VionicWomen's Women's Rest Amber Backstrap Sandal - Ladies Adjustable Walking Sandals with Concealed Orthotic Arch Support

I couldn’t be happier to find a sandal for every day where while I deal with extreme high arch issues and plantar fasciitis. This sander will go with all pants and shorts because it’s leather with a cork look. I seem to be able to walk in these for a few hours around the house doing a ton of things and I can’t say that for most of my shoes because I have such a high arch. On a sidenote, my podiatrist recommended vionic shoes for troubled feet. It’s an added benefit that they’re also stylish.

These sandals are super comfortable and I can wear all without my feet killing me at the end of the day.

good well made shoe. even adjusting all the straps, they are too wide in the toe area so returning

I bought the sandal for my mom after reading the rave reviews. When the shoe arrived, we both loved the stylish look, and my mom was impressed by the feel and the fit. Usually my 82 year old mom walks hunched over, taking small inching steps, and winching with every stride. When she put the sandals on, she became a different woman. There was pep in her step. I was overcomed by the joy she exuded. Her back was straight, and she walked faster. She felt so good that we spent almost the whole day out. Thank you, thank you for these God send shoes. She loved vionic so much that I bought her two more pairs.

I love Vionic sandals so was surprised when I first wore ethese sandals. I wear size 10M and they fit well, but the satraps are so itchy. I wore them a few more times with the same uncomfortable very itchy feeling that did not go away. I don’t have any allergies and thought maybe the Velcro would soften. Still the same uncomfortable feeling so I quit wearing them. I wish I had returned them within 30 days.

I have many Vionic shoes. The arch support is fantastic on their shoes.I am returning these sandals. They are a little big.

The support these sandals offer is the closest thing I have had since wearing custom made orthotics. I can put them on and wear them comfortably out of the box and they have just enough cushioning to make it comfortable but not so much that it bothers weak ankles. This alone makes this shoe one I will continue to purchase - but I will do it with my jaw clenched tightly. Other than comfort, these are the most expensive poorly made shoes I've ever purchased! The ones I bought last year had a fake wood plastic covering over the footbed which promptly started peeling off and has continued to do so. The "pleather" lining also peeled off. You could tell where I had walked in the house by the trail I left as pieces fell off. The "scales" of the shoe have come off in droves - the most color on the edges of all straps is now Black Magic Marker. The latest one I bought (supposedly looks like cork) was cheapened with a splash of gold paint which not only makes the sandal look cheap but detracts from the medallions between the straps. Hopefully it will wear off as quickly as the "wood" foodbed of my first pair did. It is beyond me how or why someone clever enough to come up with the PERFECT SANDAL would cheapen it by using really lousy materials on the part of the shoe that shows. I would happily pay more to get real leather. Oh, but then I probably wouldn't need to buy new shoes so often - perhaps that is their reasoning. Oh, how I hope someone will come up with a comparable footbed with quality upper materials - then I'll switch brands! In the meantime, if you have high arches and flexible feet that need a heel cup, then welcome aboard the "buy it even if it is ugly, cheaply made and wears out way too fast" club.

Very comfortable from the first wearing. Soft smooth insole and nice adjustable straps. Attractive enough to wear with a sundress out and about.

This is my third pair of sandals and I love them. I love the arch support and extra width. Very comfy.

I had high hopes for these for the summer as their slippers and trainers have helped in overcoming plantar fasciitis but they have failed with these sandals. When will manufacturers learn that a wide footbed is not enough to class a shoe as "wide fitting" and that there are other things to take into consideration, like the length of the straps! Vionic please take note as you do not reply to emails! The straps need to be long enough to go across a wide foot and fasten and still allow the centre strap to be in the centre of the foot on top and not off to the side. The straps only just reach the velcro and you can see from the photo how they end up. The footbed was the right size and width but they are let down because nobody thought to make the straps long enough! Happy to help them to design something that works if they would like to get in touch!
