This was my first pair of Vionic shoes, and it will be my last. These shoes are very comfortable, but I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the craftsmanship and materials used to make the shoes. They say to wear them a few hours at a time before you wear them all day for your feet to adjust to the arch support. After wearing them for a total of 2 hours, I noticed that there were cracks and creases along the sides, but they were comfortable, so I decided to test out a full day of wear. I noticed that I could be on my feel longer without them hurting, but I also noticed more cracks and creases on the shoes. I bought these primarily to wear to work, but I don't feel like they are work presentable any more. I am planning to keep these since they are comfortable, but I will not be buying any more Vionic shoes. For the price, they were definitely not worth it. The first picture I posted was after 2 hours of wear. The other are after about 20 hours. It looks like I will eventually have to glue the straps back to the sides.
