Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Bolinas sandals are designed for adult women seeking a blend of modern style and essential foot support. Their key benefit is the built-in VIO MOTION Technology, which provides contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, and stability for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is the 3.25-inch heel height, which may require adjustment for those unaccustomed to elevated footwear. These sandals feature a contemporary block heel, a platform for added comfort, and a durable construction suitable for everyday wear.

FAQs
What makes the VIO MOTION Technology beneficial?
VIO MOTION Technology integrates contoured arch support, shock-absorbing cushioning, a deep heel cup for stability, and forefoot flexibility. This combination aims to reduce fatigue, improve alignment, and enhance overall comfort for extended wear.
How do I clean and maintain the waxed suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Applying a suede protector spray is recommended to prevent damage from water and stains.
What is the heel height and platform height of the Bolinas sandals?
The sandals have an approximate heel height of 3.25 inches (8 cm) and a platform height of 0.75 inches (2 cm).
Are these sandals suitable for people with plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the built-in contoured arch support and shock-absorbing features of Vionic footwear, including the Bolinas, are often beneficial for individuals experiencing plantar fasciitis.
Can I wear these sandals for long walks or hiking?
While the Bolinas offer excellent support and cushioning for daily wear, they are not designed for long-distance walking or hiking. They are best suited for casual wear and standing.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of Thermoplastic Rubber (TR), which offers durability and good traction.
Do these sandals require a break-in period?
Some users may find a short break-in period beneficial, especially if they are new to supportive footwear. Wearing them for gradually increasing periods can help your feet adjust for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them for short periods to allow for a slight break-in. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down if available.
Arch support feels too pronounced
This is a common adjustment for new users of supportive footwear. Wear the sandals for gradually increasing periods each day to allow your feet to adapt. If discomfort continues, consult the Vionic support resources.
Suede material getting wet or stained
Immediately blot any liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Applying a suede protector spray beforehand can help prevent future stains.
Heel feels unstable
Ensure the heel is fully on the ground and you are walking naturally. The block heel is designed for stability, but unfamiliarity with the height may cause initial adjustment. Ensure the shoe fits correctly; a poorly fitting shoe can impact stability.
