FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
The Pilar series is built with an integrated Vio Motion Technology footbed. It is designed to work as a complete system and is not intended for replacement with secondary insoles.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather material.
What is the heel height of the Pilar loafer?
The shoe features a heel height of 0.875 inches and a platform height of 0.25 inches.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, Vio Motion Technology is specifically engineered to provide contoured, podiatrist-designed arch support.
How do I determine my size?
Vionic shoes are generally true to size. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker socks, consider trying the half-size up.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is constructed from durable TPR (thermoplastic rubber) for better grip and long-lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial use
This is common with orthotic-supported footwear. Limit wear time to 2-3 hours for the first few days to allow the foot and the material to adjust.
Stiff leather feel
Gently flex the shoes by hand and wear them with socks for short periods at home to soften the leather fibers.
Minor scuffing on leather
Use a leather conditioner or a soft cloth with a leather-appropriate cleaning cream to buff out small scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Vionic Pilar includes built-in orthotic support, it is recommended to wear these shoes for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the alignment technology. For cleaning, wipe the leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and affect the integrity of the footbed. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from drying out or cracking over time.
