I have plantar fasciitis and have been wanting some dress shoes that I can enjoy wearing. These red pumps are so pretty and had a terrific price for Vionic shoes! I was pleased with how they were packaged and how they looked, but they're just not made to help my feet in all the places they need help. I bought these gel things that fit in the bottom of the shoe and up the back. They lifted my feet enough that the heel cup wasn't too deep anymore and felt comfortable. I'm still going to have to put some gel pads where the ball of the foot hits to make them wearable for me. I wore them around in the house for a little while but I haven't worn them out anywhere yet.My normal footwear is all Alegria brand, so I don't need a "break in" period for my feet to get used to good insoles for proper feet alignment. Alegria just doesn't make shoes that look like normal dress shoes, so that's why I've ventured out to Vionic. Some of the Vionic shoes work great for me but this pair of dress shoes has to have some inserts to be right for my feet.
