Vionic womens Flats

I love that I can have orthotic support without looking like an old lady!!! I’ve been wearing this flip flop style since Vionics was Orthoheel brand. I have severe arthritis in one foot(see pic) due to old fracture that didn’t heal correctly and these prevent pain from that, as well as improve my back pain tremendously. I have such high arches that I normally wear a 7.5 in regular shoes but wear a 6 in these as they support my arches so well and my foot doesn’t flatten out. Also I have very narrow feet(AA) so the width on the 6 is better for me. These are definitely average width for size. I wear these daily as I live in San Diego where it’s almost always flip flop weather. I have them in 5 different patterns but the black ones are my favorite and I’ll wear them daily for 6-8 months until the arch support starts getting softer then buy a new pair and move my older ones to my beach-shoe or gardening-shoe collection . If you don’t wear them daily or don’t need super-firm arch support, they should last for years. I’ve gotten my 75 yo mom and a bunch of friends addicted to these shoes too. Please read the enclosed instructions in the box and start out wearing these just a short period each day until you get used to the arch support. Maybe an hour a day for first three days then gradually go up from there. That’s very important to get used to the support if you’ve been wearing shoes with very little arch support. Read more

So comfortable, especially with plantar faciitis. I usually take a 7.5-8 and my feet are on the wider side, but a 7 regular in this brand and style fits perfectly. After some time, they will stretch a little in the front so going .5-1 size smaller would be my recommendation. They are well worth the price due to comfort, quality, fit, and style. I'm planning to buy the gray and black colors as well. I live in these all spring, summer, and fall! Read more

the arch support in these are large! I got the Brown sole with leopard print stripes. I'm a lady and wear size 8.5, but got size 8, as they seem to stretch out some with wear (or at least my last Orthaheel pair did- a lot!) The size 8 fits fine. they are not tight at all- and my foot is not narrow. At first, the left shoe seem to hurt my instep a lot, it even felt higher than the right shoe, but I think it is just because my left foot instep is flatter, turning in more. I could only wear them an hour or so at first. But when I quit fighting the arch supports- and let my foot relax to the position it was suppose to be in.....they arch supports quit hurting. Now, I can wear them a long time before I have to kick them off for something less supportive. The last Orthaheel shoe sandals I got were size 9, and they are extremely too big for me now (a different design- one with pink flower on top) and the arch support has not nearly as much. I think I would prefer a little less arch support- for comfort. But I these do make my back hurt less during the day- as they "insist" on my feet standing correctly. I like the brown ones, as they don't show dirt. And the color does NOT come off on my foot! The leopard print top thong part is classy looking. These would have gotten a 5 star, but I think the arch support is too hard and too high for extreme comfort. These shoes are NOT soft, but hard rubber type. My feet do not sweat in them, nor do they stick to them. The material is fine for getting wet, or anything you do. Very durable. The straps are very comfortable - and do not irritate the toes or sweat on my foot. The underside of the strap is made of nylon- or something similar that is nice against the skin. The top of the strap is a plastic type material. If these shoes last like my other ones have, they will be around for a couple summers! (maybe longer) Orthaheel sandals are usually very tough durable sandals. so long story- short- if you can endure the arch supports, you may love these. Give it some time. I like them better- the longer I wear them Read more

These are my go-to sandals for the perfect arch support. I even have the inserts to use in my sneakers and closed toe shoes. They are expensive - but I see it as an investment and your feet will thank you. There is a bit of a break-in period at first, and they may feel uncomfortable initially. The brand recommends wearing them for about 20 minutes a day at home until your feet adjust. Once you do, it’s hard to go back to flat shoes or sandals. Read more
