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

I am thrilled with these shoes. I have returned or thrown away dozens of pairs of shoes for years. Orthotics made especially by my foot doctor and all, I always hurt. Never felt I could be on my feet for more then 30 minutes without pain. These Dr Wells Orthaheel walker is the absolute BEST shoe I have worn in 12 years since the Plantar Fasciitis began. Fallen arch, arthritis and everything else, still I could never find comfort. I wore these at home for a few days and then wore them out shopping, NO PAIN. Hours on my feet and absolute comfort. I immediately bought the last pair in my size in the color I wanted. Looked at other sites but they were sold out or didn't carry them. If you have foot problems, buy these and feel what it's like to walk without pain again.

I have previously worn Orthaheel shoes, so the break-in period for my legs was not as long as my first pair (that was about 3 weeks, this pair about 2 days). Overall, a comfortable shoe. The red color is happy. My main complaint is the Orthaheel shoes are not as stylish as they could be. This one is about as stylish as they come! In terms of walking, I believe my knee is swinging more appropriately as a result of wearing these shoes. This has the effect of straightening out my back when I walk. As with the Orthaheel slipper I had, the footbed is kind of hot and gets a little stinky. This is not the case with my Adidas sport shoes.

I ordered this shoe for walking/jogging on a treadmill. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past and have a collapsed arch on one of my feet. Since using these shoes I have not needed to use orthotics or to wrap the foot with the fallen arch in order to use the treadmill comfortably. In fact there have been times that I had discomfort in my foot prior to getting on the treadmill that disappeared as walked. These shoes work great for me as I have exactly the type of foot issues they are designed to relieve, but they probably won't work for all conditions. I ordered one half size larger than usual and they fit well.

I bought these after buying and returning approx 6 different pairs of other brands - nothing felt 'right' until these.

I had read that these shoes ran a little small, so I went with a half size larger than my usual size. They fit perfectly! A few people thought it also ran narrow, but I did not find that at all. In packaging, they lace them up pretty tightly, so you will have to loosen the laces just a bit. My toes felt comfortable and not at all squeezed. The arch support was there in a comfortable way. I liked the fact that these shoes were not clunky & big and the style was just what I like, attractive in a basic, non-flashy way. Very happy to have been able to find a shoe like this. :)

Love this shoe. I have a wide foot, and normally wear 9 to 9-1/2, but in tennis shoe I go up 1/2 size. This worked great in this case. So pleased the medium width was wide enough for me; I usually need a wide. Love the arch support and light weight, too! Color is pretty. Excellent return service for pair that didn't fit!

Love these! These felt so much better than any other shoe I tried. They are lightweight and very comfortable. I really liked the color when I got it, even though I was leery at first of the plum color. I wish they would make more of this type of shoe in dark grey. I would definitely buy them.

They do the job they need to. They have a solid arch support and a solid inside wall. The shoe was comfortable out of the box. It doesn't look clunky like I feared it would.

I loved these shoes from first sight! My feet, knees, hips and back love all Orthaheel insoles. However Dr. Weil runs narrow and that is why I love this brand. My feet are flat and skinny. 12 hours on my feet in these shoes will be a blessing. I have worked the last three years in comfort because of Dr. Wiel/Orthaheel shoes. I do wish however that they made all leather uppers. These feature man made soles.

I love these sneakers! I love Orthaheel products since I do have heel spurs. These give me the support I need, yet are a lightweight sneaker and they don't feel stiff and heavy like other sneakers with arch support. The only negative comment is that I ordered the dark grey and they look more navy which is fine since they match with jeans but just so you are aware if you are expecting dark grey/black, these are not.

Once I put these shoes on, I just didn't take them off. I ordered a half size larger, probably by accident, and they are really comfy. I will buy another pair of these in the future. Whatever the special Orthaheel is, it is comfortable.

I have flat feet and really need arch support. I bought some Orthaheel sandals this summer and loved them. I ended up buying the Rhythm Walker in a half size larger than my normal shoe size. They are new but already comfortable. And Zappos is the place to buy them!

LOVE these shoes! I had Plantar Faciitis when I purchased my first pair. They helped my foot heal, so I purchased another pair in dark grey and wore them all summer long. Whenever I know I'll be on my feet a lot, or doing a lot of walking, these are the shoes I wear. I really like the looks of them too! Not that "orthopedic shoe" look, but sporty and comfy! Will buy one in every color.

Love these shoes! This is my second pair of Dr. Weil's Orthaheel Rhythm Walkers - wore out the first pair by wearing them constantly. I wear them to the gym, shopping and on vacation - wherever walking will occur. They have helped to stabilize my right foot that tends to pronate, and it feels as though this straightening has taken some of the stress from my arthritic knees and hips. I will most likely buy more pairs. Oh & I get compliments on their good looks, too. Especially the red ones.

This shoe was comfortable from my first wearing. I bought this shoe to take on a holiday to Breckinridge. The first day there I wore it all day with comfort. My feet are flat, have bunions and blisters are part of my life with new shoes. No blisters... This is the most comfortable shoe, I believe, that I have ever owned. I normally wear a 9 but I purchased a 9.5. My foot is narrow and this shoe fit perfectly.

A really neat pair of shoes. They arrived on time, fit properly, and look great. No break-in period was necessary. I haven't worn them extensively, but they seem to hold up well.

I love this shoe. I was looking for a comfortable, as well as, supportive shoe to take to Europe in September. This is the perfect shoe.

These walkers ROCK! I'm a nurse who is on the go for 12 hour shifts, and these walkers keep my heel pain from plantar fasciitis at bay. These are comfortable right out of the box! The mesh is breathable and keeps your feet ventilated. My feet never ache or hurt after wearing these all day.

Great shoes and exactly what I expected! After reading the reviews and seller's comments I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and they are a perfect fit!. I have yet to test them outside but I can already feel that my sore knees feel better when I walk on hard surfaces. The arch support is exactly what I needed. Now I cannot wait for my Dr. Orthaheel sandals to arrive tomorrow!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes! I need a wider shoe because of some lovely bunions - along with a recent addition of plantar factitious - these give me great support - and protect my heel - while being soft and light weight easy on / and cushioning my bunions!

I had foot/ankle surgery and needed a good shoe with great arch support. Many out there with arch support are not the best looking, not fashion friendly. This is a perfect shoe that looks great and does the job.

After reading, after I placed my order, so many reviews stating that this shoe runs a half size small, I was nervous that it would not fit. Wrong! The fit is perfect! It is a very cute shoe that acts like an orthopedic shoe, but looks like a cute sneaker. Love them. They lived up to the standard of every Orthaheel I have purchased. This just might be my favorite!

So this is they way I'm supposed to walk! I never knew but it feels so much better. Could use more width in the toe box though but I'll try to stretch them. Orthaheel, if you're reading, adding Ws to your size options would make some of us insanely happy!

I love these shoes, they are really comfortable & it feels like you're not even wearing shoes They are awesome!

Just recently joined a Health Club and bought these to wear in aerobic classes and walking the track. Read the reviews, which were helpful in making the choice of which to order much easier. The fit is perfect, and so comfortable. Also, Zappos service is great. Will not hesitate to order in the future.
