Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Alameda is a sophisticated Mary Jane-style flat designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and advanced orthotic support. Featuring VIO MOTION Technology, these leather shoes provide essential arch support, deep heel stability, and shock-absorbing cushioning, making them an excellent choice for individuals managing plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis; however, users should be aware that the leather construction requires a brief break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the VIO MOTION Technology includes arch support and a deep heel cup specifically designed to help alleviate heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?
The Alameda features a built-in footbed. It is generally recommended to use the provided Vionic technology for the best results, as the shoe is engineered around this specific support system.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away debris. If necessary, use a leather cleaner or conditioner recommended for soft leather products.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable strap provides some flexibility in the fit, though they are designed as a standard width shoe. If you have significant width concerns, we recommend trying them on while standing to gauge the forefoot room.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few wears
This is normal for orthotic footwear. Gradually increase wear time over a 7-day period to allow your feet to adjust to the alignment technology.
Strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook and loop closure. If it still does not fit correctly, check if you are wearing the appropriate sock thickness for your shoe fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Alameda shoes maintain their integrity and comfort, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear your new shoes for only a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the orthotic footbed and leather upper to adapt to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner suitable for the specific finish.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid submerging the shoes in water. If they become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or stuffing if you intend to store them for long periods to maintain their shape.
