FAQs
What is the heel height of the Charlie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 7.5 cm.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they feature Vio Motion technology for superior comfort compared to standard heels, they are primarily designed as dress sandals rather than walking shoes.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most high-quality leather footwear, the material may soften and conform to your foot shape slightly over time with regular wear.
Can I replace the footbed with my own custom orthotics?
The Vio Motion technology is built directly into the footbed for optimal alignment; replacing it may compromise the intended stability of the shoe.
How do I maintain the animal print pattern?
Keep the leather clean and conditioned, and avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces that could scratch the print.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Vionic Charlie series is designed with a standard fit, but the flexible EVA midsole provides a more accommodating feel than rigid plastic-soled pumps.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure in the arch
This is normal if you are new to Vionic footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the corrective support.
Surface scuffing on leather
Gently buff the area with a leather-specific cream or conditioner matching the shoe's tone to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are precision-engineered shoes, Vionic recommends wearing them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the orthotic support. For maintenance, clean the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Use a leather-appropriate conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the material and keep the animal print looking vibrant.
