Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Gretchen boot is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, knee-high silhouette that does not compromise on orthopedic comfort. By integrating Vio Motion Technology, these boots provide exceptional arch support and stability for those who prioritize foot alignment during daily wear. While the leather construction offers durability and a refined aesthetic, users should be aware that the 1.75-inch heel requires a brief adjustment period if you are accustomed to completely flat footwear.

FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
The Vionic Gretchen features integrated Vio Motion technology designed to work specifically with the boot's construction; replacing it is generally not recommended.
Are these boots waterproof?
They are made of leather and are water-resistant but should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy downpours.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner applied with a soft cloth to maintain the suppleness of the material.
What is the heel height?
The heel is approximately 1.75 inches, complemented by a 1.125-inch platform for added stability.
Are they true to size?
Most users find the sizing consistent with standard footwear, though the anatomical arch support may make the initial fit feel different.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric from the interior lining is caught in the zipper track. A light application of wax to the teeth can improve glide.
Boots feel too tight around the calf
The back gore panel is designed to provide stretch, but if pressure persists, ensure the boot is pulled straight up and not twisted while zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vionic Gretchen boots, wipe the leather exterior with a dry, soft cloth after each wear to remove dust. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to crack. The boots are designed for a standard fit; if you typically wear orthotic inserts, test the boot without them first as the built-in Vio Motion footbed is likely sufficient. For the first few uses, wear them for shorter intervals to allow the leather to mold to the natural shape of your foot and allow your muscles to adjust to the arch support.
