Why Dressy Ankle Boots Feel So Uncomfortable After an Hour, and What to Look For Instead
From the Bella & Jane team
You know how it goes. The boots look lovely when you put them on. An hour later you're thinking about where you can sit down, and by the end of the day they're the first thing to come off at the door.
Many of us have simply accepted that as the price of looking nice. But a lot of it comes down to how a boot is built. Here's what we look for when we choose a boot we'd want to wear all day.
1. Room for your toes
A narrow, pointed front is often what starts the trouble. When your toes are squeezed together, you notice it with every step. A rounded, roomier toe area lets them sit more naturally.
2. Support under the arch
A completely flat insole leaves your arch with nothing underneath it. A shaped footbed with arch support gives your foot something to rest on, which many women find more comfortable over a long day.
3. A soft layer underfoot
Thin, hard insoles pass every step straight on to your foot. A cushioned footbed makes walking on hard sidewalks and store floors feel a lot softer.
4. A wide, steady sole
Height doesn't have to mean wobbling. A wedge has contact with the ground along the whole sole, so it feels steadier than a narrow heel.
That's why we chose Loretta
Loretta brings those four things together in a boot that still looks dressy. She has a smooth leather-look upper, a side zipper so you don't have to wrestle her on, and a striped wedge sole that adds a little height and a little style.
