They’re here!!! This summer’s range of sandals and summer shoes. We spent quite some time oooooing and aaaahing over this season’s range. I’m definitely having a philosophical discussion about just how many shoes one physio (who basically lives in trainers . . . ) actually needs! Each and every shoe and sandal has an in built orthotic with Vionic’s newest biomechanical innovation. Incorporating a deep heel cup, a contoured arch…
What is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar – base of the foot Fascia – stretchy, strong connective tissue that helps stabilize your muscles throughout the body. Itis – inflammation.

Why we sponsor Walking Football Spain – because movement matters! There is a huge wealth of research showing that keeping active and moving…
This summer I was honestly surprised by how many chaps wanted Vionic sandals. The ease of just slipping them on and knowing you were doing good things for your feet obviously appealed.

Often dress shoes have a narrow…
