Vionic Gemma

this slipper is great i have ordered numerous times for my mother finally ordered myself a pair and now i will not wear any other slipper!!

I have plantar fasciitis, and so began the task of finding supportive slippers to wear around the house. After reading many, many reviews, I ordered these in a size 10 (I normally wear a 10.5, which is the unicorn of shoe sizes) based on recommendations in the reviews. They fit perfectly!! I have a normal width to narrow foot (a regular width fits fine usually) and these were a bit wide at first, but the velcro ensured that I could adjust them to my feet. I wear them with and without socks and they're great. The support is phenomenal. The material is soft and doesn't get smelly if you don't wear socks. They're well made and the sole is nice and durable without being heavy. I occasionally wear them into the basement or to run out to the garage to start my car.Are they the most stylish pair of slippers? No. Will you thank the people who dreamed up this slipper once you begin wearing it? Yes! Sometimes function is more important than looks. You might balk at spending this much for slippers, but let me tell you, they're worth every penny. These, along with other things I do such as yoga, help my plantar fasciitis stay away. I will continue to buy this slipper as long as they make it.

Sturdy, great support shoe but extremely heavy in comparison to prior purchases.

I prefer to go barefoot but I have too many foot issues to leave my feet unprotected. I have peripheral neuropathy, plantar fasciitis and bunions. I have tried dozens of slippers only to be disappointed until now! I was looking for a summer slipper that would work for occasional outdoor use, protect my feet and offer good support. My foot are comfortable, protected and they are kind of cute! I highly recommend!

Slippers are very comfortable, support my foot pronation inward from having flat feet and look great! I'm very pleased with my purchase.

These are so much more than traditional "slippers"! They offer all the support you've come to expect from the Vionic brand but in a a comfy slipper. There is a velcro adjustment so you can make a very custom fit to the width. They have a sturdy sole (you could easily wear them outside to get the mail) that adds to the support and comfort. The black/gray zebra print is really cute and makes them a little more fun. These run pretty true to size. I usually wear a 9 or 9½ depending on the shoe. I sized up to a 10 because I like to wear socks. They seem sturdy and like they will hold up to a lot of wear, but I've only had them for about a week.

I rarely write reviews but I felt I needed to warn others since these house shoes/slippers arenot inexpensive. I purchased the gray and black zebra print.Not DurableI am retired and purchased them as house shoes. I have worn them daily for only six weeks and I am shocked to find the sole is already starting to wear down.HORRIBLE STINKMy biggest problem is they have started to smell and my feet now stink. I shower every day and I cannot get the stink off my feet. I finally threw them out today when the smell woke me up last night!!! They were on the floor next to my bed. I’m going to soak my feet in an antiseptic to try and get rid of the smell. What a waste of time and money.WidthI have wide feet and depending on the style, usually buy wide or extra wide. When I purchased them there was no width choices so I assume it is a medium width. These are very wide. It probably would be too big and dangerous for narrow feet since one could easily walk or slip out of it.Hard SupportI personally like the hard insole and arch support but I imagine if you are not familiar with Orthoheel you will be surprised and/or uncomfortable at first. There is a period of adjustment but it works well for my back issues. I am sorry they did not work out.I do not recommend.

I read nothing but great things about these slippers, that's why I bought them. I got them a week ago, the material is very soft, something that I really like a lot about them. They seemed uncomfortable at first but the label says that they will feel uncomfortable at the beginning until your feet adjust to the shape, so I gave them a try. But after several days of wearing them, they are still uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, exacerbates the problem I have with my sciatic nerve. I don't know if should I have bought a bigger size, maybe? Whatever it is, I can tell these pair don't feel right to me. I'm very disappointed and would like to return them but since I've been wearing them for a week I don't think that I can do that. It's so upsetting because I waste my money and still don't have slippers to wear.
