FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the orthotic support makes them more comfortable for walking than standard ballet flats, though they are primarily intended for daily wear rather than athletic activity.
Can I remove the footbed to insert my own orthotics?
The Gracia flats are designed with a built-in footbed. Modifying the shoe is not recommended as it may alter the intended alignment and support.
How should I clean the woven leather?
Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive brushes which could snag the woven material.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard sizing, though the leather will slightly relax to the shape of your foot with consistent wear.
What is the benefit of the TPR outsole?
The Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) outsole is chosen for its durability, resistance to wear, and excellent grip on a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure in the arches during initial wear.
This is normal for the first few days. Continue the break-in process by wearing the shoes for shorter intervals until your feet adjust.
Leather surface appearing dull or dry.
Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness and shine of the woven leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your leather Vionic flats, it is recommended to use a soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the natural leather finish. For the best experience, wear your new shoes for only a few hours at a time during the first three to five days. This gradual approach allows your feet to adjust to the specific contours of the orthotic support. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; as these are a structural shoe, a proper fit is essential to keep the arch support positioned exactly where your foot needs it.
