Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Gretchen boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots indoors for short periods over the first few days to allow the leather to soften and the arch support to conform to your unique footprint.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner; avoid using harsh chemicals or submersing the boots in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Use boot trees to maintain the shape of the shaft.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed to fit standard foot shapes; if you use custom orthotics, the factory footbed is designed to provide the specific support intended for the Vio Motion platform, though it is usually fixed.
