Who should NOT buy Vionic Zinah

If you want a shoe with enough toe room to let the toe splay, you should buy the Vionic Penelope instead of the Zinah.

If you need a shoe that can handle extensive use, the Vionic Aimmy can endure beatings more than this walking shoe can.

Vionic Zinah side profile

According to the reviewers, this shoe is perfect for both casual wear and a little dressier work outfit. Some even commented that this shoe has a “tasteful rich color” and is "very rich looking."

Comfort without durability

Several users find that this Vionic shoe is the “most comfortable shoe ever, but it does not last.” Some of the issues found after wearing this walking shoe are the following:

  • the sole is coming apart
  • stitchings are unraveling
  • the rubber on the toes starts to pull away from the material at the toe part
  • wrinkles easily
  • the leather stains easily

Elastic on top but tight on the toe part

It can be "too tight across the top" of the foot, but with the elastic gore strap, the shoe can stretch a little. However, the discomfort on the toe part is what’s stopping people with wide feet from wearing this since there’s only a little space for the toes, resulting in continuous rubbing on the big toe.
