Customer Reviews VIONIC Walker

I recently developed plantar fasciitis, so I was looking for the arch support. After doing some research, I read that these were good for that condition. When I got them, I thought the arch was high but that I needed to "get used to it." It's way too high for me and very uncomfortable. My feet are more sore. These are for very high arches. I would like to return them.

The Good: The arch support is superb. I immediately felt great support for good posture. The Bad: There is not enough cushioning under the ball of the foot. The design of the toe of the shoe is terrible. It looks stodgy, orthodpedic and dated. It works if you want to appeal to a limited number of people. However, most people want even their athletic shoes to be stylish. The toe of this shoe is not. The rest of the shoe is fine.

The chief problem with this shoe is that when the front got a touch wet in the rain it stained the front making the shoe look terribly dirty.

Arch support was located under my heel rather than the arch of my foot. Maybe a bad set of insoles? This is a stiff and uncomfortable pair of shoes, and the style is even more unattractive in person. I would not recommend for walking as I could not walk five feet in them.

I have a dozen pairs of Vionic shoes all size 8 but these were too short and too wide. Returned disappointed. cute shoes.

I really thought that I could handle blah looks if they felt great on my feet. These were rigid, no flex, and I just can’t like them-and they don’t feel good on like my other Vionics over the years. Live and learn.

While sizing was fine these athletic shoes lack any cushion or shock absorption. I wore them 2x before returning to my ASICS. I would not purchase this brand again.

I ordered a 7 Wide and I was sent a 6 medium. At least they got the color right, but when I went to exchange, they said that they did not have the 7 W despite that it was in stock when I placed the order, so who got my shoes? I had to order a 7W in black and they arrived. They fit OK, but the shoe is really hard, not cushy at all. It looks like synthetic material and is too shiny, but the worst part is they squeak and squeal very loudly like a stuck pig when I walk, so definitely returning them!

I really wanted to like these shoes. The size was right. But the stitching INSIDE the shoe, over my toes and top of foot, was painful! At first I thought it was just the socks I was wearing. Tried a couple of other pairs. Same.

unfortunately as wear went on the sneaker stretched and one foot/sneaker became wider than the other

Overall, I was disappointed with the 'style'. I am 71 years old and still work and thought these would be good for standing a lot, but unfortunately the style of the shoe was really 'clunky' looking, very old fashioned. I did not find them that comfortable when I was trying them on at home. Stiff leather, and just not great looking at all. Sorry, but am returning them. Should have listened to the other reviews.

Vionic has always been so good for me, but I've been sending them back for a few years now, and continue to be disappointed with how the arch support has gone from stellar to mediocre. Also, I have never had a problem with size, and this shoe mostly got sent back because of too short in the toe box. My middle toe is longer than my big toe, and it was pressing against the toe box. I am an 11, so nowhere to go up from there, plus, the half size bigger would just make the whole shoe too big, just to buy some small space in the toe. Disappointed. I really need a strong, sturdy, good arch walking shoe and vionic was always it.

Fits true to size. However, I find this shoe extremely uncomfortable. They are not plush or cushy feeling but feel very hard like when you have worn a pair of sneakers down after tons of wear and the padding is gone. The ball of the shoe is especially hard and unpadded. These are far more uncomfortable than any other vionics I have tried.

These were very huge around my ankle.. The whole shoe is wide..i didn't like the look, too clunky and did not fit me right. Went back

I have a few pair of Vionic flats and sandals and love them. The athletic shoes arch support is in the wrong spot for my feet and is very uncomfortable.

There needs to be cushion on the bottom where foot is placed. I can feel every part of the pavement and it is uncomfortable.

Too narrow and a bit short

It was hard to tell how the size was because they were so stiff and uncomfortable!
