I love these sandals! After 3 knee replacements and a hip replacement, and arthritis...I have lived in my Vionic Athletic shoes for 2-3 years! Yes, the same pair! The inside support is great. I never thought to look for sandals by them, but then I just ran across these. Without much hope of being able to wear some really cute shoes,I ordered them. I could not believe how good they felt! I normally don't wear thongs because the strap between my toes,.but these don't bother me at all. I wear an 8 wide, but they only had a M, with no outside constraints they fit well! I am so happy to have comfortable shoes that don't look like my grandma!
