Full details
The Vionic Uptown Boat Shoe is an ideal choice for adult men seeking a blend of laid-back sophistication and serious orthopedic support. These leather low-top shoes are designed for individuals who need all-day comfort during relaxed weekends, coastal outings, or casual social events, though the structured arch support may require a brief break-in period for those unaccustomed to corrective footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the VIO MOTION technology is specifically designed to provide stability and support, making them much better for walking than traditional flat boat shoes.
Can I wash the leather upper in a washing machine?
No, you should never put leather shoes in a washing machine. Clean them by hand using appropriate leather care products.
How high is the heel?
The heel height for the Uptown Boat Shoe is 1.37 inches.
Can I replace the provided insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The shoes are designed based on standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to ensure you have the correct width fit, though these are designed to provide a secure, comfortable hold.
Troubleshooting
Arch support feels uncomfortable at first
This is normal for new Vionic wearers. Wear the shoes for a few hours at a time over the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the alignment.
Footbed feels damp
Remove the EVA insole and allow it to dry in a well-ventilated area outside of the shoe.
Leather looks dull
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature a removable EVA footbed, you can easily integrate custom orthotics if preferred. To keep the leather looking its best, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure the interior is kept clean by occasionally removing the EVA footbed and allowing it to air out. If the footbed becomes compressed over time, it is fully removable for easy replacement with a fresh pair of Vionic inserts.
