How to Choose the Right Comfort Shoes for Happy, Healthy Feet
Share
Let's be real, finding the right shoe isn't just about looking good. It's about feeling amazing from the moment you slip them on to the last step of your day.
Why Shoe Comfort Matters More Than You Think
Your feet are engineering marvels - 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments working in perfect harmony. But finding shoes that truly support this complex system? That's where things get tricky.
Who This Guide is For:
-
Weekend warriors
-
Office professionals
-
Active seniors
-
Anyone with foot sensitivity
-
People managing foot conditions
Feature Spotlight: Game-Changing Shoe Technologies
Arch Support Innovations
Modern shoes aren't just accessories - they're advanced foot support systems. Look for:
-
Dynamic arch mapping
-
Customisable support zones
-
Pressure-distributing insole technologies
-
Memory foam adaptability
Comfort Co Solutions:
Every shoe in The Comfort Co range comes with built-in arch support. All arch support is equal, but some are more equal than others. If you’re looking for arch support to fix plantar fasciitis, or arch support to relieve arthritis you’re going to want some shoes that take it really seriously.
You’ll find relief with anything on The Comfort Co, but we recommend jumping over to Aetrex or Vionic as a starting point.
Material Revolution
Today's shoe materials are nothing short of miraculous:
-
Breathable knit composites
-
Temperature-regulating fabrics
-
Lightweight performance materials
-
Eco-friendly sustainable components
Comfort Co Solutions:
Breathability has so much more to do with comfort than we think about. Squelching through your day on a sweaty footbed is not only uncomfortable, it’s a hotbed for bacteria that can cause or exacerbate foot conditions.
The Comfort Co has thought about this in every shoe we design and we use top quality materials like Yak Leather or Mesh to ensure your feet stay fresh.
Solving Common Foot Comfort Challenges
High Arches? We've Got You Covered
Traditional shoes often neglect high-arch needs. Look for:
-
Extra cushioning in midfoot zones
-
Flexible yet structured design
-
Enhanced heel stabilization
-
Wide toe boxes for natural foot spread
Comfort Co Solutions:
Shoes from Aetrex and Revere are designed with contoured insoles that cradle high arches while supporting natural movement. Their arch-mapping technology and deep heel cups provide the structure you need without stiffness, helping prevent fatigue and discomfort during long days on your feet.
If you wear a custom orthotic, Revere sandals have a removable footbed so you wear your orthotics to the beach!
Flat Feet Solutions
Flat feet require specialised support. Key features to seek:
-
Rigid heel counters
-
Motion control technologies
-
Enhanced medial side support
-
Shock-absorbing midsoles
Comfort Co Solutions:
Vitasole and Scholl lead the way for flat-foot comfort with built-in orthotic support and stabilising heel counters. Their motion-control midsoles and podiatrist-approved footbeds help maintain proper alignment and reduce strain on the ankles and knees.
Pro Tips for Perfect Shoe Fitting
-
Measure feet later in the day (feet naturally expand)
-
Consider width, not just length
-
Walk around in shoes before purchasing
-
Replace shoes every 450-800 kilometres of use (about a million steps)
Comfort Co Solutions:
We make finding your fit simple. If you happen to live near a Comfort Co retail store head over for an Aetrex foot scan for insights leading to the best fitting pair of shoes you’ve ever had.
If you don’t live near a store, The Comfort Co offers multiple width options across most brands. Use the size charts or sizeright feature on our product pages, or just ask our online Comfort Co Concierges (customer service team). They’d be happy to help.
If you’re still nervous, don’t be. The Comfort Co Return & Exchange policy couldn’t be easier to navigate if you get it wrong.
