Feet Must Tango? Find My Toes? Feel My Tootsies? F*** Me, Tat?
nope FMT technology - a built-in four-degree arch support and deep heel cups help stabilise the instep, aligning your feet to their natural position and helping with overall body alignment, while a lightweight and flexible EVA midsole absorbs shock to help reduce the impact on your knees and ankles.

Not according to my orthotist. Got a pair and took them along to him. His response was to send them back as the arch support was in completely the wrong place. I took his advice. Saved my hard earned, bought a decent pair of shoes and he adjusted them specifically for me. Now I can't say that I can do the tango but I can walk without my feet rolling around and placing a strain on my knees, hips and back. He's my wonder man!
I tried some vionics when I was at Birchwood and they were all wrong for me. My faves are earth spirit, they are really comfortable. The only trouble is, not all styles have arch supports and they never seem to specify on tv demos.
Exactly! Catherine Huntley also commented that having these shoes saved you having to put your own orthotics in. Absolute horrocks! My orthotics were made for my feet. These shoes were not!The demos with the models with lines and arrows on their leg mystify me .Because its saying that every persons stance and leg alignment should be in a particular position and this can be achieved by their Vionic FMT shoes. This can't be true because people have very individual body types ,posture, stance. As others have said if you have a foot problem you need to get individual advice and a solution. To me its just hype and an ingenious marketing point.
