Customer Reviews VIONIC Bella II

I bought this style, in my true size, at the beginning of last year. The straps were a bit snug so that is why I said it "feels smaller." After they got wet a few times and I wore them wet, they stretched out to fit perfectly. They held up perfectly after getting wet,too. Stitching is all still snug! One of the great things about these is that your foot doesn't slip in them when they are wet. If you get caught in the rain, no problem. I also answered a question about removing the bow. I knew as soon as I bought them that the bow was going to go. I replaced it with a decorative button and I think it looks way better. The button stayed on fine after they got wet and a few trips to the beach. After wearing them all last summer, they barely look like there is any wear except for (where my kitten chewed them and) the discoloration of the footbed. P.S. the easiest way to get the footbed clean is to get them wet, at the beach, and walk through the sand. It takes all the discoloration away! Excuse the pictures. I go to the beach, in two weeks, and those footbeds will get cleaned.

These are adorable and very comfortable with good arch support. In person I actually didn't mind the appearance of the bow but found it to be VERY annoying with the little metal ends hitting my toes. I cut the bow off without any problem with a pair of small cuticle scissors. It does leave a small line across the top where the stitching is removed, but in my opinion this is worth the trade-off of not having the bow.

Finally a cute flip flop style sandal that fits my wide Flintstone feet. I have a really hard time finding cute sandals that don't look matronly. The arch support is great, so they feel good on.

Love this shoe! They looked great with shorts and sun dresses. I wore them on vacation and my feet didn't get tired. I usually wear a size 7 1/2. I ordered the size 7 and they fit perfect!

These are great! The footbed on all the vionic with orthaheels are identical. It's just the top of the shoe that varies. Theses were very comfortable and filled the need for a 'comfy but OK to wear to work flip flop.' Returned because I had to decide between these and the Julie II, identical shoe bed, just a top ankle straps and flowers. The Julie II were just much dressier and cuter. But all in all this is a GREAT FIND! Comfy and cute, just a bit too casual for what I need.

Cute shoe, would love it in a solid black. Hoping the leather will give a bit. It does cut in over my large toe.

I had high hopes for the Bella II, because it came in narrow. But my foot is also a low volume foot, and the straps to hold the shoe on my foot sat a little too high, so that they didn't really function to hold the shoe on my foot securely. I didn't love the bow, but would have tolerated it if the shoe had fit properly. Back they go, but I appreciate Vionic trying with a Narrow shoe (so many of their shoes are too wide). With plantar fasciitis and a Morton's neuroma, it's a tough shoe world out there! Thanks, Zappos, for your great return policy!

I've been wearing Vionic sandals since they started selling them about 20 years ago. (They were called Orthaheel back then.) I have loved them since day one. After many years of wear, I have nearly corrected my plantar faciitis. I don't do well with closed Vionic shoes (they just never fit me properly), but the flip flops are my favorite shoes. I have dozens of pairs (Vionic shoe addict here) of them in various styles and colors, and look forward each spring to seeing the new offerings. I got the floral pair and they are very cute! They are not quite as pictured... The floral pattern is more red and blue than the pink/green pictured, but I still love them! A few years ago, the arch support in Vionics wasn't as great (I think they temporarily switched to a different manufacturer) but this pair is back to the prior standard feel and comfort. I'm coming back to pick up a couple more pairs. The bow is a nice decorative touch, and I don't lose the comfort I've come to expect by opting for a slightly more feminine looking flip flop.

I wear a size 7M but in the Vionic sandals I wear a size 6. In their shoes, I wear a 7. I love that they give my feet so much arch support. I am on my feet at least seven hours a day and when wearing my Vionics I have no leg or back problems.

Felt great standing still. But as you can see there's a too long strap that gave me no stability when walking. I have very flat feet. With the Orthoheel I could wear a size 8 because of the arch support. These (Vionic Bella II) are a size nine, and my heel was on the back edge.

