Vionic Women's Lupe Flat Sandal - with hook and loop closure and Concealed Orthotic Arch Support

As soon as I put these shoes on , my feet felt so comfortable . I love the support strap so I don’t feel like I’m sliding out . I never feel like I need to take them off. Very stylish and the color is perfect for all outfits. This is my third pair. I hope Vionic keeps this style!! Well worth the money!!

These shoes were perfect for a day of sightseeing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I think I will buy them in blue as well. As a side note the buckle is actually a velcro strap. I had mixed feelings about this at the start. However, I am glad I kept them because they offer great support and are really comfortable.

First off, I love the Vionic brand. I have flat feet [duck feet], and as a result, plantar fasciitis is a constant companion. I have several pairs of Vionic flip-flops, and if I could wear them everywhere, at all times, I would.I bought 2 pairs of the strappy Vionic sandals because I need straps to wear them to work.Let me start with the positives.These shoes have the arch support and exceptional comfort that I get from the flip-flops. That's what I was hoping for. That's what I got. I am pleased.They feel great on my feet, although I havent worn them for a full day at work. Today will be that day, but I do believe they'll give me just the support I need.They're also pretty cute. I dont have any problem with the overall design.HOWEVER, these are obviously for people with wider feet. My feet are flat and narrow, not wide. The straps are a bit "awkward" looking.The overall size seems a bit off, as well. I wear a 7. I probably would have got a better fit with a 6.5, it appears.Anyway, I still love them, so fingers crossed for a good day!

Great walking shoe! Good for my very high arches! Super cute and comfy!

Let me start by saying I wear Vionics almost exclusively (the only exceptions being my other brand sneakers and boots but with Vionic inserts). I got my first pair in 2010 when they were Orthaheel.Lupe has the same classic footbed with good arch support. The footbed is the fuzzy microfiber "suede". I'm not a fan of those because they're harder to keep clean, but Vionic has switched pretty much all their (original footbed) sandals over to this, except for Tides. It does feel nice on the foot when new.The leather is very nice and soft. The upper part feels nice and fits very well.I would prefer a real buckle because I think they're nicer (especially for this style with the leather). But they do have at least the fake buckle which looks nicer than a bare Velcro strap. I noticed on the image that the buckle is impossible which is when I checked the description and realized it was velcro. But most people won't be looking at my shoes that closely.I ordered 8M which is my usual Vionic size. I wear an 8.5 in others shoes. Vionic does have half sizes on some of their shoes, but I have found even on those the 8 works better for me.I have high arches and a high instep. The top is not too tight which is nice.I'm still deciding whether to keep these because the back strap area is loose and rubs on the inside of my foot. It seems to be made for someone with taller and /or wider ankles? It's not something tightening the velcro can fix. It's because of the wide cut of the top piece, and the backstrap being angled up so much. I tried to show this in the pic where I'm sitting.UPDATE 3/2021: I did end up keeping these shoes

These are very comfortable shoes. The brand was recommended by my chiropractor for my hip issues. So I got this and a pair of tennis shoes in the same brand. It's definitely worked for relieving my hip pain. They have the most support for my feet than any shoe I have for sure. The cushioning around my foot is very good. Also, the shoes are very durable and sturdy.However, the biggest design flaw I've seen is that if there's water on the floor, the shoes are very slippery over it, more slippery than any of the shoes I have. I have a tile floor, and I've washed dishes wearing these shoes, and even just a little bit of water that splashes onto the floor, I slip and slide, which is very dangerous for me. These shoes are great with carpet and dry surfaces, but I feel like I have to be so careful on tile and wet floors, and good luck in surviving a rainy season.

These are comfortable in the foot bed, but the top of the shoe is rather wide for me. The strap that goes horizontal across your foot doesn't really touch my foot because it is wide. Piece between toes needed to be broken in but is fine once you do. I like the support in the arch.

I found vionic after a foot surgery that didn’t heal as expected. I’m active chasing after young kids and not ready to slow down. I needed support and toe protection with a wide toe box. After months in their slippers (thanks Covid WFH) I tried several other styles. I sent many of the sandals back for sizing reasons. The sandals tend to be very high in the arch and the straps hover over you foot. They generally run a bit big, but going down a full size for the straps makes the footbed too small. I really liked these so I went down a half size. I wish they made more adjustable uppers or fixed this issue— I’ve seen it cited in other reviews.Points for quality, comfort and durability. Most important is the arch support and paddingMinus for the sizing.
