Customer Reviews VIONIC Penelope

I usually wear a 9 or a 9 1/2 in most shoes. I ordered the 9 based on reviews that these run large. They were still too big. I debated keeping them thinking that an 8 1/2 would be too small, but decided to try the smaller size. When they came I felt unsure due to the way Vionic’s insole support. It left my big toe lightly grazing the top front of the shoe and left the impression that it might actually be too small. I kept them for a couple of weeks, trying them on from time to time. Well, I just decided to take a chance and keep them and I am so happy I did. From day one these felt great and now I just love them. They didn’t need breaking in at all. The leather softened and what I had initially worried about isn’t an issue. They are well made and the leather is quite nice. I love the detail on the back too. I find a shoe like this is great for running errands and the other times I want to be casual but look pulled together. I should add that my feet require that I wear a certain quality shoe. I’ve had 3 toe surgeries in the past. So happy that these worked out for me!

I LOVED the style of these shies! Unfortunately I have a narrow foot and my heel was slipping out as I walked. A size smaller would have cramped my toes.

I have many pairs of Vionic slip on shoes and sneakers. It’s about the only brand I buy. However although the length is true to size my heel kept slipping out of the shoe. I even tried wearing them with a thin sock with the same result. The toe box was medium width but the heel area too wide for my medium width foot. Thank goodness Zappos makes returns easy.

This shoe is so cute, but like another reviewer said the elastic on top rubbed at the joint of my big toe. Not the best for a wider toe box.

I wear a 9.5 the first pair I received was more like a 10.5 so I exchanged for a size 9 but they were at least a size 10!

These shoes fit perfectly from the moment I opened the package and put them on. They have room in them for a slightly wider foot (not necessarily a wide with foot) and a good toe box. Arch support is good for those with plantar fasciitis and arches that are falling. The only thing that I would change about these shoes is it could use a better tread to provide more traction.

Cute color but the shoe was very stiff. The arch support was great but the heel was so wide that my heel popped out when I walked. Sorry but they are going back.

Dear Vionic, I don't understand why you don't make 10.5 shoes! I wear a 10.5 US and like a few other reviewers stated, my heals came out of the shoes while walking. These shoes are very good looking, I am contemplating trying a 10.

These are a nice pair of leather sneakers. It was between these and a pair of Taos and the other ones won out on cushy soles and overall comfort. But it was close. I'm almost always a size 9 M and these fit perfectly. My toe bed is on the wider side but there was no rubbing. Solid choice if you need a casual but nice shoe to head back to the office in.

This shoe is so attractive, I wanted it to fit so badly, but it’s a touch too wide. I don’t have narrow feet either. Gorgeous shoe though.

Very comfy and stylish with socks or without. The leather is soft. Fits true to size

I have worn Vionics before and like the orthotic support and styling. These, however, run large and are less-elevated than they look. I like a think, platform sole, so almost returned them, but they are comfortable and work with my problematic feet. They look a little wide on the foot but their good quality saves them from being dowdy.

A pair of the most comfortable shoes I have had in a long time! I recently had surgery to correct a bunion and hammertoe and now I am extremely picky about the comfort of my shoes. These look good too! The toe box is roomy, but the style makes the toe shape more tapered looking!

Ran wide in the heel area, but I will make them work since they were so comfy

Love this shoe! It’s my second pair of this style and I’ll probably get another. Casual, comfortable but supportive for my plantar fasciitis. Love Vionic!!

I was looking for a pair of slip-on shoes to wear on a long plane trip and then a cruise with numerous excursions and took a chance on these, having never tried Vionic before. They are absolutely perfect. They look great with jeans as well as slightly more formal pants, and have remained comfortable after many hours of wear. The arch support may, in fact, be a little too much after 8+ hours of touring, so I'll take some less supportive inserts as an alternative to use if I need to, as the insole is easily removable.

These shoes run a bit big. I’m usually a 9 and was able to wear an 8. I have a high arch but these are so comfortable. Perfect for spring and summer

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. The arch support is perfect for me. Love the shoes.

Apprec Vionic arch support. These are true to size, quality made, and a great fit. Very comfortable and just became my favorite kicks.

Beautifully made shoes, great arch support.

Runs BIG. I mean, like 3/4 to 1 full size big. So order accordingly. Super comfortable, though!

Easy on and off and great support for a casual shoe.

Really loved the look of this shoe. The arch support insoles are also amazing. I wear 6.5 - 7 but normally size up to 7.5 for an athletic shoe. After reading reviews and size chart, I ordered a 7 and was slipping out of it so I exchanged for a 6.5. It was the right fit and had plenty of room in the toe box. It was just slightly touching the side of my little toes and I knew this would feel worse after walking a mile or so sightseeing. It would be great as a casual shoe but I was specifically looking for something to take to Europe and be able to walk miles in.
