Customer Reviews VIONIC Wave

I ordered my usual size (10), but it's was too long in the foot bed and the straps were too loose to keep it on my foot. It isn't as stylish as I had hoped, either. I'm returning it.

First time trying VIONIC shoes, needed for the support and bunions. This shoe bed fit nicely, but the straps were way to big. Like for a man's thicker foot. They would work well for women with swollen feet, but not for your average 8.5 women's foot. Have to return and try maybe another style.

looks like a mans flip flop returned

I have bought several pairs in past years of the Vionic Wave, and been happy with the arch support. I bought this pair last year. I read in some reviews that the straps of the upper, which are not adjustable, were loser than in models past, and that this may be because it is no longer a ladies' shoe, but a unisex shoe. But I ordered them anyway. When I got them, I could tell that they were looser than in the past, but this was just a casual shoe, and I thought it was no big deal. It was a big deal. I kept tripping in them. They were little trips, so I discounted it. Then I had two falls that involved injury. When I thought about it, I realized that the looser upper meant that when my foot was off the ground, the shoe was hanging farther down from my feet. So it caught on things like the edges of stairs and ridges in pavement. I've had enough of falling. These shoes are gone. It was a poor decision to make these shoes unisex. Unless you have a more puffy foot (mine are completely average in that dimension), I would stay completely away from these shoes. They are dangerous.

If you read the reviews on Zappos and some other sites you would think these were "miracle shoes". I bought in to the "hype", and I regret it. These are unisex shoes, that I feel would look much better on a man. There is nothing feminine or flattering about them. I also felt like they were heavy/bulky. And if you don't need the extra arch support or do not require help with pronation, do NOT go for these! Reviews can make a product seem like it is wonderful for everyone. Truth is, these shoes are made for a particular foot type. I did not need the extreme arch support, but since they were recommended for pregnant women (on a few independent, parenting sites) I took a chance. I wore them, little by little, for several weeks, and they ended up causing great foot discomfort which turned into actual pain in my feet and then to my back. Since I had worn them outdoors I could no longer return to Zappos. I reached out to Vionic for help in returning. Thankfully they are allowing me to return the sandals to them for a refund, but that entails cutting the straps off both shoes and mailing them back. What a waste!! These sandals are in like new condition, and will now be worthless. I despise returns for this very reason. I, however, will not keep and use a product that causes me pain, and be out money for it. Proceed with caution!

Most comfortable fitting sandal I have. Great arch support. Great fit.

Been wearing these Waves for years. Great fit and arch support.

These sandals are the only "flip-flops" I wear because of their great arch support and because they last. Just purchased a replacement pair after (daily) wearing them for several years.

Great fit and great stability

The foot bed felt great, but the thong was too loose on my feet. It's made for a fleshier foot.

Love these. Wear them nonstop. Great arch support.
