Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Essie Sandals are designed for adult women seeking all-day comfort and support, powered by Vio-Motion Technology. Their key benefit is promoting natural alignment and full-body balance through a biomechanically designed footbed. A potential consideration is that the adjustability, while beneficial, requires manual tightening with hook-and-loop closures. Key features include contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, a deep heel cup for stability, and forefoot flexibility, all integrated into a stylish sandal with asymmetrical straps and leather upper.

FAQs
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
Loosen the hook-and-loop fasteners on each strap. Place your foot into the sandal, ensuring your heel is seated in the deep heel cup. Adjust the straps to comfortably secure your foot, ensuring the arch support aligns with your natural arch. Press the hook-and-loop sections firmly to secure.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Essie sandals offer adjustability through their hook-and-loop straps, which can help accommodate slightly wider feet. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit footwear. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for fit experiences on wider feet.
Can I wear these sandals all day, every day?
Yes, the Vio-Motion Technology is designed for all-day comfort and support, making them suitable for daily wear. However, as with any footwear, rotating your shoes can help prolong their life and allow your feet to recover.
What is the difference between the Essie and other Vionic sandals?
The Essie model specifically features asymmetrical straps and is powered by Vio-Motion Technology, which integrates multiple support elements (arch, cushioning, stability, flexibility) into one advanced footbed. Different models may have varying strap designs, materials, and specific technology integrations.
How do I clean the microfibre footbed?
Wipe the microfibre footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the footbed. Allow the sandal to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the heel height of the Essie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm (about 1.2 inches).
Troubleshooting
Straps do not feel secure
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free from debris. Press firmly to secure the straps. If the fasteners are worn, they may need replacement.
Discomfort after initial wear
It is common to experience a break-in period with Vionic footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure straps are adjusted for optimal support and alignment.
Leather upper appears dry or scuffed
Use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and a leather polish or cream to address minor scuffs. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the footbed and the sole. Ensure the sandals are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, but use sparingly.

Setup: The Vionic Essie Sandals require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop straps to achieve your desired fit.
Compatibility: These sandals are designed for adult women. They are compatible with most foot shapes due to their adjustable nature. While they feature built-in orthotic support, they may not accommodate very thick custom orthotics due to the contoured footbed design.
