Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Gracia ballet flats are designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated balance between refined aesthetics and orthotic support. Featuring a stylish woven leather finish, these flats provide all-day comfort thanks to their engineered footbed, making them ideal for work or casual outings. A notable caveat is that users accustomed to standard flats may require a brief "break-in" period of a few hours of wear over the first several days to fully acclimate to the corrective arch support.

FAQs
Do I need to buy special insoles for these?
No, the Vionic Gracia flats come with built-in orthotic support specifically designed for the shoe's structure.
Can I wear these for walking long distances?
They are designed for all-day wear and daily activity, though they are categorized as fashion flats rather than dedicated walking or athletic shoes.
How should I clean the woven leather?
Gently wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking the leather, as excess moisture can affect the shape and texture of the woven material.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to standard UK sizing for adult female footwear.
Why is there a break-in period?
The supportive arch is firmer than traditional flat-soled shoes; your feet need time to adapt to the improved alignment and arch position.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
This is common for those new to orthotic footwear. Increase wear time gradually over 3-5 days.
Dust accumulating in woven texture
Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to safely remove debris from between the woven leather strips.
Leather looks dull
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner suitable for metallic or finished leathers to restore the sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Gracia flats maintain their appearance and functionality, follow these care steps:
- Initial Wear: Start with 2-3 hour increments during the first week to allow your arches to adjust to the orthotic support.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the woven leather. For deeper stains, use a leather-specific cleaner applied to a damp cloth, gently dabbing the affected area rather than scrubbing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Compatibility: These shoes are designed as true-to-size; however, because they contain built-in support, they are not intended to be paired with aftermarket orthotic inserts.
