These are the best athletic shoes that I have ever owned. I was having severe foot pain, tender heels and chronic hip pain. Wearing these alleviated all of it.

I'm very glad I purchased this shoe. It has a very strong arch and once you get used to it, you don't even notice it. Personally, I feel this shoe has helped my piriformis syndrome. I plan on buying this shoe again as it seems to be very well made and worth the money.

This is my second pair of the walkers. I liked the first pair so well that I needed to replace them. The support is great. when I started having trouble with my feet I thought I would have to give up my nightly walks, but they have been just what my feet were screaming for.

I normally wear 8.5 wide New Balance and ordered same size with Orthaheel Technology Walker and the sizing felt the same to me. I was feeling the beginning pains of plantar fasciitis in one foot (which I've suffered from before) while wearing New Balance and wanted to try Orthaheel to see if it made a difference and it did. I'm still feeling inflammation pain when I take off shoes at the end of the day but I am now able to walk a considerable distance across a hot asphalt parking lot several times a day at work with none to minimal discomfort in foot or legs. I believe the all leather construction gives better support although they're hotter. Small price to pay to avoid further plantar fasciitis. Wish the leathers came in more fashionable color choices.

I love my Vionic walkers. They are comfortable enough to wear all day while on my feet, and still wear them in the evening for a three mile walk. My knees are pain free.

I really wanted to like this shoe because I have orthoheel sandals and I love them. Returned the walker for a wide and still felt my pinky toe was rubbing on the support of the shoe. It is like there is a covering inside the shoe that supports the side of your foot and it came right to my toe. Each time I took them off I could see a red mark on my toe. Glad I didn't wear them outside. Thanks to Zappos for the great ship/return policies to be able to find the perfect shoes....still looking

Wow! Thank goodness for the dear woman that told me about these shoes! I injured my foot and was diagnosed with acute plantar fasciitis. Two months passed with continual pain. Tried some foot exercises which gave little relief. Then I ordered these and the improvement is amazing. So great that I've passed the information on to my nurse practitioner. There are many more styles available from this brand and hopefully Zappos will add to their selection.

I am a walker who logs 100 miles a month. I have purchased this shoe (4) times. Each time it is true to fit and wears nicely. Love how comfy it is! I have a bunion and it's no problem with this shoe!

I just switched to the Vionic with Orthaheel Technology Walker after several decades of buying New Balance. In the last ten years, New Balance quality has been declining, in my opinion. I found the Vionic to be far superior in comfort and quality and is also doctor recommended.

Not the prettiest, but by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Now that I use this one (on my second pair), it's ruined all other shoes for me as nothing compares.

I am now wearing my second pair of the Vionic Orthaheel Walker. I am completely satisfied with them. They have helped my feet so much on the concrete floor we have at our Production Plant. I recommend them to anyone with issues with planter fascia or feet problems. Also Zappos is great always speedy time frame on shipping and no shipping charges either.

These shoes are very comfortable. With planters fasciitis my every day walks were painful. These shoes allow me to go for longer walks again in comfort.

These were recommended by my PT who specializes in orthotics. They are currently the only shoe on the market that fits my foot, and orthotic, and also gives the support I need. This shoe comes with a stabilizing insert, but when the insert is removed , an orthotic fits nicely. The toe box is wide. They are also marvelously lightweight.

LOVE my first pair of Orthoheels. They have plenty of space above the foot, which is great for someone with high arches. This allows room for additional inserts. I did have to get over the fact that I have big feet and the shoes are glowing white, but, the comfort outweighs the color. I did have to break them in a little as there is a little vent towards the big toe that bent just at my big toe. But, after once or twice of wearing them, I have had no more issues. Definitely looking forward to more pairs of Vionics.

If you have foot problems and work out, then this is the shoe for you. I have plantar fasciitis. I have 5 pair of high dollar sneakers in my closet, not bought from Zappos incidentally that after I wore them just long enough that I could not return them that started hurting. I run 3 miles on the treadmill in Vionics with my inserts and have done this for approximately one month with no problems. Thank you Zappos and thank goodness for these shoes. I had just about given up hope.

This is my second pair of Orthaheel Technology Walkers. I have had plantar fasciitis for 17 years. This is the only shoe that has given me relief from the pain of being on my feet all day. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

When I put the shoe on I was immediately impressed with the shoe. My heel was wrapped in secure comfort. Although I normally wear an 8.5 wide in other brands this shoe was too large. The look and quality are wonderful. I reorder size 8 in wide. The length still seems a little long but I was not sure a 7.5 would fit so I am wearing them. I wear a heel lift in my right shoe and am using it with these. I will be purchasing any future shoes from Zoppos. I am so happy I found you company/shoes.

These shoes are wonderful! My feet no longer feel tired or sore after a long walk. I did a lot of research before choosing Vionics and decided these sounded best. I'm glad I chose them!

I have suffered for over 10 years with plantar fascia and have worn custom orthodics. It has always been a problem to find shoes that worked well with the orthodics and were comfortable. Now the orthodics were no longer working for me. I tried a pair of Vionic flip-flops and fell in love with the support so I tried the Orthaheel Technology Walker. After wearing these for about 2 weeks, my heel pain has been reduced. I am finally able to walk around my house without shoes for short periods of time. I love these shoes and will be purchasing another pair. Although they are a bit pricey, they are well worth it if you are someone like me who has suffered for so long.

I bought these shoes for my mom. She has been having hip issues for a while now, and it was causing difficulties in her walking. After just a brief time wearing these shoes, she felt she had more stability and she didn't experience discomfort in her feet anymore. She even wears them when she is in the house, because she likes the support it offers. She liked it so much, that I bought her the same shoe in another color.

I love this shoe. The only problem is when you have to wear another shoe. I can't wear any others without my foot hurting and my leg cramping up at night. I live in these tennis shoes.

Like these shoes, they really help my plantar fasciitis. Though I bought a wide width, they are still a little tight, but hopefully they will stretch with time.

I usually buy New Balance walking shoes, but had recently purchased a sandal from Orthaheel and found that the arch support, etc. was perfect. So, I purchased the Vionic with Orthaheel Technology Walker and it, too, has the same wonderful arch support, comfort, and better price than many of the New Balance walking shoes. I just ordered a second pair of these walking shoes.

These shoes provide wonderful support and are extremely comfortable. They feel a little large but I wasn't sure it was a whole half size. I figure they are sized to accommodate a thick sock. I love these shoes and will buy another pair when these wear out. I wear them also when I volunteer at the hospital and they look good there as well as being great for walking hospital halls. Excellent arch support.
