Review
The Vionic Activate Recovery Sandal are comfortable, supportive and cute. The shoes are dressy enough to wear to the office and can also be worn casual with shorts and dresses. These sandals have a small heel and platform, so they look dressier than a flip flop with comfort and support. Another positive is the Velcro under the buckle so you can adjust the sandal for your foot width/size. The one negative of these sandals is that they are heavy, a lot heavier than other Vionic sandals. It took me about a week to get used to these sandals but that is normal because Vionic recommends wearing them a few hours here and there for about a week because they are recovery sandals. I am happy with these sandals and they work well for my wide feet, flat feet and bunions but the weight makes me wear other sandals when I’m walking all day. I bought these in size 7 Wide so they are true to size.
