Vionic Women's Midi Comfortable Slip-On Loafers - Arch Support & Cushioned Footbed for All-Day Wear | Perfect for Work, Travel & Casual Outfits

Would be a great shoe if it came in my sizeI usually wear 9.5 and ordered 9.5 M. This is my first pair of Vionics. I've had lower back, hip, knee issues and was looking for good support. One of my feet is almost flat due to fallen arches, the other has tendonitis in the top of the foot and is a tiny bit bigger on the top. I was very concerned about the shoe pinching that foot and causing pain. BUT! pleasantly surprised after the first day of wearing all day long. I'm a traveling teacher so I'm on my feet all day. These shoes were great the first day! They seemed snug at first, but really, they fit just right. I'm so used to shoes being loose or tight in places. these were snug, but really offered support super well. No pinching, and the footbed supports every part of your foot. My feet were not as tired at the end of the day. Today, I will be wearing them in a parade. I will update in a few months. Also, there is NO room for a sock. If you need to wear socks, I'd order a half size larger or maybe a wide width.This shoe was ordered in my usual size 9.5 M in black on black. It is a very nice shoe for casual wear. It fit beautifully with room for toes to move around. The footbed was removeable and is black as well. If you wear Vionic be aware that some of their styles no longer have a removeable footbed.I love the style of the shoe for everyday wear. However, it was much too large in the toebox and way too wide. After trying them on several times I just felt as though my ankles were giving way with these shoes. Seemed to me the arch support was much less than usual Vionic shoes.Note: I can no longer find a way to rate the shipping method on Amazon. I will say that shipping two pair of shoes in a plastic bag is not going to work. I ordered two pair of Vionic shoes and the boxes were destroyed. I had to tape them back together in order to return them. Both box lids were in tatters. My daughter said she recently ordered shoes and hers were shipped the same way and the boxes were destroyed.I almost ordered a 9.5 instead of my usual 10, based on other reviews. And, I have had Vionics in the past that ran a little large. These, however, were much too small, my toes were completely squished and my heel was hard against the back. They were stamped 10 inside the shoe, but they were simply not size 10s. Maybe mislabeled? Also, they were packaged in a plastic bag rather than a shoebox, which made me wonder if they were returned before. That said, it seems like a nice shoe. I like the look (in black) and the insole. They are substantial without being super heavy clunkers. I feel like I should reorder 10s and try again, and/or try the next size up, which unfortunately is 11 ... but not worth the hassle of dealing with these sizing/labeling issues. Glad the return is free. UPDATE: I subsequently tried on another pair of 10s and the first pair I got from amazon were definitely mislabeled. The second ones ran a bit large (but OK).I wore these shoes for 10 hours the first day and didn't have a problem until the last hour! lol! I started to get a blister on my toe--but considering that it was the first time and I wasn't wearing socks, that was not unexpected. They seem really well-made. I sprayed them with waterproofing spray, just in case. I like the way Vionics have great arch support, and these are no exception. I am sure I will get a lot of wear out of these shoes. I ordered my usual size 7.5 and they fit well without socks--I could probably also wear with a thin sock.Despite these shoes being a bit roomy even after I ordered a half size smaller, I do like these shoes. They're fashionable, comfortable, and I can wear them with jeans or leggings. I'm always looking for shoes that have an arch support and I think I've found that in this brand - Vionics. The only complaint is that the stitching in the back of the shoe kind of pokes my skin on my heel. It feels like I'd get a reddened area, but I don't. Weird. And I don't think a larger size would remedy that. That's the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars. Otherwise I really recommend this shoe!!I really wanted these shoes to work out, but for $85 they just weren't quite right enough. I was a little disappointed by the gray color, which looks like a medium-light "greige" color in the picture (the same as a pair of Vionic booties that I have & LOVE), but in person these shoes are darker - more of a wet cement color. Not a total deal breaker, but coupled with the fact that they ran a tad long in the toe for me (but could not size down due to width), & were a little stiff/heavy....all things I could have gotten used to, but not for the cost of these shoes. Especially compared to the Vionic Honor Virginia boat shoe/loafers that I just got, which are much more comfortable & almost 1/2 the price! Sadly returning....maybe I'll try them again if they go on a lightning deal some day.These would be perfect except for the inside of the back of the heel really needs more cushioning, it cut the back of my heel when I wore them without socks for the first time on both feet. Added moleskin or socks and problem solved but I don’t normally have that issue with flats. Other than that very cute and comfortable and good arch support.Currently having them stretched at the cobbler, they fit small.
