20 Best Casual Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis (2022 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original languageI got these because of awful problems with my feet, particularly fasciitis and achilles problems, and I have to walk quite a bit. I needed a comfortable fit. These come in 2 sizes of width, the WIDE was perfect for me rather than EXTRA WIDE.

I was able to judge the correct size by measuring my foot length and using the fitting guide. Perfect. The support they give is very good even though they are very light weight shoes. They have what they call an anti-pronation ring which helps stop my foot from rolling inwards as I walk.

I knocked off a star though because they are not waterproof. For £75 I’d have expected a waterproof membrane to be built in. Having said that, I would buy again.

IšverstiShow in original languageUnfortunately my trainers didn’t fit. Good width across toes, too wide over-rest of foot. Also too short. Fabric tops are a cheap poor quality. Soles seem to be durable.

My major problem is that it’s impossible to return the trainers. Fitville admitted that it’s expensive to return to their distributor in Germany and offered me a refund of £50 instead, and that I keep the trainers.

This is a thoughtful gesture, however I would have preferred a full refund or trainers that actually fit, but I’m not prepared to try another size and having the same returns problem. This company needs to sort out their returns issues before they are real contenders in the trainer market!.

I purchased these in my “regular” size – 10W. Am very thankful QVC seems to have great shoes in sizes for people with larger and wider feet. I tried this shoe because I have metatarsus adductus – c-curved feet.

It was never corrected when I was a child and I only discovered the issue after I went to a podiatrist. Typically finding supportive, fashionable shoes is a royal annoyance. I have to wear custom orthotics.

Saw these and thought I would give them a try. As I was working out in them the big toe on my left foot kept bumping into the front of the shoe–hmmm. too small. But I liked all the other aspects of fit and comfort.

Sooooooooo I decided to try another pair in a 1/2 size larger. PERFECT workout shoe! I’m keeping both pairs. So if you are like me consider sizing up a 1/2 size in these. Other than that I have never had such a comfortable supportive shoe that fits my custom orthotics beautifully! Thank you, GDEFY!!! Now if you only made shoes other than athletic ones with the same support comfort.

PLEASE?????.

I rarely write reviews but use them myself extensively, so I really have to submit one about these shoes. I have high arches and always get arch pain and other foot problems when walking. Not with these.

These are by far the most supportive and comfortable walking shoes (including sneakers and hiking boots!) I have ever worn. They provide several different orthotic inserts that you can try separately or put them all together, and this is the key.

You must try the different variations to get just the right fit and level of support you are looking for (read the instructions!). I ended up using all of the orthotics together and do not get the heal pain from walking that I would always get from other shoes (even Keen hiking boots, which I love, and Skechers Archfits, which I also love).

Just try them!.

I am pleased with these Mighty Walk shoes in most respects. I love the interchangeable insoles and quickly went for the “Corrective” one with arch support. They have a substantial sole, good for walking on cobblestones and not feeling every little pebble as in typical athletic shoes.

They have a very roomy toe box, which is terrific. I find them a wee bit short, and I had to go up not one but two sizes from my normal to not feel my toes touching the front inside. They are advertised as having a slight rocker bottom, but I dispute that (having worn MBTs for years).

There is a separate layer of heel material set in from the outer edge of the sole, rather than a smooth sole from heel to toe, making an odd roll-through. The light blue/grey color is reasonably neutral.

These looked to be everything they were talked up to be until they arrived. Could hardly get my foot in and I don’t have a wide foot. They were so uncomfortable like walking on wood. The insole doesn’t appear to have any padding whatsoever other than the arch support.

The tongue of the trainer on the underside is badly finished off and rubbed on the top of my foot. So would have been forced to wear socks to make them in any way comfortable, then that would have meant getting a bigger size as they are so neat.

I have at least 6 other pairs of Vionic’s, sandals, slippers and trainers and they are all fantastic. Don’t know what’s gone wrong here but it’s enough to put me off the brand, particularly at this price – they are way off the mark.

There are only 2 brands of footwear I can cope with these days having plantar fasciitis on one foot, they are Vionic and Skechers. The way these have been made is enough to make me walk straight to Skechers from now on.

Really disappointed. Being returned.

I always wear a size 10. So I ordered a size 10. When it arrived I had to recheck label several times because the toe box was so short it was bumping my big tow. I almost thought that someone put a 9-1/2 into a 10 box.

