Customer Reviews VIONIC Kiara

Loved my new shoes :) the size is perfect and the style

I love these shoes. They fit prtfectly and have great arch support for my high instep.

I got a 10w. I generally am a 9.5-10w. it is maybe the tiniest bit long but good. The toe box is very roomy. Very comfortable. Very good arch support. My only complaint is if I'm standing for a long time on concrete it could use more cush. I have the slippers and I hoped these would give the same support with that cush. Not quite. These are very nice looking. They are more attractive and shapelier than the usual old person black tennis shoe.

Bought these for a restaurant job where I’ll be working as a server and am required to wear black, non-slip/slip-resistant sneakers. Did some research and wanted to find ones that fit that bill but also offered some good support, flexibility, style, and outfit & occasion versatility. These seemed to check all the boxes. I wasn’t pumped about spending $130 on sneakers, but I figured if they underwhelmed, I’d send them back and get something different. These just arrived today and, right out of the box, they fit my slightly wide feet perfectly (purchased 7.5 W) and look fantastic. It feels like good support and high quality all around. My partner instantly wanted to find a men’s version for himself, since his job requires the same and it’s about time for a replacement of his current pair. Context about my feet, fit & style, if it helps anyone: A year or so ago, I bought a pair of black Clarks oxfords (for a different, admin job) in, I think, a size 8?, definitely “normal” width, which I found to be uncomfortably narrow for all-day wear. Not so uncomfortable as to be unwearable, at least at first, but over time I did stop wearing them. As a replacement, I bought Dansko clogs, deciding it was time to prioritize comfortable fit and good support over (my then-preferred) style/look. Those Danskos are so comfy, I went through a phase where I’d wear them with everything, even though I could tell my partner found them... less than cool... lol. But that didn’t phase me much. Eventually, though, I wanted a solid alternative to the clog aesthetic, something more casual and style versatile. I dread shoe shopping, because I’m very picky and like to do my research and shop ethically if I can. The only sneakers I’ve really loved fit wise were a pair of Brooks from years ago, but their one black work shoe I could find was kinda ugly so... here I am. So far, these Vionics impress me and feel about as solid as those old Brooks used to. Happy with my purchase, will update if any issues arise once I start working or in general over time with use.

Great shoe!

Feel solid and great support.

I have a small (size 5) foot with a high arch and high instep. Very hard to find comfortable shoes. That is why I like Zappos... the variety is great. These sneakers fit me perfectly. Good arch support. Sometimes the arch is so high it forces my foot to supinate (walk on the outside of my foot). These did not do that. The laces open wide enough to allow for my high instep to fit inside the shoe. There is a tab in the back of the shoe to help slip the foot in. I recommend this shoe. Very comfortable.

The shoes were a bit bigger than my usual size with a large toe box which I like. They are very light weight and my orthotics fit well. I have no idea how the fabric will wear and if it will be breath - but I am hopeful they will be great for spring and summer.

These were very comfortable. But just a little too much shoe for me. Also, these had been worn. The bottoms were dirty, with mud stuck in one spot.

These are very nice shoes, but I'm learning that my feet like a really firm sole. These aren't as soft as many shoes I have tried, but still a little too soft for my needs. I was also unsure that the mint green sole would coordinate with my wardrobe.

I wear a women's 12 and the overall size was fine, but the top of the shoe/tongue come up way too high on the front of my ankle. I wasn't even able to walk around the house without taking the laces out down to the 2nd hole. I know work shoes aren't meant to be sexy, but these were uglier and bulkier than I expected they would be.

The good: ??The shoe looks good, non slip sole is good at work. The bad:?? The first day the top of my feet above the arches were killing me after 2 hours. I re laced to take pressure off that area but it didn’t really help. I stuck it out for 3 days thinking maybe I just needed to get used to this shoe, but eventually my feet and legs hurt too bad to continue. Not wanting to waste $130 I swapped the insole out for a different set of orthotic insoles and hey presto, 100% better. I have a high arch and issues with plantar fasciitis.

Fit and size no where near how my other running shoes fit

I wear several different running shoe brands all size 10 Some are a little wider than others but I can still wear them The 2 different vionic models I tried were HUGE. felt like they were made for Amazon feet. Exchanged one model for half size smaller but still expect them to way too wide

The fit was ok but for the price these shoes are not worth the money. I purchased other Vionic shoes and these ones do not live up to the name. Very disappointed.

The toe box is not deep enough - I wore them for less than a mile and had sores on top of my toes. Plus blisters on my heels. They have to go back. Vionics have been comfortable right out of the box but not these. The sole was very stiff and didn't bend much. Maybe a feature a runner would like but not for walking the dog.
