Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Arabelle Trainers are designed for active women who refuse to sacrifice style for comfort. These trainers are ideal for those who spend significant time on their feet and require orthotic-grade support to maintain natural body alignment. While they provide excellent structural benefits, users should note that the ballet-inspired aesthetic and ribbon laces offer a unique style that may feel dressier than traditional athletic sneakers.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes good for walking long distances?
Yes, the VIO MOTION technology is designed to support the foot during extended walking periods by reducing stress on the joints.
Can I remove the insole to use my own custom orthotics?
The Arabelle trainer is designed with a built-in footbed; removing it may affect the structural integrity and fit of the shoe.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they offer a contoured fit, you should ensure they feel snug but not restrictive across the midfoot.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal components and the shape of the trainer. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Are the ribbon laces functional?
Yes, the ribbon laces are fully functional and allow you to adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot for a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight after long periods of wear
Loosen the ribbon laces slightly mid-day to accommodate natural foot swelling.
Trainer feels stiff out of the box
Wear them indoors for short durations to allow the materials to soften and the footbed to conform to your arch.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Orthotic-grade arch support reduces foot pain
- Feminine, sophisticated design works for casual or semi-casual settings
- Excellent stability provided by the deep heel cup
- Lightweight feel thanks to the EVA midsole construction
Cons
- Ribbon laces may require double-knotting to stay secure
- Less breathable than pure mesh athletic trainers
- Not intended for high-intensity gym workouts or running
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vionic Arabelle Trainers, we recommend a brief 'break-in' period of 1-2 hours per day for the first week to allow the orthotic footbed to adjust to your unique foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Keep away from direct heat sources to prevent the EVA midsole from warping.
- For stubborn stains on the cotton material, use a mild fabric cleaner and allow to air dry naturally in a shaded area.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the integrity of the stability shank.
