Product Information
Full details
The Vionic Gabriela is a sophisticated slingback dress shoe designed for adult women who need a fusion of professional style and orthopedic comfort. These heels excel at providing all-day wearability through built-in arch support and shock-absorbing cushioning, though users should note the modest 2.5 cm heel height is geared more toward comfort and stability than high-fashion elevation. Combining a chic snip toe with ruched leather detailing, this shoe is ideal for anyone seeking full-body alignment without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.

FAQs
Can I replace the insole?
The Gabriela features integrated Vio Motion technology, which is built into the shoe's construction. It is not designed to be replaced with custom orthotics.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The design features a flexible leather upper and adjustable gore strap, but it is standard width. It is recommended to try them on for an accurate fit.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather-safe cleaner for deeper stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What is the exact heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm, providing a subtle, comfortable lift.
Can I wear these for walking long distances?
While they are significantly more comfortable than standard heels due to the arch support and EVA cushioning, they are designed as dress shoes rather than athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Slingback strap slips off the heel
Adjust the hidden gore elastic to ensure it is sitting snugly against your heel. If it still slips, consider adding a discrete silicone heel grip.
Feeling pressure on the toes
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size. If the shoe feels tight, check if your foot has swollen due to heat and try wearing them during different parts of the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Gabriela pumps remain in peak condition, consider these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like many leather shoes, wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Leather Care: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For minor scuffs on the leather, use a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the snip toe and the backstrap.
- Moisture: Avoid submerging in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather or affect the shoe's structure.
