FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically designed for performance walking. While they offer excellent support and cushioning, they are not optimized for the impact and motion of running. For running, consider a shoe designed for that activity.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Vionic or the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately and compare it with the provided size guide. The UK 12 is listed for this specific product variant.
Can the insoles be removed?
The VIO MOTION Technology footbed is integrated into the shoe's design for maximum support and alignment. It is generally not designed to be removed. If you require custom orthotics, consult a professional on how they might work with this shoe's structure.
What is the primary benefit of the VIO MOTION Technology?
VIO MOTION Technology provides a unique combination of contoured arch support, advanced cushioning, deep heel support, and forefoot flexibility, all working together to promote natural alignment, stability, and comfort during walking.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Clean your suede trainers as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty. Use a soft brush for light dust and a slightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid washing them with water or harsh chemicals.
What makes these shoes good for walking stability?
The shoes feature anti-roll and lateral rigidity constructs, along with a deep heel cup, all contributing to a more stable and controlled walking motion, reducing the risk of ankle rolls and improving overall balance.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Vionic Walk Strider Sneaker features a knit and suede upper, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are designed for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain or wet environments, waterproof footwear is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or stiffness
Wear the shoes for short periods initially (1-2 hours) to allow your feet to adapt to the new support system. Gradually increase wear time.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try powdering the insole lightly or ensuring all components are dry. If persistent, contact customer support.
Arch feels too high or firm
This is common with supportive footwear. Allow a break-in period of a week or two. If discomfort persists and significantly impacts walking, consult with a footwear specialist.
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are threaded correctly and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
