"In my opinion, barrel-leg jeans can go with any shoes, but I especially like the juxtaposition of the baggy style with a narrow-toe heel like a stiletto or a boot (like this one from FRANKIE4). "

"A perfect blend of chic style and everyday comfort. Crafted from supple leather, this chic slip-on features a modern lace-up design that adds a sporty touch. It boasts triple-layer cushioning to keep your feet feeling great all day long. Equipped with the Sole Hero Support Footbed, it offers personalized support for your heel, arch, and forefoot, ensuring every step is cushioned. Plus, its slip-resistant sole means you can confidently navigate any surface. Whether you’re jet-setting around the globe or enjoying a casual day out, these shoes are perfect—just slide them on and you’re ready to go in style!"

"FRANKIE4's silver loafers (Franklin) beautifully tap into this trend, plus they're podiatrist-designed, which means their comfort is next-level."

"Booties are notoriously tough to fit and can lead to foot pain, unsupported options, cramped toes, and more. Krempa also loves the Ember booties from FRANKIE4, which solve all that, and more. That’s thanks to the podiatrist-approved customizable insole pack that comes with every pair allowing you to find your perfect fit. Plus, each pair comes with a triple-layer support system and Goldilocks heel counter for maximum comfort."

"Does she love shoes and isn't willing to sacrifice comfort? She won't believe how comfortable FRANKIE4's luxe leather ankle boots are straight out of the box! Each pair offers the brand's signature triple-layer support for best-in-class arch and sole cushioning. Whether you choose black, tan, or gold leather, this classic bootie style goes with everything in her wardrobe."

"The moment they arrived I slipped them on and I was immediately impressed: they felt like they were made for my feet. They have FRANKIE4’s unique Sole Hero Footbed that was designed by podiatrist and founder, Caroline McCulloch. It is surprisingly supportive and cushioning, and it’s used in every FRANKIE4 shoe. Every pair also comes with an extra set of half footbeds for people with wide feet and an extra set of forefoot cushion for people with narrow feet, allowing you to truly get a custom-feeling fit."

"This pair is a favorite of fashion creator Wendy Sy of the blog StyleMeetsStory because they’re so customizable. “What makes this comfortable pair unique is that it comes with different size footbeds so you can change them out for a narrow or wide fit,” she says. The brand was founded by a podiatrist, so arch support and flexibility is top of mind. They also go with everything. Sy notes they’re especially great for travel since they’re a great walking shoe that can counterbalance a dressier outfit nicely."

"The knee-high style is classic and timeless with a pointed toe and black leather composition. It looks perfect paired with jeans, dresses, or suits, but the best part is undoubtedly the comfort. I have to thank Aussie brand FRANKIE4 for these podiatrist-designed beauties. The footbed is engineered to provide heel, arch, and forefoot support. Three layers of cushioning ease pressure points and cradle the heel. Can you say that any of your other pumps were carefully crafted with body alignment in mind?"

"Achy postpartum feet love the extra cushioning and genius slip-on style of these elegant, podiatrist-designed sneaker mules, featuring triple-layered support for errands with the baby or short stroller walks. Getting out the door in style—and with her hands full—has never been easier."

"They're designed by an expert. What sets FRANKIE4 shoes apart is that the brand was founded by a podiatrist — so, needless to say, the products are designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Fortunately, their footwear is just as stylish as it is sensible."

"I'd estimate that I've owned nearly 100 pairs of boots over the course of my lifetime so far, and not all of them were kind to my feet. These days, comfort iseverythingto me. Maybe I was willing to put up with aching arches or blistered heels just for the sake of looking cute in my 20s, but that's just not so anymore."

"Ergonomically designed block heels are ideal for a long day of being on your feet, while stylish and supportive kitten heels and platform bootie styles are elevated for the office or going out on the town. Luxury footwear brands founded by podiatric surgeons (Marion Parke and Julieta Barcelona) and a female podiatrist (FRANKIE4) consider supportive design above all else, while still producing quite fabulous shoes in the process."

"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 boots I [Espinal] have ever worn and the short heels are perfect for my commute."

"One of the best parts about Frankie 4’s loafers is that the shoe was created by a podiatrist to ensure it's as comfortable as possible. Between the multiple layers of footbed and heel support, the chain-detailed loafer is bound to make your feet happy. There are two color iterations on offer—black and beige—ensuring the shoes go well with everything, regardless of your own personal color wheel."