But the label said 10. Quality of shoe was good, but someone didn’t check the laces. The tip was missing and the lace could slip out of hole too easy. I would be uneasy recommending it because someone might be expecting a normal length and it may be too short for them also.

The width was medium as posted and I purchased a medium. I would really like Vionic and others to make Narrow widths, but I don’t see any. Anyway the width size isn’t going to correct the depth of the toe box.

Not often do I write one of these but I have to say that in all my 74 yrs have I ever had a pair shoes that I could actually wear all day. My body wants to sway because of my problems. With these shoes they keep me straight on.

I am so in love with these that I am thinking about another pair in another color, if they are available. Mine are the awesome pink looking ones that matched a lot of my tops. I love love love them. I also really love my other Vionics a lot.

OH! I bought these a nine because I wear thin socks or footies with them.

I have been wearing Brooks Addiction Walker for stability but they changed their shoe and their current V2 didn’t provide enough cushion on sidewalks. So I decided to try the NB 928v3—these 9. 5 mens fit well because of the roomy box toe—Brooks, I needed size 10 which made those a little too wide.

The NB also allows custom orthodics, which I need because of tendon surgery, and they provide plenty of cushioning on hard surfaces. They took awhile to get used to because the front of the show is tipped up—I think for a push off—but I wonder what they would be like with normal flat toe.

There is enough stability to prevent plantar fasciitus, and hip pain has gone away. I don’t like the way the velcro tabs stick out after you pull them tight, which makes them look clunky. I would like them to look “smarter” with a pair of slacks.

This shoe has been my go-to shoe for everyday use for several years. I wear them every day and get about a year out of a pair. This shoe provides not only the width but also the height that my messed-up feet need to avoid pain while walking.

Not to get personal, but my feet have been bent out of shape by past gout and arthritis problems, resulting in bunions, hammer toes and subsequent outward turning toes. This particular New Balance shoe has given me the great gift of painless walking because of its large toe box.

My only regret is that I need a new pair now and there are none available due to supply chain problems. I purchased a similar pair of New Balance but my feet hurt when wearing them.

I purchased this shoe several years ago in black and loved them. Last month, I purchased black and moss. I love the new moss color! Unfortunately the style has changed and I returned them, twice! 1. The shoe measures 1.

5 sizes smaller than marked, the width was also different (ordering the same size as my old pair of Dansko Paisley was not successful), 2. the shoelaces can no longer provide a comfortable custom fit – the tongue is stitched to the upper on each side and the fit is more like a slip-on shoe (so, replacing these shoes with a larger size did not work for a narrow-medium width foot).

I hope that Dansko will consider making shoes that are functional along with more accurate sizing. It would be helpful if QVC/Dansko (and other shoe manufacturers) would post the inside dimensions of their shoes – similar to the Vionics website.

We all measure and know the length and width of each foot. Please consider making online shoe shopping easy.

The shoes are very cute. I loved the way they looked. They fit well and true to size. I am a 7. 5 and these fit perfectly. My issue with these is that the sole was cut narrow instead of a little wider than the foot.

That made an unsteady platform and caused my ankles to roll inward. If they had been cut just a little wider, they would have been stable and my ankles wouldn’t have rolled. You can see how the sole is cut in at the bottom and I just can’t figure out why they did that.

Their other shoes don’t have this design. The second problem was how LOUD these shoes are. Oh my goodness. If you have to walk on hard wood floors or laminates people are going to hear you coming from a mile away.

They are clunky sounding and have a high pitch screeching sound. WHAT? Seriously. these are only good for being on unpolished concrete, dirt, and carpets. If you work in any commercial place with hard floors.

buy earplugs for yourself and your coworkers. It’s embarrassing. These are also not well cushioned and have very little arch. I can’t see how they would be comfortable enough to wear all day or on a walk.

…away! I have a high instep and high arch. I had tried Dansko clogs/shoes and loved them until they wore a bump on the top of my arch because the patent leather didn’t stretch. Hated to give them up, then went through years of trial and error with the soft soled athletic walking shoes, New Balance, Birks, Crocs, Merrell’s…and I’ve had low back pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, heel spurs, and tendinitis in ankle.

I searched Dansko and found these lace up work shoes with firm sole for the instep, just enough kush for the heel, firm sole makes me stand up straight, and leather upper that can take the abuse of my job.

I wear them at work for 13-14 hour shifts and they get me through the day. As soon as I put them on my aches and pains disappear. No more fasciitis, heel pain, arch pain, or ankle pain. I think this is my 5th pair!.

