Hi @cheriere I used to be a big Vionics fan, but they don't seem to have more fashionable shoes anymore. I started having problems with the sizing, and stopped buying them. They were too narrow in the front, but so wide in the back my feet came out of them. And all the styles in wide I saw were sneakerlike anyway, which I was not looking for. Skechers work for me for that.
My feet are wider in the front and regular in the back, so I have a hard time finding shoes that have wide enough toe boxes, but don't come out of my feet.
The Miz Mooz with their good backs are perfect for my feet. The boots don't come off, and the bootie like shoes/sandals are perfect. I probably have dozen of styles.
I don't think they are orthotic shoes (as Vionic claims), but they are comfortable enough for me, leather inside and out, I think, so they are nice. I can walk all day wearing their closed styles. But they are not cushy, if you want cushioning. Not hard either. Just good beautiful soft quality leather. The only bad pair I had was a TSV sandal, the front band was so stiff that it felt like it was cutting my toes. Had to send them back. I think QVC often cuts corners on TSVs, so maybe they used a different manufacturer.
Give them a try if you see a style you like!
@KingstonMom The Miz Mooz wide fit me fine, I have dozens of them but love to walk in them, so need more! I don't think the regular will work because the wide fit.
I'll be honest, I've had the same problem with Vionics the last three pairs I've bought with the exception of the TSV recovery sandal. Of course, it's not very fashionable lol.
It sounds as though our feet are shaped the same because I have that same problem with lots of shoes myself. My heel always feels loose or wants to come out, but I have a wider forefoot.
I do have a high arch. That's the only thing I really do like about the Vionics. When I can find a pair that fits right, it does support my arches. But, like you said, most designs are athletic shoes. Those that aren't are the ones I find to be hit or miss big time.
Im gonna look through the Q's Miz Mooz inventory and see if I can find something I like. I tend to wear mules and slip on styles.
I really do appreciate your taking the time to really explain the fit. I feel a lot better knowing how similar our feet are lol. I'll let you know what I get.💝🌸
Oh yeah, I did buy a pair of Vionic Slides today in patent leather. They were only $65.00. I posted about them. Hopefully , I won't have to return them. They look like they'd make cute slippers. That's what I got them for lol. But they're pretty enough to wear casually. I got the silver.😃
