Customer Reviews VIONIC 23 Walk

I bought these sneakers because I LOVE Vionic sandals ( I have 4 pair)! and I needed new sneakers. Why not get the sneakers from the same company as all the shoes I love? Right? There was a seam on the side of the sneakers near the heal which rubbed and really annoyed me. I tried walking around the house for two days in these sneakers. I loved the way they looked and they were perfect on my arches. I really wanted these shoes to work for me. Alas it wasn't to be. I had to send them back.

The arch support in the size 10 medium that I purchased was too close to the heel. Also the design of the shoe is very boxy in a rectangular shape as you look down on the shoe I didn't care for that. I had to return them.

There is not enough cushion on the sides of these shoes. I can't say they were too tight or too small just to unforgiving I guess I want to say. I haven't gotten corns on my little toes for years but I have them now after wearing these shoes for one whole day.

Ordered these for work. Never have I ever had or developed ingrown toenails until I wore these shoes. Sole on bottom wore thin quickly and came apart in about two months.

I was ready to trade in my old pair of Vionic tennis shoes and decided on these wanted an 'all leather shoe. Unfortunately being all leather made them not as flexible for my feet. I wear wide ordered wide and still hurt my feet. Had to return and will go back to the ones with mesh sides.

I was very excited to get my shoes but had to return them for a smaller size. They felt great when I first wore them but after wearing them a few times my feet were killing me again. By the time I had wore them enough to realize it wasn't changing it was too late to return them. I have a few pair of the sandals also and they start out great then they stretch and give me problems.

This is a well constructed shoe but very stiff. They were just not comfortable on me. The arch support fell in the wrong place too far back for my foot size 9.5.

I bought these for support and found they were uncomfortable. I wore them for 6 weeks and doubt that I ever wear them again. They are bulky and stiff and still did not have much arch support. I do not recommend these shoes.

I had the shoes for about a month or more and when first put on they feel good when walking and daily wear but by the end of the day my feet hurt and my heel spur hurts worse and when I take the shoes off for the night I can hardly walk on the foot with the spur. So I spent a lot of money on shoes that didn't live up to the hype and I wish I had bought something else.

Sneakers are at least a 1/2 size too big & too narrow even after ordering wide width. Unfortunately I threw away the box or I would have returned.

I have several other style of Vionic shoes so was really looking forward to this active sneaker. Unfortunately these were really uncomfortable. There was a ridge inside that rubbed against my toes.

I had high hopes for these shoes. They are heavy wide and ugly. I feel like Herman Munster. When I wear them with shorts it's a lot more apparent how ugly they are. Will try wearing them with jeans hoping where the jean hits them will help hide the shoe.

I've only worn these shoes 1 day so far I had little relief from my foot pain my feet didn't hurt as bad as they did before I got these shoes but maybe I was just expecting too much from them. I walk at least 10 miles a day on concrete at my job. I'll continue to ware these shoes since I have to 30 day return policy but I'm kinda doubtful they'll stop my foot pain.

I have always relied on Vionics for support. The Walker was too flexible allowing too much movement in my foot and ankle which caused pain up to my knee and hip. I returned them after wearing them twice with the same effect.

While these shoes certainly made my planter fasciitis feel better they killed my knees. I have only wore them 3 times and still pain in my knees with every wear!

Stiff. Didn't wear them. In my closet. Was hoping for superior comfort right out of the box but they will need a long break in period for that.

I bought a flat in November and my size 10 wide fit perfectly. I tried it on and purchased them in a department store to avoid the hassle of returning..( To me it is a hassle). A month ago I purchased the walker classic and suddenly a 10 wide is no longer a European 41 but now says that it is a 42. Well that would have been great if it was true! The shoes are too shortthough beautiful. The arch fits way back from my natural arch though it does give great support.The only way I can wear these shoes is with very thin socks. I am sad and disappointed. Whoever decided to change the basic size and design format of this shoe did everyone a great disservice.

I bought the Walker Classic because I need good arch support for overpronation. I was especially disappointed with them because I have had so much success with the Vionic slippers I have been wearing for years with no orthotics needed. (I have been able to wear the slippers for entire days with no knee pain.). The arch in the Walker Classic was not equal to the one in the slippers. I ordered a half size larger in case I needed to use my my orthotic inserts in the Walker but when I had them in the Walkers were too short. I was very sad to have to return them.

Not a good fit, they are really wide. Arch support seems nice.

These were so you comfortable to walk and run in. I started getting blisters. I like my shoes to fit tight or just right for exercising and these are way too wide. My feet swim in it. The material feels too hard and uncomfortable. My toes started hurting after just one wear. I returned them.

Giving these a chance, I went on a 1 mile walk. These shoes are so stiff they feel like concrete. After about 5 minutes my ankle, heel and hip were hurting. There is very little arch support and the laces are way too long. The whole reason I come to Vionic is for stylish shoes with great support. This feels like your grandmothers work boots and to add insult to literal injury, they are incredibly ugly. These are not "vital".

These shoes have great support, but they are a bulky, heavy shoe. I wore them on daily walks for about a month before I went to something else and donated these. I typically like my Vionics, but unfortunately, this purchase was not a good one for me.

I hate to leave a bad review because I love Vionic, but I agree with the other reviews about the quality not being as good as in years past. The last 2 pair of sneakers from Vionic including these hurt so bad. I can't wear them. I just changed into my very old Vionic Sunset Mary Janes and there's definitely a difference in comfort and support.

I tried the pink ones because I loved the look of them. This was the first set of Vionics I've sent back. The right one was good as far a width/length. The left on squeezed my foot and seemed much narrower than the right, even with full lace adjustment. Then I stood up. The left one squeezed my big toe and both bottoms caused awful pain in my feet WITH the orthotics I regularly use, and were super stiff and uncushioned without it. Not good for rheumatic/neuropathy feet.

I have a pair of 23Walker. I also have about 30 pair of Vionic sandals and shoes. Have worn Vionics for many many years and they have given me the ability to walk pain free. I need new 23Walkers. Based on recent Vionic purchases, the inability to undo the laces, slip my foot into the shoe and tighten up the laces simply does not work - too painful, too difficult. I think Vionics have lost their edge and I am now exploring other orthopedic shoes. Such a shame as I have been loyal to Vionic for so many years. These new designs just do not work.
