FAQs
What is Vio Motion technology?
It is a proprietary system integrated into Vionic footwear that features contoured arch support, deep heel cups, and cushioned outsoles to promote natural alignment.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they provide superior comfort compared to standard heels due to the EVA midsole and arch support, they are designed primarily for dress and light walking rather than long-distance athletic activity.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical dress shoe size, noting that the supportive footbed may initially make the shoe feel more snug than non-orthotic brands.
Can the insoles be removed?
The Vio Motion footbed is typically integrated into the shoe design to maintain proper alignment and is not intended to be removed or replaced.
How high is the heel?
The heel height on the Charlie model is approximately 7.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure in the arch area.
This is normal for Vionic footwear as the arch support is corrective. Limit wear to a few hours per day for the first week until your foot adapts.
Leather surface shows minor scuffing.
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or a leather-specific cream to buff out minor marks and keep the material supple.

- EVA midsole effectively absorbs shock during movement.
- Sophisticated leather construction elevates formal wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Vionic Charlie heels, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather and animal print. Since these shoes are made of leather, avoid submerging them in water. If they become dirty, wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. For those new to Vionic orthotic footwear, it is recommended to wear the shoes for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the corrective arch support. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they can fit within the shoe's volume, though the built-in technology is designed to be sufficient for most users.
