Anatomic & Co Shoes promise style and comfort and they sent me a pair to try out. Comfort is a vital property of a pair of shoes, but so is style. There's not much point having the most comfortable pair of shoes in the world if they look clumpy and inelegant. I think so anyway. The thing about shoes is that they can lift or ruin a look. A poorly fitting suit looks better matched with a superb pair of hand-made English brogues. Conversely the best-fitting bespoke suit looks sorry for itself with a pair of grey, dirty, shapeless shoes.
I tried a pair of Palma suede Havana brogues. With soft suede uppers and gel technology soles, they are very comfortable indeed. After a cycling accident some years ago I normally have to wear an orthotic insole in one shoe, but the softness and support from the gel insoles made this unnecessary with these shoes. Nicely shaped and lightweight, the shoes are stylish as well, so they tick all the right boxes for achieving that balance between comfort and looks.
Anatomic shoes are available in various different widths, so there is a size for everyone. They are designed in the UK and made in Brazil.

The nicest looking pair of comfort shoes I've ever seen! Good to see that at least one shoe manufacturer gets it.

Dear GF
ReplyDeleteI've just been on the Anatomic website looking for a pair of these. Yours seem to have rather stylish blue soles. The web version doesn't. Is this a trick of the light? Thank you KB
Grey Fox,
ReplyDeleteOn their website they show a large range of designs but the pictures indicate quite pronounced toe spring. Did you feel that with the pair you have ?

Hi Anon - no it's a trick of the light - the soles are a dark brown.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed this snapper - seems OK to me.
Best wishes,
GF
