Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Gretchen Boots are designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, knee-high silhouette without sacrificing orthopedic support. These boots are ideal for individuals who require all-day comfort for walking or standing, thanks to the integrated Vio Motion Technology that promotes alignment from the ground up. While they offer exceptional arch support and cushioning, users should note that the 1.75-inch heel height may not be suitable for those strictly requiring flat footwear for medical reasons.

FAQs
Are the insoles removable?
The Vio Motion Technology is typically integrated into the footbed design, providing consistent, built-in support.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
What is the total height of the heel?
The boot features a 1.75-inch heel with a 1.125-inch platform, providing a comfortable, slight elevation.
How do I measure for the calf fit?
The back gore panel is designed to provide some flexibility, fitting a standard range of calf widths comfortably.
Do these boots run true to size?
Vionic footwear generally follows standard sizing; however, since these are leather, they may stretch slightly over time to accommodate your foot.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; you can lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Leather surface shows scuffs or light scratches
Apply a leather-matching cream polish or a neutral leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.
Feeling of discomfort during break-in period
Wear the boots for short periods at home initially to allow the leather to soften and the arch support to conform to your specific foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Gretchen boots last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since they are made of premium leather, it is recommended to use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal performance, wear them with thin to medium-weight socks to ensure the gore panel provides the intended snug fit.
