Reviewed at Vionic Shoes
I own a very similar pair of vionics from a different season and I LOVE them! However, they have changed the design and the toe loop on this pair is sharp. As soon as I put them on I felt pain in between my big toe and second toe. I was really excited for these shoes and I wanted to love them but they hurt me. I'm giving them two stars because otherwise they are a cute shoe and fit well but there is no way I can wear these.

I have had the worst feet pain for the past few years. Nothing helps. I see people wearing sandals all day and I'm so jealous. I decided to try these just to see. I struggled with the price and thought about it for a long time before taking the dive. I regret NOTHING. These are THE BEST SHOES I have EVER owned including sneakers. They are comfortable, have perfect arch support, and are super cute too! I teach and I'm on my feet A LOT! I also work retail as my second job and I won't lie that my feet haven't hurt since I started living in these. I highly recommend!!

These are incredibly comfortable, like all my Vionics. I can wear them for longer times than other shoes without back pain. I just wish they would stop with the velcro. I am only 41, I don't want shoes that make me feel ancient just because I need extra support.

Love the look of this sandal. Nice suede inner sole, nice quality leather straps **BUT** the toe post is wide and gave me a bad blister on day 2. If they had made a thin or rounded toe post instead it would be a perfect shoe. The toe post has elastic to add a little “give” as you walk but it was the wide wedge of leather rubbing up and down as I walk that created the blister. Bought the black and oatmeal but sent them both back.

I love these! With that said, they’re super narrow (which is ideal for me). If you have a wider foot skip these. Length is TTS.

I've been looking for cognac/tan sandals for a while and finally found these. Love them! My normal sandal size is 7D, with a high arch/instep, and these fit beautifully. My only caveat is that I prefer silver tone hardware so I bought some silver buckles on Etsy and swapped them out. Easy peasy. Now they're perfect.
I'd also recommend:

I appreciate that these offer great arch support for my poor old feet while still being stylish and versatile. I bought them for an upcoming trip for which I need comfort that winning combo.
As some reviewers mentioned having an issue with the toe strap, I thought I was going to have the same when I first put them on. But once I adjusted the main strap over the top of foot to be fairly form-fitting, it resolved any issues with the toe strap. I think it's only an issue if you're foot is slip-sliding around.

Very comfy from day 1. Great arch support and the hidden Velcro makes it easy to get the strap across the foot just right.

These fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Very good arch support. I have many pairs of sandals in this brand. Wish they offered more colors.

I was looking for sandals to wear with dresses and capris because my flip flops are so flappy. These are great! Very comfortable and supportive for my flat feet. And although the “hook” is actually velcro, it is hidden nicely so I don’t feel like I’m wearing shoes for someone much older than me. I struggle with summer shoes that don’t hold my orthotics but these sandals work beautifully!

These shoes are so comfy I love the look and feel. I owned a pair of birkenstock shoes just like these when I was younger, back when my feet were young and didn't hurt! I wanted another pair for years but couldn't find any, then vionics came out with these. Thank you vionics I love them!! Wish you had more colors

These have the best arch support of any flip-flop sandal that I've been able to find. They are super comfortable. although it's comfortable, I don't love the fuzzy footbed because it ends up showing the imprint of your foot over time and it's easier to knick up than a more solid footbed. Otherwise, it's terrific.

I have plantar fasciitis and can only wear sneakers. I needed to find something comfortable and cute to wear with dresses. These are fantastic!

These are a little earthy but cute. Great cushion and fit except the toe ring was a little tight for me and I didn’t want to risk requiring a break in period so I returned them.

These are very comfortable sandals. Perfect fit right out of the box. Toe ring did not seem to be too stiff. Unfortunately, they are a bit clunkier and heavy than I thought they would be, so I'm returning them.

I loved these shoes but must return. My pinky toes hang over the edge and I didn't like the look of that. Too bad because the shoes are really cute!

I love Vionics and live in the Tide sandals all summer. That said, when I try any cute leather options, I always end up disappointed and these were no different. The footbed of the regular width is so much narrower than the regular width on the tide that my fallen arch spilled over the side. Cute and comfortable otherwise - maybe try the wide width if you have fallen arches?

The right sandal felt ok but the left toe loop hurt my toe. Not sure if it is put on crooked or had a rough spot on it but it rubbed on my toe.

I have many Vionic sandals and these are my favorite. They don't flap when walking. I hope they make more colors.
