FAQ
How should I break in these sneakers?
It’s recommended to wear your new Vionic Darcy sneakers for a few hours initially to allow your feet to adapt to the new support system. Gradually increase wearing time over several days to ensure optimal comfort and proper adjustment to the arch support technology.
Are these shoes suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes, the Vionic Darcy sneaker is designed with features that benefit individuals with plantar fasciitis. The contoured arch support and deep heel cup help distribute pressure evenly, while the APMA Seal of Acceptance indicates podiatric medical association approval for promoting foot health.
What makes the VIO MOTION Technology special?
VIO MOTION Technology represents Vionic’s exclusive alignment system that balances the entire body through proper foot positioning. The technology combines contoured arch support, strategic cushioning, and biomechanical design to promote natural gait and reduce stress on feet, knees, and back.
Can I wear these sneakers for running?
While the Darcy sneaker provides excellent support for walking and daily activities, it’s primarily designed as a walking shoe rather than a running sneaker. For high-impact activities like running, Vionic offers specific running models with additional features tailored for athletic performance.
How do I determine the right size?
The Darcy sneaker is available in UK wide sizing. For optimal fit, measure your foot length and refer to Vionic’s size chart. The wide fit accommodates broader feet comfortably, and many users find they can wear their usual size due to the thoughtful width design.
