Ideal for daily walking and casual wear, these trainers feature Vionic's signature Vio-Motion technology to promote natural alignment and stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact running?
These are designed primarily for walking and casual daily use rather than high-impact athletic training.
Can I remove the footbed?
The Vio-Motion technology is a core part of the shoe's biomechanical design; it is recommended to keep the footbed intact.
How do I clean the suede leather?
Use a dry suede brush to clean surface dirt. Avoid liquid cleaners that may alter the texture of the suede.
Are these shoes true to size?
Vionic shoes are generally built to standard sizing, providing enough room for the foot to expand during the day.
What is the primary benefit of the nylon and suede combination?
This blend offers a mix of breathable, flexible movement and high-durability structure.
Will the arch support feel too high?
If you are not used to arch support, it may feel different at first, but the contoured shape is intended to support the natural footprint.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial wear
This is common when adjusting to orthotic support. Limit wear to 2-3 hours for the first few days.
Suede material showing water spots
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift stains after the material has dried completely.
Laces coming undone
The nylon upper is smooth; consider a double-knot or using higher-friction cotton replacement laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic trainers last, avoid submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the suede and nylon sections regularly. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Because of the specialized orthotic footbed, it is recommended to wear the trainers for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the alignment technology. If you use custom orthotics, the Vio-Motion footbed is designed to provide optimal support on its own, though you may consult a podiatrist regarding compatibility with specific medical inserts.
