Full details

FAQs
Can I add my own orthotic inserts?
The Gabriela features a built-in Vio Motion footbed which is designed to be the primary source of support. We do not recommend replacing it, as it may affect the fit and stability of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The snip-toe design is relatively slim. If you have wider feet, you may find the fit restrictive; consider trying them on with thin hosiery to gauge comfort.
How do I clean the red leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and maintain the color vibrancy.
What is the heel height?
The heel is 2.5 cm, providing a modest and stable lift suitable for all-day wear.
Does the elastic strap lose its stretch over time?
The backstrap is designed for durability; however, avoid over-stretching when putting on the shoes to ensure the elastic remains responsive.
Troubleshooting
Backstrap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the hidden gore under the elastic strap to find your preferred tension and fit.
Initial discomfort when walking
Vionic shoes are designed with corrective support; try wearing them for one to two hours a day for the first week to allow your arches to adapt.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Gently buff the area with a leather-safe cream or polish that matches the red finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your shoes, ensure the backstrap is comfortably adjusted using the hidden gore. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris after each use. If the leather becomes scuffed, apply a matching red leather conditioner sparingly. Avoid submerging these shoes in water, as excessive moisture can damage the structural integrity of the EVA midsole and the internal orthotic components. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking.
