Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Brea sandal is designed for adult women seeking all-day comfort and stylish support. Its key benefit is the built-in Vio Motion Technology footbed, offering superior arch support and shock absorption, making it ideal for daily wear and can help alleviate pain from conditions like Plantar Fasciitis. A potential caveat is the recommendation to wear them for a few hours initially to allow feet to adapt to the new support system.

FAQs
Are the Vionic Brea sandals suitable for Plantar Fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Brea sandals feature built-in Vio Motion Technology with contoured arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, which is shown to be effective in helping to treat heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis. They have also received the APMA Seal of Acceptance.
How long does it take to break in these sandals?
It is recommended to wear new Vionic sandals for a few hours each day to allow your feet to adapt to the supportive footbed. This period can vary from a few days to a week or two, depending on individual foot sensitivity and wear frequency.
Can I wear these sandals with socks?
These sandals are designed to be worn with bare feet. The microfibre-covered footbed is intended to provide a smooth feel and enhance breathability. Wearing socks may alter the fit and effectiveness of the built-in orthotic support.
What materials are the Vionic Brea sandals made from?
The upper is typically made from premium leather or nubuck. The midsole is lightweight EVA, and the outsole is durable rubber. The footbed is covered in microfibre.
How should I clean my Vionic Brea sandals?
Clean the leather/nubuck upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a nubuck eraser or brush for nubuck. Wipe the footbed with a slightly damp cloth and allow the sandals to air dry completely. Avoid soaking.
What is the heel height of the Vionic Brea sandal?
The heel height is approximately 0.25 inches.
Do these sandals offer good traction?
Yes, they feature a durable rubber outsole designed to withstand everyday wear and provide reliable traction on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is expected during the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) daily and gradually increase the duration as your feet adjust to the arch support.
Straps feel too tight or loose
The elastic backstrap is designed to provide a secure fit. If the sandal feels consistently too tight or loose, consider if the sizing is correct or if a different Vionic model might be a better fit for your foot shape.
Footbed feels different from previous Vionic shoes
Vionic occasionally updates its Vio Motion Technology. While the core principles of support remain, there might be minor variations. Allow a short adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started:
It is recommended to wear your new Vionic Brea sandals for a few hours each day for the first week to allow your feet to adapt to the supportive footbed. Gradually increase wear time as your feet become accustomed to the orthotic technology.
Compatibility:
These sandals are designed for adult women and are generally compatible with casual and semi-casual outfits. The built-in orthotic design means they are not intended to be worn with custom orthotics or additional insoles unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Care Instructions:
- Upper (Leather/Nubuck): Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For nubuck, a nubuck eraser or brush can be used to maintain texture. Avoid soaking.
- Footbed: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the microfibre covering is not oversaturated.
- Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape.
