1. Ballet Flats: A Fresh Take on a Timeless Classic
Ballet flats are stepping into spring with innovative updates that make them more versatile and stylish than ever. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, our ballet flats are designed to support your every move.
Mary Jane Ballet Flats
A nod to vintage charm with a modern twist, Mary Jane ballet flats are a key style for spring 2025. We’ve incorporated these must-haves into our range with soft leathers (Monkey) or stretch fabrics (Tansy), or punched designs with square toes (Welland and Colby). There’s even extra sleek dress flats (Fowey).
Cushioned air-bubble soles provide comfort all day, these shoes provide stability while maintaining a graceful silhouette.
Pair them with flowing skirts, cropped trousers, or casual denim for an effortless daytime look.
Suggested styles: Fowey | Welland | Tansy
Twists on Classic Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are receiving playful updates with unexpected materials, colours and subtle tweaks.
Think woven raffia, punched leather and metallic finishes, and ruched leather that adds dimension and elevates comfort.
Our slim looking yet wide-fitting designs include flexible soles and offer enough room for arch-support or specialist insoles, ensuring that your feet feel as good as they look.
Suggested styles: Campbell | Raffia | Emmental | Tetbury
2. Trainers: Retro-Inspired Comfort with a Contemporary Edge
Athleisure continues to dominate spring wardrobes, and trainers remain a key staple for those who value comfort and effortless style. Our range of wide-fitting trainers ensures that you stay on trend while enjoying unbeatable support.
Sporty Retro Trainers
Inspired by the golden era of athletic footwear, sporty retro trainers combine nostalgia with modern functionality. Colour-blocked designs, suede or suede trims, breathable mesh panels, and lightweight soles.
Whether you're on the move or dressing down for the weekend, these trainers offer versatility without compromising on fit.
Suggested styles: Bryony | Kingfisher | Echo | Bat
Classic Foam Sole Trainers
Nothing beats a tried-and-true classic. Our foam sole trainers feature responsive cushioning, making them ideal for all-day wear. Designed with a supportive, wide-fit shape and almond-toe shape, these trainers offer exceptional shock absorption and a sleek aesthetic that pairs well with both casual and smart-casual outfits.
Suggested styles: Ainslee | Whitworth | Diss
Metallic Finish Trainers
For those who love a bold yet sophisticated look, trainers with metallic finishes are a standout trend this season. Shimmering silver, gold, and iridescent accents add a touch of glamour to everyday wear.
Whether paired with casual denim or chic monochrome outfits, metallic trainers bring an effortless shine to any ensemble.
Suggested styles: Briar | Nikita | Cockatoo
3. Casual Leather & Suede Pumps
For trans-seasonal wear, casual pumps in leather or suede offer a stylish yet practical option.
These effortlessly chic shoes provide structure while maintaining flexibility and unprecedented levels of comfort.
Designed with different fastening options and our cushioned “bumper sole”, they transition seamlessly from work to weekend. Whether paired with tailored trousers or flowy spring dresses, these pumps are a versatile essential for any wardrobe.
Suggested styles: Grendon | Cedar | Sinead | Aleen
4. Loafers & Flats: Easy Comfort for Every Occasion
Loafers and flats are essential footwear for transitional dressing, offering the ease of a slip-on design with the sophistication of a structured shoe. Versatile to a tee: pair with jeans, cropped trousers, skirts or dresses. Still the must-have item for any wardrobe. Our spring 2025 collection introduces contemporary updates to these timeless styles.
Easy Loafers
All the style and versatility of a loafer with soft materials and comfortable feels you’ll want to wear all day. Designed for seamless wear, our loafers feature removable insoles, soft leather or suede uppers and flexible outsoles.
And, of course, they’re all wide and deep enough to accommodate wide feet, whilst maintaining that slim look. Whether you're heading to the office or out for a weekend brunch, these shoes blend comfort with refined style.
Suggested styles: Diana | Bow | Bingham
Boat Shoes
A summer classic, boat shoes are making waves once again and we’re ahead of the curve with the most comfortable boat shoes out there, with air-bubble soles, a new strap fastening version and a brand new sky-blue suede offering.
Perfect for laid-back days or seaside escapes, these shoes are a seasonal must-have.
Suggested styles: Avalon | Fiddle
5. Dress Shoes: Contemporary Elegance Meets Everyday Wearability
When it comes to dressing up, comfort should never be compromised. Our wide-fit dress shoes offer a blend of contemporary style and practical design, ensuring you look and feel your best for any occasion.
Square-toed heels are still making a statement this season, adding stable height and comfort to dress shoes. Our contemporary court shoes feature elegant designs, be they minimalist or patterned, with cushioned footbeds and wide toe-boxes, making them the perfect choice for events, office wear, or special occasions.
Suggested styles: Bangalore | Goa | Atlantic
The Comfort Revolution: Why Our Shoes Stand Out
At our core, we believe that style and comfort should go hand in hand. Our wide-fitting shoes are meticulously crafted with:
- Cushioned insoles for all-day support
- Breathable materials to keep feet fresh and comfortable
- Flexible soles that move with you
- Extra-wide designs for a perfect fit without pressure points
As spring 2025 unfolds, step confidently into the season with shoes that make every step effortless. Whether you’re embracing the nostalgia of retro trainers, the elegance of ballet flats, the versatility and sophistication of loafers, our collection ensures that comfort remains at the forefront of fashion.
Discover the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever wear—because style should never hurt.
