FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vio Motion technology footbed is specifically designed to provide the arch support and heel stability needed to help alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis.
How long should I break in the shoes?
We recommend wearing them for a few hours at a time, gradually increasing duration until you reach full comfort, usually within 1-2 weeks.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, these loafers feature a removable lightweight EVA cushioned insole.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Uptown Loafer is approximately 3 cm.
Are these machine washable?
No, they are made of premium leather and should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth instead of being machine washed.
Are they true to size?
Vionic shoes are designed with standard adult sizing; ensure you are referencing the UK size conversion provided in the product specifications.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too firm or uncomfortable initially
This is normal for orthotic footwear; wear them for short periods over 1-2 weeks to allow your feet to adapt.
Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe
Utilize the integrated back pull tab to provide leverage and prevent damage to the heel counter.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a gentle leather conditioner or a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to buff out minor marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, start by wearing your Vionic Uptown shoes for only a few hours at a time during the first week. This allows the footbed to conform to your unique arch and gait pattern. The shoes are crafted from premium leather, so it is recommended to treat them with a leather protector spray to maintain the finish and protect against moisture. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as these may damage the soft leather upper and the integrity of the orthotic footbed.
