text: I'm just leaving the podiatrist due to exterme arch pain that I suspected was caused by these sandals. She confirmed that the Vionics caused it! While they are nice for people w high arches they are TERRIBLE for people with flat feet and or pronating ankles. If you have either of these it puts your fasciitis right against a VERY rigid high arch. This is what caused my injury.<br /><br />I've been icing and wearing supportive gym shoes for a week or so and now I need to continue AND take a RX anti-inflammatory.<br /><br />Alright orthaheels advertises it corrects formation my doctor said the only way to do this and to stop pronation is to cup the heel, which cannot be done in a sandal.<br /><br />Flat footers and pronators - PLEASE don't buy I don't want you to feel my literal pain. Man does it hurt!
