Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Charlie heeled dress sandal is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated aesthetic without compromising on physiological comfort. By integrating signature Vio Motion technology, these leather sandals provide advanced arch support and shock absorption that promotes full-body alignment during formal occasions. While they offer excellent stability through a deep heel cup and sculpted design, users should note the 7.5 cm heel height may require a brief adjustment period for those unaccustomed to wearing elevated footwear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the Vio Motion technology is specifically designed to provide the contoured arch support that many people with flat feet or overpronation require.
Can I replace the insole?
The Vio Motion technology is built into the construction of the Charlie sandal and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 7.5 cm.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or heavy leather conditioners, as these can alter the finish of the material.
Are these sandals true to size?
Vionic shoes are generally true to standard UK sizing, though the fit of the leather may feel snug initially before it softens with wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped at first
Leather requires a brief 'break-in' period; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours around the house to allow the material to stretch and adapt to your foot.
Sensation of the arch support feels high
This is normal for Vionic footwear. If you are not used to arch support, wear the sandals in short increments to allow your feet to adjust to the corrective alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sandals are crafted from leather, it is recommended to wear them indoors for short intervals during the first few days to allow the material to conform to your specific foot shape. To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the leather, store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth; do not submerge the shoes in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the specialized Vio Motion footbed.
