Vionic Uptown Platform Sneaker

I purchased these about a month ago to wear when I wanted a nicer sneaker other than my workout pair. They are very comfortable & stylish. They are not meant to be worn 10 hrs per day.

These work well for me. As Ive gotten "older" I find soft cushion shoes work much better for my feet then firm soles. Might need to stock up with another color!

I bought these shoes just before my two week trip to Europe. The silver on the heel has worn off. I’m very frustrated that I spent the money I did for comfortable shoes, and now they’re already worn. I did not wear the shoes every day, nor did I wear them in the rain.

Had to have a second color! Love the soft brown. Perfect to wear with dresses or skirts.

Uptown is my go to for a more stylish look. Not a workout fit. But looks great just like the loaf.

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable from day one, supportive and cushioned, packs flat for travel, good grip, stylish. I bought these shoes for a long trip through Europe, and they ended up being one of the best travel purchases I made. They are incredibly lightweight, soft around the feet, required no break-in period, and pack almost flat in a suitcase. I loved how supportive and cushioned they felt during long days walking on cobblestone streets, gravel, and even slippery marble surfaces in Greece, where the grip on the soles turned out to be an unexpected bonus. The soft silver color also made them feel a little more polished than regular sneakers, and despite paying full price, I feel they were absolutely worth it.

These were one of the first pairs I bought and I love them. I’ve been waiting to buy another color and they finally arrived!

I have been dealing with insertional Achilles tendinitis on both sides for two months now. The first week I went to the mall on the hunt for vionics because I was aware of their good reputation for foot pain. What I like about this sneaker is that the back is exceptionally soft and does not irritate my Achilles in most positions. It still can depending on how far out I have my feet in front of me, but it’s not nearly as bad as other shoes. The Winnie shoes from bionic were similar, but had a more more rigid back. Thanks to these shoes and PT I’ve been healing slowly but surely to the point where I stupidly walked up a steep hill and really upset my nerves. I wasn’t able to walk in my house shoes that had been fine without severe nerve pain going up to my knee, but wearing these has eliminated most of the pain as long as I’m not bending over or lifting heavy items. The material does feel semi flimsy (I have the gold pair), but I love them so much that I’m seriously considering getting them in at least one more color so that I can confidently walk and continue to heal.
