This is the third time I'm buying this shoe.

I have back issues, and Vionic was on the list of suggested brands that a doctor gave me. I've brought these shoes all over the world for travel and work, and have found them to be reliable, comfortable, and stylish. They do wear down significantly with use, and I've had to replace them kind of often - the first was after 4 months of vigorous use, and the second was after 10 months of somewhat regular use.

You can tell that they wear down because the arch support wears, and the shoe just doesn't have as much form as they do when you first buy them.
