FAQs

Is the Vionic Gabriela suitable for wide feet?

The elastic backstrap provides some flexibility, but the snip toe design is tailored for standard widths. If you have very wide feet, you may find the toe box restrictive.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

The Vio Motion technology is built into the shoe construction for optimal alignment and is generally not designed to be removed or replaced.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm, providing a subtle lift suitable for all-day comfort.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they are crafted from leather and are not waterproof. They should be kept away from heavy rain or water puddles.

How should I store these shoes to maintain their shape?

Store them in a cool, dry place using shoe trees or the original box to prevent the leather from sagging or losing its shape.

Troubleshooting

Backstrap feels too tight or digs into the heel

Adjust the hidden gore to find the correct tension. If discomfort persists, consider using a leather-safe anti-friction stick on the heel.

Arch support feels unusually prominent

This is normal for Vio Motion technology. Limit initial wear to 1-2 hours per day until your arches acclimate to the support.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface

Use a matching red leather polish or a neutral leather cream to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Podiatrist-designed orthotic support built into the footbed
  • Versatile design suitable for professional and formal environments
  • Adjustable backstrap accommodates different foot shapes
  • Low heel height minimizes strain compared to traditional pumps

Cons

  • Leather material is sensitive to harsh weather conditions
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic style due to ruched detailing
  • Requires a break-in period for the arch support to feel fully natural

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by wearing your Vionic Gabriela heels for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the orthotic support. Because these are made from genuine leather, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or mud. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for fine footwear. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading. Ensure the elastic backstrap is not overstretched during storage by keeping the shoes in their original box or using a dedicated shoe rack.
