I purchased this sneakers when looking for a super comfortable pair to wear in Paris for my aging feet. I loved the orthopedic insoles that Vionic uses, but this pair comes up high on the heel. With my abnormally narrow heels, they gave me blisters. This happened to me with my adidas Original sneakers as well, so I was really bummed. I did wear these for 2 weeks to try to break them in, but it didn’t work. If you have normal heels, these would probably be great.
