Customer Reviews VIONIC Walker

I really liked the look of this shoe . The fit of the length ,8 1/2 was good what I usually wear but the width was too narrow. I ordered the wide and need extra wide which it appears this brand does not offer. To be fair I do sometimes take extra wide depending on brand so if you wear a wide normally these would probably fit. The feel of the she was very nice,felt I had good support when walking around the house. I ordered 2 pair of shoes and these were my favorite, wish I could have kept them.

I have back, hip and knee problems. It is important for me to have arch support and just the right pressure on the heel. This shoe works for me. I love the fit as well as the look.

Not enough cushioning. Excellent heel and arch support but very rigid. Pinched toes when walked, shoes not pliable. If insert had some cushioning, would probably keep them.

My first pair of Orthaheel sneakers has been so satisfactory, I ordered a second pair. (I have high arches, wear size 8.5 W and use an orthotic in one shoe.) These great light weight shoes relieve pain in hip,knee and spine, enabling mobility that no other shoe has provided. I am now ordering a third pair in black. I have two comments: 1. The tongues slip to the side during wear. Either the shoe tongues are too short or the small shoelace strap is placed too low on the tongue to keep it in place. 2. If a light weight Orthaheel dress shoe with sneaker-height heel were available I would purchase it in every color!

I did not like these as well as the orthaheel sandals. Did not feel like the arch was supported as well as with the sandals.

Definitely order 1/2 to one size smaller. These run big! I normally wear a 7 1/2, and I ordered a 7W, and they are very roomy.I like that they are real leather. Arch support is definitely felt. Don't know how long I can walk in them feeling that arch.

I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and my Dr. made orthotics are so expensive, I decided to try these. They are nice looking, good arch support, but the inserts were a little bit hard. I added a padded insert and was good to go. My back and knee pain improved wearing these shoes. I would recommend these to others.

Very comfortable. Great arch support. My plantar fasciitis calmed down a lot. Not the best looking shoe though.

These felt odd when I first tried them on, and I wasn't sure about the way they felt on the bottom of my feet, but I'm glad I gave them a chance. I have very high arches, and my ankles will roll in if I don't get a high enough arch support. My foot adjusted to the way these feel quickly, and my knees and back immediately had less pain. I since injured my knee, which hurts, but the shoes are not making it worse, so that is nice. These look and feel great, fixing many of my foot issues, even after long, long days on my feet. I also thought they might be clunky, or ugly, as orthodic-type shoes often are, but they are nice, and lightweight. Wish there were more color options, but that is about it.

Not as comfortable as pair bought 3 years ago- very hard botton.

I was amazed at the poor sizing on these shoes, being Vionics. I ordered a 10 wide. The only wide part of the shoe was the heel. It was as though the manufacturer switched the ends—the forefoot was narrow and the heel was wide. It was laughable looking at what I thought were great shoes. It’s not the quality or construction I’ve always credited to Vionic.

These are very "clunky" shoes. They seem comfortable but the outside is very stiff and bulky.

I have read many positive reviews about this brand and wanted to try it. However, these shoes are not for the truly wide foot. My feet are a C width and a bit on the flat side. I was unable to comfortably put these shoes on. It felt as though the sides of my feet spilled over the innersole. The shoe itself is long and narrow. This is fine probably for someone who has a more normal-type foot. If Vionic wants shoes to fit a wide foot, they need to re-examine their specifications. The innersole is also too stiff and hard for me. Again, these are personal opinions and just because the shoe did not fit me it will probably work for others.

Shoes do run big as in long. I had to order 2nd pair 1 full size smaller. But, I ordered wide width and they seem a bit narrow for a wide width shoe. But surprisingly the fit is good. Arch support is great! I have high arches and have a terrible time finding shoes with good support. Because the arch support is so good, my feet have to get used to the feel of the arch in the shoe. As another reviewer noted the black does leave dye on your white socks. The shoe construction is rather fair for the price being charged. But, overall I will probably keep them as they made my feet hurt the least of all the shoes I have tried lately.

This shoe feels very comfortable and I thought it would be supportive enough for my daily 1 hour walks. However, after a long walk recently my knee hurt, which means that my arch was not being supported enough. I'm back to my orthotics in my old shoes. The orthaheels are comfortable for wearing around the house, shopping, etc. just not for distance walking (if you have pronation).

Runs extremely large in all directions -- there is no option to not rate the stars. Couldn't try it successfully with it being so large -- excellent arch, but in the wrong place because of size.

I'm normally a perfect size 9 but these shoes were about 1/4" too short in the toe. My toes were pressed right into the edge of the toe box. The arch support raised part was not in the right spot for my arch and these shoes felt really heavy for walking.

These shoes were a big disappointment. They have excellent arch support, but way to much for my normal arch. They may be all right for walking in cities and towns where you have sidewalks but if you are out in the country (as I am) walking on unpaved ground they kill your feet. There is no cushioning whatsoever in them, and they are very stiff with no give at all in the sole. I think they would work great if you overpronate very badly, but they did not work for me. I found them very uncomfortable, making my ankles, legs and knees hurt badly. I really feel like I wasted my money on them.

I thought this was exactly what I needed for my flat feet and aching plantar fasciitis. I thought the insole would be nice and soft and comfy but instead it was hard and the arch felt like I was stepping on a rock. I was disappointed to say the least. Maybe the Orthaheel insole in my regular shoe will work. Wish they would have worked.

I was really looking forward to receiving these shoes as I have flat feet and I thought they would be the answer to my problem. As per suggestion, I ordered a half size smaller than I normally would. I need to wear my own orthotic so I removed the orthotic that comes with the shoe, but the fit was all wrong for me when I inserted my own orthotic. Too bad because now I have to search again from scratch.

First : The Right Sneaker is defective on the inside with a sharp bump that digs in to the sole of my right foot outside edge close to my heel. Second: The Left Sneaker has a Broken LOOP in which the laces are supposed to be threaded through. Third: Vionic shoes usually have a built in arch support. There is NO ARCH Support in these Sneakers at all.

I am so disappointed with Vionic shoes these days. Their lasts are all over the place. I have an older pair of the Vionic Walker and ordered a new pair in the same size. They are easily 1/4" shorter and therefore too small. I've had other issues with their sizing being inconsistent, but this is the first time its happened on a reorder. Sending back.

I have followed to the centimeter measurement when ordering these shoes. However, seemingly the manufacturer did not. After removing the stuffing from only one of the pair, my hand hardly fits in.

Received these Orthaheel Walker Shoes from Zappos. I ordered them as I have a bad problem with a dropped arch, severe rolling inward pronation on my left foot. At first they were wonderful but after about 2 months the left foot would not stay stable and starting rolling the shoe inward. I have other Orthaheel shoes and do not have this problem with them. I wish they would not have broke down as they were very good at first. Replaced them already with a pair of New Balance which seem to be holding up better. Maybe someone has a suggestion on how I can fix this problem.
