Customer Reviews VIONIC Walker

The length was fine, but, it felt too narrow. I don't know if that's because I'm used to loose slip ons, but, they were really uncomfortable. Also, cut a little on top of my foot at the base of my big toe. I sometimes get WW, so, it may just be the shape of my foot. Unfortunately, I have to return.

Love Vionic sandels and the brand for the great arch support and comfort. However, the toe box in these sneakers was not wide enough even though I ordered the wide width.

Good heel and arch support. Very little cushion under the ball of foot.

Good sneaker for my planters fasciitis, high arches and wide feet. Just wondering why footwear for these problems is always so unattractive.

Ok, so I bought these shoes for my work as a nurse. I needed a shoe that had 1) excellent arch support, 2) available in wide widths, 3) was mostly leather because I don’t want a spill or needle stick in my foot when working (this last bit of criteria was actually really hard to satisfy, so many shoes are mesh these days, which IS NOT protective for work!). So, they are definitely not super stylish, but I have to say they are THE MOST COMFORTABLE pair of shoes I’ve ever worn on the floor. My legs don’t ache at the end of my shift. My feet don’t ache at all. My wide feet aren’t in pain at all. I have never liked the feel of Danskos or other clog type shoes, which a lot of nurses swear by. The arch feels a little strange at first (like too much arch), but you quickly get used to it within a few minutes. The only thing I’m bummed about is that the outer sole (after 2 years) began pulling away off the shoes. And I only work on-call. But I would still buy them again, maybe it’s a fluke. Just waiting for my size to be back in stock.

I have very high arches and the Vionic Walker has the best arch support so far. I've tried the Brooks Ghost 11, and the Vionic Walker is better in regards to arch support. I wear size 7 and these fit true to size. My only concern is that when I walk slightly down hill, the top of my big toes hit the top of the shoe but otherwise, there is plenty of room. Also, the arch support hits the bottom of my foot slightly behind my arch but still feels like the support is there. I think I'm going to keep these because I don't think I'm going to find anything else that has a higher arch support other than my own orthotic inserts. I can't answer on how stable these will be in regards to rolling my ankle. I'd have to get them dirty and worn to figure that out. I hope they work.

The fit and size were good. They are a substantial yet light weight shoe. Great for standing and walking for a long time and great waterproofness. I took them to Ecudadour and walked alot and they were great as well as good for my catering work. Not super stylish but I was looking for soemthing that was great for my foot and these fit the bill.

1st pair had a lump on seam Left little toe. no hassle return and 2nd pair were much more comfortable

Big toe box. Slid off my heal some even though tied fairly tight. Nice sneaker. Nice arch support, not too big. Regretfully sending back. Thanks Zappos!

Feel really great but waiting for 1/2 size larger before final committment. Really is great to be able to try and compare different sizes without spending a fortune on shipping and return charges!!!

These shoes are comfortable from the first time I put them on my feet. I have a ligament inflammation and arthritic arches and they are comfortable.

This is my third pair in as many years and I have yet to find a more supportive shoe that can take the miles these shoes do. I have plantar fasciitis and high arches, and I live in NYC, where I walk sometimes up to 10 miles in a day, so shoes are VERY important to my health. These shoes keep your feet in alignment and give you the heel and arch support you need. Literally the only criticism I have is that I was hoping they would have smoothed out the seams on the inside as they still take a while to break in and rub blisters/callouses on my pinky toes for several months before I can wear them without bandaids. I’ve tried putting moleskin on the inside, but it didn’t help. The wide is a bit too wide for my heel, but the medium fits perfectly other than the seams rubbing my pinky toes. I’m a size 11 and the 11 fits me true to size.

Great footbed. Lots of support for my plantar fasciitis and overpronation. Bulky hot uppers that have inseams that you can feel. Not fashionable. Reminds me of prescription orthopedic shoes. I’ll still keep wearing them though because you can’t beat the support.

Shoes were light and soft on my feet but felt large even with thick soft. Apparently when the removable insert was placed in the right shoe it was creased because I stubbed my toe on it. shoe now days don't seem to have eyelets for the laces. I have feet that are wider in the front with narrow heels.

I could feel the support built into this entire shoe, supporting the sides of my foot, ankle and arch. It also, however, felt a full size too small.

The concept is neat. It almost floats your foot. However, both with and without my orthodic, my ankle is being allowed to pronate. They are comfortable otherwise. Snug fit where I almost thought they were half a size too small and too narrow, however they adjusted on their own to no pinching. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and so far Brooks Addiction Walker is the only shoe which would not allow pronation or supination. I believe this would be a very comfortable shoe for standard, versus complex, foot issues.

I have plantar fasciitis, and need to wear special inserts in my shoes. I read reviews on these shoes before purchasing, and chose them because they would offer the right amount of support. Though the insoles that came in the shoes are good and probably fine for most people,they didn't support my bad foot enough. But, they came out easily and my own inserts fit just fine in these shoes. I walk a couple miles a day for exercise and these Vionic walkers are comfortable.

I'm an Orthaheel fan. My knee pain (kneecap problems) has been much improved with their orthotics. The orthotic in this shoe is excellent but the shoe has a few drawbacks. The sole lacks enough cushioning to feel completely comfortable and it feels a bit like I'm walking on hard plastic. The shoe also seems to run just a bit wide, causing me to have to cinch the laces at the top. The shoe also is not up to the construction quality of my usual athletic shoe brand (Asics).

It took a couple days to work into wearing them all day but once I got there they really made my feet feel good. Nice high arch, flexible bottom, a little bit wider than normal shoes.

This shoe has excellent cushioning and is roomy in the toe area, but still fits securely. It does have a very high arch support that did not feel comfortable to me. The instructions say to wear them a couple hours at a time to get used to them, but my feet were not getting used to them after a couple of days so I decided to return them. If the arch support is right for you then these are a very comfortable and stable shoe. I usually wear an 8.5 street shoe and 9 athletic shoe and the 8.5 in these was just right.

I waited awhile to write this review because I wasn't sure about this shoe. It has excellent support but I believe that is more a function of the orthotic insole rather than the shoe itself. The toe box is very roomy. The shoe strings do not allow the shoe to be tightened on the foot, and I find that the overall look of the shoe is downright ugly. Also, after a few days of wear my feet adjusted to the support, and I realized that these shoes run a tad large allowing my heel to slide up when I take a stride. While they definitely will keep your feet warm in winter, I find they hold moisture and definitely will not work for summer. I have a black pair. This will definitely be my only pair of Orthaheel shoes, do to the lack of adjustability and low style. However, I think I would order the Orthaheel orthotic insoles that they have on Zappos.

These are super shoes, right out of the box. I ordered my usual running/walking shoe size. These give me better arch support than even the Saucony motion control shoes for pronators that I had been wearing. These are much better made than one of the other Orthaheel styles, a covered toe clog, that I also tried.

After suffering for several months with heel pain I purchased Orthaheel flip flops. They helped tremendously so I thought I would give the tennis shoes a try. I am very happy with my purchase. I wear them to the gym and they are perfect and no pain. They do run large so take that into consideration when you buy.

I have a bone spur and work standing on a concrete floor all day. These shoes alleviate 80 percent of my discomfort. They are super comfortable.

These shoes have given me the gift of mobility. The shoes have helped diminish my knee pain that was likely caused by over-pronation. I am interested in getting another pair in another color.
