Full details
The Vionic Charlie heeled dress sandal is designed for adult women who require refined style without compromising on orthopedic support. By integrating proprietary Vio Motion technology, these leather sandals provide a stable, cushioned platform that helps with natural foot alignment during formal occasions or long events. While they offer superior stability for a 7.5 cm heel, users transitioning from flat shoes may require a short adjustment period to acclimate to the elevated arch support.

FAQs
Can these sandals be worn all day?
Yes, they are designed for all-day comfort, but it is recommended to build up your wear time gradually if you are new to Vionic's orthotic-support footwear.
What is the heel height of the Charlie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 7.5 cm.
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the Vio Motion technology includes contoured arch support specifically designed to assist those with flat feet and overpronation.
How do I choose the correct size?
These sandals follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to select your usual size; however, if you are between sizes, refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the Charlie sandals are made of leather and should not be exposed to excessive moisture, rain, or submerged in water.
Does the arch support lose its shape?
The high-quality materials are designed to maintain their structural integrity through regular use, though natural wear will occur over several years depending on frequency of use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch initially
This is normal for users new to Vionic footwear. Limit wear to 1-2 hours per day for the first week to let your arches acclimate to the support.
Leather looks dull after repeated use
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for luxury footwear to restore moisture and shine.
Foot sliding forward in the sandal
Ensure the straps are fastened correctly and consider using a thin, clear adhesive gel grip on the ball of the foot if extra friction is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sandals feature significant arch support, new users should wear them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the feet to adapt to the biomechanical alignment. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the leather. Avoid submerging the sandals in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and the structural integrity of the Vio Motion footbed. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
