FAQs
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Suede material and structural components can be damaged by water submersion and agitation; use dry cleaning methods only.
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact running?
These are categorized as walking trainers and are not designed for the repetitive high impact of long-distance running.
Does the arch support work for flat feet?
Yes, VIO MOTION technology is designed to provide corrective support that helps align the foot, which is beneficial for those with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I replace the provided midsole with my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided EVA midsole is removable, making it easy to swap in your personal custom-molded orthotics if preferred.
How should I protect the suede from water damage?
It is highly recommended to use a high-quality suede water-repellent spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure in the arch area
This is common for those new to orthotic footwear; limit wear to 1-2 hours initially and increase time gradually as your feet adjust.
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the suede in one direction with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Insole shifting during use
Ensure the removable EVA midsole is pressed firmly into the heel cup and aligned correctly before putting on the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vionic City Walk Trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the shoe is worn with socks to prevent friction and maximize the effectiveness of the contoured arch.
- Break-in Period: If you are new to Vionic footwear, wear the trainers for a few hours a day over the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the arch support.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a suede-safe cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving suede exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
- Compatibility: The removable midsole is designed to be swapped if necessary, though it is engineered specifically to complement the shoe's internal geometry.
