Those of us with wide feet, flat feet, and bunions have a lot less options when buying cute, stylish shoes than women with regular feet. Here is a comparison of two cute, wide width classic sneakers that elevate your casual outfit. These classic sneakers have a lot in common with a few big differences, read on to learn more and find the shoe that works best for your feet.
Even though both shoes are available in wide, are bunion friendly and have a removable insole for orthotics, they have significant differences. The Dr. Scholl’s sneaker in wide runs wider than the Vionic sneaker so it is better if your feet run wide or you have large bunions.
Although both have removable insoles, the Vionic insole has arch support and a deep heel cup for stability. Because of this, I would choose the Vionic shoe if you need the arch support or the less expensive Dr. Scholl’s shoe if you were planning to wear your custom orthotics. Although it is a lot more expensive, the Vionic shoe is made of genuine leather and available in great colors, I especially love the gold leather and white gold leather. So go with the Vionic shoe if you want leather or colors as the Dr. Scholl’s shoe in wide is only available in white.
Both shoes will elevate your casual outfit and are a good option if you have wide feet or bunions. See the chart below for a side-by-side comparison of the two sneakers and click on the below buttons for the full review of the Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker and the Vionic Winny Sneaker.
