Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Gretchen knee-high boots are ideal for adults seeking a sophisticated, fashion-forward aesthetic without compromising on orthopedic support. These boots excel by integrating Vio Motion Technology to provide professional-grade arch support and stability in a sleek, leather-finished package, though the high-fashion silhouette may require a short break-in period for those unaccustomed to structured lugged soles.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and high quality, they are not classified as waterproof. Use a leather protectant spray to increase resistance to light moisture.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
The Vionic footbed is integrated to provide specific alignment. Removing it may compromise the comfort and performance features of the boot.
What is the heel height?
The boots feature a 1.75-inch heel and a 1.125-inch platform, resulting in a very comfortable, low-impact pitch.
Do these boots accommodate wide calves?
The back gore panel provides additional flexibility and stretch, allowing for a more customized fit than rigid leather boots.
Are these suitable for all-day walking?
Yes, Vio Motion Technology is specifically engineered to reduce foot fatigue and provide comfort for extended periods of standing or walking.
Troubleshooting
Stiff zipper movement
Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a graphite pencil tip to the zipper teeth to lubricate the track.
Boots feel too tight in the calf
Ensure the back gore panel is fully extended and not caught under a sock; if tightness persists, consider thinner hosiery.
Surface scuffing on leather
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Vionic Gretchen boots, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources which can crack the leather. Use a professional leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to keep the surface supple and resistant to water. For the best fit, ensure the back gore panel is not overly stretched, as this maintains the structural integrity of the boot. If you use custom orthotics, note that the internal Vio Motion footbed is designed to work in tandem with the boot's geometry, and removing it may alter the intended alignment and support features.
