Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Walk Quest Trainers are designed for active adults who prioritize podiatric health and comfort during daily movement, from urban commuting to light hiking. Featuring advanced VIO MOTION Technology, these trainers provide exceptional alignment and shock absorption, making them a top choice for those managing plantar fasciitis; however, users should note that the orthotic-style support may require a brief adjustment period for feet unaccustomed to structural arch contouring.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, they feature a deep heel cup and contoured arch support specifically designed to help alleviate the symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis.
Can I remove the insoles to use my own orthotics?
The Walk Quest features built-in VIO MOTION technology; generally, the insoles are engineered to work with the shoe's internal geometry and may not be designed for removal.
Are these suitable for running?
These are categorized as walking trainers and are best suited for walking, hiking, and daily activity rather than high-impact road running.
How do I know my size?
The Walk Quest is sized to standard UK adult dimensions. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure adequate room for toe movement.
Are they waterproof?
The sneakers are designed for breathability and are not marketed as waterproof or water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of 'pressure' under the arch during first use
This is normal for Vionic orthotic footwear. Gradually increase wear time over 1-2 weeks to allow your arches to acclimate.
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Check your lacing tension. If discomfort persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks rather than very thick wool variants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear these trainers for only a few hours at a time during the first week of use, allowing your feet to adapt to the orthotic arch support. For sizing, the UK 8 fits true to size for standard adult feet; ensure you wear the same thickness of socks you plan to use for exercise.
Care Instructions:
