City Walk Platform Sneaker (Women)

I purchased 2 of the size 5 CityWalk sneaker in black and white leather. Unfortunately, there’s a flaw in the design of this shoe. In each pair, the width and length of the shoe is adequate. However, the amount of leather they allowed across the base of toes of the shoe was cut short. So it’s squashes your foot downward creating tension across the top of the foot. As this area is below the adjustable laces there’s no relief. Aesthetically the shoe is pleasing; in real life use,it’s unbearable. This is the only vionic shoe I have an issue with. I can only surmise they were attempting to save money by taking away one to 2 cm of leather that would’ve made a world of difference. I do not have any bunions or foot deformities/ injuries.
