Vionic Women's Kiwi 24KIWI

These shoes are so comfortable. I have several pairs of Vionic shoes and slippers. Since switching to this brand my plantar fasciitis has completely gone away. The support is wonderful. I wear a size 6 medium width and these run true to size. The strap across the top of the foot is also adjustable for wider or narrower feet.

This is my third pair of this slide. I still have my others. I like having back-up pairs. These are so comfortable. I slip them on when I get out of bed and wear them all year long. In the winter I wear them with socks. I have a pair I wear inside. I have a pair I wear to do yard work, so I don't mind if they get muddy or dirty, although they clean up well. They have great arch support, which is a must with plantar fasciitis. The Velcro allows me to adjust the width if I need to, for socks. These are perfect for me! I normally wear a 6 1/2 wide. I buy a 7 in these. It is possible I could wear a 6, but to play it safe, I've gone with a 7, and they've been so comfortable. The adjustable strap does hang over the side of the slide a bit, but I buy the 7 because sometimes my feet swell and going up to a 7 works best for me. I hope they never stop making these, because there are no suitable substitutes. I love them!

They feel very comfortable, but they run a bit larger (1 sized ). I got size 8 women’s/7 mens I prefer my shoes to fit aright with the right amount of space , definitely not larger than my size

Because of the different reviews regarding the size of these shoes, I was confused over what to order. So I ordered both a size 7.5 and an 8, (even though I mainly wear a size 8). Here is the issue that I believe Vionic needs to fix:The size 7 fits the LENGTH of my foot perfectly... but the molded arch is placed too far forward in the shoe, making my foot not stay in the correct position in the shoe when I walk. The size 8 fits my arch perfectly, but the actual length of the shoe is a touch longer than I’d prefer. If the size 7 had just had the arch in the right place, I would’ve kept them, but I had to keep the size 8, because I didn’t want my arch to not be supported correctly. I believe this length vs arch issue must be the reason others sometimes say that they run big.The above said, I still LOVE this shoe! I wanted a slip-on shoe that I could also wear with socks, and these work well. The adjustable flap is appreciated. And, of course, Vionic’s arch support cannot be beat! I bought 11 other pairs of shoes before finding these! Vionic has one other pair that I liked that I can wear socks with, and I kept those, too. These shoes are sort of “shuffle” around the house shoes... the others are easier to walk faster in. (I’ll come back and edit this when I can look up the name of the other style.) They are called “Pacific Ellie Wedge”... but just a warning to the elderly crowd, if you are at all unsteady on your feet, opt for the slipper type instead of the Ellie ones, as they have a platform sole that can (unless you walk perfectly) cause you to turn your ankle.These slippers/shoes are so nice that I’m sending my Mother a pair for her 92nd birthday.😊 She had the same issue I had, needing a shoe, that still looks pretty, to be able to slip on and off, with or without socks. I don’t know why most shoes with arches are so ugly! I find that most are either decorated with rhinestones, or look like a 200 year old corpse should be wearing them. Vionic is the only company who will have a few styles every year that are pretty enough, yet plain enough, to wear. I tried ordering Skechers new arch support shoes, but their soles are made out of a terrible, foamy type material that squishes with your bad “foot posture”... like memory foam mattresses do with your back. I found them useless because they didn’t support my feet in the proper position. Finding the right shoe is murderously difficult! I won’t wear any shoes without arch support anymore... and I like classic styles and classic colors... so it’s very hard. But I’ve come to the point where I, usually, only look to Vionic for shoes and slippers. Wearing shoes with the correct arch support has completely stopped the growth and pain I had from a beginning bunion... I don’t know why shoes without arches are even allowed to be sold? If only I could’ve told my 20 year old self what my 50 year old self knows now.🙄Hope this helps others with the same needs/issues.😊

I have only used these off and on for one day and I can already feel the difference.I have Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot for almost 2 years. It is driving me absolutely insane as I am still very active and busy and need mobility and independence. Add to that that I like to travel. It has been a nightmare.I wear a men's size 10.5 shoe and the size 11 of the Kiwi fits perfectly. The arch support is somewhat aggressive so be ready to feel pressure in your arches. I thought these would feel like they were going to slip off while walking, but somehow they stay put relatively well. They are built very well using what appears to be high quality materials. They have great traction when the bottoms are wet which surprised me (pleasantly). I do notice that the bottom of my feet sweat while wearing these, but they feel great so that's a small price to pay. I thought these would look like old cheap slippers you find in the discount isle... but they don't. They actually look pretty cool.I am anxious to see if there is any long term benefit from wearing the Vionic Kiwi. If there isn't... that's okay. As long as my feet feel good while wearing them and walking in them. Which, for now, is an absolute truth. Thanks Vionic!

I have waited to review these because I wanted to wear them for awhile before passing judgement. It's been five months and I really haven't worn these on a regular basis because they aren't very comfortable. I have purchased many pairs of Vionic brand shoes, some successful, some not, but generally I have liked them. These are comfortable when I first put them on, but after a couple of hours, the top of my foot starts to hurt. I have worn them with and without socks and they definitely feel better with socks, but I bought them to be my house shoe during hot weather, so socks kind of defeat the purpose. I have tried to adjust the fit by moving the velcro flap, but then the shoe is too loose and I actually tripped and fell one night because my foot shifted in the shoe. I'm giving it three stars, which is generous, but the foot bed arch support is fine, like most other Vionics I've purchased, so I'm trying to be fair.
