FAQs
What is the heel height of the Charlie sandal?
The heel height is approximately 7.5 cm.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, it features integrated Vio Motion technology, which includes contoured arch support.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they are significantly more comfortable than standard heels due to shock absorption, they are intended primarily as dress shoes rather than for long-distance walking.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
Will the arch support feel different from regular shoes?
Yes, you may feel firm pressure under the arch; this is intentional to ensure proper foot alignment.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial wear
This is common when adjusting to orthotic support. Increase wear time gradually over 1-2 weeks.
Leather surface scuffing
Use a leather conditioner or cream matching the shoe color to buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sandals feature an orthopedic footbed, it is recommended to wear them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow your feet to adjust to the Vio Motion support. To clean the leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface debris and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid submerging the leather in water to maintain the integrity of the material and the adhesive construction of the footbed. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
