Vionic Tide vs. Rest/Bella Footbed

I am a true Vionic fan and have many pairs of the flip-flops and slippers.

I was wondering if anybody knew what the difference was between the tide bottom and the rest bottom- construction or support wise.

Is it personal preference, or is one style for one type of issue and vice versa. I know they are different as I can feel the difference when wearing them and the tide bottom runs smaller than the Rest/Bella.

Re: Vionic Tide vs. Rest/Bella Footbed

@ocookie   Another Vionic fan here!  I have found that the rest/bella runs a little smaller then the tide sandal and (at least with the ones I own), the rest/bella footbed feels like more of a suede feel, while the tide is smooth rubber.  Both seem to have the same arch support.

 

As for sizing, I get a 9 in Tide, a 9.5 in Rest/Bella and 10 in their sneakers.  

 

I just purchased several pairs of a Vionic sandal for under $40 a pair - and they were the rest/bella footbed and fit perfectly.
