Vionic womens Kiwi

I just bought my 4th pair of these Vionic Kiwi slides. I bought the first pair after months of struggling with painful plantar fasciitis, after reading a review that these helped someone else. Within a week my plantar fasciitis was gone for good! I work 100% from home, so I wear these every day, and the pain has never came back. They are very comfortable, great quality/long lasting, they provide great arch support, and somehow they keep my feet both cool in the summer (my feet NEVER sweat in these) and warm in the winter (even without socks)! There must be some special coating on the footbed that helps with this, so I make sure I use a gentle cleanser when cleaning. I've even worn them hiking, and with the velcro I could strap them tight enough to scramble up and down the big rocks with ease. Of course I would never recommend others hike or rock scramble in slides, but it's just a testimony to the versatility of these sandals. Overall, they're AMAZING and my 100% go-to favorite casual footwear!

I like the construction of the sandal and that it is adjustable. A little rough to get used to as I had been wearing worn out sandals. However I could feel my whole body adjust because my feet were positioned the way they should be. The sole seemed to 'warm up' and adjust to the support my feet need. Happy enough that I bought a second pair. I will most likely buy a third pair soon. Remember, slow introduction. I started with an hour a day. Increased this by an hour every couple of days. Otherwise your feet will tell you you over did it.

I like these shoes because they are comfortable and supportive. I’m only giving it for starters because they are a little clunky at times but other than that no issues or concerns. Happy with the purchase. My feet are very thankful as regular slides were causing a lot of toe and ankle pain but these shoes have eliminated that.😊

Durable, very comfortable; my second pair!

Because of the different reviews regarding the size of these shoes, I was confused over what to order. So I ordered both a size 7.5 and an 8, (even though I mainly wear a size 8). Here is the issue that I believe Vionic needs to fix:The size 7 fits the LENGTH of my foot perfectly... but the molded arch is placed too far forward in the shoe, making my foot not stay in the correct position in the shoe when I walk. The size 8 fits my arch perfectly, but the actual length of the shoe is a touch longer than I’d prefer. If the size 7 had just had the arch in the right place, I would’ve kept them, but I had to keep the size 8, because I didn’t want my arch to not be supported correctly. I believe this length vs arch issue must be the reason others sometimes say that they run big.The above said, I still LOVE this shoe! I wanted a slip-on shoe that I could also wear with socks, and these work well. The adjustable flap is appreciated. And, of course, Vionic’s arch support cannot be beat! I bought 11 other pairs of shoes before finding these! Vionic has one other pair that I liked that I can wear socks with, and I kept those, too. These shoes are sort of “shuffle” around the house shoes... the others are easier to walk faster in. (I’ll come back and edit this when I can look up the name of the other style.) They are called “Pacific Ellie Wedge”... but just a warning to the elderly crowd, if you are at all unsteady on your feet, opt for the slipper type instead of the Ellie ones, as they have a platform sole that can (unless you walk perfectly) cause you to turn your ankle.These slippers/shoes are so nice that I’m sending my Mother a pair for her 92nd birthday.😊 She had the same issue I had, needing a shoe, that still looks pretty, to be able to slip on and off, with or without socks. I don’t know why most shoes with arches are so ugly! I find that most are either decorated with rhinestones, or look like a 200 year old corpse should be wearing them. Vionic is the only company who will have a few styles every year that are pretty enough, yet plain enough, to wear. I tried ordering Skechers new arch support shoes, but their soles are made out of a terrible, foamy type material that squishes with your bad “foot posture”... like memory foam mattresses do with your back. I found them useless because they didn’t support my feet in the proper position. Finding the right shoe is murderously difficult! I won’t wear any shoes without arch support anymore... and I like classic styles and classic colors... so it’s very hard. But I’ve come to the point where I, usually, only look to Vionic for shoes and slippers. Wearing shoes with the correct arch support has completely stopped the growth and pain I had from a beginning bunion... I don’t know why shoes without arches are even allowed to be sold? If only I could’ve told my 20 year old self what my 50 year old self knows now.🙄Hope this helps others with the same needs/issues.😊

I wear 5 1/2 or 6 shoes. Most of the time it is a 6 that I buy. Since these only come in whole sizes I stayed with the 6. I ordered two pair and immediately realized they were too large for me. Although you can tighten the strap, that did not keep the shoe in place for me. I sent the larger size back and ordered a pair of size 5. Those fit me really good and my heal stays where it should which is necessary to get the full benefit of the shoe. As stated they have to be slowly worked into wearing and thus it was for me. I have had them about a week and I am very glad I bought them but they do not completely relieve my plantar facsitis however they do help some of the time. I only wear them around the house which is where I am most of the time but if I stood on them a lot I am not sure they would help or hinder the pain in my feet. I have PF in both feet and have had it about six months.Having said that, when I get up in the morning, which is the worse time for pain and stiffness in the feet, I have these by my bed and put them on right away. I immediately find relief with them so I know they help to some degree. These sandals are something I feel you have to try for yourself plus I am still getting use to them so I may love them in a month or more. They have helped enough that I ordered a second pair so I would have a pair to wear out shopping (the real test) and another pair for inside the home. I will update once I have had them longer.You can tighten them snug to fit the width of your feet as long as you have the correct size. I also have a bunion on my right foot so I wanted something I could adjust. I can tighten these and they do not hurt or aggravate my bunion at all. Actually the paperwork says they are suppose to help with bunions too.

I use this for around the house wear and I walk pain free. I have knee problems resulting from poor alignment and these sandals are a tremendous asset. I bought another pair in a different color when I ssaw the price.

They are comfortable and easy to slip into and out of. Easy adjustable

Cette sandale est de bonne qualité. Par contre je me suis un peu trompée en prenant la grandeur 10 pour homme qui équivaut à 11 de dame. J'aurais dû prendre un point plus petit.

They are good for my ankle

I have try many sandal but not good as this vionic. I have use for 4 pairs already. 1 pair can last for 2 years. Hope Vionic will continue have this sandal available.
