Just may have been the pair I bought and sent right back. It felt like I had a board strapped to the bottom of my foot. Flat with no arch support. But really cute. The malibu floral.

I find the footbed comfortable. It's more gentle than Vionics. However, I find they are so wide, I can scarcely keep them on my medium width feet. They are not well made and only last me one short season before they look very shabby.

@nana59 I have 3 pair of Spenco canvas slip-ons. My feet bother me from my RA, and I absolutely have no foot pain when I wear them.

I find them to be comfortable. I have a few pairs. I just saw the TSV and will be getting a pair, not sure what color. I like the ones with some print! I am unlikely to wear anything other than sandals until fall, though, so I kind of wish this TSV was offered in September or later.

I wear these spenco slip ons every day as house slippers and have for over 10 plus years. Very comfortable... good arch support... one pair lasts for YEARS and I can just throw into the washer and air dry to clean them if I wish.

I keep seeing these and I’ve resisted buying a pair so far but it won’t surprise me if they find their way to me one of these days. I wear comfortable sandals around the house so these would probably fit right in.

I loved the look of the traditional canvas slides, bought 2 pair, but they just were not for me. Vionic does not work well for me either.

I can’t wear Vionics; my feet do not pronate and that is what Vionics are made to correct. I can wear Spencos. They are made differently. You might - or might not - be able to wear a different style.

I will say that Spencos felt a bit strange the first time I tried a pair on but that disappeared and my very picky feet like them.

@nana59

Everyone's feet are different, so there's really no "right" answer to your question--you'll have to try them to see if they work for you. I will only say that for me, Spencos are the most comfortable and supportive of any shoes I own. For long walks and hikes, I switch to Keens, but for everyday, all day long, I wear Spencos whenever possible.

Oh, and I can add, I've had various styles think the Siesta slides (which the TSV are) are probably the very best choice for trying the brand.

I love Spenco! I have problem feet and these are wonderful! I hate Vionic. Worst shoes for comfort ever.

I’ll have to wait for a presentation before ordering but I’m betting I’ll end up getting the navy pair. I also like the gray but I need gray even less than I need navy! lol The olive camo might be good, too. The brown shade is one I like but I tend not to wear the shoes I have in similar shades.

I’m thinking I really should talk myself into the Olive Camo pair - they are different and I only have one pair of olive shoes - boots actually. I love navy but I’ve got more than one pair of navy shoes...OK. Lots more than one pair. lol

I’m guessing all options will be available when I wake up in the morning. Got to get my sleep for work!

Anyone else still deciding or already made a purchase?

I did talk myself into the olive camo ones and they arrived today! I’m happy with my choice. I think I could have gone down a size since these came in half sizes but I know I’ll wear socks with them when it cools off. As much as I love sandals when it is hot, I’m addicted to fun winter socks when it cools off.

If the heel was a bit less “sneaker-like” in style I’d be able to wear these to work every day but these definitely say casual Friday to me.