The Carly is my absolute favorite sneaker I have ever worn. I have worn a black pair for close to a year now and they are still in great shape. Arch support is perfect and these stay bouncy all day long.

Toe box has enough room to not cramp pinky toes or cause stress to large toe joints. The upper mesh material make these great for year-round wear, and they wash up easily, too. I wear the black outdoors and to work.

I purchased a second pair in light pink (they are so, so pretty for all the blush/rose gold lovers) that I wear exclusively in my house when I am cooking, cleaning or on my feet for long periods of time.

These are the best shoes for people who need lots of arch support and cushion. Highly recommend!! I usually wear a size 7. 5- 8 and 38 is a perfect fit for me.

I love these sneakers. At first, I was concerned that they were too large, but wearing a short sock makes them very comfortable. Was concerned that the back was high and would rub the back of my ankle, but they do not.

Very comfortable. I walk miles daily wearing them with no problem. Easy to slip on and can be tightened or loosened with the decorative shoelace if necessary. Ample footbed, great arch support. No toe crunching.

I have the peach and will order more colors.

My sister blessed me with the burgundy Carly Sneaker for my birthday. They were so very very comfortable and elegant that I quickly went to the website to purchase another pair for myself. This Angie slip-on sneaker I selected felt like clouds on my feet.

so light. The tie dye color was exactly what I was looking for because the colors matched a couple of jogging suits I have, However, when I walked the back of the shoe flopped off of my heel with every step I took.

I really loved everything about that shoe but due to my narrow heel/ankle, the fit just did not work for me. I STILL LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT SHOE!.

Unfortunately, this shoe was not a comfortable as I’d hoped. It was lighweight but the comfort was just not there for me. I have other styles of Therafit shoes and love them. This style just was not for me.

Sorry Therafit!.

I think I’ll need to return the shoes. They are too wide and don’t fit my foot. I contacted customer service last week in regard to removing the bar inserts and she said it would make the heel more comfortable but it didn’t.

Can you let me know how I can return the shoes? Thank you.

I tried on the right shoe and it was fantastic, put the other one on and not good. The shoe felt uncomfortable. The 3 rods that go through the heel of the sole were lose and the actual sole was put together unevenly, and the arch support hit further back than the other shoe.

Then they have nerve to charge 6 dollars to return them.

I really needed a shoe that I could just slip into. I was very skeptical about how well these shoes would work for that. I was so thrilled to find that they work like a charm. And. of course they are amazingly comfortable as with all OrthoFeet shoes! I’m so glad I tried them!.

I love these sneakers. I have 2 pair now in different colors and will probably get more. They fit well and feel like you’re walking on clouds!! A+++

The shoes that I purchased from Orthofeet are the finest I have ever worn! I have paid double the price of these shoes and others don’t match the feel, comfort or wearablity of yhe Ortho shoes!

I have been meaning to write this review for the longest time! I purchased the Palma stretch shoe several months ago. i was so glad to find a shoe that I could wear that did not look like a cunning shoe.

I wear this shoe even for semi dress! I was so impressed, that I immediately purchased two more pair!. I have not even opened the boxes, except to initially try them on…as I am still wearing the first pair! Which is TOTALLY unusual for me…I have worn Mephisto for years, and after a few months, I was needing to replace.

These stretch shoes still look great! AND in my right shoe, I need to wear a lift, personally made orthotics made by my Physical therapist, and finally a brace that fits under my orthotic, to help with my walking/ ALL OF THIS fits! … and my shoes are super comfortable… and no one would know what’s going on inside! I am thrilled with these shoes! And show them off to all who will listen to me.

my husband just bought his first pair of Ortho feet today. boy, is he going to be so surprised at how wonder they are!.

I love the Palma Stretch Knit Black shoes! They feel fantastic! They are soft and comfortable and stretch and protect my toes from being hammertoe. I had a little problem with hammertoe and Orthofeet shoes have corrected the little problem I had! I am very happy with the shoes I wear for work.

I have 4 pair of Orthofeet shoes I wear for work, 2 pair of Orthofeet sleepers, 3 pair of Orthofeet sandals, 1 pair of Orthofeet dress open toe sandals. I have 2 different styles of socks for work. And just bought a pair of 2 piece compression socks that feel awesome! I’m very happy with Orthofeet and recommend this and and their shoes to anyone! Thank you for saving my hurting feet!.

