Your Feet's BFF: Vionic

As a Pisces native, I am often told by my horoscope that I should be taking care of my feet... and more often than not, this caveat has held true! As a lifestyle editor, we are faced with multi-tasking that needs the support of the right footwear. It's been a challenge to find shoes that are right for the long hours of home and design shoots that I can wear to events after. With Vionic's Onyx Vesta, which I've had for a little more than a month now, I have found the shoe that my feet can comfortably live in for days! It's three-zone comfort feature has made my feet feel just fine even after hours of standing. My feet feel supported, cushioned, and my toes feel unencumbered. I have even walked on sloped terrains with it, with my feet feeling just like they are in comfortable sneakers, perhaps owing to the even weight distribution that the shoe design promises. The stylish designs also make Vionic a good choice for a wide variety of wardrobe options. There are options for dressed up occasions, as well as casual ones. —Anna Rosete, Living Editor
