FAQs
What makes Vionic Essie Sandals different from regular sandals?
The Vionic Essie Sandals feature built-in Vio Motion Technology, which includes advanced arch support, cushioning, and a stabilizing heel cup. This is designed to promote natural alignment and balance, unlike most fashion sandals that offer little to no support.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
Yes, the supportive design and cushioning make them suitable for walking significant distances. The emphasis on alignment and shock absorption helps reduce fatigue associated with prolonged walking.
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made of a soft microfiber material, designed for comfort and to work with the Vio Motion Technology features.
Can I wear these if I have plantar fasciitis?
Many users with plantar fasciitis find relief and comfort with Vionic footwear due to the significant arch support and alignment features. However, individual results may vary, and it's always best to consult with a podiatrist.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to Vionic's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Given the specific nature of the arch support, it's also recommended to read customer reviews regarding sizing or try them on if possible.
What is the heel height of the Essie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm (about 1.2 inches).
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the Vionic Essie Sandals are not waterproof. They are made from materials like nubuck and leather, which should be kept dry to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or arch pressure during initial wear.
This is common as your feet adjust to the built-in arch support. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) daily and gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists after a week or two, consult a healthcare professional.
Sandals feel slightly loose or too tight in the straps.
The asymmetrical straps are designed for a specific fit. Ensure you have the correct size. If the straps feel too loose, they may not offer enough security. If too tight, they can cause irritation. Consider trying a half-size up or down if available.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the footbed and the sole, or between the sandal and the floor. Ensure the footbed is dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the sole might help. Check that the sole is free from debris.