It is rare that an Orthofeet shoe purchase needs to go back for an exchange. Once in 15 pairs I believe! Palma stretch knit shoes are just what I needed at this point in my aging feet “journey. ”😊. When your feet, knees and lower back begin to ache again, look at the arches, soles and “toe box” of the ones you are wearing.

In my case all shoes are Orthofeet so I was really concerned. Yep! I had worn out the soles of three pairs to the degree that my overpronation problem had reappeared, uncorrected by my worn shoes. The restart of plantar fasciitis had begun! And that model was no longer available so I ordered Palma.

Relief. Realignment. Pain no more! I wear this pair of Palma now every day. Uh huh, you know where this is heading— more Orthofeet in the future!.

I was skeptical of ordering these shoes at first because I do have continual back pain, but not foot pain and I also have a narrow foot not wide. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the size medium shoes fit me.

For the first week I walked around my house with them on to give myself time to get use to them in the comfort of my home. They do elevate my arch more than I am use to, but I believe this to be a good thing! I live in flip flops so my feet are constantly flat and causing me severe back pain.

Once I started wearing these shoes out I was hooked! When I went back to my flip flops I instantly had back pain again. I absolutely am sold on this company! I love the fact that they are made here in America as I believe it’s so important to support our local economy.

I was drawn to the fact that the shoes are very stylish since I am 42 years young and desire a functional esthetically pleasing shoe. i am looking forward to purchasing my next shoe with Kuru and it will definitely be a flip flop!.

I was walking 8km on the daily, plus what I did just around the house. My fire was really painful and limited my walks to barely 0. 5km. With my recent Morton’s Neuroma diagnosis, I knew I needed proper foot wear.

I googled shoes specific for my diagnosis and was brought to the Kuru site. I found a pair I liked but hesitated on the price. My wonderful mom said she’d buy them and so I gladly accepted. To wear them around the house while breaking them in was wonderful! So much so, that I feared wearing them out because then I won’t have indoor shoes! This past weekend I finally wore them to the park with my kids.

They are oh so comfy and stylish. I want/need to get another pair for indoors and for outdoor summer weather. Kuru is great in that they make a variety of styles, one (or two or three) to suit even the pickiest of consumers.

My hesitation on ordering more, like I’ve said before, is the price. If they were more affordable, my rating would be 5 out of 5.

This is my second purchase of Kuru’s Atom style within a month. I had a great toe fusion in my right foot almost a year ago and left foot Achilles tendonitis with calcification at the insertion site and bone spurs.

Walking was extremely painful even with high end athletic shoes, ice, heat, and medication. I stumbled upon the Kuru site; this style has completely changed my life. It offers amazing cushioning, support, holds my heel in place and is high enough in the back to not cause pressure on my tendon; the mesh in front allows for the extra room I need.

In my opinion runs true to size with a wide toe box. I did not need a break in period. As a nurse and gym member, I am now able to participate in activities I enjoy, pain free!.

I rarely write reviews but I feel I need to for these shoes. I have severely flat feet. My arches are always swollen and my feet always hurt. I’ve had many different types of expensive prescription orthotics and they never seem to help any more than the store bought ones to be honest.

This shoe is the most comfortable one I’ve had. The pain in the top of my foot is almost gone and the plastic inserts give me just enough support. My arches aren’t aching like they use to. I work at a Y as a wellness coach so I have a closet full of various workout shoes but these are my favorite and the only ones I want to wear anymore.

I bought the black, then the turquoise and will probably be buying the pink. They have truly been a game changer for me! Please continue to make more colors! I am a 9 and usually size up to a 9. 5 for athletic shoes but I probably could have sized up to a 10 and used the inserts they give you.

If you’re in between, I would suggest doing that.

I’m a hot mess. Foot pain, pronation, back pain, scoliosis, hip pain, and of course rotten, old arthritic knees (guess mama was right – I spent way too much time on them in my youth). Pardon me dirty man – I’m talking about 42 years of skating, hockey, cheerleading, paintball, basketball, volleyball, jumping off roofs – don’t ask why.

it takes it’s toll. Anyway – 50’s creep up and it got to where I couldn’t take my poor puppy around the block for a walk without feeling excruciating pain somewhere, everywhere. He was not a happy puppy.

I hit rock bottom on the activity scale – so I bought a pair of Verve’s – and “oh boy” that hit the spot! Within a few weeks, I was wearing out my Great Dane – going for miles and running him crazy around the dog park – sometimes twice a day.

