Customer Reviews VIONIC Dr. Weil with Orthaheel® Technology Rhythm Walker

Love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and the pain went away immediately! I wear them every day and walk 3-5 miles per day. I am also on my feet for 8 hours 5 days a week as a surgical nurse.

I have been wearing orthotics for 12 years until I started wearing these Orthaheel sneakers and my feet with heel and bone spurs feel GREAT! I normally wear a 5 1/2 wide, the 6 fits perfectly

I am so pleased that I have finally found a walking shoe that has the support I need. I have less pain in my feet, knees, and back since wearing the rhythm walkers. Not to mention that they don't look like an orthotic shoe. Thank you!

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable. I now have two pairs--white ones and black ones! Also enjoy Zappos great service. I highly recommend both the shoes and Zappos!

These shoes are great. The arch support is amazing; and they are very lightweight. There is no slipping on the heal, ample width and overall very comfortable. I like the color...not so tennis shoe looking in the dark brown.

I would recommend this shoe to anyone who has flat feet. I have tried a lot of insoles and inserts, but none of these would really do the job. I still had pain in my knee from an unsupported arch. This shoe is great. I now can go back to walking every day.

I'm very disappointed in a shoe Dr Weil has his name on. I'm losing weight and have been building up walking stamina. These gave me terrible blisters on the balls of my feet. There is no forward foot support and no arch support, despite the very good pronation support. So these are rather expensive weekend errand shoes. I wonder if Dr Weil ever wore them on hilly walks for extended lengths if time. Also, some stitching has come out. They only get worn once or twice a week and not for gardening or other rough stuff.

These shoes exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly comfortable with built in orthotics. I am on my feet for 10 hours at a time and my back, legs and feet never hurt when I am wearing these shoes. They are slightly heavier than your average sneaker due to the built in support. This has not been a problem for me.

These shoes are great. They do run about a 1/2 size small so order up. I am very happy with this purchase. Received lots of compliments on the shoes so they are good for walking as well as being good to look at.

This is the only shoe I have found that I can wear all day without pain. It has done more for me than the podiatrist did.

I have diabetes. My feet are very sensitive. I am in love with this brand. I have these shoes, flip flops and slippers all Orthaheel Technology. I don't want to wear any other shoe. I wish they made these for men in a size 15. My husband would buy them in a heart beat. They are worth every dollar.

I love these shoes! They are light but offer great heel and foot support. Excellent quality. I am glad I order a half size larger based on the reviews. They fit perfectly.

Well, these saved the day for me! Something weird was going on with my metatarsal on my right foot. It got all swollen and I could not get shoes on. When it calmed down enough, I got these wonderful Vionic walkers and they just cradled my feet and I could walk painfree and even work out. Based on other reviews, I ordered a 9. In the Vionic slippers, I take an 8

I've worn these each day for a few hours for the past three days. Today was the first day in months I haven't had plantar fasciitis heel pain. I forgot what it was like to walk without pain.

The best athletic shoes I have found for plantar fasciitis. When I have used other brands of athletic shoes recommended for plantar fasciitis, I had to use heel cups to minimize heel pain. No heel cups necessary in these shoes! Another positive is that these shoes are are light compared to earlier brands of shoes that used Orthaheel technology. I have a narrow heel and these shoes can be laced so that they do not slip.

I have back and hip problems and these are the only walking shoes that I can wear. I have tried all the name brands. I bought and returned 40 pairs of shoes before I found Orthaheel. They work for me!

I am very happy with this shoe. It is so comfortable. It does say in the information section to order a half size larger than you normally wear, which I did. The only thing I'm a little unhappy about is that the charcoal gray color changes to a sort of purple in the sunlight. The comfort level is still enough to overlook the change in color.

Really like these. I typically wear regular athletic shoes with my orthotics. But these are CUTE, lightweight and my feet and back don't hurt in them. They fit true to size and look great. Not orthotic at all! I have 3 other pair of Orthaheel sandals and 4 pair of Orthaheel flip flops and love, love, love them!

I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for some time and have loved the support that Vionic/Orthaheel shoes offer. I needed sportier walking shoes for the occasional 10K/theme park visit/around-the-block exercise, and these did not disappoint. I consider them pricey but well worth it for the comfort. I did heed the caution of others to order half a size up, and I am glad that I did.

Loved these shoes! Bought a half size bigger based on reading reviews. Did not have to break them in. Wore them for a whole day at Disneyland on my first outing. They will be great for my summer trip to Europe. Definitely worth every penny.

Excellent shoe for me. I will be ordering more. They are very light, comfortable (almost don't know you have shoes on), with very good arch support (I have very high arches and has always caused me problems). I can't say that the mess like material is that attractive but this is a walker so not really a big deal.

I had a hard time finding these shoes in a few different stores. Zappos had them and they were at my door a few days later. I am happy with the shoe as a have many foot problems and work on my feet. Well worth the money for Orthaheel.

Loved the look, and very comfortable. Lighter than the walker that I have been wearing (which is also the Orthaheel walker), and much classier looking. Think I will get a second pair. I seem to have more pep in my step wearing these delightful RED rhythm walkers! Did follow the input from other reviews and ordered a half size larger. The fit was perfect.

I was disappointed the first time I wore these shoes. There was not a lot of cushioning and the shoe felt rigid and stiff. My feet hurt by the end of the day. I tried them again and found them to be much better! More comfy and my feet felt great all day!

These shoes really rock! Needed a sturdy lightweight pair of walking shoes for a recent Latin America tour. And, after two weeks of walking around hilly Quito, Ecuador and many small towns, I can happily report that these Dr. Weil VIONICs stood up to long days being on my feet...literally. I had very little break in time, too, and was pleased to be blister free my entire trip. Lots of arch support, a very comfy toe bed, and they're attractive with jeans. I'm normally a size 6 but ordered a half size up as recommended. They fit perfectly with a sock. What are you waiting for...go order a pair now!
