Product Information

Full details

The Vionic Brea Slingback Sandal is designed for adult women seeking everyday comfort and support, especially those dealing with foot pain like Plantar Fasciitis or Achilles Tendonitis. Its key benefit is the built-in Vio-Motion Technology footbed, offering exceptional arch support and shock absorption. A potential caveat is the adjustment period required for feet to adapt to the orthotic comfort. This sandal features a premium leather upper, a durable rubber outsole, a flexible EVA midsole, and a microfiber-covered footbed for enhanced breathability.

FAQs

How long does it take to break in the Vionic Brea sandals?

We recommend wearing them for a few hours each day for the first few days. Most users find them completely comfortable and supportive within one to two weeks.

Are these sandals good for Plantar Fasciitis?

Yes, the Vionic sandals' built-in orthotic is designed with Vio-Motion Technology, featuring contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, which has been shown to be effective in helping to treat heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis or Achilles Tendonitis.

Can I remove the Vionic footbed?

No, the Vio-Motion Technology footbed is built into the sandal and is not removable. It is integral to the shoe's support system.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium leather or nubuck.

How do I clean my leather Vionic sandals?

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid soaking the sandals.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 0.25 inches.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

While this specific model (UK 5, Black) may not be explicitly labeled as wide, Vionic offers various models, including some Brea variants, in wide fit options. Please check the product details for specific width availability.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal due to the break-in period. Wear the sandals for a few hours daily for the first 1-2 weeks to allow your feet to adapt to the orthotic support.

Straps feel too loose or too tight.

The elastic backstrap is designed for a secure fit. Ensure the toe post is aligned comfortably. For fit adjustments, consider checking for available wide-fit models if applicable.

Slight squeaking sound during walking.

This can sometimes occur with new leather or rubber components. Ensure all parts are dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the sound originates from there.

Reduced breathability.

The microfiber footbed is designed for breathability. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Avoid wearing with socks that may impede airflow.
