FAQs

Are these shoes good for plantar fasciitis?

The Vionic Walk Strider Sneaker features built-in VIO MOTION Technology with contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing plantar fasciitis by promoting proper alignment and reducing stress on the heel.

Can I wear these for running?

These sneakers are specifically designed for performance walking. While they offer excellent stability and cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact activities like running, which require different types of support and flexibility.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to a standard UK sizing chart and measure your foot length. The product description provides the UK size available for this specific model. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Is the knit upper waterproof?

The knit upper is designed for breathability and comfort. It is not waterproof. For protection against rain or heavy moisture, consider using a suede protector spray suitable for knit materials.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean your suede trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular brushing with a soft suede brush can maintain the appearance. Deep cleaning should be done cautiously with appropriate suede cleaning products.

What is the main benefit of the 'anti-roll' feature?

The anti-roll and lateral rigidity constructs help to minimize excessive inward or outward rolling of the foot during the walking gait cycle, contributing to enhanced stability and reducing the risk of strain or discomfort.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

While the VIO MOTION Technology aims for a supportive fit, the specific width of the sneaker might vary. If you have wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check for specific width options if available, as the standard fit might feel snug.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort or unfamiliar feel

The VIO MOTION Technology footbed is biomechanically designed. Allow for a break-in period of 2-3 wearings to let your feet adjust to the contoured support and alignment features.

Suede material getting wet

Suede is sensitive to moisture. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a suede protector spray before wear to add a layer of water resistance.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Ensure the insole is properly seated. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole may help if the squeaking persists.
