I've had a bunion on my right foot for twenty years and every pair of flats ends up rubbing it raw. These have room in the toe and the knit just gives over the bump. I wore them to my granddaughter's school concert and forgot I had them on.
Margaret H.
Brisbane, Australia
I'm a wide fit and usually end up in men's shoes just to get some room. I ordered my normal size and there's space for all five toes. And they actually look feminine, which I haven't had in years.
Linda K.
Ohio, USA
The tops of my toes always get sore in shallow shoes. These are deep enough and soft enough that nothing presses. I've already ordered a second pair.
Patricia M.
Manchester, UK
My feet and ankles swell by the afternoon and most shoes feel two sizes too small by dinner. The knit stretches with me and I just loosen the buckle a notch. Huge difference.
Carol D.
Perth, Australia
Finding shoes for my swollen feet has always been a nightmare. These are soft, there are no tight seams, and the strap means I can adjust them as the day goes on. Very pleased.
Joan T.
Florida, USA
Summer here makes my feet puff up. These breathe nicely and never feel tight. I even wear them without socks and there's no rubbing at all.
Helen R.
Auckland, New Zealand
I'm on hard pharmacy floors all day. I used to swap into sneakers at lunch, but with these I don't need to. The cushioning is much better than it looks.
Susan B.
Melbourne, Australia
I wore them around the shops and then to the park with the dog. At the end of the day my watch said over 15,000 steps. No sore balls of the feet, no blisters.
Debbie L.
Texas, USA
Comfortable straight out of the box. I wore them to work on day one and didn't think about my feet once.
Anne W.
Dublin, Ireland
Three people asked where I got my shoes at church on Sunday! No one guessed they're comfort shoes. I feel put-together again.
Barbara S.
Sydney, Australia
My knees can't do heels anymore. These looked lovely with my dress and I danced all night. Best decision I made for the day.
Elaine G.
California, USA
I've tried so many comfort shoes that look like hospital clogs. These are a proper Mary Jane. I wear them with jeans, pants and dresses.
Rosemary P.
Toronto, Canada
I have narrow heels and a wide front, so flats always fall off at the back. The strap holds my foot in properly and I'm not clenching my toes anymore.
Judith A.
Adelaide, Australia
I'm careful about what I wear since a fall last year. These feel secure and the sole grips well on tiles. My daughter is relieved too.
Nancy F.
Georgia, USA
My fingers are stiff, so laces are out. The buckle is simple to do up, and once it's set I can slip them on and off.
Gillian C.
Edinburgh, UK
Two weeks of cobblestones and museums in Italy. I packed sneakers just in case and never wore them. They're light, fold flat in the case, and my feet were fine every evening.
Kathleen O.
Gold Coast, Australia
My feet always swell on long flights. These stayed comfortable the whole 14 hours, and I walked straight off and through the airport without a problem.
Mary J.
Arizona, USA
I wore them on deck, on shore excursions and to dinner. One pair did the lot. I've already bought a second pair for our next trip.

Help & FAQs
What people ask most before they order.
Yes. Order your usual size. Between sizes? Go one size up. The buckle lets you fine-tune the fit over the top of your foot, and if the size isn't right, the exchange is free.
Yes, that's exactly who they're made for. The roomy square toe lets your toes lie flat, and the soft stretch knit gives over bunions and curled toes, with no stiff seam pressing on them. Most customers with wide feet order their usual size.
Not at all. They look like a classic Mary Jane, with a neat strap and silver buckle, in 6 colours. All the comfort is hidden inside, so they go with jeans, trousers and dresses, and nobody will guess they're comfort shoes.
No. Regular ballet flats only stay on by squeezing your foot, so heels pop out and toes clench to hold on. The Mary Jane strap holds your foot in place across the top, so they stay on while you walk naturally.
There's nothing to break in. The soft stretch knit moves with your foot and has no hard edges or stiff heel cup to dig in, so they're comfortable from the very first wear.
Yes. A cushioned insole softens every step on hard floors and pavements, and the flexible grip sole bends with your foot. Customers wear them for shopping days, travel and long shifts at work.
Yes. The knit gives as your feet swell, and you can loosen the buckle a notch later in the day, so they don't dig in by evening. That's also why they're a favourites for long flights.
Yes. There are no laces, just one simple buckle. Set it to your fit once, then slip them on and off without having to bend down and fiddle.
