FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While made of durable leather, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Avoid deep puddles and treat with a leather protector spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.
Can I remove the insoles?
Vionic boots feature VIO MOTION Technology integrated into the footbed; it is generally recommended to keep the original insole for the intended orthopedic benefit.
What is the heel height?
The Vionic Gretchen boots feature a 1.75-inch heel.
How do I determine if these will fit my calves?
The boots include a back gore panel for extra stretch. We recommend measuring the thickest part of your calf and comparing it to standard boot size charts if available.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Vionic designs often accommodate a variety of foot shapes, but these are standard width. The soft leather upper will soften and mold slightly to your foot shape over time.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the boot fully
Ensure the calf is positioned correctly and use the back gore panel's stretch. If the fit remains too tight, avoid forcing the zipper to prevent track damage.
Leather appearing dull
Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish suitable for brown leather to restore moisture and shine.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by trapped moisture or friction between the footbed and the sole. Try removing the insert, wiping it clean, and ensuring the interior is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vionic Gretchen boots in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first trying them on, ensure the zipper is fully unzipped to avoid putting excess strain on the hardware. To maintain the leather, clean periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt and use a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Store the boots in a cool, dry place and use boot trees to help maintain the shaft shape. If the boots become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bond between the midsole and upper.
