I hadn't heard of VIONIC until a few weeks back. Founded by Philip Vasyli who is a podiatrist, VIONIC make a stylish range of shoes, sandals, and boots using their award-winning FMT Technology orthotics. According to their website, a clinical study showed that VIONIC's sandals effectively alleviate non-traumatic, moderate heel pain. So, essentially their footwear is a combination of comfort and style with each of their shoes/boots being made with the right materials and right design.
I have 'fallen arches', that is when I stand my feet are flat on the ground. There is no arch at all. That is one of the reasons I do not wear footwear with heels. I find them highly uncomfortable. My footwear choice has always been comfortable shoes with low heels. Earlier I used to use shoe insoles to support my feet but I found even them uncomfortable and in the last few years, walking shoes/boots (which have an in-built support) are what I mostly wear.
I have been using the VIONIC Torri high-top trainers for a few weeks now and boy oh boy, they are extremely comfortable and offer great support. Like I mentioned in the beginning of the post, the shoes have the orthotic technology built right inside them. This FMT Technology helps with proper alignment and offers excellent support (in all the right places) to the feet thus ensuring comfort when walking. And all this without compromising on the style factor. As you can see from the photos, the sneakers are super stylish! I really like them. Back in the 2000s when I had first been advised about my flat feet condition, I had customised footwear made for myself - with arch-support insoles and those shoes were so drab and bulky. Not surprisingly I rarely wore them. How I wish I had found something like VIONIC back then! Anyways, I am so glad I have been introduced to this brand now.
This is the first pair I have tried from VIONIC and I am in love with the comfort they offer. And I have zero hesitation in recommending them to you. Whether you have flat feet like me or are simply looking for comfortable shoes that offer support and stability, you should check them out.

Tip: There is no need for breaking in the shoes, they are ready to go from day one. But it is recommended that you wear the new footwear for just a couple of hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the orthotic comfort and support. I wore then for a hour for the first 2-3 days and by then my feet were used to the shoes and it was completely comfortable.
