Uptown Willa Slip-On Sneaker (Women)

The right fit like a glove, but the left missed the mark. The left shoe was slightly wider, but not enough to send it back. The big issue was the back at the achilles (see pic). Walking around the house for a bit proved that this quality error would eventually lead to a blister. A shame because it felt like a good supportive basic flat for work.

These slip on shoes/sneakers are a bit pricey, even on sale. However, I refuse to waste time trying to "break in" shoes that may never be comfortable. I purchased these on sale, in my regular size and they fit perfectly and are comfy right out of the box. I should say what really convinced me to purchase them is the beautiful teal color (my favorite).

I bought these to replace a similar pair I bought a few years ago. These have the legendary Vionic arch support, but don’t come close to the shoes they were supposed to replace. These have a very soft, floppy back heel. PThis means I can’t just slip them on. I have to actually grab the tab on the back to pull them on. And the floppy heel makes my socks shift and bunch up on the back of my foot. I have not yet worn these for a long walk, but I’m pretty sure I’ll end up with blisters from the socks shifting and rubbing.

This is not my first pair of Vionics. I decided to add this to my collection too. My first pair of Vionics was a pair of slippers. They were more than I usually spent on slippers but turned out to be well worth it. This pair of sneakers are so comfortable and look so good on! I got the black suede and they go with everything.
