Shoes

[Happiness Is Inside JOB]

I also ordered the TSV, I ordered two sizes to ensure that one would fit, I know they say 1/2 size, size down but I have a new policy, if I really want something, and I'm not sure even after reading the measurements, or not sure of shoe, I order two sizes and then return one that way I'm sure that one of the items will fit. I have wasted too much time ordering, then sending back, then exchanging for another size.  So now, I order two sizes when in doubt.

Thanks for the info Roni.  I hope you love your shoes!  I do rec the Radias highly.  I took them on vaca and walked forever, and they have been fabulous and held up just fine for this year too. The pitch of the wedge is perfect in my opinion.

@SurferWife Did it! YUP! Loved the cork so much, that I went back and picked up the white and black snake. The cork does go well with everything I have been wearing it with. So glad I got them ahead of time to try the shoes out. Late last night I ordered the other two. Very nice shoes.

Decided against the beautiful navy blue, as I only have one outfit that it would look great with. Too bad; that color was awesome.

Way to go! I got the white, but by the time I talked myself into going back for the navy & Cork, they were sold out. Black is still available on waitlist but I don't need black. That's what I get for procrastinating.

Whoah! Just as soon as I replied to your post, just for fun I went back and was able to order the cork in my size! It's been sold out for hours, but Perseverance pays off! Now let's see if I can get the Navy!

@SurferWife Someone must have cancelled their order! YAAAAAY!

Hmmmm......wonder if I should get the navy too.

Even though I was initially drawn to the cork, and the tortoise also looked very nice, for dressing up or dressing down, I ended up ordering white. I do not have any white flip flops or sandals (well just a cheapie pair of white flip flops, but I want a nice pair). As some have noted about the middle strap not being adjustable, I hope it will not be a problem for me with my high instep. I ordered wide width and sized down a half size as they recommend. Keeping my fingers crossed!! 

I almost ordered cork as well, but I have a pair of Birkenstocks in a similar very neutral shade, and ended up not seeing the need for another similar shade sandal. I have the High Tide in navy on waitlist ordered, so the navy in this did not appeal to me. And goodness knows I have more than enough black sandals and flip flops, lol...Plus I was reading the reviews and someone mentioned the black footbed showed everything. In the last presentation with Shawn, I could see little white hairs on the black footbed. I guess that is the faux leather attracting little hairs, etc. and showing up on the black footbed.  

Out of curiousity, what are the little raised dots/circles for..? I am guessing it is part of the orthotic, but can someone explain the reason/purpose..?

I was just able to order the Navy on waitlist! Woo-hoo!! So, I ended up with White & Cork, plus Navy if it comes back in.

Those Vionic TSV Skylar sandals are now the Today's Showstopper in Canada on The Shopping Channel. It will be interesting to see if Canadians buy as many of those shoes (proportionally) as the American customers do. I'm not a Vionic shoe wearer as the hard footbed and the placement of the arch support don't fit my feet. Vionic shoes make my feet hurt.

This is my concern/worry, too. I have never ordered/owned Vionics before, so this Skylar will be my first pair. I have had other similar 'orthotic' footwear in the past that proved to be too painful to wear. Not sure if the pain was a good or a bad thing, but when my feet, ankles and legs were all screaming at me while wearing them and also long after taking the footwear off, I did not want to keep wearing them. I also have the blue Vionic High Tide ordered (on waitlist). 

I've said it before, and I will say it again, I live in a small town so I kind of "have to" order online for shoes. I could drive over an hour away to the closest town that carries Vionics and Clarks (or a decent enough selection, anyway), but they are always sold out of my size in the styles I want, and it is slim pickings to begin with. 

I wish QVC offered free shipping and free returns. There are plenty of arguments to shop elsewhere, but for me, the selection and availabity (at least in my size) from QVC fills that void for me.
