Gemma II Mule (Women)

Because my worn out pair of Vionic Sadie slippers were a size 8 and were always a little roomy in fit, I bought the Gemma II Mule slippers in a size 7. The size 7 also seemed roomy after wearing them a few days. I compared them to my old pair by fit and by measurement. They measured almost the same from toe to heel! I was able to do a very simple exchange on the website (which was great!) for a size 6, figuring they must run quite big. Unfortunately no. The size 6 was much too small from toe to heel. I had to return them for a refund. That was also a very simple process which I appreciate. Unfortunately, I've lost my confidence in buying from this brand online and will be looking elsewhere.

Like all Vionic shoes, they run on the wide size, so if you have narrow feet, you'll need to use the strap. Thankfully, the Velcro strap makes adjusting the slippers easy. There isn't as much arch support as I'd like, so wearing them all day isn't an option for me (I over-pronate and have metatarsal pain, so I need a firm arch). They are lovely to step into first think in the morning, and when I get home from work.
