FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Uptown features Vio Motion technology with a deep heel cup and contoured arch support, which are specifically designed to help alleviate heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Vionic Uptown includes a removable EVA cushioned insole, allowing you to swap it for a custom orthotic if required.
How do I pack these shoes for travel?
These shoes are deconstructed, meaning they are designed to collapse flat. Simply fold them carefully and place them in your luggage; they take up significantly less space than standard structured loafers.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm.
Is the material waterproof?
The Vionic Uptown is made of soft, unlined leather and is not treated as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather.
Do I need to size up for the arch support?
No, you should order your standard UK shoe size. The arch support is built into the footbed and does not change the internal length of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure in the arch area
This is normal during the initial 1-2 week break-in period as your foot adjusts to the orthotic support. Wear them for 2-3 hours at a time until comfortable.
Insole sliding or bunching
Ensure the removable EVA insole is pushed firmly into the heel cup and sits flush against the bottom of the shoe.
Leather looks dry
Use a high-quality leather conditioner designed for soft leathers to maintain the material's suppleness and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Vionic Uptown shoes, follow these recommendations:
Initial Adaptation: It is highly recommended to wear these shoes for limited periods during the first 1-2 weeks. This allows your feet to acclimate to the corrective arch support.
Maintenance:
- Clean the leather uppers using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for soft, unlined leather.
- The removable EVA insole can be taken out and air-dried if it becomes damp, but avoid machine washing the shoes as it may compromise the material integrity.
Storage: While the shoes are designed to pack flat, avoid placing heavy items directly on top of the structure for extended periods when storing long-term to maintain the shape of the heel counter.
