Vionic Womens 23walk

I am so glad AMAZON had this as the website did not, nor did the shopping network. Although the Vionic slipper worked at size 9, I needed the 9.5 in this, as I had in other athletic shoes. I am VERY happy to have a "built in" orthotic that works for me and my flat feet. I have expensive orthotics (from years ago), but this fit is better because of the heel cup. Also, insurance does not cover orthotics any more it seems. If you haven't seen the video demo showing how your ankle will align with your knee when you wear these, I recommend seeing it. It was not a sales pitch. The alignment part was new and worked for me anyway. The shoe helped lift my arch AND ankle, something that the orthotic could not do. Also for me it is very comfortable. IT IS WORTH A TRY, if you are looking for something to help your feet and over-all alignment. Goes beyond the benefit to the feet. ALSO, it makes you feel very STABLE on your feet. I am on my feet all day; this shoe really helps prevent any soreness in the shin or leg. I am not aware of it at all which is what you want. BTW-- definitely NOT glamorous. OK for me. I wear them to work with black pants. I guess I am beyond wanting to make a glamour statement when it comes to a "work" shoe. I have other shoes for that... I also would like to get the separate inserts for my other shoes. THANKS, AMAZON AND ORTHAHEEL!

The shoes were good the first month but after the insoles were falling apart and the actual shoe fell apart on the sides

I'm flatfooted and I've had arch problems/pain for years. I think I've developed the plantar problem in my left foot also. Gradually, over the past couple years, I've put on a few extra pounds which has made walking distances difficult. Recently, I also quit smoking which hasn't helped my weight either. I decided to get some ortho shoes, as a last ditch effort before going to the doctor (I hate going to the doctors) so I could get back into walking. I purchased these, mostly because a majority of the ratings were really good. As soon as they arrived, I put these shoes on and IMMEDIATELY felt the comfort in my arches. I powerwalked three miles the same day- the longest I've walked in years without pain. The only thing that kept me from walking longer was I developed a small blister on my right foot but probably need to adjust the laces or change socks- I'm not necessarily faulting the shoes. There were some negative reviews about them but everyone is different- I would definitely say they are worth a try if you have foot/arch pains. I normally wear 9 1/2 or 10 depending on brand. I ordered 9 1/2 and these seem to fit fine. 10's would have been too big.

This is one of the first pair of shoes I purchased after I found out I overpronate. I don't feel any difference anywhere in the shoes; it's just like any well-fitting sports shoes.

The shoe fit well in the toe box, but was horribly uncomfortable. If they were comfortable I could have overlooked how ugly they were, but...so shiney and ugly in top of the lack of any comfort redeeming factors mean I am returning these things asap.

I’m a mail carrier and on my feet for 6-10 miles a day. I’ve had plantar fasciitis for years so shoes are important. These shoes are fantastic, only down side is I need new shoes about every for months, but that’s with any shoe I’ve found. I have been getting these for the past year and half ever since I found them.

These are true to size. I normally wear an 8.5-9M shoe, but ordered 1/2 size up based on other customer comments. The 9.5 is too large for my foot, as every 9.5 shoe is. Returned and ordered the same shoe in size 9, and white instead. I do not like the black, looks "institutional" on me, my husband's comment was that they [the black shoe] looks kinda weird. BTW-- he has had a pair of this same shoe in Men's for two years and loves them. That is my inspiration for buying this shoe for myself. Hopefully the size 9 fits well.

I can wear these shoes all day because I walk like a normal person: no rolling gate, no hip or back pain, no worries about night time foot pain.
