FAQs
Are these shoes good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vio Motion technology is specifically designed with arch support and a deep heel cup to help alleviate heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
The Vionic Uptown Loafers come with a removable EVA cushioned insole. You can remove it to replace it with a custom orthotic if desired.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid soaking the leather, and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Are these loafers waterproof?
These loafers are made from soft leather and are not intended to be waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 3 cm.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels sore after the first wear
This is common for orthotic footwear. Transition gradually by wearing the shoes for 2-3 hours a day for the first week until your feet adapt.
Insole sliding during wear
Ensure the EVA insole is pushed firmly into the heel cup and sits flat against the base of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vionic Uptown Loafers last, follow these guidelines for care and integration:
- Adaptation: Wear your new shoes for just a few hours at a time during the first week. This allows the footbed to adapt to your arch profile without causing discomfort.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For tough spots, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for soft leather.
- Insole Maintenance: If the EVA insole becomes soiled, remove it from the shoe and gently hand wash with mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Keep the loafers in a cool, dry place. Because of the packable design, avoid placing heavy items on top of them during long-term storage to maintain the shape of the leather.
