I bought this and another Vionic shoe in the same order - these are the first pairs of Vionic shoes I have ever purchased. I have RA and have developed pain in my feet that feels (from what I read) like plantar fasciitis. I have a ton of shoes in my closet, but I pay for wearing them with foot pain. I have been searching for comfortable shoes that are at least half-way stylish and don't look like orthopedic shoes. When they first arrived, I tried them and they were so tight I could barely get my foot in. I was going to return them, but then missed the return deadline.... A few days later I thought I would try them again with a thinner sock. (I love thicker ankle socks versus the thinner kind!) I did and this time my foot went in way easier, which shouldn't surprise me. I wore them yesterday to an appointment and for the rest of the day of carting my kids around, dinner at a restaurant, etc. Full disclosure - my foot is slightly wide, but not wide enough to wear wide shoes so finding shoes that fit well can be difficult. My only real complaint is the toe box. It's a little snug. I'm hoping with wear this will stretch out a little, but I will still wear them if they don't. I do like the look of them and will wear them with jeans or casual pants.
