Customer Reviews VIONIC Dr. Weil with Orthaheel® Technology Rhythm Walker

Nice looking shoes, not as bulky as the walker. Unlike other Ultraheel shoes, these can be ordered in 1/2 sizes. I ordered my normal size, but they were very tight both in length and width. They didn't have as much arch support as the walkers, so I didn't order a size bigger. The arch support in these is equal to the Mary Janes, which isn't enough for my plantar fasciitis.

This shoe was a half size smaller than the Orthheel sandals. There was no way to add a pair of sock, even thin ones.

I am so excited about this shoe! I love Orthaheel and have been waiting anxiously for a streamline sneaker that is both functional and fashionable. Orthaheel has hit the nail on the head with the Dr. Weil Orthaheel Rhythm Walker! I was pleasantly surprised that the dark grey has a purple hue; this is a great shoe with a feminine touch. The shoe feels orthopedic but doesn't look it!

I ordered the shoe because I liked the combination of the mesh style and good arch support. However, it was too narrow and didn't have enough room for my toes and high arch. The regular Orthaheel Walker athletic shoe is too bulky in the toe area and this particular shoe is too narrow for me. I wish there was something in the middle.

I get compliments on these all the time! They have the most arch support of any sneaker I've ever worn. I'm on my feet for my job and walk around a lot. My knees don't bother me anymore and I believe what Dr. Weil has done; aligned the foot in it's proper position. I'm a Physical Therapist and know how important this is. So, if you over-pronate (your ankles fall in), I recommend trying this shoe. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose, especially since shipping is free! Thanks, Zappos! That's what keeps me coming back for more.

Wanted these to work and seemed perfect for my narrow, high arched feet. Tried to wear them for 3 days and they caused pain after each wearing. They seem cheap...I should not have to break in a pair of walking shoes at this price. Dr. Weil needs to skip the Zen stuff and make some quality shoes.

This is the second pair of Rhythm Walkers I have bought, the first time in black and now in white. They are so comfortable and supportive, and I have a very hard time finding a comfortable fit. Ordering a half size larger than my usual size worked great.

I had knee surgery 4 months ago so needed some good supporting shoes. These fit the bill perfectly. They look really nice too! Loved them so much I bought a second pair in a different color. GREAT SNEAKERS!

Compared to other Orthaheel shoes I have. They are not as wide, I have a narrow to medium width foot, and they were perfect. In other Orthaheel styles, I have to downsize a whole size, in this one, a half size. The arches support is excellent. The top of the shoe is a flexible fabric like upper, which allow all my foot lumps and bumps to mold the shoe comfortably! An added bonus is they look great and make my size 10 foot look smaller! Thanks Zappos for your easy ordering process and fantastic return policy!

I had ordered my regular size, 7 1/2, it was entirely too tight, then I ordered an size 8, it is also too small and tight.

These are nice shoes, with good arch support, and a nice padded heel. They are not as heavy and bulky as most supportive walking shoes. They run very small! I usually wear a 7½, but the 8 was small. I am returning them.

I ordered these in my usual size. I wear a half size smaller in the orthaheel Mary Jane. These were too small in my usual size but I cannot order a half size larger because my size is 10.5 and they don't make it in this size for some reason. If it runs this small they should make it in larger sizes. I wrote Dr. Weil on his site two times about this, because the shoe itself is comfortable just tight. I received no answer to the email. I had to send these back.

I have had bought 3 pairs of Orthoheel walkers over the years and my my last purchase has a thin Styrofoam sole. The shoe quality has declined and this recent purchase is my last.

I love these shoes! I have plantar issues and they work like a charm. I did listen to others who said they ran small and ordered the next half size up. That was a smart move!

These shoes are amazing for plantar fasciitis! They are the only walking shoes that I can wear. I am in much less pain now.

I have a heel spur. I could not walk without pain. I bought Vionic with Orthaheel - I am walking pain-free. It was a wonderful purchase for me. I bought a half size larger the my usual and it was a perfect fit.

This is my second pair of these shoes...I have a super high arch and plantar fasciitis, so I am delighted to find Orthaheel. I always buy 1/2 size larger in a walking/gym shoe and these are no exception...I love the gray color as it has a slight purple tone. They not only feel good but look good too.

The sneakers are great! Good structure & stability. Very good arch support. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and wore these shoes for 10-12 hours a day walking through Disney parks and me feet barely felt tired at the end of the day. Zappos customer service can't be beat with shipping speeds and returns.

This walking shoe has been a lifesaver for me. Had very expensive orthotics custom made in spring and still in some pain. Can walk in these shoes without the orthotics and be on my feet a lot and no pain, such great feeling! I also bought the Orthaheel shoe style Kate and wear it for dress wear. Happy feet!

If you have pronated feet, as I do, you will be amazed how comfortable this sneaker is. The Orthaheel line re-aligns your foot to be in a natural position, and as such, is perfect for me. I can walk much longer in this sneaker without foot fatigue. I love it.

Love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and the pain went away immediately! I wear them every day and walk 3-5 miles per day. I am also on my feet for 8 hours 5 days a week as a surgical nurse.

I have been wearing orthotics for 12 years until I started wearing these Orthaheel sneakers and my feet with heel and bone spurs feel GREAT! I normally wear a 5 1/2 wide, the 6 fits perfectly

I am so pleased that I have finally found a walking shoe that has the support I need. I have less pain in my feet, knees, and back since wearing the rhythm walkers. Not to mention that they don't look like an orthotic shoe. Thank you!

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable. I now have two pairs--white ones and black ones! Also enjoy Zappos great service. I highly recommend both the shoes and Zappos!
