Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Walk Max is a high-performance walking shoe designed for adults seeking superior orthotic-level support and enhanced gait efficiency. Engineered with advanced nitrogen-infused foam and a rocker bottom outsole, it excels at providing comfort and alignment for daily walking, though the highly technical rocker sole may require a brief adjustment period for users accustomed to traditional flat-soled sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking. While the foam is highly responsive, the rocker bottom and orthotic structure are optimized for walking gait cycles.
Can I remove the insole to use my own custom orthotics?
The Vio-Flex footbed is designed to provide specific alignment benefits. We recommend using the provided footbed for maximum performance, though it can be removed if necessary.
How do I maintain the water-repellent coating?
Avoid using heavy cleaners or brushes. If the water-repellency fades over time, you can apply a standard, mild sneaker-safe waterproofing spray.
What is the heel height of the Walk Max?
The Walk Max features a 1.8-inch heel height to provide proper elevation for arch support and impact absorption.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the trainers are constructed with a breathable mesh upper and a perforated heel in the footbed to maximize airflow.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure in the arch area
This is normal for Vionic orthotic footwear. Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow your feet to adjust to the support.
Sole feels unstable on uneven terrain
The rocker bottom is optimized for flat surfaces like sidewalks and gym floors. Avoid using them on loose gravel or unstable, uneven trails.
Odour buildup
Ensure the footbed is dry after each use. You can remove the insole to allow the shoe to breathe overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear these trainers around the house for an hour a day during the first week to allow the VIO MOTION footbed to conform to your arch.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the mesh upper gently with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam integrity.
- Because the shoe is water-repellent, do not submerge it in water or use harsh chemical detergents, as this can degrade the specialized surface coating.
- If the footbed becomes damp, remove it and let it air dry separately to maintain the moisture-wicking properties.
