Re: Vionic Size Inconsistency

@GinaV24   I forgot to mention the issue of the footbed itself being slippery too.  I'm glad you mentioned that.  I did order their last TSV, but have not yet received them.  I'm hoping for the best

Re: Vionic Size Inconsistency

I have probably bought 50 pairs of Vionics on the Q but now they are so unreliable. Sigh. I find certain models on DSW.com and i can return at local store free no problems as needed, but they don't have all models.

Re: Vionic Size Inconsistency

@cheriere  Glad to know I am not the only one that the slippery inside bothered. My older Vionic/Orthaheel sandals had a great sueded or cork footbed that really worked for me. Then they went to whatever they are doing now which is really awful & considering the price, really annoying.

 

I ordered the "amber" sandal that Leah showed on Saturday because it is a slide sandal & had a backstrap which should help it stay on.

 

But if the footbed isn't right when I get it, back it will go and that will probably be the end of my buying Vionics at Q.

 

fingers crossed!

Re: Vionic Size Inconsistency

Unfortunately I will no longer order shoes because of the fit issues. It has happened with Vionic, Skechers, and Clarks for me.

@GinaV24    I really hope the Vionics you ordered work out.  I love a sandal with a blackstrap too.  Please post when you get them.  Thanks 😊❤️

Yes; for me ordering Vionic is hit or miss. Some are fine; same size in different style is too big. Same with Clark's. That gets expensive paying for returns. At least Vionic is usually free shipping to get. Clark's last tsv was $5.50 so I contemplated if it was worth taking a chance. $5.50 plus $6.95 to return is not appealing.

I have worn anywhere from a size 7 to an 8 1/2 in Vionics. It seems that a 7 or 7 1/2 in the Vionic thongs work for me but if I'm wearing a closed shoe then I need an 8 1/2.  How crazy is that?...same brand!

 

ETA:  Back in the fall I ordered Vionic loafers.  At first I got a size 8 1/2 but they were too big so I sized down to an 8.  Well the front of the shoe worked for me but my heel kept slipping out.  I even got heel gripes but my foot wouldn't stay in the shoe.  Back they went!