Now, my Dane’s worn out, and I can’t get enough. No sir – you dirty, dirty man – from exercising. (ick). I’ve since bought Tahoe, Coral and Naples. And they’re all great. So much better than the “bums” I used to get.

But Verve. my my my. will always hold a very, very special place in my heart. I’ll definitely being hitting up Verve again.

So I was a little wary at first of buying shoes online, but I have severe arthritis in my left knee from severe hemophilia A, and I’d dropped a local ortho shoe place because their quality just went to crap.

I am blown away by the quality of these shoes. Most shoes require a break-in period where your foot and the shoe have to learn to get along, these feel absolutely comfortable from the first moment that you put them on.

I can’t believe how cushiony it feels to walk in these, it literally feels like you’re walking on clouds! You need as much shock compression as you can get when your knee has no cartilage, and I’m sure it’s helped my back some too.

Frankly, anyone that’s on their feet for a long time would benefit from these. I even bought a pair for my brother (works in a warehouse, has back issues), and I know he loved them because as soon as he put them on he didn’t take them off, and forgot he was wearing them.

I can’t say enough. Buy these shoes.

This is a great casual shoe. I have wide feet and I still have wiggle room in these shoes. They are comfortable and provide good solid support. If you have a high arch it will not provide great arch support but I think it would still be enough support.

I planned on wearing them inside because I have tile floors throughout my house but I will probably end up wearing them out. I would definitely purchase again.

These are great, comfortable shoes. Great quality and very stylish for todays trends. I bought a pair that have no back as well for house shoes. These I use for lazy days out. Keep in mind that if you are going to wear socks with these, they fit as expected but, if you are going to wear these without socks, I would get a half size smaller as they are a bit loose without socks.

This also depends on how you like you shoes to fit. If you like them floppy loose, then order normal. If you like your shoes to fit normal, (not quite snug but close to snug) then go with the half size smaller.

Either that, or spray the top down with water and let them air dry. The fabrics will shrink a bit and feel a bit tighter.

Super comfy and I think very stylish in that deconstructed way. Comfy but not in a pillowy soft way like my new Adidas shower slides. The support is not like a wooden clog but could use a bit more cush….

That being said it is the only close toe shoe I can wear right now. NICE BIG TOE BOX. Was able to put additional insoles in. Also the insoles it came with remove easily it you just want ti go your own way….

OMG! I have never had a better online shoe purchase experience. I’ve tried several times to purchase shoes online and it’s been a huge drag. With these shoes, they were a fit right out of the box. I really loved how they didn’t dig into my ankle, as they were low cut enough.

Also where the tongue meets the top of my foot, it was not restrictive nor uncomfortable in the least. I sized up. 5. Normally I wear between an eight and 8 1/2 and I purchased an 8 1/2. The shoes are incredibly comfortable.

I do not have plantar fasciitis, but I often feel sore at the end of my shifts. I stand on my feet a lot as a chef. My lower back usually hurts by hour number five. Not with these-I am not tired and my back doesn’t hurt.

They give plenty of support and they actually look attractive! I bought the white shoes with the blue trim. I super highly recommend them for those people who stand on their feet for long periods of time.

I use these shoes for walking. Not on a flat surface, but on a county road that goes up and down. Also for a every day shoe. I ordered a 1/2 size down as instructed and wish I had kept the whole size instead.

I find that the end of my toe sometimes hits the end of my shoe when going down hill. The foot box is really spacy so my feet slide around a bit. But overall, I like the style and tread, doesn’t gather a lot of gravel in the tread.

The support is great.

I do have a pronation developed within a year. No shoes work. No sandals work. So I decided to give a try to my shoes I purchase at Hamnacher Schlemmer. Yesterday I went ( for the first time in a year) to the Gym and I walked 2 miles and.

NO PAIN ! All the contrary ! i walked, my back or my hip did not hurt and my pronation was directed to the right position ! I love my shoes ! Thanks !.

This was the fourth pair of Therafit shoes I have purchased and have been satisfied with my previous purchases. However, this pair of shoes are extremely painful to wear and I have had to shelf this $150 pair of shoes.

The toe bed is very narrow and tight for my feet, and I was unable to even wiggle my toes while wearing them. Unfortunately, I had to wear them out on my daily walk before discovering the discomfort, so was unable to return.

Very disappointed.

