Great shoes for back issues!
I ordered these shoes because mine were worn out and I wanted a good supportive sandal for around the house and a day at the water park.I have normal feet. Normal width and arch height. I have a bad back and most flip flops make my back ache after being on my feet for more than half an hour.I wear a size 10 and ordered a size ten. I'd say they are slightly big, but not enough that I would order a different size.Pros:- They are very cute- the sequins have stayed on very well.- They are comfortable to stand in, which I have not found to be true in very many other sandals. I could stand in these all day.-They have AMAZING arch support. It meets the arch and aligns your legs, which aligns the back. It provides amazing relief for an aching back-They are made of a rubber like material that is very easy to grip, but bends with your foot and is very supportive.I walked in them all day at the water park with very little back discomfort, which for me is amazing.Cons- if you aren't used to having this much support, it can be a bit rough on the arch of your feet (simply because the arches aren't used to having contact with the shoe). However I wore them a few times before I wore them all day at a water park and they were fine.- they squeak when wet. Didn't bother me much but still. The pros to this is that they are made out of rubber and DO NOT soak in water, so they are easy to dry off.

Great Support for Feet.
I have plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis from running on new, ill-fitting Hoka running shoes. I stand on my feet most of the time so healing has been a very slow process. My podiatrist told me I shouldn't wear flats, sandals or flip flops but to go back to wearing my old pair of On running shoes as they offered my feet the best support. I dug around the internet in hopes of being able to wear some flip flops that offered the support I needed during the summer months. These Vionics came up so I took a gamble. When I first put them on I noticed they were hard and I felt like there was a ball digging into my arch. These were very different to my spongy flip flops that have no support, so I wasn't sure if I could wear them for too long. I wore them for several hours and I began to be able to disregard the hardness or the "ball" in my arch. The following day I wore them for about six hours ... bad mistake, as the following day I couldn't put them on without them really hurting my problem foot. Reading what Vionic recommends, they suggest wearing them a few hours a day until your foot get used to them. So for the next week I wore them only a few hours a day and now I can wear them all day without issues. They offer tremendous support and my feet don't ache/throb by the end of the day like they had been when wearing other flip flops and shoes. Follow directions, unlike me, and you'll have no issues getting your feet used to these. With the heel stretching and these flip flops I have already had a marked improvement in healing. I'll be looking at other styles of Vionics very soon.

Nothing but.. Vionic!
This is my favorite of the 15 pair of Vionic’s I’ve purchased so far. I love how they sparkle and shine and kinda elevate my mood. They’re a great sandal to dress up anything you’re wearing or simply take the boredom out of an outfit. I love these black with silver sequins, and also have the gray with silver sequins and the black with black sequins, and love them all. I wear Vionic sandals everyday in warm weather and dread when winter rolls around. So comfortable and supportive and no more foot pain! That’s why I’ve bought so many pairs to switch out and match different outs and I thank Amazon for making them affordable.

Why no 1/2 sizes!?
These are comfortable and cute -- this from someone who is NOT a flip-flop fan. I do like sandals a little big so that my toes don't slide over the end, but these are a little long -- not too noticeable most of the time, especially with long pants. I imagine they would be even more comfortable if they were a bit smaller so that the instep support would match up perfectly. Despite that, they have been fine so far for running errands and around the house. They are much better than flat flip flops, both while wearing them and afterward. I don't feel as though my feet need to recover from abuse! I would not pay full price for them, even with a perfect fit. That is just crazy! The odor that others mentioned is very strong. I had to take the sandals down to the basement -- couldn't be near them the day they came. Still a slight scent, but nothing that would keep me from buying another pair if the fit were perfect.

Miracle flip-flops! Super comfy!!! Great for flat-feet!
I LOVE these shoes! I first found these in a shoe-store a year ago, but didn't buy them at the time as I didn't want to spend so much on a pair of flip-flops, but waited until this year to buy them and got a great deal online! My feet over-pronate (have flat-feet/fallen arches) so for many years I rarely wore sandals because I have to wear custom-made orthotics in tennis shoes or boots. I was getting sick of wearing tennis shoes in hot weather and wanted something supportive to wear when I go to visit my in-laws who live in South America. These will do the trick and are stylish too! (I got the silver ones).When I first put these shoes on it felt like I was getting a massage on my arch. I even wear them around the house for support in the summer. They are super comfy and cushiony. Now I want to buy them in other styles. They are worth it if you want comfort AND style!
