"Platform ankle boots are a great option for those who want a little extra height without sacrificing comfort. This luxe style features the brand’s unique podiatrist-designed footbeds, which are designed to minimize pain in your heels, arches and forefeet. In addition to the boots’ versatile design, they feature weather-resistant tumbled leather for even more practicality."
"The Frankie4 Riley IIsare a classic white sneaker with a secret: an adjustable footbed. They come with a podiatrist-designed Sole Saver Packfeaturing three types of insoles—a full-length option for a standard fit, offering arch support and cushioning; a half-length option for wide feet to support arches without sacrificing toe room; and a forefoot cushion for narrow feet, creating a snugger fit. You can choose different insoles for each foot. These shoes are “in a class of their own,” says Ellis, noting that she recommends them to clients who want to prioritize comfort for errands or travel without compromising on style."
"Why We Love It:These boots’ podiatrist-designed footbeds have a three-layer cushion system and customizable inserts to maximize support. However, they’re so stylish that you’d never guess comfort or foot health are priorities. The cherry on top? Frankie4 sources its material from Leather Working Group Gold- and Silver-rated tanneries that focus on recycling, using sustainable materials, being energy efficient, and managing chemicals safely."
"This elegant pair strikes the perfect balance between chic design and all-day stability. “The block heel also makes it easy to walk or stand in without feeling wobbly or shaky because it's not too high or too thin,” says T+L senior editorJackie Cucco. “Overall, they feel stable, which I would look for in a dress shoe, especially if I'm wearing them to a wedding where I have to be on my feet for hours.”
"Stylist Darcy Camden has done the boots on the ground work and found the best boots for every need. Most Comfortable/Best Wide Calf: Frankie4"
"These slingbacks come from Frankie4, one of our favorite brands ever for podiatrist-designed shoes that are actually cute. When I've tested uncomfortable pointed-toe slingbacks, the common theme is that they squish my toes together at the point. This gets even worse when you walk for a distance because the forward motion pushes the front of your foot deeper into the narrow toe. And don't even get me started on the damage this does to pedicures. But the Coco slingbacks don't give me that issue."
“FRANKIE4 is a PureWow editor favorite and I’m obsessed with the color of these burgundy pumps that will go just as beautifully with jeans as they do a party dress. The podiatrist-approved shoe comes with plush cushioning, arch support and a low heel, plus the brand’s famous Sole Saver pack that ensures a perfect fit.”
"Who says you have to sacrifice style for comfort? These Frankie4 boots feature a chic pointed-toe slightly boxy knee-high silhouette for added flair, cushioned insole, and a tapered kitten heel that ensures these boots are made for walkin’."
"Can a shoe be both stylish and comfortable? My relentless research into the annals of the podiatric internet have shown me that yes, despite the countless rows of ugly orthopedic shoes offering sweet relief, there are shoemakers doing some innovative things in the name of foot health. Enter: FRANKIE4—the Australian-born label that’s rewriting footwear rules.
"While these boots are an investment piece, they receive my seal of approval for two main features — their removable footbed and snug fit around my calves. These are the most sleek knee-high bootsI [Espinal] have ever worn and the short heels are perfect for my commute."
"The Sage Boots from FRANKIE4 are the ultimate wardrobe update for anyone in need of a true workhorse boot. These ankle boots are made of a natural leather that gives that perfect worn-in look and feel, and they feature a patented rubber slip-resistant sole made for long-lasting comfort and support. You’ll reach for these boots whenever you need a reliable shoe for errands around town, exploring a new city while traveling, or wherever the day takes you."
“These sneakers scream sideline mom. They’re comfortable as hell, cozy, and keep you looking a little less like you just rolled out of bed to get to your kid’s game than you are.”— Kate Auletta, Editor in Chief