At this point I own no bikinis other than tomcat tops, triangle tops and brazil bottoms. This suit is so practical and cute. There is no padding in Jolyn suits so if you’re afraid of people knowing you have nipples, maybe stay away from plain colors and go for the patterned tops.

These things are indestructible and the mango top looks so cute paired with dragonfruit bottoms!.

At first I didn’t like them because I had another shoe that made my feet hurt and when I got these it made it worse but as I kept wearing them I knew they were special shoes like they were meant for my feet because I have flat feet.

The way that the shoe is made feels like layers of hills. I know that sounds weird but I knew it was designed to help, so I gave it a shot to wear them. Everyone loves the look of the shoe and so do I.

It’s freshen style of flowers it’s pretty. I’m thinking of buying another pair of shoes and hoping that I will find some that will stop the pain I have in my toes. I can’t blame the shoe for causing the pain I already got from another pair of shoes , so that is why I was given the shoes a try.

🙂 Thank you.

The customer service at Kuru is very good, so far. They are helpful and willing to listen. As for the shoe, I feel the shoe is decently comfortable. I am not a big fan of the thick cloth material that is under the insole of the shoe.

The thick cloth material always makes it feel as though there is something stuck in the shoe. After a hand full of outings that feeling has mostly gone away. What I can’t get over is the squeaking of both shoes.

The first pair I had squeaked whether I had the insoles in or not. I spoke with customer service, explained the issue and they sent me a new pair right away. Like I said “very good customer service so far.

” I now have my second pair and unfortunately the squeak is back. This time the squeak goes away if I remove the insole. However, as soon as my feet warm up in the shoes they both squeak with every step.

I plan to talk with customer service again on this issue. I will be asking for my money back this time. My guess is that there is a design flaw in the shoe, which is unfortunate because I really liked the design.

I was really into this shoe until both pairs I got squeaked with every step.

I was having arch, heal, leg and hip pain. I’ve been wearing the NB shoe for years. I work on concrete in the factory 8-12 hrs a day and it was pretty hard getting out of the car after the hour drive home.

I had to do something and I decided to try this shoe to see if it would ease my discomfort before spending a fortune at the podiatrist, I am here to tell you I am glad I made this purchase. The shoe is well made, looks good and feels great.

It took about 2 weeks for my pain to be almost completely gone. I can not tell you if my other shoe was sized wrong, not as well made or what, but I can tell you for sure that I am glad I made the purchase.

I wear a 10. 5 US normally. I can tell you that the 10. 5 wide shoe I purchased is a snug fit. You will not be able to add additional supports. I hope this review is helpful in your decision.

After running a marathon last year, I developed pretty bad plantar fasciitis. I had been wearing a pair of old running shoes as my daily shoe, but they were getting worn down and so I started looking for an alternative daily shoe that would hold up to active, outdoor wear and be helpful for my plantar fasciitis pain.

I found Kuru through research, and decided to purchase a pair of the Chicane Mesh Plantar Fasciitis Shoes in Black/Red. I typically do not buy shoes online that I’ve already been wearing or tried on somewhere else, but based on my research and reviews I decided to take the chance, and I’m very glad I did.

I did follow the recommended break-in period by Kuru, wearing them about 3 hours per day for a week or so before wearing them full time. I’ve now been wearing them as my full time daily shoe, and they are very comforting for my plantar fasciitis pain.

They have a great cushion, and good arch support. They soles are heavier than I was used to since I had been wearing running shoes, but I got used to that pretty quickly. The primary drawback is that the heel of the shoe is low and looser than I prefer.

I have to tie them quite tightly for the heel not to slip, which in turn gets uncomfortable on the tops of my feet after wearing them for a while. Otherwise, I feel good about the purchase and would recommend them for someone looking for a solid daily use shoe that helps with plantar fasciitis pain.

This is my 4th and 5th pair of shoes from APEX. They are good solid shoes that gets the job done for me. I am 87 now so I have the expectation of wearing these shoes out. Time will tell if I will need to buy some more.

A good nice looking substantial shoe! Keep up the good Quality. Jim Brown.

The model I have from 2017 is more rounded around the toes. It is a much more natural form. This one is more square-ish and symetrical (the front sole). Another thing is my older pair is type Wide, while I now got the X-WIDE, yet both have the same width (sole).

I should have really ordered the XX-WIDE if I knew about the change of sizing.

