Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Brea sandal is designed for adult women seeking stylish comfort and advanced foot support. Its key benefit lies in the built-in Vio-Motion Technology footbed, which offers contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, and stability to help alleviate foot pain associated with conditions like Plantar Fasciitis. A potential caveat is the initial break-in period required for feet to adapt to the new support system. This sandal features a premium leather or nubuck upper, a durable rubber outsole, a flexible EVA midsole, and a microfibre-covered footbed for enhanced breathability.

How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary but generally lasts from a few days to two weeks of consistent, but gradually increasing, wear.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

Can I wear these if I have Plantar Fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Brea sandals feature built-in orthotics with contoured arch support that is clinically shown to be effective in helping treat heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis.
What is the heel height of the Brea sandal?
The heel height is approximately 0.25 inches.
How do I clean the microfibre footbed?
Gently wipe the microfibre footbed with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The Vionic Brea sandals are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from leather/nubuck and rubber and should be kept away from excessive moisture.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It signifies that the APMA has found the product to be safe and beneficial for foot health when used as directed.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too firm or uncomfortable initially.
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short intervals (1-2 hours) per day, gradually increasing wear time as your feet adjust to the support.
Arch support feels misaligned.
Ensure the sandal is the correct size and that your heel is seated properly in the deep heel cup. Adjust the straps if applicable for a secure fit.
Leather or nubuck upper shows signs of wear or staining.
Use appropriate leather or nubuck cleaning and conditioning products. For stains, address them promptly with a cleaner suitable for the material.
Footbed feels slippery.
Ensure the microfibre footbed is dry. If the issue persists, a light dusting of cornstarch might help, but consult Vionic's care guidelines first.