I have very narrow feet, 10AAAA, and Vionic Bella II are great, along with wonderful arch support. I have some extra room by the straps, but not too bad. Curiously, the only difference I noticed between the narrow, medium and wide (someone accidentally sent me the wrong width) was the width of the footbed, not the amount of room the straps had. So my foot wiggled the same exact amount in each pair, and I found I liked the mediums equally, and even fit into the wide, despite being a quad-A. Note that there is a little variation in fit (the white narrows that came fit me more a tad more snugly than the black ones).

These are hands down the very best sandals I have ever bought. They were so comfortable right out of the box. Cute for shorts, but also perfect to go with office wear and skirts. I love Vionic but you have really outdone yourselves. LOVE THEM.

I love that these are a little dressier to wear with Capris or Skorts!! Since I've been wearing Vionic, my heel spur doesn't bother me anymore!

So glad to have found this excellent line of arch support sandals. Great for those who have pronation problems. Very classy look, dressy and smart.

I live with plantar fasciitis and tailor bunions on both feet. I bought these for support and everyday use. They are true wide and seem to have wonderful arch support. They are flexible on my feet and are cute with a lovely black tassel feminine touch. The one issue I have with it and reason I only gave them 4 starts is the shoe is very slippery the rubber at the bottom slides on my tile floor and makes me feel unstable. I don't know if that will go away or will get worse with time. Going to give them a try because they are comfortable other wise just scared of falling.

I own several pairs of Vionic sandals. I don’t understand what has happened to the sandals since Vionic bought Orthaheel but things have changed. This style of sandal (which isn’t that cute but I will sacrifice cute for comfort) used to run a bit slimmer on the foot and have way more arch support. Not anymore. The straps are really wide. The arch support just isn’t there. Not worth the price.

This is my second exact same pair. Size, color, style. My feet are comforted in them. The arch is so much better than wearing flat sandals. I wear them every day, all day, with shorts, long pants, short skirts. I would be so upset if they were no longer made in this precise style. I called to order. The person taking the information was pleasant and the sandals arrived quickly, exactly when promised. I've ordered sandals and Thorlo socks for my husband from Zappos for years. Always perfect service. Never been disappointed in any way. Thanks Zappos!

Love my Red Vionic sandals! They are very comfortable and stylish. I have bought Vionic Sandals for years. They have the high support that I need, and because I have mid-foot arthritis they are perfect for me.

I love the shoe. Bought it because of plantar fasciitis and doctor saying no more bare feet in the house. The shoes immediately felt good on my feet. The only negative is they are slightly too wide, even though I bought a narrow, but still wearable.

Love these sandals! How to glam up the flip flop! Comfortable right from the box. I wear them a lot. Only wish is that they didn’t wear out so fast. At this price the heel should last the summer. But I will reorder

Cute and comfortable. The straps are narrow and the bow adds a feminine touch. The arch support and heel cup are sufficient but not as pronounced as the Vionic Tide.

Started wearing my orthotics as I had pain on the top of my foot due to flat feet. I asked my podiatrist what I should use for sandals on my upcoming trip to Australia and she recommended this brand as well as Keen and Berkenstock. I liked this style the best so ordered it. Seems to fit although it is a bit tight. Since it's leather I figure it will stretch out. Haven't worn them for any length of time yet but presuming it will work out fine. Gave it 4 instead of 5 stars due to the price. Lot's of money for little to no material.

I really wanted these and need the arch support but did not like them at all. Fit was good but they looked like cheap tops on a great supportive foot bed. The bows really cheapen the look too. I’ve sent them back for tried and true Berkies

Adorable, comfortable & stylish. I usually wear a 9 in medium width; Zappos recommended I try the 8.5 M instead. I did, and the footbed was perfect. Oddly though, the straps were a little too roomy. I returned them and ordered an 8.5 Narrow from another vendor (bc that size was sold out on Zappos), and that size fits perfectly. I love them.

Too wide. Cute shoe.
