VionicMen's Walker, D(M) US

shoe size appears to be slightly smaller than advertised.??

Great for exercise walking. I also wore these in Disneyland for 4 days and naturally my feet hurt but overall I was comfortable and able to walk 10 miles a day.

needs some breaking in fit is snug different type of sneaker. wish it was made in a country friendly to America if not the U.S. A.

I just recently had surgery to repair my torn quadriceps. I needed a shoe that would provide more support without sacrificing comfort - not just a standard tennis shoe - for daily walks and physical therapy. If you’re in the same situation I highly recommend these. The only other shoe that I found better than these were Hokas.

I am one that wants to go for comfort and then looks, but I just could not bring myself to keep these shoes. They are so ugly. I am still on my search to find at least halfway decent looking shoes for a trip. I do need the support and comfort, but they have to at least look a little good. They seem to run a little narrow to me and I did order the wide. So I am definitely sending them back.

Me agrada la construcción del producto y la presencia pero no me funciona porque no tengo deformaciones en los pies GAD

I've been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for almost a year, and I've gotten various advice from doctors, forums, and best of all, a shoe salesman. I didn't develop PF by being an active runner. I didn't develop it from plyometrics, or any dynamic and explosive exercise. I developed PF by being too heavy and trying to get to a 10,000 step goal :( This makes it no fun to try and continue that increased activity. The first steps are a real killer in the morning and long days of standing and walking leave me limping.I'm almost over the Plantar Fasciitis now, thanks in no small part to these shoes. I was frustrated that advice from the doctor wasn't helping, and the solutions that runners used and discussed only left me in more pain--all that advise was geared toward preventing PF and helping the athletic recover from a sports injury. The advice I got from a local shoe salesman has really saved me though.First for me. NEVER WALK BAREFOOT, especially early in the morning. I keep a pair of Nike sandals (which are surprisingly supportive) close to the bed and step into them first thing in the morning.Second for me. Get a really GOOD pair of walking shoes for my days off. I opted for these walking shoes. What a difference from the Skechers I'd been wearing. Thanks, Amazon! The local shoe salesman basically explained that I absolutely did NOT want a shoe with a flexible sole. This was the opposite of what an athletic sufferer may want to do. Having the flexible sole forces your foot to get stronger and stretch out the injured section of Plantar Fascia. For me, being the very non-athletic sufferer, it was causing me to constantly re-injure the foot. What shoes work for you may be completely different than what work for me, but I feel I found a good shoe. More belowFinally for me. I purchased a set of the Superfeet BLUE Premium Insoles for my work shoes. They add the same kind of support to my work dress shoes that I was finally getting from my sandals and walking shoes. I spend approximately five hours of my day standing and walking, logging 6-8k steps on average. I can finally get through each day (for a few weeks now) with nothing more than normal fatigue. I feel like if always used these insoles and followed the no-barefoot advice I would have been free from PF a long time ago.As anyone who has Plantar Fasciitis knows, it can be a real activity killer. But the combination of the above practices has really allowed some healing over the last several weeks. In fact, I have recently taken up golf and have decided that when I have time or am only playing 9 holes I will walk a course. I am wretched at golf, but it's absolutely awesome that I've gotten through about 100 holes of golf without any PF pain!I will be ordering more shoes from VIONIC and will have great things to say. The one thing I will mention, though, is that they do run small. I wear a men's 13D. If I had to order shoes outside my size I could get away with a size 12.5--my feet aren't long enough to have any issues with an undersized 13, but those of you who find your toes crammed into your shoes I can't help you. If in doubt, order these shoes a half-size too small. You will be receiving a great shoe! What I needed out of a day-off shoe was support, and these shoes have been great. In reference to the golf, my first few rounds I wore these shoes instead of golf shoes. They provided good enough traction that I could play during the tail-end of a wet winter, but more importantly I found I can finally walk a couple miles without massive Plantar Fascia pain!I haven't had to break these shoes in, and I have no blisters or hotspots. Very, very happy with my purchase...I will also be posting an edited version of this review for the insoles I purchased, but I really want to recommend these shoes!

These shoes fit nice, but thats about it as far as the good. Once I start walking they are incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like im walking directly on the pavement, no cushion at all. My toes and the balls of my feet are sore after wearing these shoes for too long. Wish i could send them back but Ive worn them too many times (hoping it would get better once they were "broken in" but they still hurt.) Im going to try buying some cushioned inserts to see if that helps.Overall, super disappointed in these pricey shoes.

Having read the reviews, I bought the 10.5 size extra wide fit instead of my normal size 10. Thank goodness I did, a size 10 would have had to go back. I broke my left heel some years ago, it has left me with considerable pain after any lengthy walk. Firstly, these shoes were not an immediate comfy fit for me. Even with the wide fit they rubbed at the sides, and I needed to wear protective plasters for a week or two. But I could feel the benefit of the cushioned sole and the support they gave, so I persevered. They are now extremely comfortable, with zero rubbing issues. I don't know why their sizing is out, but with such consistent feedback of them being "undersized" perhaps the manufacturer should consider a review of that issue. I would buy this brand again, but wear them in rather more cautiously (with a stock of sticking plasters!) Also, how come there are walking style boots for women but not for men? I would get a pair for winter if they were available.

Very comfortable, would buy again. But definitely 100% not waterproof. Just don't use in the rain and reep the benefits of the marvellous shoes

These walking trainers are well made, sturdy, supportive, and comfortable.But beware of the sizing. I ordered my usual size 11 and my toes were crushed up against the toe of the shoe, so I have exchanged them for a size 12 which fit fine.

Unfortunately not sufficient room for my arthritic big toes & had to return them.

ive waited a while before leaving this review, to get an accurate opinion of these shoes. I ordered the black ones as the white was sold out. i have hardly been able to walk because of the pain on top of my feet, because of arthritis and hypermobility. My podiatrist suggested I buy support shoes, i have fallen arches and every step was excrutiating. they take a bit of getting used to as they are heavy, but they are very supportive and for the first time in 2 years i can walk without falling over or losing my balance. They support every part of your foot giving total stability.They are leather, i went for the 7.5 size i am normally a 7 but with fallen arches i have gone up half a size. i also bought Wellness support slippers. They do cost a lot of money but if you have pain in your feet you will pay anything for relief, these are worth every penny.not expensive at all for the support they give and my confidence knowing i am not going to fall to the side when walking.
