Is the Vionic 23Walk Classic good for plantar fasciitis?

Many owners with plantar fasciitis say the firm arch support in the removable footbed eases their heel pain. It is not a cure, and people with severe cases should check with a podiatrist.

Does it run true to size?

Most buyers say it fits true to size, and the wide width gives extra room. If you wear thick socks or use your own inserts, consider the wide fit.

Can I use my own orthotics in it?

Yes. The orthotic footbed is removable, so custom inserts can go in its place. The shoe is built with support in mind, so a bulky insert may feel tight.

How does it compare with the original 23Walk?

The Classic keeps the same supportive platform and removable footbed, with a mesh and leather upper. Riders who want a softer feel may prefer cushioned walking shoes instead.

Is it good for all-day standing?

Owners who work long shifts on hard floors report it stays comfortable. The firm support suits standing better than a soft, squishy sole.

What is the heel height?

The heel is listed at 4.5 inches with a 1.75-inch platform, which is tall for a walking shoe. Some walkers notice the height and prefer a flatter shoe.
