1. They Don't Look Like Grandpa Shoes
Every comfort shoe I tried was beige, bulky or had Velcro. I looked 10 years older the minute I put them on.
These look like a clean, regular sneaker. Nobody can tell they're comfort shoes.
CHECK AVAILABILITY ð2. I Wear Them With Jeans and Chinos
I used to have "going out" shoes and "comfy" shoes. The comfy ones never left the house.
These come in navy and black. One pair works for a walk, the store or dinner out.
"Look clean enough to wear to a work meeting, feel like I'm wearing nothing. Best of both and I didn't expect that."
3. No Bending Down to Tie Them
Grandpa shoes fix that with Velcro. I wasn't wearing Velcro.
These have no-tie elastic laces that look like real laces. Pull the heel tab and step in.
CHECK AVAILABILITY ð4. My Toes Finally Have Room
Most sneakers are cut narrow. Mine squeezed my toes by lunch.
These have a wide, round toe box. My toes sit flat all day.
CHECK AVAILABILITY ð5. A Real Wide Fit, Not Just a Bigger Size
I used to buy a size up to get more room. Then my heel slipped out.
These come in Standard and Wide.
If the width is off, the exchange is free.

6. They Still Fit at 4 O'Clock
My feet swell by the afternoon, and my old shoes got tight.
These have a soft, stretchy knit that gives as my feet swell.
CHECK AVAILABILITY ð7. Light, With a Sole That Softens Every Step
The orthopedic shoes I tried felt like bricks.
These are light, with a thick, shock-absorbing sole for concrete and tile.
8. My Arches Finally Have Support
My old sneakers were flat inside. My arches had nothing under them.
These have built-in arch support. If you still use orthotics, the Wide fit has room for them.
CHECK AVAILABILITY ð9. They Come With a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Wear them on real walks. If they're not for you, return them within 30 days for a refund. You just pay the return shipping.
If the size or width is off, the exchange is free.
Comfort doesn't have to look like grandpa shoes.
