FAQs
How long does it typically take to break in Vionic Brea sandals?
Most users find that wearing the sandals for a few hours a day over the course of 1-2 weeks is sufficient for their feet to adapt to the Vio-Motion Technology. Listen to your body and adjust wear time as needed.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
This specific model may not be explicitly wide-fit. Vionic offers some styles in wide widths. Please check the product details or look for 'Wide Fit' in the product title for specific wide options. The 'Brea Wide Fit Arch Support Slingback Sandals - Beige - Size UK 4' is an example of a wide-fit option.
Can I wear these sandals if I have Plantar Fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Brea sandals feature built-in orthotic technology, including contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, which is clinically shown to be effective in helping treat heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the leather. For everyday cleaning, a soft, dry cloth can be used to wipe away dust and light dirt.
What is the heel height of the Brea sandals?
The heel height is approximately 0.25 inches, providing a slight lift without compromising stability or comfort.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The Vionic Brea sandals are not designed to be waterproof. While the materials can withstand light moisture, they should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain.
What is the warranty period for Vionic sandals?
Vionic typically offers a limited warranty on their products. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the Vionic official website or by contacting their customer service.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or arch soreness
This is normal during the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations (1-2 hours) daily and gradually increase wear time as your feet adapt to the orthotic support.
Slipping sensation on the footbed
Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. The microfiber material can become slippery if exposed to excessive moisture. If the issue persists, consider if the sandal size is appropriate.
Backstrap feels too tight
The elastic backstrap is designed for a secure fit. With continued wear, the elastic may relax slightly. If it remains uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size and width.
Sandals making squeaking noises
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the footbed and the sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the footbed or on the sole to reduce noise.