Yes. With our 30-Day Walk Test you can wear them outside, on real walks. If they're not right for you, send them back for a full refund.
Most orders are packed and shipped within 1 business day (up to 5 during peak season or when stock is low). Delivery to New Zealand then usually takes 6–10 business days, and you'll get your tracking link by email as soon as your order ships. During holidays and peak season, please allow an extra 5–10 business days. Shipping is free during our sale.
The size buttons above show every size we make. Tap US, UK, EU or AU to see them in the sizing you know. If you usually wear a half size that isn't listed, go one size up. The soft knit and the buckle take care of the rest.
The buckle strap snugs the fit over the top of your foot, so they stay secure on narrower feet too. If your heel is narrow but your toes need room, these are a great match.
They come in one generous fit. The roomy square toe and stretch knit are already wide-friendly, so most customers with wide feet order their usual size instead of a special width.
Order the size you wear in everyday shoes. If you usually size up to make room for bunions or wide feet, you often won't need to here, thanks to the roomy toe. Not sure? Check the foot length in the size chart.
Order the size that fits your larger foot. Each buckle adjusts on its own, so you can tighten the strap a little more on the smaller side.
Stand on a sheet of paper later in the day, when feet are at their largest, and mark your heel and your longest toe. Measure the distance and match it to the foot length in the size chart.
We'll swap your size for free under our Free Fit Guarantee. Just get in touch during your 30-Day Walk Test.
Yes. The soft knit is gentle on bare skin, and the breathable weave lets air flow around your feet.
Yes. Thin socks, footsies and tights all work well. If you like thick socks, go one size up.
The breathable knit lets air move around your feet, so they stay cooler than in synthetic or patent flats, even on warm days.
No. The knit is made to breathe, so it isn't waterproof. Avoid puddles and heavy rain, and if they get wet, let them air dry at room temperature.
They have a cushioned comfort insole that softens every step, rather than a rigid arch support. If you need firmer arch support, a slim insert fits if you go one size up.
They're a comfortable flat on a slim, flexible sole, so there's no heel tipping your weight onto your toes or straining your knees and back.
The flexible grip sole feels steady on everyday surfaces like tiles, wooden floors and pavements. As with any shoe, take care on wet or polished floors.
Yes. The slim, flexible sole lets you feel the pedals, so you can drive comfortably and walk straight in wherever you're going.
The soft knit and roomy toe help avoid pressure points and rubbing. Every foot is different, so please check with your doctor or podiatrist, and keep checking your feet as they advise.
These are a slim, low-profile flat, so bulky orthotics may not fit. A slim insole usually works if you go one size up. If the fit isn't right, the exchange is free.
The cushioned insole softens every heel strike on hard floors, which feels very different from paper-thin flats. If you need more arch support, a slim insert fits if you go one size up. Keep following your podiatrist's advice.
The soft, roomy upper eases pressure on tender joints, and there are no laces to struggle with, just one simple buckle.
The wide front lets your forefoot spread out instead of squeezing the bones together, and the cushioning underfoot spreads the pressure. Ask your podiatrist whether pads or inserts would help too.
Yes. The stretch knit gives as your feet swell, and once the buckle is set, you can slip them on without bending down to tie laces.
Please check with your surgeon or podiatrist first. Once you're cleared for regular shoes, the roomy toe and soft knit help avoid pressure on sensitive areas.
Jeans, trousers, skirts and dresses. The classic Mary Jane shape works just as well for a casual day as for a dressy evening.
Yes. They look like a proper dress flat, so they suit office dress codes, and the cushioning keeps you comfortable through long days.
Yes. They're pretty enough for a dress and comfortable enough to stand through the ceremony and dance at the reception.
Very. They're light and easy to pack, cushioned for long sightseeing days, and the knit gives with swelling on long flights.
Yes, with tights or socks. The breathable knit isn't insulated, so on cold or wet days they're best for indoors, the office and dry days out.
Yes. They're a popular gift for Mum or Gran: comfortable shoes that don't look orthopaedic. If the size isn't right, the exchange is free.

Brush off dirt, spot clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun.
We recommend spot cleaning instead. Machine washing and tumble drying can stretch the knit and loosen the shape.
Let them air out between wears. The breathable knit helps keep moisture down, and thin socks on hot days keep them fresher for longer.
Popular colours sell out fast and we restock as quickly as we can. Choose another colour now, or check back soon.
