Vionic - your shoes are good and they definitely serve a purpose....I have several sandals.  However, anymore, your prices are so out of site....the suede lace up A287628 is so darn precious - would love them but for $119.95, absolutely no way.  Why are you pricing your shoes out of the normal middle class price range?  Come on Vionic, stop insulting the ladies with these prices.  I also have bought several slippers and sandals for my daughter and granddaughter but with your current price ranges.....no more.....you loose a good customer.

However, I cannot blame you 100% because QVC has jacked up prices to high....I'm sure to pay for the half million dollar annual salaries for your hosts.  Good luck going forward Vionic.

It's probably a simple mold they use for each size - that can't cost much - it's not like they are re-inventing the footbed with every pair they make - you're right - but to me their prices were always ridiculous for what you get.

I agree!  Most of their footwear isn't even leather.  When it is leather, it's really cheap leather.  I've tried them twice.  The foot beds are hard as a rock.  They are really a cheaply made line of shoe that's overpriced for the cheap materials they use.  Many often look cheap.

It isn't just Vionic... the price of leather shoes have skyrocketed and the Q is making sure that their brands are keeping pace.  When Vionic came out, they were just starting to sell in Dillards.  I tried on a pair and yeoww... no way are they for me, but besides that, the price for what was being offered blew me away.  I thought (aside from the orthotics) that they were made with junky materials (this is just my opinion) as I love really well made, high quality leather shoes and the ones sold in the beginning weren't even leather.... 

But yes, the prices for shoes (anywhere) have become outrageous...

Keep your eyes on Zulily as the frequently have them featured and they're usually in the $40-50 range. 

I just got Zulily to accept a pair back because the ones I ordered turned out to be men's shoes but they weren't marked as such.  Good looking Vionics too; a loafer style of heavy canvas in a natural color.  Actually, they refunded my money, gave me a $10 credit and told me to donate the shoes.  They were $41.

Actually, Alegria is my orthopedic shoe of choice, and Zulily often has them on sale too.

I love my vionic sandals.  I always buy from 6pm.  Free shipping, receive them in about 2 days, and best of all they're at least $20.00 cheaper.

Have been stalking the high tides in black.  Waiting for a sale~~~~

Not to go off topic, but Clarks have really gone up too - most of the ones I like are in the $100 range

I own two pairs of Vionic sandals that I bought about about two years, think they were a TSV. Same style but different colors. Love them and so do my feet. Still look brand new and I wear then almost everyday during the Summer. The prices are crazy now. Just glad I bought them when I did.

[MoJoV]

Maybe all the overseas manufacturers of those shoes upped the prices.

I have 6 pairs of Vionic. I did not had any major issues with them.

One of the last TSV - the booties in suede deteriorated after just a few (count less than 7 wearings). The heel rubbed during driving, only to uncover white plastic underneath the black heel. I went to cobbler, colored it. It rubbed off within 3 days. The stains on the suede could not be removed. Oh, and heels are made from white plastic, and they slip when you walk!!! I fell twice in orthotic vionic shoes on the flat surface. I wrote to Vionic rep, he said he will contact me, and did not respond back. I contacted QVC and they were great. The problem is, they sell winter styles in summer, and summer styles in winter. You have the shoes for 3-4 months before you are able to wear it. I would not buy, nor recommend this brand to anyone, inspite the fact I did not have problems with their sandals.
