FAQs
How long does it typically take to break in the Vionic Brea Sandals?
It's generally recommended to wear new Vionic sandals for a few hours each day for about a week to allow your feet to adapt to the built-in orthotic support. Listen to your body and adjust wear time as needed.
Are these sandals good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Brea Sandals feature built-in VIO MOTION Technology with contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, which is specifically designed to help relieve heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. They have received the APMA Seal of Acceptance for promoting foot health.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the materials are durable, the Vionic Brea Sandals are not designed for prolonged water exposure. The leather upper and microfiber footbed are best kept dry. They are suitable for everyday wear but not for beach or swimming activities.
What is the heel height of the Vionic Brea Sandals?
The heel height is approximately 0.25 inches.
How do I clean the microfiber footbed?
Gently wipe the microfiber-covered footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the footbed, as this can damage the material and the supportive structure.
Do Vionic Brea Sandals come in wide widths?
Vionic offers various models, and some may be available in wide widths. It is advisable to check the specific product listing or Vionic's official website for availability of wide-fit options.
What is the warranty for Vionic sandals?
Vionic typically offers a limited warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. For specific warranty details, please refer to the warranty information provided by the retailer or on the official Vionic website.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or arch pressure
This is often due to the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as your feet adjust to the VIO MOTION Technology. Stretching exercises for the feet may also help.
Sandal feels too loose or slips
Ensure the elastic backstrap is providing a snug fit. If the sandal still feels loose, it might be the wrong size or width. Consider trying a different size or a wide-fit option if available.
Footbed feels hard
The EVA midsole is designed to absorb shock, which can initially feel firm. With continued wear, the footbed will mold slightly to your foot, providing comfort. Avoid using insoles as they can interfere with the built-in orthotic support.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the type of leather to clean and restore the appearance. For stubborn marks, a leather eraser might be effective.
