Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Uptown Loafer is an ideal choice for travelers and professionals seeking a blend of comfort and portability, featuring a deconstructed design that collapses flat for easy storage. By integrating Vio Motion technology, these loafers provide essential arch support and stability to help alleviate common foot ailments like plantar fasciitis. While they offer significant orthopedic benefits, first-time users should be aware that the contoured footbed requires an adaptation period of 1-2 weeks to ensure maximum comfort.

FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the Vionic Uptown Loafers feature a removable EVA insole, allowing you to swap it out for custom-made orthotic inserts.
How long is the break-in period?
We recommend wearing your new Vionic shoes for a few hours at a time for the first 1-2 weeks to allow your feet to adjust to the Vio Motion technology.
What is the heel height?
The heel height on the Uptown Loafer is approximately 3 cm.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these are leather shoes and should not be submerged in water or put in a washing machine. Clean with a damp cloth as needed.
Do these shoes provide relief for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vio Motion technology is specifically designed to provide the arch support and deep heel cup required to help alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
Does the shoe collapse easily for travel?
Yes, the Uptown series is designed with a deconstructed upper that allows it to fold flat, saving significant space in your luggage.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable or hard during first wear
This is normal for orthotic footwear; continue wearing for short periods daily until your feet adapt, usually within 1-2 weeks.
Shoe feels too snug
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hosiery or consider if the removable insole needs adjustment or cleaning.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a standard leather conditioner or a gentle leather-safe cleaner to buff out minor marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Vionic Uptown Loafers, begin by wearing them for limited periods during the first two weeks; this allows your feet to adjust to the orthotic arch support. The shoes are compatible with orthotic-friendly needs, though the included EVA insole provides most of the necessary support. For maintenance, keep the leather clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, and if the interior needs refreshing, the removable insole can be taken out and wiped down separately. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the leather.
