The Vionic Indulge Sadie womens slipper might just be the solution needed for dealing with heel pain problems due to plantar fasciitis. Its upper and lining are made of textile for that comfortable feeling while the footbed is made of terrycloth-covered EVA foam. Meanwhile, the outsole is made of TPR.
It’s one of the few slippers that received the APMA Seal of Acceptance, allowing it to be placed on top of the list of the most coveted footwear for plantar fasciitis sufferers. It’s also fairly lightweight due to the materials used for its construction.
Apart from that, it also has an orthotic footbed that’s fitted with the Orthaheel technology for that superior comfort and pain relief. Lastly, if you’re aiming to be fashionable while remaining comfortable, then the Indulge Sadie won’t disappoint you as it comes in 8 different colors and styles to choose from. Meanwhile, the size ranges from 5 to 11.
Arch Support
The Indulge Sadie is one of the best slippers with arch support, which coincidentally has received the seal of acceptance from APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association). As a matter of fact, the features of the slipper are podiatrist-inspired, especially its specially contoured insole.
The footbed of the Indulge Sadie is anatomically contoured to conform to the shape of your feet. This allows for a perfect fit. Apart from that, it also has a terrycloth cover to make sure that you can remain comfortable while securing the best tight on your feet.
Another amazing feature to note is that the Indulge Sadie is fitted with biomechanics (something that’s typical among Vionic footwear) to provide your feet with adequate support while making sure that you’re comfortable. The interior even comes with a soft lining that will keep your feet warm during cold seasons.
The Indulge Sadie has a Velcro strap which is easily adjustable to ensure a perfect fit and has a hook-and-loop closure. It’s covered by the same material that covers the upper. Moreover, it has Vionic’s silvertone button detail embedded. The adjustable nature of the strap makes the slipper ideal for those who are suffering from swollen feet as they can adjust the footwear’s width and tension with ease.
Heel Support
The Indulge Sadie comes with a deep heel cup that will help stabilize your foot and provide it with enough support when doing various activities such as walking or standing for long periods. It also helps realign your foot back to its natural position and can even reduce the stress on your knees, legs, and feet. Another thing worth noting is that it can work well for those with over-pronation issues.
Since the heel cup is deep enough that it cradles your heel, you won’t have to deal with issues of slipping. It’s also wide enough that those with wide feet won’t have any issue with the fit.
Outsole
As mentioned earlier, the outsole of the Indulge Sadie is made of TPR or thermoplastic rubber. This is more than enough to make the outsole durable and can last long even under constant usage. It also features a wave pattern that adds to its traction.
However, since it’s designed to be an indoor slipper, its overall traction isn’t that commendable. It works great on hardwood surfaces and floors, though you should be a little bit careful when walking on wet surfaces.
Overall Feel
One of the best parts about the Indulge Sadie slipper is its amazing level of comfort, as most of the reviewers have to say. They pointed out that the Sadie works great as a home slipper considering that it’s cozy and warm, especially during rainy or winter seasons.
Moreover, all of the reviewers who reviewed the slipper’s strap appreciated its adjustable nature. They mentioned the top strap being nice to their fit and allowing them to secure a tight yet comfortable fit. Overall, the majority of the feedback for the slipper mentioned it being really comfortable.
Also, those who suffered from pain due to plantar fasciitis mentioned that they were able to feel relief from wearing the slipper.
Use
The Indulge Sadie is mainly an indoor slipper. It’s not designed for use on wet conditions, especially on the beach. It’s not meant for hiking either due to the lack of proper traction on the outsole. However, it does work as a casual slipper which you can use for outdoor wear, provided that you only use it on dry surfaces and pavements.
Due to its textile upper and textile-covered footbed, washing it is not recommended. To clean the slipper, you will have to use a clean cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Moreover, it’s not waterproof nor water-resistant, so avoid submerging it in water or use during wet conditions to prolong its durability.
