Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Uptown Trainers are designed for active adults who require reliable arch support without sacrificing modern style. These trainers utilize Vio Motion Technology to provide long-lasting comfort, making them an excellent choice for individuals managing plantar fasciitis or those who spend significant time on their feet. While the leather construction ensures durability and a sophisticated look, users should note that as with most structured orthotic footwear, there may be a brief adjustment period to get used to the deep heel cup and arch support.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Uptown series is specifically designed with Vio Motion Technology to provide the arch support and heel stability often recommended for plantar fasciitis relief.
Can I remove the insole to use my own custom orthotics?
The Vio Motion technology is built into the construction of the shoe, so it is designed to be used as-is for optimal performance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather is durable and water-resistant to minor splashes, they are not classified as waterproof shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The Uptown trainers are designed to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK adult shoe size.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the orthotic components. Stick to hand-cleaning with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area when first wearing
This is common with proper orthotic support. Wear them in short bursts of 1-2 hours daily until your feet adapt to the alignment.
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a clean cloth with a tiny amount of mild leather cleaner to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Vionic Uptown Trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Wear: It is recommended to wear your new Vionic trainers for only a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the orthotic support.
- Care Instructions: As these feature a leather upper, wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the leather finish.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to hold your midfoot securely without causing pressure points. The size 8 UK fit is standard for this model, but consider using thin athletic socks for the best performance results.
