Shoes

[magicmoodz]

While Vionic thongs might not be a podiatrist's recommendation, they do have a place in my wardrobe.  I feel they make great beach shoes.  They are the only shoes I own that aren't leather (well, except for rain boots) which makes them fine for "wet" situations and they do provide arch support for a more comfortable walking experience.  

I am confident the reason they are featured so often is because QVC has a lucrative contract with Vionic.

@millieshops I've had the same experience with New Balance.  Fitted at store,felt good there.  Brought that pair back...second pair same thing.  Tried and tried with them. Finally donated them..expensive lesson.  $ don't necessarily make the shoe good.

For anyone with plantar fasciitis, they are a godsend. I no longer own a pair of shoes that aren't Vionics. They are the only thing that allows me to walk without pain.  They're on frequently because they sell very, very well - otherwise, they wouldn't be on so often.

The clark gal is there almost every week,expensive also.I have a few pairs of clarks,but lately the prices tell me don't buy.

I agree they are featured very often so most likely either they have a contract with QVC or they are a top seller (or both)!  I, however, cannot wear them because I can't stand a negative heel bed!! Birkenstocks also do not work for me. I had serious PF for a very long time and after several steriod injections, meds, and orthodics I got over it. I now wear mostly Mephistos sandals, Naot and some Earth brands. Those all have mostly hard footbeds and arches. In the winter for everyday I do wear tennis shoes but only with my othodics. I wish I didn't have to spend so much on shoes but they keep my feet healthy. To me negative heel beds are the worst. I did try wearing the Vionics for short periods at first to attempt to get feet/legs used to negative heel but gave up and returned them.

Vionics do NOT have negative heels/footbeds - none. They never have. Neither do Birkenstocks. EARTH Brands, which you mention you wear, DO often have negative footbeds.

Vionics are a great product line. They have helped me quite a lot for stabilizing, and perhaps, realigning my body from head to toe!

I'm sick of the dotted line on the ankle and leg.  Seriously?  Well, I guess it worked out for StaceyAnn.

I wonder if I got bombarded with Vionic emails from them because I used to buy Birkenstock from them? I haven't bought shoes here since they quit carrying Birkis. I have been buying more locally than online so I don't have to pay $9.95 to try it on with Qvc.
