Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Walk Slim Glide Trainers are designed for adult women seeking style-forward comfort for all-occasion wear. Their key benefit is the biomechanically engineered VIO MOTION Technology footbed that provides exceptional arch support, cushioning, stability, and flexibility. A potential caveat is that while offering significant support, the specific fit and feel of the contoured arch may take some adjustment for those unaccustomed to such structured support.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Vionic Walk Slim Glide Trainers are designed for walking and everyday comfort. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities. For running, we recommend shoes designed explicitly for that purpose.
Can I remove the VIO MOTION Technology footbed?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable. This allows for easier cleaning and the option to insert custom orthotics if needed, although the built-in technology is designed to provide comprehensive support.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Vionic sizing chart available on our website or consult with a footwear professional. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes.
What is the heel height and platform height?
The heel height is approximately 1.75 inches, and the platform height is approximately 0.875 inches.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions. Proper care and occasional use of a protective spray can help with water resistance.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Medium-weight or athletic socks are generally recommended for comfort and to aid in the break-in process. Avoid very thin socks during the initial wear period if you experience any rubbing.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Regular cleaning of visible dirt with a damp cloth is recommended after wear. Deep cleaning of the footbed should be done as needed, ensuring it is thoroughly dried before reinsertion.
Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue despite supportive design
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you are new to biomechanically supportive footwear, allow a break-in period of a few hours per day for the first week as your feet adjust to the contoured arch.
Slight rubbing or discomfort
Check that laces are not overtightened. If discomfort persists in a specific area, ensure the removable footbed is positioned correctly. Consider wearing thicker socks during the initial break-in period.
Shoes feel stiff
This is often normal for new shoes with supportive construction. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the materials to flex and mold to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and support.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these trainers are suitable for casual wear, walking, and light fitness activities. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits including jeans, athleisure wear, and casual dresses.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Vionic Walk Slim Glide Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and synthetic materials, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Footbed: The removable mesh-covered EVA footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using high heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials to help guard against water and stains, especially for the brown leather variant.
