Vionic Tide Women’s Sandals

I wear the Vionic slides at home, and love them so much. But let’s face it, they have a super thick sole which makes them kind of ugly to wear out and about. I chose the flip flops, hoping they would be as comfortable, while being more stylish. Well, they do look cute, but they are hard as a rock! The straps are also too loose. I wore them while running a few errands and I was limping by the time I got home. Do these things need time to break in or what?! I’m going to try a few more wears, but keeping the box on standby.

So it’s been about a month and these have finally started to break in. Are they the most comfortable things ever? Not really. Worth the price? Meh. They are pretty decent, but do take a lot of time to break in.

I was disappointed that Vionic discontinued my favorite so it took me a few rounds to find which option had the most arch support. I have flat feet but high arches and experience intense pain without my custom orthotics; however I actually hate wearing closed shoes. Hot weather was always stressful having no options for basic and easy supportive sandals. These work perfectly! I can wear them for hours and hours without pain and zero need for the orthotics. I will sometimes wear them in the house when standing to support my feet, posture, and back. They take 2-3 short wears to break in the straps and I replace them every two years as they do collapse. This is reasonable considering they find the balance between soft and flexible yet supportive. And I wear them every day year round.

My new bestie!!

The tow area is a bit wide so it takes a bit of getting used to. But they are comfortable and well-made. They do run big, so order a half size or size smaller. My first order had to be returned because they were too big although I measured my foot and went by the measurements on the page.

My sandals came true to fit size and color ordered. They’re light weight, comfortable and perfect for my feet. Will be ordering another pair soon.

That says it all – comfy shoe with great arch support. I can’t wear all the stylish, fancy, flat sandals. It’s instant plantar fascitis. These are great for supporting my feet. They come in lots of colors, too. They seem sturdy and have held up well. My only issue was while on a vacation where I was doing a lot of walking. The straps began rubbing on the top my feet to the point where my skin was red and irritated. I had to switch shoes. For regular, everyday walking I love these sandals.

I ordered these and they were super cute. Loved them. However when they arrived they were too large. Vionics are known for great arch support and help with plantar fasciitis. This particular model does not have half sizes and the one size down was too small. I was disappointed because I so loved these. Vionics please make the 1/2 size in this model. They are perfect for every occasion and a little glam running out the door. I ordered another model which was plain black and a little higher wedge sorta but still very comfy.
