Here is a little blurb about these new shoes, that I had no idea about:
The Orthaheel
Technology built into every pair of Vionic shoes and sandals (and that was
previously built into Orthaheel and Dr. Weil Integrative Footwear) has been
truly life changing for many. It not only alleviates foot, back and leg pain,
but also prevents it. One of the most notable conditions Orthaheel Technology
relieves is plantar fasciitis. The often debilitating foot pain associated
with plantar fasciitis affects people of all ages and athletic conditions - and
Vionic with Orthaheel Technology has these sufferers regain their walking lives
without pain!
I ordered the Catarina model in a size 9, purple color. I opened them up and they were so pretty! Much nicer than the picture.
We were on our way out so I thought I'd wear them to the night market with the kids. Lots of walking and standing involved, so a good test. They were very comfortable when I slipped them on; nice cushioning in the heel unlike my other wedges.
By the end of the evening they were still feeling good, but my feet were getting a little swollen from the heat.
I wore them again the next night Salsa dancing (for 3 hours!) and I had a great time. No worries! I saw some of the other ladies dancing in high wedges and was so glad I had on my comfortable sandals instead.
These shoes are super versatile and stylish; I wore them with a dress and capris, around the grocery store and and on the dance floor.
*I received these shoes as a gift from Vionic; I did not pay of them.
