I just spent $89.00 on a pair of flip flops at the Walking Store. I feel like I need arch supports so that my back doesn't hurt after a few hours. Yes, it hurts to spend that much but mine are made well. They did a scan of my feet and actually said my arches are not flat and not high, but somewhere in between, but I still know that shoes with support will help. I would have felt better spending that amount on sandals, but the flip flops will be worn more and the sandals they had weren't as cute as the Vionics.

I know, it is ridiculous. I have 2 pair.LOL. I spend spring, summer and 1/2 of fall in my flip flops. The arch support is key for me, otherwise I have low back pain and my sciatica acts up, so to me they are worth the $$

Yes, and worth every penny!! I love flip flops for casual wear in the summer but with my back and knee issues, I can't wear the pancake flat ones. I bought the Vionic thong sandals in the Summer of 2013 and I wore them all that summer and all the next summer and I'll wear them this summer too. They wear like iron! I rinse them off either in the tub or under a hose outside and they come out clean and fresh. But, best of all. They are good for my feet and I find them to be comfortable. That's my go-to sandal when we are going anywhere where I know I will be on my feet for a long time. I bought the soft gold color, it's a neutral that goes with everything.

If I thought they'd work for me like Vionics slide-in sandals, I'd buy them in every color, every style and more than willingly pay that $70 price.

It's Birkenstock's for me. Also can be expensive, but they are the best, and have been for (I think) a hundred years.

I have several pairs of the vionic slide "flip flops". I hate toe posts. I had worn another brand of sandals before I found vionic and was having pain in my heels that went away after switching brands. Yes, they are pricey but for me they work and that does it for me.

I ordered a pair a few days ago and haven't received them yet. They will be worth every penny if they help with foot and back pain. I am anxious to try them.

I was having foot and back pain when I was wearing my athletic shoes to Jazzercise and just wearing them on a regular basis throughout the day. They looked new but the footbed was worn down with very little support or cushioning. I tossed all of them and replaced them. It made a world of difference.

I am now a firm believer of a well made shoe with support.

Wearing the Vionic brand has lessened my arthritic knee pain, I can wear them all day all the time, so comfortable. I have found that as I have aged, my feet and knees have paid the price for some dumb and cheap footwear decisions of my youth! with Vionic I can wear a high heel again and comfortably!

I've bought 4 pair of the slides in the last week. I hate a toe post. Now I'm planning on getting the slippers so I have supportive shoes for in the house. It's worth it so my feet, knee and back don't hurt. I just wish they went up to a 15 so I could get some for my husband.

I've worn shoes with an orthotic footbed for almost 20 years.

I was at DSW this weekend and I was surprised to see Vionic on clearance. There were only a couple of flip flops. I think they were 30% off.

I have been a flip flop girl for years . Love them. But 1 1/2 ago, after bunion surgery, I started wearing Vionic sandals. I would never call these sandals flipflops. They are not flipflops! They are very well constructed sandals and are worth every dime!

Love my Vionics. I have 3 pair. So much more than flipflops. Anyone with foot/back problems knows their value.

The price wouldn't bother me if they were for comfortable. But for me, they're not.

I agree they are much more than a flip flop. I own several pair and wear them from March - October. They look brand new even after a few years wearing them. They are not the throw away $9.99 ones. Several people I know have purchased them too after seeing mine. One of my favorite finds on QVC. I justify the cost by factoring in the cost per wear.
