Shoppers Walk 10K Steps In These ‘Light As a Feather’ Shoes from an Oprah-Worn Brand

They’re also podiatrist-approved.

I opt for comfortable footwear whenever possible, and given that I live in a walkable city , that’s pretty much all the time. I always need a reliable pair that won’t cause discomfort, soreness, or blisters often turning to cushy sneakers to give my feet a break. So when I heard that the 23Walk 2.0 sneakers from Oprah-loved Vionic have the approval of podiatrists , I was thoroughly intrigued.

These dad-like sneakers are the revamped version of the brand’s popular 23Walk shoes . They’re designed with a soft yet firm foam footbed that has ample arch support and absorbs impact to reduce the stress on your feet, ankles, and joints. For additional comfort, its breathable mesh liner wicks away moisture and minimizes friction against the skin.

And those not aren’t the only details that make these comfy sneakers ideal for all-day wear: The 23Walk 2.0 sneakers feature a deep heel cup which stabilizes the foot, a rubber sole which offers great traction, and flexibility in the front which allows for easier movement. Compared to the original version , this new style is upgraded with more shock-absorbing benefits in its cushioned midsole, which further reduce pressure on the feet and elevate them for smoother heel-to-toe transitions.

Given these benefits, it’s clear why these casual sneakers are fan-favorites. According to reviewers, this new design is just as comfortable and supportive as the original version.

“I can go walking long distances without any pain,” said a reviewer, who added that the shoes offer “so much support” and are as “light as a feather.” A second user agreed that they helped with their plantar fasciitis upon standing on cement floor for eight hours, while another added that “10,000 [steps] in, these shoes were a breeze.” Other customers shared that the footwear is “comfortable right out of the box” and feels like “walking on air.” Keep in mind, though, a few shoppers flagged that they tend to run big.

Give relief to your tired feet with these supportive, podiatrist-approved sneakers. Below, shop more colors of the Vionic 23Walk 2.0 Sneakers for $130.
