I love Vionic. I have had planters flasciitis so bad that I had to have six $125 treatments of sonic waves to finally get rid of it. It was my third time getting planters fasciitis and needing to go to a doctor for help getting rid of it. The doc said to wear very supportive shoes and my mom whose also susceptible to this swears by birkenstocks but my job won't let me wear those so I found these. I have 4 pairs of vionic and I love them. Plus they are cheaper than birkenstocks.
