As a huge Vionic fan for many years, I bought the Baldwin as a gift for both my husband and father. (As a woman I have not tried this men's shoe, but I will provide you with feedback from my husband and father.) They separately gave me the exact same opinion without knowing each other's thoughts. They both LOVED the style and support, but each told me that this particular shoe was too narrow despite trying them with lightweight "no-show" socks. We later saw the Baldwin at a shoe store along with other Vioinic shoes, and the salesperson working at the store also stated that the Baldwin is known to run on the narrow side. So it seems to be fashionable, supportive, but narrow. This was odd for me to hear since most of my Vionic shoes are wide and their leather and/or suede shoes seem to stretch with wear..... often too much.

The fit and size are pretty good and exactly what I expected. Unfortunately I've worn them a couple times now and pieces of the finish are wearing off where the shoelaces rub against the shoe. I would expect this to happen over time a little bit, and for that natural wear to actually look decent, but this is bits of the finish crumbling and flaking off of the shoe almost immediately.

I bought these sneakers for my husband since I have the similar version for women (also by Vionic) which I love, and he always compliments mine. He thought this was an attractive sneaker with great arch support, however they are much too narrow for him. (My husband has a wide wider foot in general.) I actually got the same pair for my father who has a medium width foot, and he also said they are too narrow. My husband returned his pair, but my father plans to give them a shot hoping the width will give. They both felt the length was fine.

Fits true to size. I love the color (charcoal) and style. They are my new favorite dress sneakers. The nubuck makes it an all season shoe.

This show was HUGE! I put it next to the other Vionics I have it it was at least an inch or more larger. Great support and very nice white upper.

Indeed, these run narrow (think Converse) and long. I wear a Women's 12 M (Men's 10 M), but after reading reviews, I sized down to a Men's 9.5 M, and they fit perfectly. Excellent arch support, incredible comfort, but somewhat lacking in style. I purchased them in white, which looks a bit plain and orthotic, but I figure I can avoid the 'grandpa' look with no-show socks and lace anchors. Overall, I highly recommend for the comfort.

Great looking shoe that is comfortable. However, after a month, my feet experienced substantial pain in my arches. I purchased Dr. Scholls which lessened the pain.

I like the way these shoes look and the foot bed was super comfy. The toe box is very narrow. I should have listened to the earlier review that said that but I am a female so I thought being a men's shoe it would probably work for me. Unfortunately, that wasn't accurate!

I have worn a variety of Vionic shoes for years because of their great Orthaheel technology. In the past, every pair has been instantly and perfectly comfortable. But these Baldwin shoes are terribly uncomfortable so I will be returning them.

Third pair of the exact same shoe because it’s comfortable and perfectly benign. Definitely a go-to.

Bought these for my husband since I am a vionics women shoe fan. My 27 year old son and 29 year old daughter gave a big thumbs up to the styling! However, my husband who is very thin and does not have a wide foot at all said they were too narrow on him. I read all the reviews that the shoe ran narrow, but since my husband has a reasonably narrow foot, I was sure they would still fit him. Really bummed I had to return as they were really sharp!! Vionic please add a wider width or manufacture this shoe in a "normal" medium width...

Bought these for my boyfriend. He had very similar shoes by aldo but they hurt his feet so I got these to replace them. He reports that they are wider, more comfortable, great arch support.

I love FLY London but these shoes hurt my feet as I have a bunion and have feet that are tough to fit these days.

Nice looking shoe with great arch support. Runs a little narrow, but not as narrow as other brands of the same style

They are a bit different than what i had before. These are shinier than I thought (no big deal!) They look great!

Nice looking shoe. I wear 10.5. These were noticeably longer and felt more narrow that other dress/dress casual shoes I own in a 10.5. Probably as a result of the fit, the arch support was misplaced. For what it's worth, the arch support, were it properly fitted, felt as though it would be far better than any other in my closet.

Great shoe but they run a little big. There is great arch support but tend to lift on the heal.

I own a similar pair but in canvas. They are a 7, purchased 5-6 years ago. The size 7 in this style was so small, I needed a size 8. Having owned may over the years, Vionic has always had inconsistent sizes.

Love this shoe except for the fact that it arrived and the soles were yellowing from the leather dye.

I use orthotics and have been looking for a casual leather sneaker I can wear with my orthotics. The Vionic Baldwin already comes with an insert that offers excellent arch support. I could not wear these with my orthotic because there is not enough volume. I probably can get away with a smaller size and just use the Vionic insert. But I found the Cole Haan Grandpro Spectator Lace Ox, which work great with my orthotics.

I was worried about the narrow fit others commented on, but they fit OK for me. (I have a bunion on one foot and use orthotics.) A bit tight pulling them on. I feel a crease at the top of the big toe when stepping, but it seems to be lessening.

Way too narrow for my 7 wide foot. The laces/eyelets have a chunky, “Doc Marten”ish look.

I should have listened to the other reviewers. This shoe is way too long and way too narrow. Sadly they are going back.

I ordered this in what I thought was a women's size but was actually men's . I searched for women Vionic Baldwin and this showed up.
So besides going back because mens.....I thought the white were very plain. No logo or anything. Looked cheap even thought I know they are not.
