Oh yes. I love their slippers a whole lot.....HERE'S what I have now. I love them and may end up getting another pair for back up. I like some of the other footwear, too. Bought THESE cuties (in pewter) a while ago for the fall and winter. Really cute with tights, leggings, and other casual wear.

I do not necessarily need the arch support but have a pair of slippers and a pair of thong sandals. They both are very comfortable.

@aok27502 - It's nice to hear that your massage therapist recommends Vionics!

I, too, like sandals that can get wet, which is why my sandals are all made by Keen Footwear. In fact, they can be tossed in the washing machine to be cleaned (and set in the sun to dry - never in a dryer).

OluKai makes sandals that are water friendly. They have good arch support, too.

But, I'm looking for ankle boots, not sandals. The ones under consideration are:

While I was typing my response to aok27502, Rhizo and GrammaJ responded. Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you like your Vionics!

Now my dilemma is, do I buy them now, or do I wait and tell my Hubs to get them for me for Christmas???

have you looked at them on QVC? they had some on a day or so ago. you could search there for them and they usually have a video clip of the presentation. that might help you seeing them on someone and in motion.

I bought some Alegria shoes about 2 yrs back and love them. qvc sells them but I didn't get mine thru it. they do have some on amazon but none I like as much as the ones I have.

Yes they are very good. I have extremely flat feet. Dr. Comfort is also a good brand. Spenco is awesome I have several pairs of theirs.

Yes, and while I like most of them, I find some are too wide for me, especially in the heel. The styles are nice too. They do seem to offer good arch support, but I can get better relief from PF with Super Feet inserts in my sneakers, hiking boots and other shoes they can fit into.

Love those black Jolene boots!

DesertSteph, I hadn't even thought to look on QVC. Thanks for that tip! While I don't think I'd purchase the shoes from them (you apparently can't return for a refund, only an exchange), it is nice to be able to see the videos of live people wearing them and moving around in them.

Raven - yeah, I like those, too, but right now I'm leaning more towards the Madeline.

I would go ahead and buy them and if you like them and they are great for your feet, ask for another style for Christmas. On another note, I have always returned things to QVC for a refund. I do think you can return for another size without additional shipping fees and I have only done that once but have returned a few things for refund. Please double check me on that but I do order quite frequently from them. Good luck finding something that works great for you.

The language (copied/pasted) from the QVC site on the page for the Vionic Madeline boots:

"If you're not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, our return policy allows you to send back returns-eligible merchandise within 30 days of the date you received the package for an exchange. Simply use the Q Return Label within 30 days of receipt to return your item for a free replacement of the same item in a different color or size. If your request for an exchange results in any additional merchandise or shipping costs, and you paid by credit card, your credit card will be charged for those additional costs. Payment methods other than a credit card may result in an order cancellation & a refund may be issued. If the requested exchange is no longer available, including items on waitlist and advance order, QVC will issue a refund and not deduct the Q Return Label fee."

To me, that sounds like the shoes could be exchanged but not refunded.

shoes.com has them too, free shipping. 20 percent off right now.

I have had some Vionics ankle boots for a couple of years. Extremely comfortable. Extremely. (I have had plantar problems and seed corn problems on the balls of my feet too.) These boots may be good for one more winter, then I may have to find another pair. They are my favorite winter shoe.

Littlebug, what is the name of the ankle boots you have?

Well I can’t find a style name on them. If there was one on the inside, I’ve worn it off.

I remember when I first got them that the arch support was very evident, so much so that I wondered if they would ever be comfortable The salesperson convinced me so I bought them. The second time I wore them, I was in love.

Taryn Rose also has some really cute and comfortable shoes. She was an orthopedic surgeon previously.

Littlebug, I love the low heel on those boots. I had a pair of ankle boots from Easy Spirit that had low heels just like that, and I loved them! I just looked again at the "boots and booties" on the Vionic website, but they no longer have your boots. And I agree that Orthaheel is not the name of the style.

I would very much like to have a new pair of ankle boots that have a heel like yours and the ones I had by Easy Spirit, but I can't find any that I like. I like the height of the shaft of the Madeline by Vionic, but the heel is 2.5" which is what gives me pause. If I were still working and needed to "dress up" every day I'd be more inclined to get them. But the lower heel on the Serena is more appealing to me.

Terilyn, I will check out shoes by Taryn Rose. Thanks!

@littlebug zone 5 Missouri - I'm looking at Vionic shoes on Amazon right now, and I just saw your shoes! The style is called Adrie. They have the taupe (looks like your color) and dark brown in size 7, and black in size 6.

Well how about that! I love them and thought maybe they were no longer produced. A note: yesterday I went to have a massage inside a local beauty shop. I was wearing my boots and noticed that one of the hairdressers was wearing the same boot! She loves hers too. And, of course, she's on her feet all day.

I wear Vionics almost exclusively. They have changed my life. If you need aggressive arch support I highly recommend them. Their 'Tide' line of flip-flops are amazing, you can't believe how much support they've molded into what looks like a regular flip-flop. If you order direct from their website, they offer a 30 day wear test guarantee:

OUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT

We're confident you'll love our support. In fact, we'll give you 30 days of wear-testing to make sure that you do. If you're still not convinced, we'll happily refund your purchase.*

For the greatest comfort, we suggest wearing our shoes for a few hours at a time for the first few days to allow your body to adapt to our biomechanical orthotic technology.
