Customer Reviews VIONIC Walker

I have feet that just hurt on the bottoms no good reason why, thought I would try vionic as have heard good things about them. I have wide feet with bunions so I ordered the 6 wide which turned out to be why to big and wide so I reordered the 6 medium which felt really good and have a good arch support for high arches which I have. My feet didn’t hurt immediately so that is a good sign for me but after my first short walk I got blisters on the top of my feet right over the big toe, worst on the right foot, I have just returned from my second walk with band aids, the left feels ok. On the right while I don’t have a blister it feels bruised along the entire toe line. I’m hopping these will soften or that I can get them softened at a shoe repair.

Tried Vionic in a store and realized the brand offers good arch support, so I ordered these shoes in an 8 wide. There is plenty of room in the toe box, and the insole can be easily replaced with an orthotic. I plan to bring both Vionic’s insoles and my custom ones when walking a lot as it will feel like I’ve changed my shoes. I like the soft leather as a change from sneakers. The style is “clunky” but that is unavoidable in a good walking or running shoe. Good value.

I chose Vionic Thrill over Walker because Walker is heavier. I did like the ability to remove the liners in Walker so I could replace it with my orthotics. However, my orthotics fit fine in Thrill. And I liked the all pink Thrill.

I was looking for a solid, stable shoe that did not tip to the side. This is not that kind of shoe. Very mushy to walk in.

I usually wear a 9 in New Balance but I ordered the 8.5 Wide in the leather and the fit great and are very comfortable. Support was good so I didn’t need to switch to other orthotics like I do for other shoes. Have only had them a few days but am happy so far.

I like this shoe. I have painful plantar fasciitis, and this summer it has flared up into something terribly painful--the tight tendon is even pulling on my middle toes and so I have pain in my heel bone spurs PLUS this extremely painful front of the foot. Plus, the shoes I used to buy have been discontinued (Skechers Tone Ups) and I need new ones. I have tried on several dozen shoes at this point, and none of them have been comfortable enough. So I wasn't hopeful when I got to these. But the reviews were good, so I tried them. It is a well-made shoe. The padding inside is excellent, and the heel cup cradles my heel and keeps it stable. There is good arch support. It is not as good for me as the Skecher rounded bottom, but it is one of the best of *flat* shoes I have tried. I still found it wasn't really soft and comfortable, but it was better than most, so I kept them. I have worn them several weeks now, and I think they are actually helping my feet heal. They are not totally comfy when I put them on because they push on some of the sore places on my foot. But as I wear them, I feel a kind of pressure on the pulled tendon and working of the muscles. I think the shoes are correcting the way I stand and how I walk to make my feet less uncomfortable. I know I feel better when I take them off than when I put them on, and walk my dog a couple of miles in them each day. So I would suggest these for painful plantar fasciitis. They are not cloud soft, but I think they are ultimately an excellent choice to improve the condition.

They are what I need and fit EXCEPT Sad for me but the toe box is just a bit too small even with my thinnest Sockwells. I tried for a day but just won’t work. I’m HOPING Zappos will let me return them .

I got them for my mom, she needed a good walking shoe for over pronation and this rated well for that. She did fine walking with her walker but when she only had her cane she said they felt to heavy and was worried she would trip. Thanks Zappos for the awesome return system.

So, this shoe isn't going to win anyone any compliments. This shoe is kinda boxy and looks old lady-ish. It is, however, excellent for my plantar fascitis. I wear them when I walk my dog, and my feet feel excellent. Excellent support, and my inserts fit perfectly. If you happen to have plantar fascitis AND bunions AND hammer toes, you might want to stock up on bandaids until you break them in a bit.

I was looking forward to trying this sneaker to help my plantar fasciitis but it was not wide enough to fit comfortably. The seam over the bunion area also rubbed my bunion, so I will have to try another style. Thanks Zappos for your outstanding customer service!

I really expected to love this shoe. I love the cushion and arch support of Vionic. These, however, had seams that hit my bunion. The rubbing would be unbearable. Back to the drawing board.

My first try at Vionic... the length was a bit long but hard to tell where big toe ended, hard cap. A little loose for my foot so returning. Did like the suppport and pitch.

These feel great - nice arch support and helped my plantar fasciitis/heel pain immensely! However, I feel like the shoe had no breathing room. The toe box is roomy enough, but the shoe overall is a snug fit, and my feel felt quite hot after an hour of indoor walking. Wish it had a mesh type top at least... Sticking with Vionic, but trying another to see if my feet don't feel so hot in those!

Shoes are a bit clunky and stiff, but they could break in. They were cut too high for my foot therefor painful along the instep
