Customer Reviews Of:
Vionic with Orthaheel Technology Tahoe Shoes (For Women)

At first I was satisfied with the outcome until I checked my invoice and realized I purchased them in March. I realize I am outside the warranty; however, I am still hoping for an exception to be made. These shoes did the absolute opposite of what they claim. I began experiencing horrible knee and back pain after wearing the shoes.
I only recently decided to stop wearing them and my pain almost instantly went away. I haven't worn my sandals for a couple of and am now pain free.
I got a response from customer service with zero resolution so in the trash they go! Waste of my money ????

The note on this item states they are sized large and to order a half size smaller. Since I regularly wear 7.5-8 size shoes, I went ahead for the 7.5. To me, it feels just like my other 7.5 sized shoes, so didn't feel it was sized larger than usual. There's no extra toe room for me, at least. They are cute, and very comfortable shoes, which is important to me. Their appearance leans toward a hipster/skater style look, but they are casual shoes anyway. They come with a laced up and spare set of shoes laces in brown and the teal/aqua blue-ish color of the shoe's colors. That's a nice extra.

Right out of the box they fit great and are so comfortable. I considered keeping the manufacturers insoles because they seemed to be very good quality, but I opted for my custom orthotics instead. They are very good-looking and I get a lot of compliments.
I'll wear these through fall and they look like they will hold up really well.

All the reviews said you should order a half size smaller. Well, I wish I wouldn't have listened to them. The shoes are a bit small if I try to wear socks and i can't exchange them because the next half size up is unavailable.

With a tendency to get plantar fasciitis in one of my feet, I'm always looking for shoes
that are both comfortable and won't require adding insoles for extra cushioning. This is the first time
I've bought any shows with this orthaheel they're marketing. At any rate, I do feel that these shoes provide a
very good support and I haven't had to add cushioned insoles.

The shoes initially seemed very lightweight (not flimsy, but just lighter than other casual walking shoes), but
their good arch support sold me on them. They came with a spare pair of brown shoelaces, which is nice. They look
a bit like hipster/skater shoes, but that's no matter. Also, they appear to be a little waterproof, since I walked through
a freshly watered park's grass field with my dog, and the water actually did not penetrate my shoes, as happens
with all canvas type shoes. Overall, I'm pleased, esp. at the price I got them at! While they say the shoes run large
and to order a half size down, since I regularly wear a 7 1/2 size to 8, I did not feel the 7 1/2 sized shoe was small at all--
it's just right. Maybe other sizes run too large, but not for me.
