Love these shoes
I have pretty finicky feet and well, buying shoes on line can be a little bit of a gamble. I normally wear a 8.5 in my running/gym shoes, sizing up a half size. After reading reviews, I ordered these in an 8, my usual size. I have a slightly narrow foot, prefer a wider toe box, and have a slightly narrow heel. These fit great and are very comfortable right away. I also love the Driftwood. I am sort of transitioning my wardrobe to a little less black and more softer colors. I really like these very much!

What happened to Vionic’s quality???
Vionics have really gone downhill in the past two years. I’ve been wearing vionic shoes for at least 10 years. Every pair I have ordered in the past two years have felt like I’ve received men’s shoes instead of women’s. The heel area is too wide. The arch area is very wide and they’re way too long. What a shame these used to be well-made shoes
Disappointed

Blue clouds from heaven
Love love theses shoes. My first, but definitely not my last, Vionics. They are the type of shoe you put on and IMMEDIATELY know they are going to be perfection. So comfortable and well sized that I could wear them a full day the first time I wore them and not a blister to be seen. Plus I got compliments on the cute blue color!

Needs cushioning
This sneaker is cute. I thought I was buying the city sneaker but ordered this by mistake. I kept them, but I would not recommend walking for hours in these. There are somewhat thin with no cushioning.

Slightly long and wide
Runs slightly long and wide but I could wear with athletic socks so I decided to keep them. Haven’t worn them much yet so can’t give an opinion on how they will be over time. Have a more stylish look than typical athletic shoes.
