VIONIC

Walk Max

Women's

I purchased these last week. I typically wear 7.5-8 in shoes and 8.5 in sneakers (most recent was Vionic Tokyo in 8.5 medium and sometimes, depending on my socks, it feels like these are a bit snug). After reading the reviews that these Vionic Walk Max run large, I bought the 8 medium. These were a good fit and I even have good toe room. Toe box is wide and roomy. Arch support is very good. I like the slightly elevated sole as it gives them a more stylish/modern look from the side. The sole is substantial which is good for my plantar fasciitis. From the top, they look wide and with a rounded toe but I'm okay with that. The tongue, like everyone says is short and I also found the material it was constructed of kind of weird; it's think and plasticy. The tongue doesn't bother me like it does other people, I just hold it when I'm lacing the shoes to make sure it's fully pulled back. The sides of the shoes come up on my ankle (why I removed one star for comfort), higher than the lower cut Tokyo sneaker, but it's not painful and I only feel the higher side when I first put the shoe on. I bought the cream knit, which is a nice change from the bright white and gives it a more modern feel.

SO COMFORTABLE! Have been looking for a stylish pair of sneakers to take to Europe, where we'll be doing lots of walking. I wear a wide width and have bunions, so it's difficult to find a pair that fits the bill. These are great! Thick, comfortable sole and love the color combo of cream with a gum sole. I'll be able to wear these with jeans! I normally wear Altras for hiking / road running, and luckily these have the roomy toebox that I've gotten accustomed to.

Right out of the box and onto my feet, they laced up and felt comfortable immediately. Not many shoes can claim that. I have extremely flat feet. This has lead to knee replacement and now hip replacement at age 50. When I was in these shoes I can go for longer hours without pain. I will buy more of these. They are light as a feather.

Pure Magic!!! I love Vionic shoes but these are stand-above. I just bought a second pair of these because they are that good. The first day I walked in these they were perfect, there was no break-in period. During the week I walk on my lunch hour on a watercourse outside my building that is dirty, dusty, and covered in goose droppings and they got gross quickly, so I bought a second pair of these for everyday use. Love, love, love!!

Amazingly comfortable and supportive. I'm so grateful for these shoes. I have a chronic illness that causes joint pain and can walk much longer and further with these shoes than any other shoe I've ever owned. 10/10, game changer.
