The joy of wearing comfortable shoes

BLUE SWEATER FROM COS

It is a long time since I have bought a pair of elegant court shoes. I have had a lot of comments from readers over the last year saying that I tend to wear trainers with most of my outfits, even skirts and dresses. This is because I’ve not been able to find any comfortable shoes that work for my feet. I need shoes made from very soft leather. I also need them to have a certain amount of support. Sole Bliss shoes to the rescue. I had heard of this brand so I was thrilled when apparently several of their customers mentioned my blog and suggested that Sole Bliss contact me. When they asked if I would like to try out their shoes. I jumped at the chance. This turned out to be an introduction to the joy of wearing comfortable shoes.

Luna – fashionable ballet flat

When I checked out their website I was very impressed. I was tempted to choose another pair of trainers however I resisted and instead selected Tess in black leather, a classic loafer style, Sydney an elegant low healed classic in blue suede and Luna a fashionable ballet flat in snake print leather. They are not normally the style of shoes that I would be drawn to however when they arrived and tried them on I was absolutely thrilled. The joy of wearing comfortable elegant shoes at last.

So my shoe problems are solved. I can’t guarantee to give up my trainers completely but I will be adding more Sole Bliss shoes to my wardrobe in the future. I will be in good company as they are worn by both Helen Mirren and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.

Disclaimer: I was sent three pairs of shoes to try. I was gifted one pair and I chose the Tess style. The other two pairs were returned.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • Only English use the terms trainers and court shoes. Always have to stop when I am reading and reconfigure those terms. Enjoyed your blog. Stay warm and safe!

  • I would also like to recommend Calla shoes, designed with bunions in mind. They are fantastic and like Sole Bliss you feel you are walking on air!

  • I love your look with your new shoes! Thanks for the tip on Sole Bliss, as my feet have become terribly picky as I’ve aged, and I have a difficult time finding dressier footwear options. I nearly panic when I have to dress formally because of the shoe issue (obviously haven’t had to worry about formalwear during COVID). I’m really excited to try Sole Bliss, just hoping I can get them in the U.S., or at least shipped here.
