FAQs
Are the insoles removable?
No, the Vio Motion Technology is integrated into the footbed for structural integrity and alignment support.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the shoes are durable, the suede material is sensitive to moisture; we recommend using a suede protector spray and avoiding heavy rain.
Do these provide enough support for high arches?
Yes, the Vio Motion Technology is specifically designed to provide contoured arch support suitable for most arch types.
How should I store these loafers?
Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the loafers when not in use.
Is the sizing true to size?
The Pilar series is generally true to standard UK sizing; however, check the size guide to ensure the best fit for your specific foot dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
This is common with proper arch support; wear the shoes for short periods over the first week to let the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap of the material and remove loose debris.
Shoes slipping at the heel
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider using a thin heel liner if your foot measurement falls between standard sizes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent orthotic support for foot health

- Deep heel cup provides superior stability

Cons
- Suede material is susceptible to water and dirt damage
- Requires a break-in period for the arch support to feel natural

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Pilar Loafers feature built-in orthotic technology, there is no setup required; however, if you are new to Vionic footwear, we recommend wearing them for only a few hours at a time during the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the arch support. Regarding care, the suede finish should be treated with a protective water and stain repellent spray before the first use. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or stiffen the suede.
