Purchased this about two weeks ago in my usual shoe size. This was too short and not wide enough. Toes crammed into the shoe very uncomfortable..

Giving a review on shoes is always subjective as everyone's feet are unique. My feet are C width heel and D width forefoot and with that in mind I found these shoes a good fit for the heel but very constricted in the toe area. Removal of the insert showed that it was virtually the same as other 11D shoes I own, but the upper portion of the shoe was much narrower, essentially a C width. Further, the shoe was not lined resulting in the seams pressing against the top and sides of the foot which made them feel uncomfortable. These shoes have excellent arch support which helps with plantar fasciitis if one has narrow feet. Unfortunately, they did not work for me and were returned.

I bought these after reading a review of the best walking shoes for men with foot problems. I really liked them but after a few months of sporadic use the sole and upper separated on the right shoe. I wrote Vionic but haven't heard back. Very disappointed.

I Have an older version of this shoe which is about two years old in white. Fits perfectly at 10.5/W. My normal size is 10/W. This recent order looked and fit much smaller even though same size and width of the old one. My older ones are great and I was looking forward to these in a new color. Unfortunately I will be returning them. Zappos customer service was excellent as usual.

I wear an 11D shoe - though a great looking style the shoes were too narrow and too short. 11.5 were not available, so I moved on-

Purchased these shoes in a slightly bigger size than I usually order shoes in due to the reviews I read on this website about sizing. Shoes are slightly too tight. I didn't think it would be a huge deal so I went ahead and wore them - I got blisters on both feet from these shoes and cannot wear them now - just too painful. Not sure if I need to order two sizes up or what - not sure why they can't be sized like all other shoes. I am very disappointed in these shoes .

This shoe runs about a full size smaller. My husband always wears a 13 and these are way too short. Vionic shoes are great but they are not true to size. If they are going to run short they need to make bigger sizes than a 13 available. Very nice looking shoe. It’s a shame.

My husband tried these on but said they are not as comfortable as his other Vionic shoes so we will send them back.

Felt good at first but by the end of my work shift I experienced strong right heel pain that persists ten days later... They will remain for their lifetime in my closet...

I purchased this via their website after researching the product. Reviews suggested it ran small so I upped by 1/2 size. It came needing to be even larger. I returned it requesting a larger size. They responded that I would be refunded only since they could only exchange if ordered thru their website. Just an irritating and time wasting exercise with these people.

I have these same shoes in the gray color and they fit fine. I received these and they do not fit the same way. They are smaller and tighter. Had to return them.

I bought this shoes under recommendation from a coworker. She raved about the comfort. I guess I should of known better since she has an office job and I am on my feet walking on concrete for 8 hours. Which usually walking around 8 to 10 miles a day. I find my previous brand Kuru a better fit in comfort. I do have plantar fasciitis and this shoe does not help at.

Shoe is comfortable but don’t expect to receive any compliments on the looks. Just really ugly styling. Clunky looking.

Purchased about 2-1/2 months ago after lots of research online. Have worn them casually but not every day for walking and routine use. Very disappointed with quality or lack thereof. One eyelet for the shoestring has already torn loose and the leather has scuffed. Fairly comfortable shoe but not a good buy! Also discovered that the color of each shoe is slightly different.

I'm into my 4th or 5 th pair. They have all been great as I walk 3 miles almost every morning. This pair let me down. The right side fits perfect but the left is digging into my ankle on the top rear. I gave them a break to let my foot heal and my wife gave me lifts to try. Haven't done that yet but besides that they are a problem.

I have purchased 8 pairs of Vionic shoes and I cannot wear these. My feet are cramped and my foot hurts when I wear them. Seems like the shoe is not made correctly.....both shoes!

Today I am ordering my FOURTH pair of these shoes. Therein lies the problem. The good news is that they got me over plantar fasciitis....that's not good news, that's GREAT news. The not so great news is that they don't last long. When I begin to feel pain I swap out insole for $39 Vionic insole and get more milage out of them but overall it's 2-4 pairs/year depending on miles put on. It keeps my feet happy and that's HUGE but I really wish I could find THAT shoe that gives me both comfort and durability.

Gave such a low rating because they are already falling apart..only 8 months of low to medium usage. Last 2 pairs of men's vionic walking shoes lasted 1 1/2 years with 3-5 miles of walking per day! Come on Vionic y'all can and have turned out a better product than this for the price point!

Very undersized and not wide in with at all. Also orthotics were very minimal. I am disappointed with these since they were recommended for people with plantar fasciitis.

I was soooo excited to find out about the Vionic brand of footwear. I have every possible "fault" with my feet: they are huge (size 12.5 womens), wide, flat, with severe overpronation, bunions, hammertoe, and intermittent heel spurs and fascitis. To find a shoe that FITS is a thrill, one that allows for custom orthotics, a miracle, ample toebox room - almost unheard of, and finding something that addresses ALL those issues has never happened. Then I saw VIONIC! Saw a beautiful ankle boot and literally had tears come to my eyes, i was so excited. I was going to treat myself like never before, and order athletic shoes AND the ankle boots! Early Christmas for this girl! But THEN, I saw that women'sizes stop at size 11. My heart just sank. CMON shoe manufacturers! There are many, many women whose feet are size 12 and up! Don't you think we want to be fashionable?? Why are WE not allowed to have ankle boots and cute athletic shoes in the vibrant, pretty colors that people with smaller feet get to enjoy? WHY? Are we being punished? For what?? VIONIC - I guarantee that if you extend your women's sizes to 14, you will see a spike in revenue. Extend the sizes AND make them in cute "girly" colors? Revenue through the roof! As it is now, you have a disappointed, sad potential customer, who has to, yet again, order a man's athletic shoe, just to get the size needed. Newsflash: Girls with large feet want to feel pretty and dainty just like any other woman does! We cannot help genetics! Didn't ask for these feet! We are even willing to pay extra for the extra 2" of leather! I'm throwing this plea out there, on behalf of the tens of thousands of women with large feet... PLEASE, PLEASE won't you extend your sizes??

My husband wears a size 9 so I ordered this walker in a 9 1/2 based on reviews. He received them and they were too short. We then ordered a size 10. They felt the same as the 9 1/2 (too short). I then ordered a size 10 1/2 and they were too long plus too wide across the top of his foot. We are giving up at this point. We would not recommend.

So, I ordered these with a pair of sandals, both with Orthaheel technology...the sandals are fantastic...and are true to the size chart. I order both in size 13 according to the size chart. The sandals were a perfect fit; however, these sneakers ran a solid 3/4" small compared to my existing pair of New Balance a walkers. Very, very disappointing! I was so looking forward to the support they would provide as I suffer with plantar fasciitis. And mind you the sandals fulfilled the excellent arch support claim. Not sure how the same size could vary so much from same company?

Brand size runs very small...I normally wear size 11.5 medium width. That size was too small, tried the 12 wide. Width is still too tight. I am very disappointed with the comfort of this shoe as I was hoping it might help with my Plantar Fasciitis.

The shoes are, as another reviewer pointed out, a poor quality shoe wrapped around a reasonably good insert. They fell apart after four months of wear. I don't expect that from a shoe in this price range. And they're huge. I bought the regular size and they're way too long but I needed a shoe so I kept them rather than going through the gyrations of sending them back. i won't buy them again and certainly wouldn't recommend them. I suggest you buy a better shoe and purchase a good insole separately. They are definitely not worth the price.
