Vista Energy (Comp Toe)

Women's

My feet measure 23.5cm and I wear women’s size 8 non-wide in everything for comfort and for toe room when hiking, but I do think I have a wide foot (96mm). I ordered these in 8 WIDE knowing the toe would be solid and have no give. I think the shoe looks nice. The length was just right but it was still not wide enough. The insole measured 92 mm at its widest, which is narrower than some of my non-wide shoes. The toe cap only gives you about 82 mm (3 1/4”) width inside. The shoe felt great, sturdy, comfy, and flexible at the ball because of the sole lines. Tried it on with both thin and very thick boot socks and it fit fine, with the exception of the protective toe cap. The toe cap was very hard on the side of my big toe and it felt like the outside edge of the toe cap hit my “ring” toes. Didn’t take more than two steps before I knew that was going to be a real painful issue. There’s enough room to move the toes up and down, but the sides of the toe cap are even noticeably pinching the insoles inside of the shoe. I don’t think sizing up more would help me since the toe cap comes down about 5cm (2”) from the tip and is not wide enough even in this WIDE size. This is otherwise a great feeling shoe with good lining materials, a tiny bit of ventilation, lightweight, secure and stable, well cushioned and could work for those that have a regular width or narrow foot, I would still go wide though.

These shoes are very comfortable. I have both plantar fasciitis and a Morton’s Neuroma and can wear these for 10 hours with comfort. Hour 8 is just tired legs. They are a work shoe so don’t expect sleek and low profile. They look and feel like hiking shoes. No blisters and really a one day “wear-in” period. I am very pleased with this purchase!

These shoes are super cute on.. Unfortunately, my experience with them isn't good. They're uncomfortable and super stiff and also hurt my ankles. I even added insoles for extra cushioning. I have health issues and problems standing on my feet the whole shift so looking for lightweight comfortable safety steel toed shoes is basically impossible. It's now mandatory for us to wear safety shoes so I've been desperately hunting for tolerable safety shoes I can work in. Even before I left the house, as soon as I put them on, I already felt an uncomfortable shocking pain vibrating down my right leg, basically triggering my sciatica. I only lasted an hour at work.. then I took VTO, I knew I was going to suffer with them on a whole shift so I didn't want to torture myself.

I LOVE these shoes. I work in a warehouse, so I need to have safety toes. I have a few other shoes by other brands which are either too heavy or not supportive enough on the concrete floors. I bought these, and they're perfect. I also think they are cute, or as cute as such shoes can be. I love them. They're just perfection.
