Vionic Women's Rest BellaII Toepost Sandal

I have multiple pairs of Vionic sandals...the Karina was my favorite. The foot bed of the Bella II is comfortable, though I feel it runs a little small. What I don't like is the toe post...it really hurts. I purchased these to go with a dress for my baby shower, so I wasn't on my feet too long. Even still, the toe post wasn't comfortable. Since that time, I've worn these sandals a few times, and each time, the toe post is painful. I'm constantly having to shift my feet in the sandal, and eventually, I just end up taking them off. They are really cute, but based on the discomfort, I wouldn't recommend.Update: I initially gave this sandal 2 stars because they were pretty uncomfortable. I continued to try them out...a little at a time. They now seem to be much more comfortable. Maybe they just need a break in time?? I like the foot bed, as I do with all Vionics. So, I've changed my initial rating of "2" to a "4".

I've had Vionics for years.I'm hard on my feet and just can't do "cute" sandals that kill my back after a day of walking.I first got my Vionics on QVC and after almost 5 years, needed some updating.So was thrilled to find these on Amazon significantly cheaper.Well, after 6 months, they haven't held up like Vionics.They are a foam like suede finish that has started to rub off, where my foot rests.The straps have stretched to the point, my foot slipped to the side and almost fell.They do have the Vionics support that I can wear them all day on my feet and not have back or hip pain.And I'm sure I'll still get some more wear out of them but nothing close to the ones with the rubber vs foam.The same time I got these, I replaced my Karina ones with the rubber and they are still as good as the first day I put them on.So while the Bella is a good short term shoe and a nice way to try out the addictive Vionic feel,Next time I'd rather spend a few more bucks for a better quality model. The Tide lasts well too.$$~ Quick tip to save a few bucks, add the ones you want to cart and save for later.You can monitor price fluctations and buy them when it drops.Good luck & Enjoy.

I wanted to love these. I have extremely high arches and have developed plantar fascitis. The bottoms are fabulous- sturdy, supportive, and better than Merrell's, which i used to love. The problem is the thong part. Although they are cute - they feel like they are always falling off and I'm gripping my toes to hold them on. I have medium width feet so this was unexpected and not typical for me. If i was just standing still they would be very comfortable, but walking in them hurt from trying not to let them fall off. I would return if i hadn't already worn them out 2x's. Will not purchase again.

I waited for a while to do this review because I wanted to be sure that it was based on fair feedback. (I find it frustrating to read 5-star reviews from the same day as something arrived, "I'm so excited to try it! 5 Stars!" ...when the purchaser hasn't even tried it out.)Aside from the minor sizing issue, this is hands down the best feeling sandal I have ever worn. It is soft and comfortable, but supportive throughout my extremely high arches. I used to have pain from Morton's neuroma and plantar fasciitis because I would rather be barefoot and I wasn't properly caring for my feet. These shoes have saved me! No more pain! I wear them all the time. Even walking around the house when I get up in the morning, I just slip them on so I'm not walking on hard tile. I love them! And I get a lot of compliments on how cute they are.I ordered the 9 wide as that is what I have always worn, and it seemed to align with the order recommendations. The straps of the shoe fit perfectly at first. Over the next few days of wear, it either stretched out or maybe the bottom compressed, but it is now just a tad loose on my foot. If I buy again, I may try the size 8 instead.I will say that I was extremely concerned that the shoes would wear down unevenly, because I had a broken left foot and wore an air cast for the first 2 months, so I was wearing the right show only. But the right shoe didn't break down much at all, even though I wear it ALL DAY every day. So within a couple of days of starting to wear the left foot, they look and feel basically even. They hold up well.

I LOVE these. I now have 2 pairs of sandals and two pair of slippers and a pair of tennis shoes from Vionic. I wear my slippers from the moment I walk into the house until I go to bed. I forget I have them on because they mold perfectly to my high arch feet. When i realize I have to take them off and put shoes on I am a little sad. Recently also bought a pair of Vionic tennis shoes but only wear them to the gym. If you have high arches these are AMAZING. From the moment I took the sandals out of their box and put them on my feet, they felt broken in. I didn't have to wear them around awhile. No rubbing from the thong section. It is beautifully cushioned. The comfort level is beyond words. My ONLY complaint is the cost. I paid over 70 dollars for what amounts to a well made pair of flip flops. Having said that. THE best pair of flip flops I have ever owned and would buy them again. Just hope they lower the cost a bit.

