Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Brea Sandal is designed for adult women seeking stylish, everyday comfort with significant arch support. Its key benefit is the built-in Vio-Motion Technology footbed, which helps align the body and alleviate foot pain associated with conditions like Plantar Fasciitis. A minor caveat is the recommendation to gradually break them in to allow feet to adapt to the new support. This versatile sandal features a premium leather or nubuck upper, a durable rubber outsole, and a flexible EVA midsole.

Can these sandals help with Plantar Fasciitis?
Yes, the built-in Vio-Motion Technology footbed with contoured arch support and cushioning is designed to help alleviate heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis.

How should I clean my Vionic Brea Sandals?

Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is normal due to the break-in period. Gradually increase wear time over several days to allow your feet to adapt to the supportive footbed.
Sandals feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic backstrap provides some adjustability, but a proper fit is crucial for support. Consider trying a different size or width if available.
Footbed feels stiff
The EVA midsole and Vio-Motion footbed are designed to be flexible yet supportive. Continued wear will allow the material to conform slightly to your foot's natural shape.
Leather or nubuck shows marks or scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or cleaner specifically designed for the material. For nubuck, a suede brush can help restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No assembly is required. These sandals are ready to wear out of the box. However, it is recommended to wear them for a few hours each day for the first week to allow your feet to gradually adapt to the Vio-Motion Technology footbed and its supportive structure.
Compatibility:
- Foot Conditions: Ideal for individuals with flat feet, high arches, Plantar Fasciitis, or Achilles Tendonitis. They are also suitable for general daily wear for anyone seeking enhanced comfort and support.
- Footwear Pairing: While primarily sandals, their supportive nature makes them a good option for warmer weather when orthotic insoles might be difficult to fit into other shoe types.
Care:
- Upper: Clean premium leather or nubuck uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.
- Footbed: Wipe the microfibre-covered footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
