These are the fans whose lives have been changed by Vionic with Orthaheel Technology. Their stories are the helping hands that help others discover that with Vionic shoes, the possibilities are limitless.<\/p>\n<p>(And of course, #solestory is the hashtag you can use if you freakin&#8217; love how Orthaheel Technology makes your life better!) We recently asked each Vionic enthusiast to share her own #solestory. The photos and videos we received re-affirmed why we do what we do: strive to make the most stylish, life-changing footwear ever. We&#8217;re excited to announce these three stand-out stories&#8230; <strong>Our newest #solestory winners are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Emily Dickey, Rockford<\/strong> <em>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625; color: #000000;\">Vionic shoes make my life better because they make my KIDS&#8217; lives better.
