What size should I order?
View our helpful Shoe Size Conversion Guide.
For sandals only available in whole sizes, we recommend sizing down to the nearest whole size if you wear a half size. For example, if you typically wear a size 7.5, order a size 7 sandal.
Is there a break-in period for your shoes?
In these cases, for the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new Vionic footwear for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support. Within one to two weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive.

What is the difference between a footbed and an insole/orthotic?
Insoles provide some degree of shock absorption, but more importantly they are functional and are designed to help you reclaim your footprint by supporting natural alignment from the ground up. Some footbeds also feature an arch support; however, quality insoles such as Orthaheel do a lot more than just support the arches.
For additional information about our insoles, please visit our Insoles Guide.
Who can benefit from wearing insoles and why?
These persons in particular can benefit greatly from wearing insoles:
Those over 50: As we get older, the muscles and ligaments in the foot become weaker, as do the bones due to calcium reduction. In addition, the fatty padding under the foot thins out, which means less protection and cushioning for the bones, in particular the heel bone. Fallen arches combined with thinning fat tissue are a recipe for foot problems. Heel spurs are the most common foot complaints for those over 50.
People who are on their feet all day: Factory workers, nurses, teachers, people in retail and many other industries are required to stand on their feet for hours each day. Hard, unforgiving surfaces like concrete and asphalt take their toll after prolonged standing even for young and healthy people! Most common complaints are tired, aching feet and legs as well as low back pain. Women who are required to wear dress shoes with heels (e.g., in retail or hospitality) often suffer from pain under the ball of foot (metatarsalgia) and/or aching legs.
Runners & athletes: Because athletes put so much strain on their muscles and bones and ground reaction forces are much higher (up to 4 times the body weight), biomechanical injuries are more the rule than the exception. Insoles play a major role in preventing sports injuries such as Achilles Tendonitis, shin splints and problems in and around the knee joint. Plus, running pain-free enables any athlete to perform better!
High-heel wearers: Most women know that high heels are not good for their feet, however many women do wear them. Common symptoms occurring from wearing high heels are pain in the back of the legs (and shortening of the calf muscles over the long term), ball of foot pain, pain under the arch and the heel. Vionic Slimfit insoles are specifically designed to reduce discomfort associated by heeled shoes and sandals.
Pregnant or overweight people: Excess weight worsens the effects of excess pronation and its related pains. Proper alignment and support are crucial for those carrying additional weight, which creates additional forces on the feet, ankles, knees and back.
What are Vionic insoles made of and how long will they last?
The key advantage of EVA is that it is supportive and 'giving' at the same time! As you apply weight to the foot, there is a certain amount of 'give' in Vionic insoles and sandals, providing shock absorption to the feet, ankles, knees, hips and back. This makes the device much more comfortable and more natural compared to hard insoles. Yet, at the same time, they are firm enough to realign the foot and allow you to claim back your natural footprint.
Because Vionic insoles and sandals are somewhat flexible, they will need to be replaced every 12-18 months. Older people or those with sensitive feet will benefit from a softer type of orthotic such as Vionic, as they may have difficulty tolerating anything hard under the foot.
How long does it take to get used to Vionic insoles and footwear?
For the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new Vionic footwear for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support.
Within one to two weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive.
Are insoles covered under the 30 day guarantee?
Do insoles qualify for HSA/FSA use?
CLEANING AND CARE
How do I clean my sandals, shoes or orthotics?
We DO NOT recommend the following:
- Submerging in water or using solvents to clean products.
- Exposing products to extreme temperatures.
- Commercial dry cleaning or home wash/dry laundry machines.
How do you recommend eliminating sandal odor?
Preventative measures are best here. But in the event that you do find your sandals have taken on an odor, we recommend giving the footbeds a good scrub with a mild soap diluted in warm water. Be sure to let your shoes air dry naturally. Do not place them near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
Do you recommend anything for blisters or chafing?
What do you recommend for squeaky footwear?
Locate the area of the shoe where the squeak is coming from. Lift the orthotic and sprinkle baby powder or baking soda inside this area. Leave the powder inside and insert the orthotic back into the shoe. Let the shoe set overnight.
