Viakix Womens Walking Sandals, Comfortable Cute Athletic Hiking Sandals

These shoes are amazing. I had a pinky toe injury and was worried about tennis shoes for our Disney trip. These were perfect. My feet did not hurt ONCE after walking miles and miles a day. They also did not cause blisters. The only slight thing is when I went to adjust them they are a little difficult to loosen back up in the same way. But that is likely human error. So I’d suggest making small adjustments Before tightening them too much. The size was accurate, they did great on areas where it had rained and had great traction and felt safe from slipping. I got the black/grey ones and they are very very cute and went with every outfit.

I absolutely love these sandals. My first pair was a gift, and I didn't realize they were considered hiking sandals until I went to buy another pair in a different color. They have great arch support, the toe loop seems to really contribute to how comfortable they are, and the flexibility of the straps keeps them from ever being too tight. I also appreciate that they come in wide widths. I also like the texture of the inside sole - it is gentle on your heels and the bottoms of your feet compared to some other hiking sandal brands. They are cute enough to wear for pretty much any occasion. Definitely recommend.

I was wary to purchase these shoes, because reviews were limited and difficult to find on the internet, even on the main website for the shoe brand. Based on reviews for other sandals by the brand, I made the choice to try these and hope that they would work for my upcoming vacation. I was not disappointed! I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis within the last year and have been using inserts in my shoes for a while. This was my first time venturing into sandals to help plantar fasciitis without the use of inserts, because I wanted a nice sturdy shoe for walking around and for comfort during long drives on the trip. I have worn them for two days now to get them broken in before the trip, and here is what I observed. Pros: The support on these shoes is amazing for plantar fasciitis, and I actually feel a bounce in my step when I walk. The fabric straps are more sturdy than appears in the picture, and hold your foot in the shoe surprisingly well. I even tried running with the shoes and my feet did not slip out in any way. BTW, the straps are adjustable, which is a bonus. The strap on the back of the foot is soft and does not rub me in any way, which is something I am picky about. Also, the strap that goes between your toes is really comfortable. Cons: Although these shoes are supportive and great for walking around town or maybe even a light trail, I don't know if I would use these for hardcore trails due to lack of ankle support and how open they are on top of the shoe. It is just fabric straps crossed over each other. I have not tried them on the trip yet, so using them in water and walking long distances has yet to be truly tested. I have only used them in daily activities so far. The fabric straps, although soft and comfortable, take a little getting used to at first, but I already feel that they are stretching to my foot. I do notice slight pressure on my small toes at first when I put them on, but then again I have sensitive feet. However, I have no rub marks or blisters as of yet anywhere on my foot, which is a good sign. The shoes are not super easy to slip on and off, because you have to adjust the straps slightly each time you put them on and it has a good grip on your big toe. This may be a hindrance if you are planning on wearing these to the airport and have to throw them on quickly after going through the checkpoint. Perhaps this is a good thing though, because you can be sure it is not falling off your foot anytime soon. I can't say for sure how they would fit a wide foot, because I'm average, but the straps are stretchy, so that's a good thing. I can attest that they are true to size. I am normally a size 9 and 9 fit perfectly without my foot hanging over or having extra room. I hope this review helps someone looking for arch support. I would definitely consider trying some other shoes by this brand in the future as well. :)

I am a big fan of Teva flip flops. I wear their Olowahu every summer, almost exclusively. They are super comfortable and never seem to wear out. Having said that, my beloved Olowahus are not suitable for walking longer distances, especially if your feet are going to get wet. I take my dogs for fairly long walks which often includes walking through wet grass. The Olowahus get slippery when they're wet and I have taken a couple spills as a result. I tried Teva Original sandals and that triangular thingy hits my foot at exactly the wrong spot. I also am not a big fan of the straps, which feel stiff and uncomfortable. So, I saw these and decided to give them a try. These are perfect for me. First, the straps are soft. That seems like it would be a negative but it's not. They are super comfortable. I was worried that they'd stretch out when they get wet but they don't. My only criticism is that the adjustment doesn't always hold so I have to stop and tighten it up every once in awhile. I can live with that. The footbed is comfortable. When they were delivered, I put them on and took the dogs for a 3.5 mile walk. No blisters and no rubbing anywhere. I have fairly high insteps and find the support provided is just right. I am a solid 8.5 in most shoes. With Teva, you're supposed to size up but I always found that sizing down is more appropriate for me. With these, they say to size down but for some reason, I sized up. Size 9 fits fine. They may be a little wide for my foot but the adjustment provided at the heel lets me cinch them up just right. I'll try an 8 next time but for now, the 9 is fine. Overall, thumbs-up.