"The second I witnessed multiple fashion editors don these darling kitten heels at New York Fashion Week, I knew I had to try them for myself. As soon as I slipped them on, I instantly understood how the comfortable heels have accumulated more than 120,000 5-star reviews since their launch, per the brand. The magic stems from podiatrist Caroline McCulloch, who created the heels with wearability and comfort in mind. The secret lies in the brand’s LuxeStep technology, which fuses a thickness underneath the pressurized point of the forefoot area. There’s also more cushioning along the arch for all-over comfort. As someone who appreciates style over everything else, I’m so happy I’ve found a pair of sexy slingback heels that don’t make my feet throb in pain or toes pinch in the slightest."

"I finally found my version of a golden retriever boyfriend, the holy grail of fall/winter shoes: the Allegra boot."

"FRANKIE4: Australian, podiatrist-founded footwear label FRANKIE4 has a partnership with the US-based, non-profit foundation, The Cure Starts Now, which aims to eliminate ALL cancers. All profits from socks sold in the US are donated directly to The Cure Starts Now, so every time you buy a pair of socks, you’re helping fund research that could save the lives of children everywhere."

"Sneakers are a year-round staple, but with a new academic year and fashion month on the horizon, they're really top of mind leading into fall. And already, we're seeing a handful of trends emerge and make the case for something other than a Samba."

"The ultimate testament to these FRANKIE4 slingbacks comes from a harrowing tale of me spotting the bus about to leave the station and high-tailing it while wearing them (I made it just in time!). My first reaction was to marvel at how soft the foam lining on their interior feels, but the fact that I can sprint in these is high praise for the podiatrists who helped design them.This pair comes with gel forefoot cushions you can insert if you're prone to metatarsal pain. Their low flatform heel and slingback gives them a bit more structure than a typical flat, but they're worth mentioning in this guide because they're so easy to slide in and wear for hours, as any pair of good flats should be." — Gabrielle Chase

"Not only are these sandals easy on the eyes, they’re also incredibly comfortable. With luxe footbed technology, triple-layered support, and a cushion system, they provide all-day support for the feet. And the premium materials and durable construction ensure they are built to last."

"If you’re in the market for comfortable heels, allow me to introduce you to these slingbacks. Designed by a podiatrist, they boast a contoured and molded LuxaLite footbed that provides a dual-layered, targeted cushioning with each step, impressive arch support and adjustable straps for a perfect fit—I think you can imagine how great they feel on your feet. “This gorgeous heel is so comfortable and just the right height,” raves buyer Jaqueline S. “I have trouble wearing higher heels, but I can get though the whole day without any pain wearing these.”

"FRANKIE4 is marking a new milestone in its business.

The Australian women's footwear label has achieved B Corporation certification, which measures a company's environmental and social impact."

"What our editors say: Updates writer Francesca Sales likes how her FRANKIE4 loafers instantly polish up any look. "They go with either casual jeans or work trousers," she says. "But what I really love is how well-constructed they are and how supportive the podiatrist-designed footbed is. They don't feel like dressy shoes."

"The versatility of loafers is unrivaled. A chic shoe that effortlessly straddles the line between work and leisure, a loafer is easy to slip on, appropriate for a range of occasions and marries casual ease with refined structure."

"Australian footwear brand FRANKIE4 recently announced their B Corp Certification, making them the fifth footwear company that’s founded in Australia and New Zealand to join the B Corp community. “It’s incredible to see FRANKIE4 become part of a global movement of companies committed to doing business better,” said Hilary McMillan, FRANKIE4's CEO."

"After testing a bunch of platform sandals, FRANKIE4's shoe came out on top for its near-perfect balance of comfort and support. This podiatrist-approved slip-on has a cork footbed that lifts, cradles, and cushions the heel. I also love its slight arch support, which offers lower limb alignment, and extra support."

"If athletic and sporty styles are not your cup of tea, look to Frankie4 for a little inspiration. Developed by an Australian podiatrist, the brand’s shoes combine fashion-forward silhouettes with the power of comfort. Wear the Riley for long walks exploring a new city or a long weekend day of running errands."

"Why We Love It: The podiatrist-designed footbeds in these boots have a three-layer cushion system and customizable inserts to maximize support, but they’re so stylish that they don’t look like comfort or foot health are priorities. We also appreciate that FRANKIE4 sources their material from Leather Working Group Gold- and Silver-rated tanneries that prioritize recycling, sustainable materials, energy efficiency, and safe chemical management."

"If it's not on your radar yet, FRANKIE4 is a podiatrist-designed shoe line that offers insanely comfortable footwear. These are the perfect black boots to run around the airport and to wear on your trip as your professional or going-out shoes."

"If you want the comfort of an athletic walking shoe in a more fashion-forward silhouette, this is a great choice. Designed by podiatrists to promote maximum comfort and foot health, this sneaker offers incredible arch and heel support."
