Full details
The Vionic Walk Strider Weekender Trainers are designed for performance walkers and active individuals who require serious orthopedic support without sacrificing style. Featuring advanced Vio Motion Technology, these trainers provide exceptional arch support, stability, and shock absorption to promote full-body alignment during daily movement. While they offer superior biomechanical benefits, users new to Vionic footwear may need a short break-in period to adjust to the contoured arch support.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance walking?
Yes, they are specifically designed for performance walking with features like Vio Motion and 1st Ray Technology to support long-term movement.
Can I remove the insoles to use my own orthotics?
Vionic shoes are designed with a specific contoured footbed. We recommend using the provided footbed for maximum benefit, as it is part of the Vio Motion support system.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner, testing a small area first.
Does the shoe provide good heel support?
Yes, it features a deep heel cup designed to provide stability and minimize heel strike impact.
What is the heel height of this shoe?
The heel height is approximately 1.75 inches, with a platform height of 1.125 inches.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
The trainers feature a leather upper, which is naturally durable, but they are not marketed as waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area initially
This is common for those new to orthotic footwear; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours per day initially, gradually increasing time over two weeks.
Trainer feels too snug with thicker socks
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to account for the volume of your foot, or switch to a thinner, moisture-wicking athletic sock.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, begin wearing your new Vionic shoes for only a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the orthotic support. For care, wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather and the integrity of the EVA midsole. If the footbed becomes damp, remove it from the shoe and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
