Customer Reviews VIONIC Karsen

I love these! I got the black rubber and they're so stylish. They have really amazing arch support as well, however they are quite tight-fitting around the heel/back of ankle. I could definitely see myself getting a blister if I wear these for too long, and unfortunately since they're a tight fit there isn't enough room to wear a thicker sock with them.

This boot is a bit snug as some reviewers said, not only on the foot itself but at the top as well. Personally I enjoy the extra support, so will be keeping them. They look great on and have been fully waterproof as advertised.

I purchased the Black Leather back in November and have been wearing them throughout the winter. They are excellent waterproof boots and easy to clean/maintain - they have been through city streets ice and lots of snow and still look great! Very comfortable to walk around in and wear every day. I have previous stress fractures that now require me to wear custom orthotics so I always have to size up in order for the orthotics to fit and with these shoes there is plenty of room for the orthotics and a little more for my thicker winter socks. I recommend wearing with taller socks until they are broken in because they can chafe the ankles initially with shorter socks. My only gripe with them is the zipper that has 'WATERPROOF' + a rain drop on it I know it is picky but it makes me feel like a child that my boots clearly state on them that they are waterproof. It is also labeled on the inside that they are waterproof so I would have preferred the zipper handle was left blank (or even a just a plain V for the brand).

Love the look very cute boot. They're very well made. Great arch support though I was expecting the insoles to be squishier. This is my first pair of Vionics. First time I wore them I only spent a few hours in them and they were very comfortable. Second time I wore them I wore them all day and spent a lot of time standing and my heels hurt at the end of the day. I have had trouble finding boots that don't squeeze my ankles since my ankles are a little thicker. These worked well for me. I ordered my normal size though I could have sized up to allow a thicker sock to be worn. I don't think these run large as other reviews stated.

Cute but not comfy. I wanted to love these, but they are heavy and seem to rub my leg , shaft is tall.

I wanted to like these, but they were really big and clunky on my foot. I had to send them back.

So cute. Cut my circulation in my forefoot right away but oddly wide in the ankle. So bummed

But apparently my arch is too high, I can't even get my foot in. I ordered my normal size and I'm afraid if I sized up the boot itself would be too big. They are cute but heavy. Sad to have to return them.

They are absolutely great boots but they are not wide enough and since I had foot surgery after receiving them I will never be able to wear them.

I bought these leather boots back at the beginning of 2022 for work boots. They were great for a while. Comfy, no arch or heel pain. I am on my feet for 7-10 hours a day and there wasn't a ton of pain with these. They did start to look quite ratty quickly though. I used polish and tried to make them last but the soles of the boots wore right through the bottoms and left little holes. The right sole broke completely in half. :( bummed that these didn't last longer. As compared to other leather boots in a price range that I own, they didn't even manage to last half as long.

More like a rain boot , made out rubber wish had the other material one available

These shoes are huge. I mean, they seem to run large. But also, they are just big, hulking blocks in the way they are designed. My husband asked me if I'd bought the shoes for him. I gave them two stars because they did seem pretty comfortable. But I sent them back.

The boots are cute but since they go up so high in my leg, I would need to wear longer socks to make them not rub against my leg. I didn't want to buy socks just for these shoes so I returned.

They look great, but are so narrow on top that I could barely squeeze my foot in. My foot was comfortable, once I got the boot on. Midway through the day, however, the rubbing against my calf became painful. I wore them unzipped the rest of the day, but that didn't help. The chafing was so bad on the side of my calf where the seam is that I have a tender sore like a rug burn. Unfortunately, I will need to return them.

Not only do these shoes give me blisters, my calves have never been tighter or more sore. They are so cute, I wish they weren't so painful. I would power through the blisters if my calves did not suffer so much.

I needed a waterproof boot and thought these would be perfect. I only purchase Vionic shoes, because I need the extra arch support. Unfortunately, these boots were too small and narrow for my feet. I'm always a size 7 in Vionics, so I was surprised when they didn't fit. These are the first pair I've ever had to return. I would size up- especially if you plan on wearing a thicker pair of socks.

The material was dull and ugly. It looked like the type of material that would easily get scratched or scuffed and show every mark. The pics do not show the dullness of these shoes. While I knew the shoes were not leather, I thought it was supposed to look like leather but they do not. I can't comment on the fit or comfort because I didn't even try them on.

Clunky, heavy & uncomfortable. Not at all what I was hoping for. Lousy arch support, heavy and rubbing at the top. So disappointed!

These boots didn't work for me at all. They are incredibly uncomfortable around the ankle and calfjust awful really. And they are ridiculously chunky. I sent them right back.

Other reviews were positive except for a mention they run narrow. I purchased a pair in my size and they were practically a size too small. Recommend sizing up.

Very stiff. Not comfortable at all. Will be sending back.

I purchased this boot as I needed something to walk my dog in the snowy, wet winter months. I put the boot on and they were very comfortable so headed out with my Pup. Oh boy, did these give me HUGE blisters on the inside of my heel. I had to have my husband get the car as I couldn't finish our walk. I wasn't able to put shoes on for a week while the sores healed. I'm so disappointed and now I'm stuck with them.

I'm trying to order me full size 12 1/2 or 13 because I am taller woman..
