Vionic Women's Walker 23MWALK

I bought a pair a year ago to support my high arches and avoid plantar fasciitis flair ups. I’m hard on shoes since I wear them in wet grass and walking in forest preserves. The old pair continues to provide support, but they show the amount of use I got from them.These are very comfortable and they aren’t ugly for an orthopedic shoe. Having feet that don’t hurt far outweighs any minor fashion trade offs!

Vionic Men's Walker Grey 11.5 WI absolutely loved this shoe!! I liked the fit so much I ordered another pair the following week. The second pair I ordered didn't fit so well....the Right shoe seemed smaller than the Left shoe. My normal size it 10.5 EE but after reading the reviews I decided to order a Full size larger.....11.5W The first pair fit perfectly!! I received my first pair on April 1st and have worn them when I did my daily walk. I especially liked the Arch Support which really helped the pain in my feet and lower back. Today I looked at my shoe and found it was separating from the sole of the shoe. Today is April 29th and I have until May 1st to return the shoe to Amazon for a Gift Certificate refund. I also checked on the other pair of shoes and I have until May 7th....I returned both pairs today with sadness because I really liked the fit and the relief of the pain I had when I did my daily walk. So now, I have to rate these shoes at Two Stars instead of Five Stars. I have worn other shoes for three years and never had this problem. After reading more reviews I am finding that this is a reoccurring Problem with this shoe!! I am so glad I noticed the shoe coming apart today because I could NOT Return it after May 1st!! Beware.

I've bought this shoe several times for a friend of mine who is an above-the-knee veteran amputee. As an amputee, he needs to take particular care to protect his remaining foot which does extra duty. His prosthetist noted that requirements for a good shoe include arch support and a firm heel. Prior to finding these Vionics, we tried several different brands of shoes trying to find one that met requirements including Nike, DIckies, New Balance and others. While some were better than others, yet all left his foot aching at the end of the day. Then I discovered Vionics and thought to ask him if he'd like to try.First, it helped that Vionics come in many styles - and they are all better than stereotypical orthopedic shoes. He liked this shoe because it looks an active shoe that he might have worn before the amputation. The first pair was ordered from another site. When the shoe arrived, he put it on and instantly knew it was different. It had support upward and also from the sides. The heel is nice and firm. His prosthetist even looked at the shoe and liked the support (firm heel, arch support) - and also liked that it looks like a shoe and not like a medical device.He has worn these shoes everyday for the past three years. From the moment he wakes up in the morning and puts on his leg until the end of the day when he takes off his leg, he's wearing these shoes. He wears the same shoe because when after spending time each morning putting on his leg, he's not interested in spending additional time changing shoes on the leg. He says his foot feels better, his arch feels better. As he says, "with Vionic, you know you're in the right shoe for you".A pair of Orthaheel Vionic Walkers last about 8 months with constant use. After 8 months, the heel has worn to the point that it's soft and the arch support has flattened noticeably, so we replace them with exactly the same shoe. Having done a long search for a good shoe and finally found it, he's happy to stick with what works. After ordering the first pair from another site, I've ordered them from Amazon since Amazon started carrying them because the price is right.

My dad is a very picky shopper when it comes to footwear due to chronic pain issues. This product offers superb comfort, perfect fit, good arch support, and seems to be made of durable and quality material. Color came as described.
