instep (the strap that actually keeps the shoe on your foot) is so incredibly large that there is no way to keep the shoe on my foot. Sadly, I have to return them.

They are very loose. They fall off my feet while walking. I always wear size 9 but I can't wear these. Unfortunately, I can't return or exchange them.

It wasn't that the sandal is too big, the main strap is just too loose to hold it onto my foot. But, the toe post is the worst part. It is too thick and the leather is too hard. I could never even break that part in because I can't keep them on my feet!

Just like everyone said. Cute but the band is waaaay too big. Ordered both wide and regular and the issue was the same. Toe post also seems to be in the wrong place. Bummer.

Seems like toe area is too large, a bit sloppy to wear and not as comfortable as other vionics I own.

I had to return these shoes because the part that goes over the top of your foot was too large but the shoe size was correct. Because the top part of the shoe was to large it wouldn't stay on my foot.

These shoes were not comfortable. The part of the shoe that goes between the 2nd and 3rd toe hurt, and my foot was sliding all over the place. I wear a size 8 shoe, and the 7 fit me fine. I normally love this brand.

I love Vionic shoes and had high hopes for this sandal. The strap across the top of my foot, bought my wide, usual size, was too tight and I couldn't keep the shoe on when I tried to walk. This is the only pair of Vionics I have ever returned.

Love the look, however, they are very stiff so they're not very comfortable.

Super cute but the width of the band around the foot is way too large for an average foot. I actually wondered if I had gotten a wide accidentally they are that loose. Sad bc these are very much on trend and chose vionic bc similar styles in other brands are just too flat.

The minute I saw these shoes, I knew I had to have them. Much of Vionic's stuff is not really my taste (they look too "old lady"), but I MUST have arch support. I could not wait for these cute sandals to arrive. But alas, like ALL Vionic shoes that have a strap over the instep (and I've tried them all), I can't keep them on! They begin to slip backward as soon as I take a step and eventually, I just walk right out of them. I do have a crazy high arch, but I have non-Vionic shoes that are this style that stay on just fine. I love these sandals so much, and I hope to see MORE modern, attractive shoes in "normal" colors and styles, but I'm afraid these will have to go back.

The overall fit felt sloppy. The thong piece was rough and rubbed on my toes for the very little time I was trying them on.

They don’t stay put and slip off when you walk, might work for someone with wide feet but definitely not for narrow or medium feet ladies. I returned them

The reviews are correct. These are too big and they don't stay on. So cute though. I hope they get redesigned!

The shoe is too heavy so it drags behind, it doesn't stay close enough to the foot to be able to walk in it. Its a cute design but the fit is not right.

Unfortunately I cannot wear these Alvana sandals because the leather toe strap is painfully hard and inflexible. A shoe repair specialist removed the tough outer layer of the toe strap, and I have tried soaking the strap in olive oil and mineral oil to soften the leather, but it's still too tough for me to wear. All my other Vionic sandals are comfortable and wearable from the start, but this model is unwearable. I would like a refund.

The fit was strange because my foot slipped back leaving a gap in front and making my heel hang over the back even though it was the correct size.

Poor fitting and VERY uncomfortable. Toe post hurts and shoes slip off of your feet.

This shoe is hard to keep on my feet.I am so disappointed! I wish I could return them, but it has been longer tha than 30 days. I agree with everyone's review about the shoe.

I agree with other reviews. The band across the foot is too large, and they won't stay on my feet. I own about 20 pairs of Vionic shoes, and I hate that I have to return them. They are so cute! I hope Vionic will see all of this feedback and redesign this sandal!
