Full details
The Vionic Walk Slim Glide Trainers are designed for active women seeking a blend of style and medical-grade orthopedic support. Ideal for daily walking and light fitness, these sneakers excel by offering biomechanically engineered alignment technology that reduces strain on the feet and joints. While they provide exceptional arch support and stability, users should note that the specialized fit may require a brief break-in period for those transitioning from flat, non-supportive footwear.

FAQs
What is VIO MOTION technology?
It is Vionic's signature alignment technology that combines arch support, deep heel cups, and cushioning to promote natural movement.
Can I remove the insoles?
The Walk Slim Glide features integrated support; it is generally recommended to keep the original insoles to maintain the biomechanical benefits.
Are these shoes good for standing all day?
Yes, the shock-absorbing cushioning and arch support are specifically engineered to provide comfort for individuals who stand for long periods.
How do I clean the brown material?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For minor stains, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but avoid saturating the material.
Do I need to size up for these?
Most users find the sizing true to standard UK sizes, but the structural support may feel more 'snug' than traditional fashion sneakers.
Are these waterproof?
No, they are not marketed as waterproof and should be kept dry to preserve the longevity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure in the arch area.
This is normal for Vionic shoes; wear them for one-hour increments for the first 3-5 days to allow the orthotic to conform.
Heel slipping while walking.
Ensure the laces are snug and that you are wearing an appropriately thick athletic sock to fill the heel volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, wear them for only a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the VIO MOTION support to adjust to your foot architecture. Ensure you are using a standard athletic sock to maintain proper internal friction levels. For maintenance, keep the brown upper clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the specialized internal support materials. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
