The arch support in this shoe was not high enough for my feet. I have other Vionic shoes (flip flops ballet flats) and they are great but these are made differently. The shoe itself was also very stiff. Returned the shoe for a refund.

When I placed my order I had forgotten that I had bought these sneakers once before. I have worn the sneakers for 2 weeks and i will never buy them again. Are they really leather? These sneakers make my feet stink and when I take them off I can smell them 4 feet away. So like the first pair I am throwing them out. I'm going back to New Balance. My feet and sneakers do not stink when I wear New Balance.

Zero stars on comfort if possible!
I got the white with pink. Very cute. Plenty of room in the toe box.
But, the most uncomfortable shoe I have EVER had on my feet.
Inside the shoe box, VIONIC "suggests wearing a few hours at a time the first few days to allow your body to adapt..."
Well, my feet and back could not take over 15 minutes at a time. I tried several different pairs of socks, and the liner still felt like sandpaper on my toes.
VIONIC does have a 30 day wear-testing guarantee, for full refund. That's the nicest thing I can say about this shoe.

They were ok, however the tongue of the sneaker may have been stitched wrong and rubbed on my foot. Returned them.

I really don't like to write unfavorable reviews, however these shoes are just plain ugly. I got the white with the blue accent color. The color is fine, but the overall appearance of the shoe itself looks like a rectangle. Boxy. Like a very old person should be wearing. Like over 100. Sorry. Not for me. Back they go.

Reviewed at Vionic Shoes
I don't know why the Vionic Walker shoes have such high ratings! They were recommended to me by a friend who thinks I suffer with plantar fasciitis. I have always worn leather running shoes and wanted a leather walking shoe. These shoes are so rigid and uncomfortable! They were wide in the heel 1/2 size too long yet there was something in the upper toe area that dug into my feet the entire 40 minutes I tried walking with them. These shoes actually narrow in the toe area making it incredibly uncomfortable to walk in especially going down hill. Also I'm pretty sure these are the shoes I've seen grandmas wearing at nursing homes. Ladies there are better options out there! Don't settle for these shoes.
Not A,

I bought these shoes for plantar fasciitis which they didn't help at all. The shoes run a size and a half too short, but they run like an extra wide shoe. The material is very stiff and uncomfortable. I would not recommend them to anyone. I wish I could give them 0 stars, but thats not an option.

My first pair of walkers were wonderful and my toe did not hurt. I work 8 hrs per day on my feet. The Walker kept me out of pain however since I started wearing the second pair my toe hurts. I feel this pair is defective.

I was greatly impressed by the shipping I got these shoes the next day and could hardly believe it! However I am terribly disappointed in the product. Can't help feeling many of these reviews are very misleading. I wear a 10 and a half and ordered 11. There's no way this is a true 11 I could hardly get my foot into it, it's extremely narrow and hardly any cushioning at all, very stiff. Since I am slowly recovering from plantar fasciitis it's out of the question. The arch may have been alright but I need much more than just a high arch. I will see if I can't exchange this for something that offers cushion plus arch support.
One thing that will always get 5 stars with me is the ability to return or exchange at no charge ... Zappos you're the best!
Vionics ... strike one

This was the hardest shoe I have ever put on my feet. I have plantar fasciitis and I bought this sneaker for comfort and it hurt worse than my actual problem. I tried to wear them a few times to break them in but they were still very uncomfortable. I returned these and got a full refund. I love Zappos.

I Love Vionic shoes and have looked at this pair for a long time. Finally decided to buy it and can't believe how disappointing it is. The fit is dreadful, it looks like I'm putting on huge blocks of white on my feet. The tongue comes up way too high and the shoe is extremely stiff. The arch is the only thing that saves it, but that's not enough. I'm returning.

I wanted to like these because I have plantar fasciitis, but they are so unattractive that I am sending them back right away. The picture is deceiving. In person, these shoes are very bulky and big. The tongue had to push out of the top in order to get the shoe on. And I am an 8M, so my foot isn't overly large. Not a lot of cushioning either. Back to start of my search again. Thanks anyway Zappos for the super fast shipping.

I bought the wide width but it was way too narrow. The only Vionic I've ever been able to wear are their sandals.

Love Vionic shoes - they've practically eliminated my plantar fasciitis foot pain, but the arch support in these walkers seems to be in the wrong place for my foot ... so sad ... sending them back.

I bought this shoe before going on a two week vacation and I cannot begin to express how much I loath this shoe. I know that I should have worn the shoes more before going on the trip but walking around the house they seemed okay. The arch support in this shoe is incredibly stuff and unforgiving. They are so stiff that there is no cushioning of impact in your walking/stride. Even after prolonged wearing, the arch support in this shoe remained so stiff that it actually hurt my feet and back to walk in them. At the end of a walking day, my feet hurt, they cramped up~my lower back was killing me and my knees hurt as well. I have never worn a walking or hiking shoe that left my feet, knees and back hurting so much.
I took the arch supports out and bent them back and forth for a half an hour to try to get rid of the rigidity of the insert. That helped a little but not enough. So, I decided to run over them with my Jeep and that helped more than just bending them back and forth but still not enough to make these shoes even remotely comfortable . If you are having arch support issues, buy a pair of Brooks Addiction Walkers. The entire time I was wearing these shoes, I was wishing I brought my old, tired Brooks shoes over these. I will NEVER buy this brand of shoe again. I am passed the Zappos exchange/return time period or I would exchange these shoes in for something that was less tortuous.

All these shoes lack are leg braces. Ugliest shoes I've ever owned. My feet ached, and these shoes made them feel wonderful. However, they are very hard to put on. You have to practically unlace all the laces to get your feet in. I would not recommend them because style IS important and the way you feel when you are wearing them. The pain may be gone, but self esteem is out the door. I had no idea they came in decent colors. Sounds crazy, but that's how I feel. I have very high arches and I steps. These shoes help--a lot! Not worth the ugliness, though.

Maybe this shoe is for you. It is not for me. It seems like a rather large box to encase your foot, thick on all sides and the bottom. The sole did not feel more cushioned than others that I am trying, but the upper felt like my entire foot was trapped, unable to move or breathe. The least stylish walker I tried, with the most restriction on movement and not the best insole or cushioned sole.
