Customer Reviews VIONIC Walker

This is my 2nd pair of Orthaheel Walkers -- I wore the first pair out! I wear almost nothing else. (I do have another brand that I put Orthaheel insoles into.) I have 2 requests 1) MORE COLOR CHOICES 2) MORE STYLES MADE IN LEATHER! Those of us who actually wear these shoes to exercise do not want man-made materials!

I had a pair of these for several years and needed to replace them. I ordered a size 6. It fits much better than the first pair that I had in the same size. These are not too large as some reviewers have noted, and they are no longer extra wide for my narrow foot. Following surgery, I have a problem with my feet that essentially makes these the only sports shoe I can wear without pain. I am very pleased with the fit and the performance. Would order them again and I hope they do not stop making them.

I have had foot problems for over 4 years and these sneakers have helped me immensely in being able to walk in less discomfort. I wear the black ones with my work clothes and the white ones with casual and to exercise.

Fat person who acquired a personal trainer (a dog) and am now walking a lot. These shoes alleviated my heel pain. My trainer knows when we are going out for a good walk if I put these on.

I have plantar facialitis and these shoes have really helped. I have not been wearing my brace at night and my feet are not as sore first thing in the morning. I recommend these shoes to anyone who have problems with the plantar facialitis. The toe box is very roomy. I normally wear an 8 and had to send them back and exchange for a size 7-1/2.

After suffering for twenty years with plantar fasciitis, and going to three different podiatrists for help, a chance encounter at a shoe store introduced me to Vionic style and technology. I am thrilled. The walker shoes are my fifth pair of Vionic shoes. I am going on a birding hike in them today. I am surprised at how well this technology works, even in flip flops and sandals. If PF bothers you, this brand will provide stylish relief.

I found these shoes on the Zappos site. I've had problems with my heels from standing for long periods of time. When I saw these I thought I would try them out.

I have worn this style shoe before and loved them. They were so comfortable, so I ordered again. The pair I received are so uncomfortable. I don't know if they are defected. I would like to exchange for another pair of the same style.

These shoes were recommended by my doctor. I could not find them locally and I knew that Zappos would have them. They are better priced than the store that said they could special order them for me. I got them the next day. They are great. I love this place for shoes, purses, etc.

I ordered, I blinked -- and my shoes arrived! And what shoes they are. I've long been a fan of Orthaheel flip-flops/sandals, having bought a pair of the Wave sandals when they first appeared on the market. I've suffered on and off with plantar fasciitis, having managed to get through a good nine years pain-free, but it reappeared out of nowhere, even though I've been diligent about wearing footwear with pronounced arches and deep heel seats, and not standing or walking barefoot for more than a few minutes at a time. Now that it's back, no shoe seems to offer enough relief. I ordered these because I've had a good run with the company's sandals, and now that I'm soon starting a job that will require many hours on my feet as well as closed shoes, I immediately turned to Vionic/Orthaheel. I sweat that from the moment I put these on and took a few steps, I felt no pain. NOTHING. And I'm always in pain. I totally recommend these shoes, as well as the brand in general, for the relief of plantar fasciitis or for healthy feet in general.

I have had planter issues in the past, and currently was having a lot of heel pain. I'm sure I was pronating. As soon as I put these on (mid-day) the support was evident and my feet began to feel better. By the later evening my heel pain was gone. I'm sure a few more days will have my inflammation gone now that I have the proper support. I'm strongly suggest these sneakers. I do have orthotics, but felt that the insoles that came with these are just as good if not better due to the heel support.

Inadvertently ordered an incorrect size, plus bled black on my white socks. Easy return. Now I wear black socks with the shoe. Fast delivery. Good customer service.

This shoe has the best arch support of any shoe I have owned. I wore them all day and my feet felt great. Just wish they were a little more stylish.

I had a knee replacement and I started having problems with my left foot. I read the reviews and bought the shoes. Wow! With the shoes I have no pain anymore. Great!

I am 79 years old and have trouble finding shoes that were comfortable for walking since I tore my medial collateral meniscus when I was 16. I have had a full knee replacement and a replaced hip. I will admit I have done a lot of damage to my knees and feet by wearing high heels when I was in a business that required me to be on my feet sometimes 6 - 8 hours. (I pronate severely. Just a little of the history of my feet and knees.) I also blew out my plantar fascia. I was introduced to Zappos by a local shoe store that sells only orthotic shoes, when they had nothing for me that was comfortable. That was two years ago and these are the only things that allows me to walk. I am still wearing my first pair as I will admit the second pair I bought squeaks a lot when I walk ('tis kind of embarrassing when trying to sneak up on someone). Am ordering my third pair of sneakers and second pair of slippers, never had slippers that keep me from pronating as the ones from Zappos.

I was diagnosed with planter fascia and after spending hundreds of dollars on shoes these were the only shoes that my orthotics worked with and being on my feet for 9-10 hours a day.

This is the second pair of Orthaheels I have purchased, The first pair was true to size. I had to order a half size larger this time. Perhaps the Vionic label, since added, runs small? I hope Orthaheel continues as a grat choice for people with high insteps. I have all but given up on New Balance.

Very comfortable shoe. Arch is pretty good but I put my Super Feet (green) insoles in which made them perfect. I purchased for the cushioning for my back. Athletic shoes don't always have enough.

I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are excellent. Just the right amount of support. Look nice and very comfortable.

I have developed plantar fasciitis and bought this shoe to help give me needed support. When I went to my podiatrist, he said it was exactly the right type of shoe. It seemed a bit uncomfortable in the heel at first (which was what the shoe manufacturer said would happen). It now is fine and my foot is doing much better. I would recommend it to anyone who needs extra support and has plantar fasciitis. In fact, I bought another pair in another color. As normal, Zappos was quick in getting the shoes to me. Thank you Zappos!

Zappos shipped it to me free of charge, got it to me quick & in excellent condition. Love these shoes. Very comfortable. Hope they help my plantar fasciitis.

Wearing this shoe all but cured my back, hip, foot and ankle pain! Absolutely the best shoe you can buy if you suffer any kind of pain when walking. This shoe aligns your spine, something other sneakers won't do. Tremendous arch support. Well made sneaker that should last a long time. I made the mistake of wearing this shoe gardening and they are still covered in dirt. Wearing winter boots and shoes this winter have wreaked havoc on my back once more so if I can't clean my Orthaheel's I'll be getting a new pair!

Love this shoe. This is my second pair. I am a 6 1/2 and that is exactly the size that fits in this shoe.

Wonderful, supportive sneaker after a total knee replacement. Good for alignment issues after surgery. Knee feels great even on uneven surfaces.

I bought a pair of these to try out because I am a nurse and have a hard time finding decent shoes. I also have plantar fasciitis and don't like to where my orthotics. I love these shoes. They keep my feet comfortable and don't hurt at the end of the day.
