Full details
The Vionic Essie Sandals are designed for women seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for everyday wear. Powered by Vio-Motion Technology, these sandals promote natural alignment and full-body balance, offering a significant benefit for those who experience foot fatigue or discomfort. A potential caveat is the initial break-in period some users may experience to fully adapt to the contoured footbed. Key features include built-in arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, a deep heel cup for stability, and flexible forefoot design, all integrated into a stylish leather upper with asymmetrical straps and branded hardware.

FAQs
Are the Vionic Essie sandals suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Essie sandals are designed with Vionic's Vio-Motion Technology, which includes contoured arch support and cushioning specifically to help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis.
What is the heel height of the Vionic Essie sandals?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the TPR sole offers some durability, the sandals are not designed for heavy water exposure. The leather upper can be damaged by excessive moisture, and the sole may offer less grip on very wet surfaces.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Vionic size chart, which typically provides conversions for international sizes. It's also recommended to check reviews for fit guidance or try them on if possible.
Are the straps adjustable?
No, the Vionic Essie sandals feature fixed, asymmetrical straps and are not adjustable.
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made of soft microfibre, integrated with the Vio-Motion Technology for comfort and support.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For stains or scuffs, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner sparingly, and allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort or stiffness during the first few wears
This is common as the Vio-Motion Technology footbed molds to your foot. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow for comfortable adaptation.
Footbed feels too firm
The firmness is designed to provide support. If it feels uncomfortable after a sufficient break-in period, ensure you have selected the correct size and consider if the contoured support meets your specific needs.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
The Essie model features asymmetrical straps that are not adjustable. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. If the fit is significantly off, consider trying a half-size or full-size variation.
Leather shows signs of wear or scuffing
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to address minor scuffs and maintain the leather's appearance. For deeper marks, professional leather repair might be an option.
