These shoes hurt my feet and ankles so badly. Some of the sandals are more comfortable! For a “comfort shoe”, these totally suck. I have had to insert the memory foam cushion insole under the vionic “support” insole and then the green Spenco cushion on top to make these shoes less painful. None of the vionic shoes (that I have) have any cushion on the top of the shoe so now I am experiencing extreme pain at the top of the foot as well. How can such a hard shoe be a comfort shoe? It can’t in my opinion. I am very disappointed. I think the shoe is cute and that is why I rated it a two. It would need more arch support and comfort to get a five star. If you are looking for a shoe you can walk in, I suggest you get the insole and put it in a new balance walker; however, the arch support will still be limited. Best overall advice, get custom orthotics that can fit any shoe type! Do yourself more than a favor, do yourself a miracle!
