Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Arabelle Trainers are designed for adult women who want a fusion of classic ballet aesthetics and orthopedic-grade comfort. They are ideal for individuals seeking all-day support for walking or casual wear, offering superior arch alignment and shock absorption in a feminine silhouette. While these trainers provide excellent stability, users should note that the lace-up design requires a manual fit adjustment compared to slip-on styles, and they are primarily intended for casual use rather than high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the built-in VIO MOTION technology provides the deep heel cup and arch support often recommended for those dealing with plantar fasciitis.
Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?
The footbed in the Arabelle is designed as part of the structural support system; removing it is not recommended as it will alter the stability provided by the shoe.
What is the heel height of this shoe?
The heel height is 1.125 inches with a platform height of 0.875 inches.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the shoes are made of leather and fabric, which are not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light drizzle.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing, though the contoured arch may make the fit feel more structured than flat shoes.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped at first.
Vionic shoes often require a short break-in period of 2-3 days to allow the orthotic footbed to mold to your arch.
Laces coming untied too easily.
Due to the ribbon material, use a double knot to ensure the laces stay secure throughout the day.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Expertly engineered orthotic support built into a stylish frame
- Deep heel cup offers excellent stability and prevents foot roll
- Lightweight construction prevents leg fatigue
- Versatile aesthetic suitable for both casual and smart-casual outfits
Cons
- Not suitable for high-intensity gym workouts or running
- Lace-up closure may be less convenient than slip-on alternatives
- Limited to casual style, lacking the heavy cushioning found in performance running shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the ribbon laces are adjusted to your foot width upon initial use to allow for easy entry without stressing the eyelets. These trainers are standard UK size 5, but because of the supportive footbed, they may feel snug compared to unlined canvas shoes.
Care instructions:
- Keep the leather and fabric upper clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
- Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the stability shank.
- Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Treat the leather sections with a suitable leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
