Is the Vionic Tranquil good for plantar fasciitis?

Yes. It has a deep heel cup, firm arch support and ball-of-foot cushioning, which is what most people with plantar fasciitis need in a house shoe. Expect a firm feel rather than a soft one.

Can I wear the Tranquil outside?

Yes. The sole is sturdy enough for short trips outside, like the mailbox or patio. It is not a walking shoe for long distances.

Does it run true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size. If you are between sizes or have a narrow foot, size down, since the backless mule can slip.

Can I wear it without socks?

Yes. The shearling footbed is meant for bare feet and keeps them warm. Socks work too, but the shearling will mat faster with heavy barefoot wear.

How does it compare with Vionic's other slippers?

The Tranquil is a closed mule with a shearling footbed, so it is warmer and more enclosed than Vionic's open-toe and thong slippers. The arch support is similar across the line.

Our take on the Vionic Tranquil Women's Slipper

The Vionic Tranquil is a mule-style slipper with a shearling-covered footbed and Vionic's signature orthotic support: deep heel cup, arch support and ball-of-foot cushioning. It is built to be worn indoors and out, with a firm sole rather than the soft foam of typical house slippers. That support is the main draw for people with plantar fasciitis, flat feet or sore heels, and the main complaint from shoppers who wanted a plush, unstructured slipper. Compared with drugstore mules, it costs more but offers real arch support; compared with Vionic's own open-back slippers, it is warmer and more enclosed.
