FASHION+BEAUTY No Pain - No Gain insideKENT’S GUIDE TO FABULOUS AND COMFORTABLE FOOTWEAR Love shoes with personality but fear that choosing comfort means you’ll be stuck wearing run-ofthe-mill shoes? With our guide to fabulous and comfortable footwear, you’ll never utter the words ‘fashion is pain’ again. Here, insideKENT's fashion editor Molly Neznanski Gil takes you on a tour of her favourite shoes that not only look incredible, but make you feel fabulous, and (surprise!) feel absolutely amazing on your feet. Riding High Original Boot £129, Nokian by Julia Lundsten Wedge High Original Boot £129, Nokian by Julia Lundsten Tess in Lavender £70, Miista Can’t-Believe-It Comfort You know when you tell someone you love their shoes and they respond by saying 'thanks, and they are so comfortable too!' and you walk away thinking ‘Oh please, that can’t be true?‘ Well, take it from us, when you wear Tess, not only will you look super stylish, but you will want to tell the whole world just how great they feel. Rainy Days These wellies are the product of a collaboration with Finnish designer Julia Lundsten of FINSK. A great investment, you’ll love their cutting-edge design, beautiful detailing, high-quality rubber, and comfortable easy-to-walk-in footbeds. Peep-Toe Platform Sandal in Pony Black £285, Skin By FINSK Head in the Clouds Avante-garde, yet supremely wearable, each pair of handcrafted FINSK shoes are a head-turning masterpiece. Believe it or not, we can wear these sky high beauties all day or night, with not a pain in sight. Mid-Heel Loafer £245, Skin by FINSK Double Duty These beautiful loafers make us pine for Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and, well, just about any day we can rock them. They look fabulous with jeans, dresses and skirts, and with their stacked heel and comfy footbed, they are perfect for just about anything. We are officially obsessed. Frosty £140, Draper of Glastonbury Wonderfully Warm We love Frosty because they are luxurious to the touch and have an incredibly warm sheepskin lining, not to mention a comfortable footbed. We also love that they are made by a fourth-generation family business that has been manufacturing high-quality sheepskin footwear in Glastonbury for over 75 years. Donna Heels £85, Hotter Shoes Lovely and Ladylike The lovely and ladylike Donna Heels by Hotter Shoes are designed for comfort, with a breathable leather insole, full flexibility, cushioned footbed, and flexi-grooved sole. These lightweight slip-ons are guaranteed to quickly become one of your favourite pairs, not only because of how they feel, but because of their adorable look.
