Vionic Walker Women's Plantar Fasciitis Shoe - White Blue - Orth Blue - 6 Wide

I like Vionic sneakers because they provide a lot of support, the tread lasts much longer than some other brands of sneakers, the fit is good for an individual with a wide foot (wide toe box), they are well made, comfortable fit. I have found that the Vionic sneakers last for quite a long time. I don't have the foot condition that these were made for, but the shoe fits as well as the other Vionic shoes I have purchased. These were such a good bargain, I bought them. As well, I researched and found that a shoe made for planter fascitis would not negatively effect someone with normal feet.

My first thought was that these shoes had no padding and wouldn't work for me. I have neuropathy in my toes and need lots of toe room and (I thought) padding. However, I decided to try them out anyway and I absolutely love them. I have lots of toe room and to my surprise no pain or burning at all in my toes. I also love that when I put my foot down I feel no rocking of my foot at all. My personal belief after wearing these shoes is that we might be damaging our feet with all the extra padding and such that we've been wearing for years. I work all day on my feet on concrete floors. I am a VERY FAST walker, so I put my feet down harder than most people. If these shoes work so well for me, I think they will work for anyone else. I suggest giving them a try if you haven't already.

Very disappointed. I have several pairs of Orthoheel/Vionic sandals and love the support they give me for my plantar fasciitis so I had high expectations for these shoes. I was very disappointed when I tried them on and did NOT feel the familiar arch support of the sandals. Upon further inspection I found that the "support" isn't built into the shoes as it is with the base of the sandals, but it is a FLAT shoe with no arch support and an orthotic insert. And not a great orthotic at that. If you have severe PF as I do, these are not the shoes you seek. The orthotic can be bought separately and put into any shoe. The orthotic is for mild pronation, not the kind associated with plantar fasciitis.

I really like these shoes, they really fit my feet well. I have heel pain in my left foot, so that is why I bought them. It takes a little time getting use to hard bottom, but once you do that they are really good. I wear them every time I go shopping and my heel pain does not bother me. The arch support is really good. I would recommend these shoes to anyone that had heel pain.

This is my fourth pair in the same size, but this one is slightly smaller.

These are the first tennis shoes wide enough for my feet. They are super supportive. Great for the gym or hiking trail. I think they look great. My feet are so happy.

these shoes are the most comfortable shoes i have owned they are really wide my toes are not crunched love them

I usually order a half or size bigger in sneakers but this is true to size. I expected a softer more flexible shoe. I find this quite stiff. Next time will look for more of a running shoe.
