Bay Loafer Boat Shoe

Wasn’t sure about this pair of Vionics. Seemed a bit large (length and width). Put off thinking about returning. Then I fell. Three fractures in pelvis. My husband grabbed these and off to emergency. These were on my feet for 21 hours (X-rays, CT scans-2) until I was transferred to rehab hospital. I’ve been here 12 days, home in 2 days. These are the only shoes I have here, thank goodness. They are slip on style which are perfect. I have other Vionics, but they aren’t slip ons. I Do Not recommend my method for falling in love with a shoe, but I will be forever grateful to these.

I purchased these on final sale for under $20 thinking it wouldn't be a big loss if they didn't work. When they arrived I was thrilled! I ordered the cream color in my usual size 7 and they were true to size with the great arch support you'd expect from Vionic, and color exactly as pictured. The Espadrille accent elevates these beyond the look of your average boat shoe while still being subtle. I will be wearing these on repeat this spring as they will go with pretty much everything!

I own way too many Vionic loafers and slip-ons. This brand really is the best and very reasonably priced. This pair is almost perfect. To have a comparison, the Chantel Penny Loafer Slip-On Sneaker is flawless for my feet. The only issue for me is that the sides are slightly high and rub against my ankle bones. If you don’t walk in them a lot, they’re comfortable. I ended up stepping on the backs of the heels to soften and lower the sides so they wouldn’t rub my ankles. Other than that, I still like this pair a lot (though not quite love). I bought them for $20 so it's still worth keeping.
