Okay, so I've been battling plantar fasciitis for YEARS, and let me tell you—these sneakers? GAME CHANGER. The arch support is *chef's kiss* perfect for my high arches. No more limping after grocery runs!
I own these in both cream and black (normal size fits great with medium socks). The cream color is such a chic alternative to basic white sneakers. If they release a blue pair? Take my money, Vionic!
Compared to my cute-but-useless slip-ons, these actually PREVENT pain. The laces let me adjust tightness, and the orthotic insert feels like walking on clouds. Downside? My other shoes are now collecting dust.
Bonus: Wore them on a 10k-step day in Rome—zero foot protests! They’re lightweight yet sturdy, and somehow make orthopedic support look stylish with dresses. 10/10 would recommend to fellow foot-pain warriors.
(PS: Ignore the rare negative reviews—maybe they got defective pairs? For me, these are holy grail status.)