I bought this pair as a gift for my Mom as I now have her hooked on Vionic shoes. We both had neuroma's in our feet so need to wear orthotics but neither of us want old lady shoes. This is her second pair of this shoe (she's using the old pair for the beach as she has worn it out). I have the same shoe in a different color and it's very comfortable. The thong doesn't rub the toes at all and is comfortable even for lots of walking. I wear Vionic shoes every day and my feet never hurt. Totally recommend this shoe. I normally wear an 8.5 in regular shoes so I wear an 8 in Vionic and they almost always fit perfectly.

I admit that these flip flops are comfortable and my feet don't hurt while wearing them, but the quality is sub par. I've had these flip flops for less than 6 months, and I only wear them occasionally. But the soles started rubbing off after only a couple months and now it's uncomfortable to wear them because the loose materials rubs blisters on my feet. I expect more when paying $70 for flip flops.

I got the shoes today and got a 4 British size according to the chart ....since I normally wear a 37 European.. 6 American. The description did say that these sandals would be wide. But I had tried my sister's in black and it wasn't obvious. What wide means is a full centimeter to a halfcentimeter of space around my foot that is all sole. I don't like the look. The thong part fits well however so I was reluctant to send them back. Besides I see that hardly any models of Vionics are available in British size 3. The ribbon thong is very comfortable between the toes and the shoe is otherwise attractive and comfortable. I will wear them around the house.

Firstly what did I like - they were comfortableWhat did I disike - whilst I thought these were expensive for a flip flop I was prepared to give them a go due to the reviews I had read about Vionic footwear, however, I wore these for one week in July and just under one week in November on my holidays - less than two weeks wear - you can see how little they have been worn from the picture of the soles I have uploaded, however look at the other pictures and you will see that the straps have started to separate/break where they connect to the flip flop.I requested a return and was declined due to the time that had passed. It is approx six month since I purchased them and certainly less than 12 months. With a flip flop of this cost the quality should be much better than this. I could understand if I had hammered them but I haven't.

Arrived beautifully packed, these toe post sandals are very comfortable really supportive for PF suffers, I do avoid wearing when weather very hot and feet swollen as don’t want to over stretch as these are not adjustable that being the case I take care. Would always recommend Vionic they may be pricey but far more comfortable than using the gel arch support in sandals!

I love Vionic footwear as all the items I have from them give great foot support without looking like orthopedic footwear. These are certainly no exception. The footbed cradles your foot, gives good support and the straps are soft & padded. The denim colourway goes with practically anything & the little bow is a cute touch. Very happy with them!

Suffering with pain in my left foot for over 2 years, physio helped but not a cure, started wearing Vionics and they have been amazing. Tried Strive which made the pain worse, so I now wear Vionic shoes and slippers! Happy feet! I'm a 5.5 but can wear a 5 in the sandles.

Yes this is my second pair they just relive the pain in my foot and help me to walk and quickly is brilliant

Was a little concerned about how they would fit as I have orthotics and not much really works. But they are excellent, so comfortable and I was able to wear them almost all day with not pain. I will definitely be purchasing a second pair.

They are a really good shoe which good arch support

These sandals are attractive & great quality but unfortunately are a wide fit. I am a size 5 & Length wise they were a perfect fit.

Very comfortable and look great with Jeans or shorts/dresses in the Summer.

Nice and Comfy and not ugly!

Extremely comfortable

Perfect fit, but only realised after i think they come in different widths.....don't remember seeing it on the description, other than that excellent

These were bought for my wife, they fit perfect and offer impeccable support to her feet with no discomfort to her heels and ankles as do conventional thong sandals.

my wife has had these type of flip flop for a number of years, she says you wont find better.
