Like these shoes very much for a good price. I stand on my feet all day and walk a lot. And my feet do not hurt in these shoes. They have great support and good quality. I was first skeptical about these shoes. But I have had them for a few months now. Had nothing to lose because of Zappos wonderful return policy.

Purchased these for my 90 year old mother who is learning to walk following a broken hip and surgery. She loves them and they have the correct amount of grip to keep her steady! Great shoes!

In dealing with heel spurs and an Achilles spur, I have gone through $600.00 worth of shoes with no relief and sometimes additional aggravation in the last 6 months. These shoes are almost like a miracle cure. After the second day, most of the heel pain was gone. This is impressive, since I walk for a living and spend 9 to 10 hours a day on my feet.

Since introduced to Orthaheel I have not bought any other sneaker. I have flat feet and sometimes my ankles would give out on me. But since wearing Orthaheel sneakers I no longer experience pain under my feet nor ankles giving out.

These are great shoes! On one foot I have a big toe (which was arthritic) that now has three screws in it and won't bend. I also have arthritis in the other foot which pinches a nerve in the ball of my foot if I am on my feet for very long. The only shoe I have found that alleviates these problems is Orthaheel. The shoe throws my foot back and to the outside, easing pressure on my toes and the ball of my foot. They are very comfortable, and I can be on my feet all day long if necessary. This particular shoe is also very stylish. And Zappos had them to me in a day. Will order again.

Love Zappos. I am a P.E. teacher and I get ALL of my shoes from them. These shoes are great. They have the orthopedics inside so I don't need to wear my prescribed ones. They allow for extra support so when I am on my feet all day, they feel great!

I have had plantar fascities for years, and these have been the ONLY shoes to give me relief. Within the first day, I felt better. First time in a LONG time my heels don't hurt!
I broke my ankle a few years ago, too, so I have to find shoes that help with stability, too. These do that!
I had seen some reviews that complained that the shoe wasn't stylish. It's a black sneaker. I'm not sure what people expect from black sneakers.
These are perfect, and I will definitely be back for another pair. WELL worth the money!

I've had terrible problems with plantar fasciitis this past year and had to give up tennis for 8 months. My plantar fasciitis flared up my first day back on the courts after finally having about 2 months of minimal symptoms (I believe the vionic orthaheel sandals I wore all summer helped to do the trick). After my plantar fasciitis flare the first day back on the courts, I went home and ordered the Orthaheel technology walker and have been wearing them to play tennis ever since. They keep the plantar fasciitis at bay and are what is allowing me to be back out on the courts! They are not a true "tennis shoe" but they have really done the trick. I highly recommend them for anyone with plantar fasciitis.

I can only recommend this brand. It is the only shoe brand that has helped my plantar fasciitis.

I ordered a wide expecting a wide toe box to relieve pressure on my bunions. These shoes felt like a narrow, not wide. I had to send them back.

I bought these shoes for the first time in 2012. In the past 15-20 years there were days that I couldn't even walk my feet were so bad. Fast forward 15 years, I only wore gym shoes with my orthotics not the most attractive look with slacks. After starting to wear these I found I was more comfortable with the original insole and not my orthotics. I slowly started finding shoes with a little heel that didn't hurt (Naot, Precious) look for the rubber soles. This past month I wore a shoe with a 3 1/2 in. heel to a wedding! (Naturalizer, Danya) I no longer ever wear my orthotics, I can't help but feel these shoes helped in that transition.

Very comfortable right out of the box and lightweight. I really like these and they make my feet feel much better when walking. Wear size 6, bought size 6, fit perfectly.

These are super comfortable shoes. They provide great arch support. They have a roomy toe box, hence the feeling of half a size larger. They are probably not the most fashionable looking athletic shoes.

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.