2nd pair for my 80 plus Dad who is still very active. He is pleased with comfort and the grip. He walks about at times doing business and still drives. He’s happy and so am I. Quality products cost a little more, but certainly worth the cost for comfort.

Product order and delivery was spot on thanks!.

Was not sure of fit as first time purchase of Vonic. Great fit and well made. First time I wore them several compliments. Never had that before.

I purchased total of 7 pairs of Vionic. Bought this for my husband, size 9, inside says 9. But it was so big with a whole inch extra, which must be wrongly labelled. My request for replacement was declined.

Bought these for my son and he said “Wow these are the most comfortable sneakers he has ever worn. From now on I will buy only Vionics”

Save your money. My shoes arrived in a box that was too small, so it was all busted up. One shoe had glue drippings on the side and another had a ‘hunk’ of sticky glue in the toe. These shoes are very poorly made and uncomfortable, and their customer service is virtually nonexistent.

Took me days to reach someone on the phone. Facebook messenger has someone working, but they can’t really help with returns. It was not a good experience. If you have to return them (which I did) they charge $6.

95 for a ‘re-stocking’ fee. NO other shoe company does that.

They seem ok, comfortable but I am concerned about how long they will last. I tend to walk hard which results in an impression in the insoles of my shoes, which then becomes painful to me. Plus the outsoles are slippery on wet concrete.

The length and width were perfect, the style very nice, the little shiny toe decoration very cute. They looked comfortable, potentially a great style to wear with jeans. However, the instep was very uncomfortably tight and the toe box too short (lacked height).

These shoes basically strangled my foot. The foot bed was comfortable, had good arch support but the only way they could fit was to remove the the insert, which removed the very benefit of buying a supportive shoe.

The overall tightness was too much and I had to send them back.

I have been wearing the vionics Plantar Fasciitis Orthopedic Shoes for approximately 5 years now. I had 4 pairs and just purchased a 5th pair. I wear them essentially every where. Cutting the grass with a power push mower, exercising rowing, biking and walking, for casual wear going to the grocery , on social occasions etc.

I found their support to be superior to any other products. I have all the original shoes but even though I have definitely put many miles on the shoes. The most recent purchase is to soon replace the shoes worn for exercising.

My one critical comment about a very well constructed supportive shoe is the length of the shoe laces. They are too long and represent a tripping threat. That is the reason why I can’t give them a five star rating.

I purchased this shoe in white a few years back for my husband who suffers from flat feet and plantar fasciitis. I ordered a half size up as recommended and the shoes fit perfectly. My husband loved the fit and was able to spend all day on his feet at work without pain or discomfort.

The shoes were starting to show their age from daily wear, so I ordered a new pair, this time in black. Same shoe, same size, different color. The black shoes were so tight my husband couldn’t even get his foot in the shoe.

We returned the black shoes and reordered in white. Same shoe, same size, perfect fit.

Shoes fit well, improve my posture, reduced substantially the soreness in the joint of one of my feet that has progressive arthritis,. and was at a reasonable cost for the pair of shoes. This is the third pair of shoes purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer over the past number of years that I have been very pleased with their quality, wearability, fit and appearance.

These are great, comfortable shoes. Great quality and very stylish for todays trends. I bought a pair that have no back as well for house shoes. These I use for lazy days out. Keep in mind that if you are going to wear socks with these, they fit as expected but, if you are going to wear these without socks, I would get a half size smaller as they are a bit loose without socks.

This also depends on how you like you shoes to fit. If you like them floppy loose, then order normal. If you like your shoes to fit normal, (not quite snug but close to snug) then go with the half size smaller.

Either that, or spray the top down with water and let them air dry. The fabrics will shrink a bit and feel a bit tighter.

The arch support is minimal. It’s basically just a slight bump that sticks up in the middle of the shoe. Can take some getting used to, but they are fairly comfortable once you do. Definitely better than being barefoot if you have plantar fasciitis.

They are very lightweight and good to wear in the warmer weather. The soles are solid and can be worn outdoors without worrying about stepping on a rock. I wish they had more arch support, but overall I’m pleased with the shoes and wear them often.

Really upset with my podiatrist. I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet. He fitted me with some shoes and custom orthotics. My foot was supported but still had pain In my feet. I put these on and the pain was reduced significantly.

I was able to walk with so much less pain. I found it hard to believe that a generic orthopedic shoe was night and day better than my custom orthotics. I’d recommend these for anybody to get more support.

I just they hold up well.
