Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Walk Slim Glide Trainers are designed for active adults who demand both fashion-forward aesthetics and clinical-grade orthotic support in their daily footwear. By integrating VIO MOTION Technology into a low-profile, retro-inspired silhouette, these trainers provide exceptional arch support and stability for long days on your feet; however, users should note that the specialized fit may require a short breaking-in period to allow the contoured footbed to align with your natural gait.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact sports?
These are designed primarily for casual walking and daily wear, not for high-impact athletic activities or sports.
Can I remove the footbed?
The VIO MOTION technology footbed is integral to the shoe's design and support structure; it is not intended to be removed.
How should I clean the suede portions?
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt. Avoid soaking the suede, as it can cause discoloration or stiffening of the material.
Does the size 5.5 UK fit true to size?
The Walk Slim Glide generally fits true to standard sizing, though the contoured footbed may make the fit feel slightly more 'locked-in' than standard flat trainers.
What is the primary benefit of the nylon shank?
The nylon shank provides midfoot stability, which prevents the shoe from twisting excessively and supports the natural movement of the arch.
Troubleshooting
Arch support feels too intense or uncomfortable initially
This is common for those new to orthotic-style footwear. Limit wear to 1-2 hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the alignment technology.
Suede upper showing signs of water spotting
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once fully dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vionic Walk Slim Glide trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the VIO MOTION footbed to adapt to your foot anatomy.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the suede panels. For the nylon sections, a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water is sufficient.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede can help preserve the 'Olive Moss' finish against unexpected weather.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the EVA foam over time.
