I bought the gold ones, they are quite shiny and have more of a wrinkled look than I expected but they are cute and comfortable. The most frustrating thing about shopping from Vionic is the lack of photos with a person wearing the shoe. It's so hard to tell what it will look like being worn, so I am including a couple of photos.

This is my second time trying this shoe. Size 10W was a little too long and flopped off my feet, but size 9.5W was too short and pressed in uncomfortably on my big toes and caused a pretty obvious crease across the shoe. For reference I'm usually a 10-10.5 in other brands, I sometimes get a wider size for my forefoot, but have an average heel so it doesn't always work. For comparison I wear a size 10 in Altras Lone Peaks and a size 10.5 in Taos Mocstar sneakers. The interior was comfortable and it had good arch support and decent padding. I think the leather is soft and wouldn't cause blisters on the back of heel. Once again, Vionic's wide is really for a wide all over foot, so if that's you this is a nice shoe, but for me the pressing on my big toes was just too uncomfortable and not going to work.

I was so sad that the previous shoe style I got in 2020 was discontinued. I don't know why they do this as I see others complain as well. I finally decided to try these out. They aren't bad, but definitely don't like the look and feel as much as the Desiree style. My biggest complaint so far is that my feet are SO HOT AND SWEATY in this shoes!! They are completely unbreathable.

It is hard to find narrow heeled flats with support so I am quite happy with these!

I've purchased two pairs of the ballet flats. I love the arch support. It's not too much, just right.

I needed a simple black flat that offered some support. I was worried because the last dressy sandal I got from Vionics was hard and hurt the moment they went on my foot. This one, though--dreamy! They look cute with pants and dresses. My foot is very wide, and the wide width gives me enough room.

Ordered a size 10W because my forefoot is wider than average and in the past Vionic's closed toed shoes run slightly narrow. For reference I'm usually a 10-10.5 in other brands. The 10W was a little too long for me though and flopped off the back of my heel. The interior was comfortable and it had good arch support and decent padding. I think the toes might be a little shallow and show some toe cleavage, which aside from looks, might make it harder to keep the shoe on, but difficult to say based on current fit. The leather looks and feels like leather, but nothing super fancy or high quality, just better than the standard PVC everything else seems to made out of these days.

I usually wear a 9 Vionics, but I'm returning my 9 for an 8.5. Nice simple style, comfort enhanced by good arch support.

Super-comfortable and cute flat from Vionic. This shoe comes with two insoles, so that you can get the support just right for you. I could walk around town all day in these shoes.

Good looking shoe, I can wear with everyday slacks or with skirt for church and business. Great arch support too. The heels are a bit loose for me, but I have very unusually narrow heels compared to the front of my foot (toe box), so I would not grade that against this shoe.

The shoe was loose at size 8, which usually fits. There was a seam along the big toe that wasn’t finished well and rubbed. Very unusual for Vionic, a quality product.

Style is cute and comfortable. I love the square toe box. However, it is is too wide and was slipping on my foot. Fortunately, the mary jane style seems more narrow, plus the strap keeps it in place.

These weren't particularly squishy in comfort or high in the arch support, but using real leather does work wonders for comfort and the arch support, while not the highest Vionics has ever offered, is certainly higher than just about any other brand out there. I didn't like them enough to keep them, but there was nothing particularly wrong with them. It's also very hard to put the level of comfort and support that I prefer in a flat shoe. Fit was pretty typical. Little big on me, but I ordered the 11 when I am actually a 10.5 because 10.5s are generally only offered in sneakers.

Shoe runs very large. Usually wear 8-8.5. Ordered 8 need to return, still too big. Gold color is very orange, would return for this reason as well.

This shoe is hard and ugly, and the toe box is narrow and the length is extra long.

This is simply aweful. As someone who loves vionics and has over 20 pairs, I can say unequivocally this shoe is the worst. How it got past the designer acceptance stage, I don't know. Ugly aweful totally un-feminine. How can you think this is a possible replacement for the MINNA ballet flat? This is an ugly old lady shoe.

These shoes are comfortable and fit well except width. I confirmed that I ordered a medium yet after wearing they fit more like a wide.
