Common questions
What's the difference between Good Feet and Vionic insoles?
Vionic sells a single cushioned orthotic insole per pair, chosen by shoe size and activity. Good Feet is a Personally Fitted three-support system — Strengthener, Maintainer and Relaxer — selected from over 300 combinations to match your arch and lifestyle. Vionic prioritises cushioning; Good Feet prioritises firm structured alignment support that holds through the arch, heel and midfoot.
Are Good Feet supports firmer than Vionic insoles?
Yes. Good Feet Personally Fitted Foot Supports are noticeably firmer than Vionic's cushioned orthotic insoles. Firmness is what allows the arch to be held in a supported position under load, which is why the Strengthener and Maintainer are typically recommended for persistent plantar fasciitis, standing-all-day discomfort and heavier body weight.
Can I use Vionic and Good Feet at the same time?
No — arch supports only work when they're the only insert in the shoe. If you're switching from Vionic to Good Feet, remove the original insole and replace it with the Good Feet support. For slim shoes that can't fit a full support, the Good Feet Relaxer is designed for that use case.
Do Good Feet supports last longer than Vionic insoles?
Yes, in typical use. Cushioned insoles like Vionic naturally compress and lose support over 6 – 12 months of daily wear. Good Feet Personally Fitted Foot Supports are backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty against defects under normal use, so there's no replacement cost for the life of the product.
Which is better for plantar fasciitis: Good Feet or Vionic?
For persistent plantar fasciitis, most Australians find they need firmer structured arch support than a cushioned insole provides. The Good Feet Strengthener or Maintainer is typically what customers with plantar fasciitis switch to when Vionic has helped with comfort but hasn't resolved the underlying arch strain.
Do I have to visit a store to buy Good Feet supports?
No. You can order from goodfeetstore.com.au and start with the fit quiz to get matched to the right support. Every order is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can also book a free personally fitted appointment at any Good Feet Store Australia location.