I love this shoe. I'm a sketchers sandal gal. These gave them a run for their money. I choose these over my sketchers. They are great quality soft fabric. Light weight good arch support. Cute... great deck shoe wig good traction. I like how they clip not velcro. I like the toe wrap as I usually don't. But this one is comfortable and helps lift my foot and shoe without effort. Where as sometimes I'll catch myself curling my toes with sandals giving me shin splints. These no problems. I'll be buying another color. I bought the size 7 I'm a bit of a wide foot fits great. They are adjustable. Khaki color was my choice.

I had to go back and review these sandals. My background - I have wide feet and always struggle to fit into shoes. I get a lot of pinching usually around my toes. I also have get plantar fasciitis and usually have to wear very specific insoles in my shoes to avoid the pain. I was on the hunt for a pair of sandals that stay bound to my foot without causing pain - no loose backs or flat supportless shoes. I'm currently living for 6 months in a travel trailer and needed an open toed sandal that could last and get me through any adventures that didn't require a closed toed shoe. These sandals are very comfortable in many ways. The straps are a very soft fabric with a slight stretch to it. As I walk throughout the day my feet will swell, and these shoes don't have any issues accommodating for that. I was worried maybe about pain between my toes or blistering where the fabric would rub but I haven't even come close to having any issues with that. I really love the cushion on the heel strap. I have had absolutely no issues with rubbing even after hours of walking and being on my feet. Due to my living situations, I double these as water shoes when kayaking or fishing and they work great for that too. They don't get overly stretchy when wet and have good grip on wet surfaces. Also very easy to clean. My only small complaint is that the back strap will sometimes slide down because it is just a bit too big for me. The buckle on the shoe looks like you can tighten the strap, but I noticed that after tightening it will pull back out. This doesn't happen often enough to even come close to a reason not to wear them. I bought two pairs in tan an black just for esthetic variety and love both.

I have been looking for a comfortable, waterproof sandal for several summers. I’ve tried on all the name brands (Tevas, Chaco, etc) and they just don’t fit quite right. When I saw an advertisement for these, I decided why not, I can always return them. But yay, they fit and are very comfortable! Usually I have to break shoes in gradually but these I have been able to wear right away (maybe because there are no straps over the little toes to rub?). The fabric has a bit of stretch to it, so I am hopeful it won’t get stretched out over time. Highly recommend - I might even get another color!

Comfortable but the adjustable straps keep loosening so not great for shopping, etc.

Me gustaron mucho. Tenía miedo de que no fuera lo que esperaba, en cuestión de calzado no soy fácil. Pero me sorprendieron. Soy del 5 en México y me quedaron perfectas. Las tiras son suaves y no lastiman nada. Mi pie es delgado, supongo que si tienes pues ancho puedes prevenir y comprar un poco más grande, aunque las cintas se pueden recorrer y tienen mucho para dar. Yo las compré para usar en calor y sólo me falta comprobar que mi pie respire bien, siento que es muy liso de la plantilla y los siento calientes, eso no me agrada pero ya veremos cómo me va de vacaciones.

I ordered size 6 Viakix Siena sandals on a gamble hoping they would fit my narrow feet with a bunion on my right toe. I was worried that the toe enclosure would aggravate my bunion. I slipped them on and wore them around the house for the day with absolutely no problems! I wear orthotics in a closed toe shoe so my size can range anywhere from 6.5 to 7.5. With the sandals I sized down to 6 and they fit like a glove! The toe enclosures prevent my feet from sliding forward with no stress on my toes! My feet do not roll because the comfortable straps hold them in place and there is space in the footbed to prevent the sandals from rolling. If you are looking for a pillow soft cushioned sole like Sketcher’s you may be disappointed, but the support seems to be fine and I like that they don’t have a black sole that some sandals have that mark the floors! With these sandals you have to trade slide in for secure fit!, but having said that all I do is align my toes slip my foot in and pull the strap up on my heels. So cute and perfect for hot days! So far I’m extremely pleased with these sandals!

I love the sandals and they arrived at my door very quickly. I couldn’t ask for more! Excellent service.

I like these sandals quite a lot! Great fit for my wide feet and bunions, nice arch support, solid tread. Comfortable for lots of walking, and after almost two years they have held up well. They are also pretty much a trail sandal, I'd say they are comparable to Keens and similar brands. I wanted an all black pair (for style) but that wasn't an option when I ordered mine. The heel strap is adjustable which allows for a snug, custom fit. That being said, it makes putting them on and taking them off more involved as you can't just slip them on and off without thinking. Also, if you are in the sun you must diligently apply sunscreen or deal with some weird tan lines. Technically they are water friendly, and that was one reason I bought them as we were going to Mexico and I wanted a sandal that I could wear in the ocean, since water shoes are a pain. But the straps tend to stretch and loosen in the water, and adding the ocean current in makes them flop around. They'll do in a pinch but not for more than a few minutes and absolutely not while swimming. All in all, these are great sandals for walking on land, especially if you have picky feet like me. Not a great water shoe option. Also not good if you want/need a sandal that slips on and off with little effort.

comfortable and fits very well!
