Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Walk Strider Weekender is designed for performance walkers who require rigorous arch support and joint protection without sacrificing the lightweight feel of a casual sneaker. Featuring Vio-Motion technology and an anti-roll design, these trainers are ideal for those who spend long hours on their feet or suffer from foot fatigue. However, users should be aware that the structured support provides a firmer feel underfoot compared to traditional memory foam athletic shoes, which may require a short breaking-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed specifically for performance walking. While they are highly supportive, they are not intended for high-impact running activities.
Can I remove the insoles?
The Walk Strider Weekender features a specialized footbed. It is recommended to keep the original footbed to maintain the Vio-Motion alignment benefits.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure your heel is seated firmly in the deep heel cup. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle without feeling compressed against the front of the shoe.
Does the leather upper require treatment?
While the leather is durable, using a standard leather conditioner or water-repellent spray designed for footwear can help preserve the appearance and longevity of the material.
Is the heel height consistent with other athletic shoes?
The shoe features a 1.75-inch heel height and 1.125-inch platform height, which provides a slight elevation to assist with natural alignment and shock dispersion.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area initially
This is normal for Vionic footwear as the arch support is more prominent than standard sneakers. Limit initial wear to 1-2 hours per day to allow your feet to adjust.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately and check if any debris is caught between the removable footbed and the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear these trainers around the house for short periods during the first week to allow the Vio-Motion arch support to adapt to your foot anatomy. For cleaning, as these trainers utilize a leather upper, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and the structural integrity of the EVA midsole. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack over time.
