Vionic Women's Rest Amber Backstrap Sandal - Adjustable Orthotic

Our review of the Vionic Women's Rest Amber Backstrap Sandal finds it is best for women who need walking-ready sandals with built-in arch support and multiple adjustment points. The single biggest reason to buy is the concealed orthotic footbed: VIO MOTION Technology provides contoured arch support, a deep heel cup for stability and shock-absorbing cushioning that makes long walks and all-day wear noticeably easier on feet, ankles and knees.

Key Features

• Concealed orthotic arch support: The VIO MOTION footbed offers contoured support and a deep heel cup to stabilize the foot and reduce pronation during walking.
• Four-point adjustability: Hook-and-loop closures at the heel, instep, forefoot and toe let users fine-tune fit for day-long comfort and a secure feel.
• Shock-absorbing midsole: A lightweight, flexible EVA midsole soaks up impact to lessen stress on feet, ankles and knees during extended wear.
• Durable outsole: The rubber outsole with patterned tread is designed for everyday wear and provides traction across a range of surfaces.
• Premium uppers: Quality upper materials give a cleaner look and comfortable contact against the foot while holding up to regular use.

Who It's For

The Rest Amber backstrap sandal is a good match for people who spend time on their feet and want orthotic-grade support without a full shoe. Walkers, commuters and anyone who needs a stable deep heel cup and shock-absorbing cushioning will appreciate the VIO MOTION footbed and the adjustability that customizes fit.

Those who want a minimalist fashion sandal or need a toe-exposed summer slide may prefer a different style, as this model is mule-styled with a backstrap and built-in support rather than a dressy, open-toe slide. If you require specialized medical orthotics, consult a provider since the footbed is built-in and not removable for third-party inserts.
