Vionic recently debuted the winter models of its orthotic-friendly footwear range and the silhouettes are both timeless and stylish. Frequently recommended by podiatrists, the brand is known for its innovative arch support technology and its design emphasis on aesthetic-pleasing silhouettes makes it stand out on the market. Bridging comfort and style is definitely a desired feature when it comes to shoes.
Vionic's Winter 2023 range of orthotic-friendly footwear includes the Karsen Waterproof Chelsea Boot, the Breanna Waterproof Tall Boot, the Ronan Waterproof Boot, and the Jaxen Waterproof Boot. Each model is durable and will last long harsh winters. Vionic included something for everyone in this range—while the Jaxen is a hiker-inspired silhouette that appeals to the sporty at heart, the Breanna features a short heel and a sherpa-inspired exterior.
