Full details

FAQs
What is VIO MOTION Technology?
VIO MOTION Technology is Vionic's exclusive system designed to support natural alignment and full-body balance. It incorporates contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, a deep heel cup for stability, and forefoot flexibility into the footbed.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Essie sandals feature three points of adjustability with hook-and-loop closures, which can help accommodate different foot widths. However, the overall fit may depend on individual foot shape.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to Vionic's sizing guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. If you are between sizes, consider your typical shoe fit and the product's specific characteristics.
Can I wear these sandals for long walks?
Yes, the Essie sandals are designed for all-day comfort and support, making them suitable for long walks and extended periods of wear due to their biomechanically engineered footbed.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm (about 1.2 inches).
How should I clean the nubuck upper?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first and following the cleaner's instructions. Avoid getting the nubuck wet.
Do these sandals offer good grip?
The sandals feature a Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) sole, which is designed to provide reliable traction for everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Straps do not feel secure enough.
Re-adjust the hook-and-loop closures, ensuring they are pressed firmly. If the hook-and-loop is worn out, consider the product's warranty or replacement options.
Initial discomfort or pressure points.
This is common as the VIO MOTION Technology footbed conforms to your foot. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the strap adjustments are not too tight.
Nubuck material appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, consult a nubuck cleaning guide or product specifically designed for nubuck leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping sensation on the footbed.
Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. If the issue persists and is due to excessive sweating, consider using a thin, absorbent sock liner if appropriate for the sandal style and personal preference.
