Customer Reviews VIONIC Breilyn

THIS IS MY SECOND PAIR OF VICVONICS AND IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST. THEY ALWAYS GET COMPLIMENTS ON THEM AND FOR SUEW YTHEY ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SNEAKERS I HAVE EVER OWNED.

I have been wanting to get a pair of Vionics for the longest time and I just received these today! They fit perfectly super cute didn't feel heavy at all to me. I need 2 hip replacements which I am apprehensive about getting so I needed a super comfortable shoe with good arch support as I have very bad flat feet. I am very pleased with these.

These shoes look great! They are stiff compared to the Tokyos and narrow in the toe box.

These shoes are fun and have a vintage look. They are a little clunky, but I still wear them all the time!

I ordered these because I thought they were a little retro looking. Super cute & fun, I love them.

Good support runs a little narrow, have to break them in

Love the look and style of these tennis shoes. Looking forward to wearing them.

I finally got a pair of sneakers with style and comfort. Ordered black and goes with everything.

Fits nice so far. The tongue of the shoe is stiff now - hope it softens up as worn.

Firm shoes but feel great and hopefully will provide support for a long time. I did read that they ran small so I ordered 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly.

I have always had good results with Vionic's in the past. I needed a pair of navy shoes and these were perfect.

Before purchasing, I read other reviews. Several mentioned they found these shoes 'as stiff''. I knew that was a feature that would help my hurting feet! Based upon the reviews, I went up 1/2 size. I found them too big and reordered in my usual size. Perfect! The stiffness holds my feet firmly without lateral movement, which aggravates my arthritis.

Bought the Beilyn and Leyo for comparison for walking shoes. The Breilyn is more of a fashion shoe rather than a sports shoe. The suede and satin really don't provide functionality for an active shoe as they would just be ruined. NOTE - this shoe runs big and wide. If I would keep the shoes, I would go a Half-size smaller. The shoes are a bit on the heavier side for walking shoes.

Arch support is very good and I can take out the insole to add my own orthotic/lift. Very stable feel and comfortable to walk. Since I have a narrow foot, my only issue is that these are a bit wide for me. The initial lacing was on "top" which was awkward for me so I switched it for the "traditional" lacing.

These are great shoes. I need a good arch support for foot pain and these definitely help with that. (Side note: I bought the Vionic women's active insole to replace the insole that came with the shoe.) I gave them one less star for one reason. They are hot on your feet in warm weather. The uppers are nylon and suede which looks great, but it's not a breathable mesh like you find on many Vionic sneakers. I walked through a dry, dusty park for two miles and the shoes (navy) definitely showed the dirt. I wiped them with a damp rag and they looked good as new. I like them a lot, but will probably buy other shoes for the summer that are cooler on my feet.

I agree that the fit of these shoes is off, namely in the toe area. I've been wearing vionic size 10 shoes for years though so I stuck it out- I broke them in in just a day. They are stylish, I would definitely not wear these for exercise- casual shoes only for sure. Very cute!

I suffer from Achilles Tendonitis and purchased these sneakers for power walking. They are very comfortable and supportive but heavy heavier than a regular sneaker. I am sure this is necessary as they are so supportive but it does make the power walking difficult as I can't lift my feet as fast as I can with regular sneakers. It feels as if I am walking with cement shoes. I would definitely recommend for support and comfort. I cannot walk with regular sneakers anymore so this is the best I am going to get.

I found the shoes, a little, bulky and heavy; however, I do wear a size 11. They feel comfortable in the toes and for running to the grocery store. I purchased them for walking shoes; however, I do not find them the best for walking shoes. They do provide support, but are not the most comfortable for long walks. I would say that they're very durable though. Quality is good.

As usual, a very comfortable Vionic shoe, but just a bit too bulky for me.

It's difficult to put it on, I was struggling to put my entire foot. It's not as comfortable sneaker/walking shows.

Ordered usually size 9 and found toes crunched- returned because even 1/2 size bigger would not have had enough room. Please work on consistent sizing like was available last year. Thai is the 4th pair I've returned due to sizing issues.
