FAQs
How long does it take to break in the Vionic Essie Sandals?
Vionic recommends wearing the sandals for a few hours each day for the first few days. Most users find them completely comfortable and supportive within one to two weeks.
Can these sandals help with plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Essie Sandals feature built-in orthotic support, including contoured arch support and a deep heel cup, which are beneficial for managing symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather gently with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Essie sandals are designed with a standard width. While they offer good support, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's best to check specific width measurements if available or try them on.
What is the material of the footbed?
The footbed is biomechanically designed with Vio Motion Technology, featuring contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning. The specific material composition is proprietary but engineered for comfort and support.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the leather can be wiped clean, these sandals are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water may damage the leather and affect the integrity of the shoe. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or standing water.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or feeling of stiffness
This is normal during the adjustment period. Gradually increase wear time over the first 1-2 weeks as your feet adapt to the orthotic support.
Slipping or feeling loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the footbed is clean and dry, as moisture can affect grip. If the issue persists, consider consulting the sizing guide or a professional.
Leather showing signs of wear
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather. Avoid over-saturation.
