I'm young enough to be vain, but old enough to know I need GOOD shoes!
I have had lower back and joint pain for as long as I can remember. It recently got so bad that at the end of a long day it physically hurt so bad to sit or lay down that I had trouble sleeping, and sometimes in the morning was still in pain. I realized that if I didn't start wearing supportive shoes I was going to have even more problems and never give my body time to heal.These shoes are my first real supportive shoes (other than tennis shoes), but they are everything I could have asked for in a shoe! They are cute - I wear a lot of dresses and skirts and wanted a shoe that was cute and comfortable. These look adorable and pulled together with any outfit. They provide support without it looking like I'm wearing "old lady" shoes.I want to try other colors and styles, but for now I'm so happy that I took the plunge to try something new. These shoes are totally worth the extra money. They have already lasted longer than some of my $20 flats, but the best part is that I am pain free.I found these shoes to be very true to size. I have wide feet, but they still fit well. The ankle strap takes a little while to get adjusted and into position, but to have support and adorable shoes its totally worth it!

Great support & comfort
I wore these sandals for two weeks straight as I toured Italy. So comfortable and supportive, felt like I was walking in really good sneakers but they were cool & stylish on top of that. I didn't have any issues with materials, they held up great. I will be buying additional pairs because I think these will be great for hot days at Disneyland. I have a wide foot and a high arch and these fit perfectly. I loved that they had buckle closures and not velcro. Can't recommend them enough. I tried on at least 10 different sandals (various brands) prior to this trip and these were by far the best.

Very cute and comfortable
I ordered these for a trip where I’ll be doing a lot of walking. I have a high instep and need arch support, but don’t want orthopedic looking shoes. These check all the boxes. I have a wide foot and the 7.5 wide fits perfectly. My foot does not fall off the side. Great support. Made well and very attractive. Can be dressed up or down. First pair of Vionics but not my last!

Very nice sandal
The sole is extremely comfortable and supportive especially in the arch area, just what I was looking for! The top part is very thin and is a little bit irritating between the toes, but hopefully once worn in that will get better. Looking forward to wearing these to a wedding this weekend at 7 months pregnant! Cute and functional.Update: wore them to the wedding and they were relatively comfortable. The material between the toes is getting a bit softer with wear, which is nice. They are a bit larger than expected - I had to tighten the ankle strap to the smallest hole to avoid wobbling, so hopefully they don't stretch out too much or I'll have to add more holes! However, with my big feet (I wear a size 11, maybe a 10.5 would have been better in these), it's nice to not have to worry that my toes are hanging over the edge, and the sole still seems to support my arch in the right place.

Defective pair - should have returned. Still sit in my closet.
I bought these a long time ago and really wanted them to work—they were so cute, and I love the Vionic brand. Unfortunately, the pair I received seems to have a defect. The strap on the left foot is uncomfortable and makes walking difficult, so I’ve never really been able to enjoy them. I wish they had worked because I had high hopes.

Worth every penny!
This is the fifth pair of Vionics I've ordered in about as many weeks. I keep ordering them in different styles because of their superior relief for my severe plantar fasciitis. This style is particularly comfortable for the following reasons:1. Good shock absorption due to a flexible sole and cushiony insole;2. A footbed with a soft surface that is shaped like the actual contours of a foot, with impressions at the heel and ball of the foot, and a gentle mound under the arch;3. The open-toed style allows my extremely wide instep and toes to spread out comfortably;4. The thong strap is made of a cottony fabric, so it doesn't pinch between the toes.As an added bonus, they are very pretty, and dressy enough for work. I get compliments every time I wear them, which I plan to do every day until the weather gets too cold.I hope Vionic will continue to expand its selections. In particular, it would be nice to have some closed-toe dress shoes with very wide toe boxes. (Most feet taper at the ankle and widen at the toes. Most closed-toe shoes are designed with the exact opposite shape. I understand that it's fashionable to have a tapered toe, but still. Ouch.) I'll definitely keep buying this brand. They're a little pricey, but worth every penny.

Don’t buy these.
I am a huge conic fan and have purchased many of their shoes. This particular pair I have purchased twice. Both times the liner on the footbed started coming loose within a few months of wearing them. And they are not my daily shoes.
