Op, you may also want to consider what shoe you wear after exercise, a recovery shoe. It wouldn't be the same shoe. Your feet will need you to mix-it-up, while still being supportive.

Can you get to a Nordstrom? They sell all of these brands mentioned and even if you don't find something you like, you'll get a sense of fit.

If you don't have a high-ish arch, Vionics are not for you. I really like On. They are lightweight and have a squishy bottom that supports my foot (and it's high arch) rather well. And my (young, fit) MIL get them for in-house after knee surgery.

Mine improved greatly after switching to zero-drop shoes. It took a minute to get used to it but now I can't go back to regular - it feels like i'm wearing high heels and my body freaks out.

Difficult to find stylish minimal/zero drop - my faves so far for style have been merrell trail glove and lems.

No experience with Vionic but love every NB I buy. Did not like Hokas!

I like Vionic for flip flops inside the house but New Balance for outside walking around. If your feet are at all wide, New Balance is great for that.

Not sleek at all, but Hoka Arahi have been great for my PTT and arch dysfunction.

I have tendonitis and Vionics are amazing for that. They are a negative in terms of beauty and fashion though.

I have posterior tibial tendonitis (ankle tendonitis) and need another pair of supportive shoes that looks a little sleeker than the New Balance Vongos I wear currently on walks.
Should I take a look at Vionic? Or stick with New Balance?
How do Vionics measure up in terms of comfort and support compared to a more supportive style of NB?
Experiences, advice needed.
