Here’s one of those posts that I know is going to get lots of feedback. Wide shoes that are really, really comfortable. Need I say more?
As you’ll see from the pictures below, the ICS allows each person to customize the shoe to suite their own needs – choose inner support, outer support, firm support or cushioning.
And the really cool thing is that the lovely people at Wolverine have managed to house all this technology into some pretty cute looking shoes.
Check out this ad for Naturaliza (which have just arrived in store). Don’t click close in the first 15 seconds (which I nearly did). We couldn’t have said it better ourselves (except I…..like hope we do).
Here’s Sally talking with Blair Harding about how hard heel strike can be and what you can do about it. These shoes are Wolverine but she also talks about the store philosophy, why it matters and why you should find the right shoes. You’ll also be thrilled to hear me saying “poo” right into the microphone – can you tell I have 3 kids?
No this might not seem at first glance like a post about shoes or our store. And I guess it isn’t but……. just think…if Brisbane were a bike/walk/bus everywhere kind of city, everyone would need more fabulous yet comfortable shoes.
Seriously, why can’t we make these kind of changes in Brisbane? If anyone feels passionately about this – email me. Maybe together we can do something.
I am regularly and loudly accused by the gorgeous people in our Sydney store that I often promote shoes that they don’t have and neglect to tell everyone about the fantastic Sydney stock.

Our new range of Reikers are in store.
Rieker Rieker shoes and sandals are European style shoes focused on comfort. Rieker shoes and sandals are designed to keep your feet happy all day long. A comfortable footbed and lots of room for your toes, Rieker shoes are known as the antistress shoes.
The new Clarke shoes just in are not them. This time round they are in funky colours and designs.Clarke shoes are made for a moving foot – people who walk a lot. The other great thing about them is that they are a multiple fitting. So they work for people who have different combinations of wide forefoot, narrow heel or the other way around.
Because they are lightweight they have no heel drag so they last a long time.
They are a reputable company that has stood the test of time.
For some reason, this week, I’ve had lots of people ask me about Reiker – where do they come from? Are they good quality? The answers are; originally Germany and yes, they are great quality. (I bought myself a pair of Reiker boots at the start of the season and am hoping winter will hang around for a while just so I can keep wearing them).
Here’s why they are so comfy:

Aetrex’s slogan is live life your way, everyday. Here’s some photos – we think they are going to really go (actually we hope they do because we have so much stock at the moment, the Aetrex boxes are filed in the office.)
These guys have some seriously impressive technology built into them – feel free to check it all out at their website
If you’re not so into technology, here’s a few reasons why these shoes are good for your feet, and by, extension your body. In particular they are perfect for anyone spending a lot of time on their feet. They are also suitable for travellers planning an extended trip because you can walk in them all day and they still look good enough to go out at night. Continued…
