I developed arch pain after years of teaching in cute cheap shoes with no support. The pain finally went away after a few months wearing Clarkes sandals. Then I wore the cute cheap ones, and in one day, ruined all the healing I had done. A friend recommended vionics, and I am in love! I was resigned to wearing old lady shoes or sneakers, but no more! These are so cute, and feel like they are molded to my foot shape. These run large-Im a 6 in a sandal, and the 5 fits me perfectly.
Give these a try if you're looking for great support. Some supportive shoes weren't for me- the arch was off placed for my foot, or too high or too hard. These are just right, and Im replacing all my cheap cute shoes with these (expensive, but necessary) shoes!
