FAQs
What is the heel height of the Charlie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 7.5 cm.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are engineered with Vio Motion technology specifically to provide comfort during extended periods of wear.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Does the arch support work for flat feet?
Yes, the Vionic arch support is designed to provide stability and alignment for various foot types, including flat feet.
Can I replace the insole with my own?
The Vionic Charlie is designed with a specific contoured footbed; replacing it with a third-party insert may compromise the shoe's alignment benefits.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure under the arch
This is likely the Vionic arch support adjusting to your foot; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours a day to let your feet acclimate to the proper alignment.
Slight slippage in the heel area
Ensure the straps are fastened snugly and consider using a heel grip insert if necessary.
Leather feels stiff initially
Use a professional leather softening spray or wear the shoes with thicker socks for short periods at home to gently stretch the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Vionic Charlie uses premium leather, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner periodically to maintain its suppleness. To break in the shoes, wear them for short durations indoors before transitioning to full-day use. If you have custom orthotics, note that the insole is designed specifically for Vionic's biomechanical shape; removing it may alter the intended fit and support structure. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
