Product Information

Full details

The Vionic Gabriela is designed for adult women who require a sophisticated dress shoe without sacrificing anatomical support. Featuring the brand's proprietary Vio Motion technology, these leather heels provide essential arch support and alignment benefits for those prone to foot fatigue; however, users should be aware that the modest 2.5 cm heel may not provide the lift sought by fans of traditional high-stiletto footwear.

FAQs

What is the heel height of the Gabriela?

The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm, providing a low, stable lift suitable for all-day wear.

Is the footbed removable?

No, the Vio Motion technology is built into the construction of the shoe for permanent support and alignment.

Are these shoes suitable for orthotics?

The Gabriela features built-in arch support, so most users find they do not need additional orthotics.

What material are these shoes made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, and the midsole is made from flexible EVA.

How do I maintain the red leather colour?

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive water. Use a red-specific leather cream or neutral leather conditioner to keep the colour vibrant.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels slightly cramped at the start

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them with thin socks at home for 30 minutes at a time to help the leather soften and mold to your foot shape.

Heel strap feels too loose

Ensure the hidden gore is not bunched up. Adjust the placement of the elastic strap slightly higher or lower on your heel to find a secure tension point.

Surface scuffing on leather

Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the vibrant red finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gabriela heels, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Vionic footwear features built-in orthotic support. If you are new to Vionic, wear them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the arch support.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Use a quality leather conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the material.
  3. Fit Adjustment: Utilize the hidden gore within the backstrap if you find the fit too loose or tight around the heel; slight adjustments can be made by positioning the strap appropriately during daily wear.
  4. Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
