SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vionic introduces Vionic Pro, a line of slip-resistant footwear made for the performance-driven professional who craves style and support.  The collection is designed for the pro in everyone, elevating classic "duty" shoes by combining Vionic's trusted technology with on-trend styles for all day comfort.

"Since we started Vionic we've been asked for slip-resistant footwear, and now we have it," says Vionic Executive Vice President of Marketing Lisa Bazinet. "Keeping professionals on their feet so they can help others in comfort and…style".

Vionic Pro answers the needs of customers who work on their feet and crave Vionic support yet, require slip-resistance for safety.
