Vionic Women's Sadie 361SADIE

I have self diagnosed plantar fasciitis. I could not get out of bed in the morning and walk to the bathroom without hobbling in pain. My feet hurt all day. It has gotten this bad since we moved into our house with beautiful hardwood downstairs and a beautiful hardwood staircase. I put these slippers on and can walk with no pain! I work from a home office so I wear these from the minute my feet touch the floor in the morning until I go to bed, unless I leave the house of course. They have a thick rubber sole. Great for me because that means they’ll last longer and I wear them out in the garden and to the mailbox. The arch support is very good. Some reviews complained the arch support was too much and the shoe was too hard. Well, I have been wearing Dearfoam slippers with memory foam and added arch support insoles for years, so the adjustment was quick and easy for me. The directions say to wear a few hours the first day then increase each day. By day 3, I was wearing these 16 hours a day. I also like that they have Velcro to adjust the width. I have had these for less than a month and I do wear socks with them so I will tighten a bit if they stretch out. You could not take these slippers from me with a knife; I would fight you, lol. Now I walk around the house in a normal gait and no longer complain about foot pain all day. For the price I paid, it was only about $15 more than the dearfoams. I would pay $100 more. Give these a try and I hope they work as well for you as they do for me.September2021 update: Fast forward 16 months. I wear these slippers 16 hours a day! I work from a home office. I even wear them at lunch to go through a drive through. I take them with me in trips. I still put them on as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning and I have no foot pain. They have held up incredibly well. The soles are wearing but held up better than I expected. The fabric inside under my right heel has worn down one layer but no damage on the left. The decorative metal disks on the outside have lost the chrome down to copper color on the outside. And that’s it. They are nit ready to be replaced yet, but when they are needing to be replaced I will not hesitate to buy another pair! Give these a try for sure. I am now looking at Vionic sandles and low heel shoes and trying to catch a cute pair on sale.Update June2023- after wearing these about 14 hours a day for 3 years (I work from a home office), I’m still loving them and they still work. No plantar fasciitis when wearing these. They have stretched and I just tightened the adjustable Velcro strap yearly. I had to add an inexpensive insole since the material in the inside wore away. The decorative metal disks are now a pretty silver color as all the gold color wore off. Just this week, the tip of the sole on the top of the right slipper has pulled back and torn a little. Alas, I will order a new pair. In summary, they lasted an amazingly long time with continued support. I will not hesitate to purchase another pair, even if they are expensive. They are worth it to me.

These are the only house shoes I will ever buy again. Great support for my high arches.

These slippers are perfect support and comfort for wearing due to knee injury!

First let me say… if you are someone with flat feet, foot issues, or need support from shoes… look no further. Vionics are the slippers your looking for. I have incredibly flat feet. I’ve seen a podiatrist and had custom orthotics made. They have a chart of 0-24 with 24 being the most excessive foot over pronation (aka flat feet.) I am a 23 on that scale. My feet have no arches and require a lot of support. Arch support is a must for me to be pain free. I have custom orthotics which I wear in my sneakers, but I have all hardwood floors in my home and it’s become painful to walk around barefoot. Rather then wearing sneakers inside my home all day I decided to give these a try as recommended my podiatrist and physical therapist. They’ve worked out really well and helped support my flat feet in my house.This Vionic brand is the only brand with true arch support. Ive tried cheaper no name brands off Amazon that boast they have arch support. But what came were flimsy insoles that squished down under the weight of my feet providing no support. But Vionics have a firm arch support that doesn’t bend or give under the weight of your body. Thus they do what they should and provide support to your feet. They do take some getting used to. The first day I only wore them for an hour or two at a time to allow my feet to adjust. The next day a few more hours until I was at the point where they felt totally comfortable. If you find the slippers feel hard or uncomfortable on the bottom of your feet at first, I highly recommend you give them the proper time to adjust. Any structured support feels almost like walking on a stone in your shoe at first if you’ve never worn support. But after a couple days of acclimating a few hours at a time they will feel comfortable.I tried 4 different styles of vionic slippers. These Indulge Sadie slippers are a slip on, open back style. The top has an adjustable Velcro strap that can be made tighter if you have narrow feet or looser for wide feet to slip in. I find this to be really nice to help hold the shoe on a little tighter when walking. The bottom has non skid tread and the inside has a soft plush material that keeps my feet really warm.COMPARISON TO OTHER VIONICS:This style of these Indulge Sadie slipper is nearly identical to the Indulge Carlin slipper. They both have the same exact structure firm arch support, open back style and adjustable Velcro closure. However the materials are very different. The Sadie has an all over velour material on the inside and outside. While the Carlin has a soft furry sherpa interior and a more durable quilted fabric outside. I wear socks with my slippers and found the velour inside of these Sadie slippers to cause my foot to slide when walking. However my feet do not slide in the Carlin style. I also question how long the outside of these slippers will hold up over time due to the velour type material. Ultimately, I went with the other style, the Indulge Carlin because they didn’t cause my foot to slide and the outside seems more durable for longer wear. For that reason I had to give these slippers 4 stars. For anyone looking for the closed back slipper version of these they’re called Vionic Indulge Jackie. They’re exactly the same as the Carlin but with a closed back.As far as sizing I am an 8.5 but found the 9 too big and the 8 to fit just right. I’d say these run a little large compared to other slippers and shoes. I hope this review helps anyone out there with similar foot issues!

The slippers are really comfortable and give me the support I need to help the Morton's Neuroma foot condition I have. However I would have liked the inside sole to be removable because I need an extra support beneath my left foot owing to another condition. I am reluctant to try to remove the sole because it is very well made and I don't want to damage the slipper structure.
