Customer Reviews VIONIC Petaluma

Vionic hit a home run with these! I have been a fan of Vionic shoes for a LONG time... Ever since they were "Orthaheel" back in the early 2000s. I have a closet full of Vionic sandals, and a few other pairs of Vionic closed shoes. Typically the closed shoes don't fit me great like the sandals and flip flops do, or I'd probably have even more of them. These shoes were right on the money though. I initially bought the navy/raffia stripe version, thinking they'd be cute to dress up jeans and as soon as I got them, I started seeing other things in my closet I'd wear them with (cropped chinos, skirts, a navy linen sheath dress). I decided to get another pair, and bought the camel/black, and then came back one more time and grabbed the cream/black version as well. I don't think I'm done! I'm going to get the solid black as well, because who can't use a pair of well-fitting black flats? I might even really go nuts and order the natural/raffia pair to round it out and get every color. I'm 5'10" and like a shoe that looks good with skirts and dresses that doesn't add any height. These shoes are so versatile, they truly go with everything. And they're a classic that will not go out of style, so I will have them a long time and don't feel bad about splurging on the entire collection. They're very comfortable with their wider, square toe (but do not look clunky!!) and the adjustable sling back means that they fit me perfectly. The arch support is great, and are extremely comfortable on my high arch problem feet! I hope this Petaluma style comes back every year in a different array of colors! (I'd love to see a dusty blue or dusty pink suede, or a classic tan suede.) Thanks Vionic, my feet are very, very happy!

Heel was so heavy, felt like I was lugging it with each step and made walking very noisy. Good sizing and I like the idea of a cute sling-back. Just didn't work for me

I usually love Vionic, but these were too uncomfortable to walk more than a couple of steps. The arch support in these seemed to be in the wrong place and was very hard. I hate that because the shoes were cute.

I ordered both the cream leather and the navy raffia stripe. The cream leather gapped at the sides, the arch support hit a bit too far back and the inside edge of the shoe rubbed. Not comfortable. The navy raffia stripe fit perfectly, are comfortable, and I am keeping these. Same size, but fit and comfort are quite different.

Classy shoe that fit perfectly. True to size.

The size and fit were both great! Love these!

So comfortable on my wide feet! They don’t pinch my toes. They don’t slip off my heel. Perfect!

Well fitting. Toe box not too tight. An unusual and smart take on the spectator spring look.

So impressed with these flats! I love the Chanel-esque style and the flirty slingback. The arch support is like no other when it comes to flats, and I have a feeling the carry over from spring to summer to fall will be seamless with these.

Super cute sling back that’s perfect for Spring and Summer. These shoes were comfortable right out of the box and provided nice arch support. I highly recommend.
