FAQs

Are these trainers good for running?

The Vionic Walk Slim Glide trainers are designed for walking and casual wear. They offer excellent support and cushioning for everyday activities but are not intended for high-impact running or athletic training.

What is Vio-Motion Technology?

Vio-Motion Technology is Vionic's proprietary biomechanical design integrated into the footbed, providing contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, stability through a deep heel cup, and forefoot flexibility.

Can I remove the insoles?

The Vio-Motion Technology footbed is built into the shoe and is not designed to be removable. Attempting to remove it may damage the shoe's structure.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Vionic sizing chart for accurate measurements. These trainers are available in UK adult women's sizes. Consider your usual shoe size but consult the chart for best results.

How should I clean the suede and nylon uppers?

For suede, use a soft brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for minor marks. For nylon, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is the main benefit of wearing these trainers?

The primary benefit is the combination of style and biomechanical support, which helps to align the body and promote natural foot function, reducing fatigue and discomfort during daily activities.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

These trainers generally offer a medium width. While the lacing allows for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet without trying them on first.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Allow for a break-in period of a few wears to let the materials conform to your feet.

Arch support feels too high

This is characteristic of the Vio-Motion Technology. If it persists beyond the break-in period, consider if the specific support level is suitable for your needs or if an insole insert designed for flatter feet might be needed (though this may compromise the intended biomechanics).

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides durable traction, always exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Laces come undone easily

Ensure laces are tied securely. If the material is particularly smooth, try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a textured pair.

Compatibility: The Vionic Walk Slim Glide trainers are designed for adult women and are ideal for those who prioritize comfort and support in their footwear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Uppers: For nylon and suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For minor stains on suede, a suede eraser can be effective. For leather accents, a damp cloth can be used gently.
  2. Footbed: The built-in footbed can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with mild soap and water if needed.
  4. Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
