I've been wanting to try these for a while but a big disappointment. I am a 9.5 but have to use a 3/4" Spenco due to extra cushioning needed after many foot surgeries. Because of this I always order a half size larger which is a 10 medium. I need a roomy toe box as well. Not only do these feel hard inside (no cushion at all), they run very small in the forefoot. I ordered a Saucony in size 10 along with the Vionic thinking one of them would work. They Saucony is small in the forefoot also, but the Vionic is even smaller. Especially at the big toe area. So disappointed....both being returned.

I love the arch support in Vionic shoes and wear several styles of Vionic sandals. I need a wide toe box and ordered a wide size; however, the shoe was not nearly wide enough. Otherwise, I think it would have been a wonderful shoe for me.

It was too tight around the ankle. It hurt my ankle and was sore after 1st wear. I do not recommend them. And I could not return them so it was a waste of money.

When I took them out of the box, they were so ugly that I was sure they would be comfortable. However, they were far too big. I have always worn a 7 1/2, 38 in Euro size (Danskos) but now I'm 60 and my feet seem larger. I ordered a pair of Brooks in 8, they fit fine. I have overpronation issues.
So I probably need a 7 1/2 in the Vionics, but am holding back on reordering them because they are so ugly - hope to find something more attractive that works. I'm pretty sure that the arch support in the Vionics would be good for me so...we'll see if vanity wins or loses.
I'd also recommend:
Dansko, Brooks

I returned this shoe because of the deep grooves in the bottom that catch on anything like carpet stairs etc.

I have many feet issues mostly bunions and overpronation. I liked these at first and the support felt good but after wearing them for maybe a few weeks they just weren't comfortable. Felt like maybe too much support or maybe in the wrong places for me. Too boxy and didn't feel right. I keep trying again but they just don't work.

I have plantar fasciitis, and this model came up as recommended. They feel and look bulky, but they were comfortable. They look too much like a medical shoe. I returned them.

Loved the color style and arch support. But they were way too short. Had to send them back.

The fit and sizing were both fine. I have Vionic slippers and flip flops that I love, so was hoping these would provide me with the same support. Unfortunately, the arch is TOO high for me (which is a shocker). However, even when I switched the insole to one from another pair of sneakers (that was "flatter") something about these shoes threw my back out of line. I kept trying, but each time had the same result. I am now past being able to return them (sadly).

I thought the Vionic Walker was true to size and does have excellent support but it felt too ridgid and stiff so I returned them.

This particular sneaker is sized different than the other Vionics I have tried on and purchased. I tried the 8 and it was way too long and big in heel. Ordered the 7.5 and it is a full size too small. My shoe size runs from 7.5 to 8 depending on brand. This style is not a true 8 or a true 7.5.

I purchased these about 2 weeks ago. They arrive right on time. I wanted to love them but they hurt my feet. they are too wide (and I take a wide) the arch support isnt supportive. I put in my own arch supports for what I need. I suffer from plantar fascistic I heard from friends that these shoes are THE BEST for this condition. Not so for me .....or at least not yet. I havent given up on them but I cannot wear them all day long yet.

Going to return this pair because the size is not true...a whole size too small and even though I ordered wide it was a bit too tight. Except for the sizing it's a very good quality shoe...well made. Going to get the next size up after returning this pair.

I read the reviews and should have believed about the size. These do run very small. I ordered an 8 and I don't know if an 8 1/2 or 9 would have been better. The shoes look very well made and I like the rounded toe. I returned them

I tried this shoe in 2 sizes (10 + 10.5) but neither gave me the comfort and support I've had from other Vionic shoes. The 10 had a seam that rubbed against the top of my left foot and felt too short on both feet. The 10.5 seemed the right size but made my knees ache. I really want a good sneaker with sufficient padding for daily walks as well as errands and was disappointed that this one wouldn't work. Now I'm uncertain what to look for in a different style. I've been wearing Vionics for more then 5 years and do find inconsistency in fit and comfort from one style to the next. Sandals seem the best option and size 10 always works however some of the sandals have more comfortable padding even when they appear to have the same construction. It's discouraging...

I did not feel this shoe was worth the money. It felt clunky, large. There were two "smudges" on the outer edges of one shoe. Shoe arrived as promised,return was fast and easy.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance

The arches didn't fit in the right place and didn't have enough support. My feet hurt after wearing about 30 minutes.

Wore them around the house and found them heavy and "chunky" but thought they would still be good for walking because they have excellent support of arch & ankle and were fairly comfortable. I decided to wear them to a music festival with a lot of walking/standing and really regretted it. They were so stiff and heavy that they messed with my stride and caused a lot of joint pain after much walking. Also my feet hurt so bad by the end of the day. This was very unexpected since I have been so impressed with other Vionics shoes. Sad to say I would not recommend these shoes.

I bought the 9w too big so returned for an 8 1/2 w but that was just overall uncomfortable. Hurt in certain places. I must say customer service is excellent no problem with either return.

I love the arch support provided my my Vionic flip-flops which I wear every day all day when I'm at home and walking or standing on hard floors. I was eager to try the Vionic sneaker and ordered the Walker Classic a half size larger than my usual size 8 in order to accommodate the big toe which has been known to give me trouble occasionally when the nail gets a little too long. That said these size 8 1/2 sneakers (all of my other shoes and sneakers are size 8 regular width) hurt about 1/8 mile into my walk. I finished the 2-mile walk took them off and never put them on again. That's a lot of money for one walk! I don't feel I can return them because I wore them once and threw away the packaging. I guess I will be gving them away to a worthy charity.

These shoes don't fit my feet as well as the other Vionic shoes I have. I purchased these for exercise - walking specifically. After 2+ weeks of breaking them in I have HUGE blisters on my pinky toes. The width is good but the toes and heel feel sloppy. The heel to toe motion is not smooth (the word 'clodhopper' comes to mind). As far as plantar fasciitis goes they perform perfectly as always - no pain whatsoever. My feet also felt overheated quickly. I'm going to return this pair and look for a comparable mesh design instead. The leather design just isn't for me.

These are good looking but do not come in narrow which I need. So they are a little floppy with my foot shifting inside.

When I initially tried the shoes on I didn't feel like the arch was in the correct location. I was not able to tie the shoe tight enough for comfort.

I was attracted to this classic looking leather walking shoe. I really need a good all around shoe I can walk in. I read all the reviews on how many people loved the shoe. Since Zappos is known for its customer service and return policy, I ordered the shoe, which arrived within a few days. So I tried on the shoe and it is stiff and unforgiving. My feet feel as if they are in a cement block. The sides of the shoe rub against my ankles. Sadly, this pair will be going back.
