Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vio-Motion technology features a deep heel cup and arch support specifically designed to help alleviate heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis.
Can I replace the insole with my own custom orthotics?
The loafers feature a removable EVA cushioned insole, which allows you to replace it with your own custom orthotic inserts if desired.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or fully soaking the shoes.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Vionic shoes are generally designed for a standard fit, but because they are unlined, they offer a slightly more flexible feel than structured dress shoes.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1.12 inches, providing a subtle lift without sacrificing stability.
Are these shoes vegan?
No, the upper is constructed from real leather, though the outsole is made from sustainable synthetic rubber.
Troubleshooting
Feeling initial discomfort or pressure under the arch
This is common for those new to orthotic support. Limit your wear time to 1-2 hours per day until your feet adapt, typically over 1-2 weeks.
Loafers feel loose after packing
Check that the removable EVA insole is seated correctly in the heel cup; ensure it is pushed all the way to the back of the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Contoured arch support helps alleviate heel pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis.
- Highly portable, packable design for travel convenience.
- Soft, unlined leather requires minimal break-in time.
- Includes shock-absorbing technology for reduced joint fatigue.
- Sustainable material usage in the outsole construction.
Cons
- Requires an adjustment period of 1-2 weeks for feet to adapt to the orthotic support.
- Not suitable for heavy-duty outdoor hiking or rugged terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, Vionic recommends wearing your new loafers for only a few hours during the first week to allow your feet to gradually adapt to the contoured support. Within 1-2 weeks of consistent wear, your feet should fully acclimate to the orthotic alignment.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the leather upper clean by wiping it gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the leather.
- If the EVA insole becomes soiled, remove it and clean it separately with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the shape of the loafers.
