Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Etna sandals are designed for adults seeking a balance between daily orthotic support and aesthetic appeal. Featuring Vionic's proprietary Vio Motion technology, these sandals provide essential arch support and stability through a contoured footbed and deep heel cup, making them ideal for long hours of wear. One caveat to consider is that those new to orthotic footwear may require a brief break-in period to allow their feet to adjust to the structured arch support.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed with Vio Motion technology specifically for long-lasting, all-day support.
Can I get these sandals wet?
While they are durable, it is best to avoid submerging them in water, as excessive moisture can damage the leather upper and the adhesives in the footbed.
How should I choose my size?
Vionic Etna sandals generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend referencing the standard UK size chart provided.
What is the purpose of the 3cm heel height?
The 3cm heel provides a slight, ergonomic lift that helps relieve pressure on the heel and aligns the foot for better posture.
How do I know if the arch support is in the right place?
The contour of the footbed should match the natural curve of your arch. If it feels correctly positioned but uncomfortable, refer to our break-in guide.
Do these sandals provide enough grip for outdoor use?
The TPR outsole is designed to provide excellent traction on standard walking surfaces like pavement, sidewalks, and interior flooring.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure in the arches during initial use.
This is common for those new to orthotics. Limit wear to 1-2 hours daily for the first week to allow your arches to acclimate.
Foot slipping slightly within the sandal.
Ensure the medial gore is clean and not obstructed, and confirm you are wearing the correct size. The straps should sit snugly across the instep.
Leather looks dull after heavy use.
Apply a leather conditioner suitable for the specific finish of your beige sandals to restore suppleness and sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Etna sandals maintain their support and appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: If you are new to Vionic footwear, wear them for only a few hours at a time during the first few days. This allows your feet to adjust to the new level of arch support.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe away surface dust. For minor stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in high-heat environments like the inside of a car, as excessive heat can impact the integrity of the EVA or molded footbed materials.
- Compatibility: These are standard UK adult sizes; if you typically wear wide widths, ensure you check the fit as the cross-band design is tailored for standard foot shapes.
