Söfft Shoes for Your Fall Feet

The Bourges shoe from Sofft's fall 2011 collection.

Well, ladies, it only took 458 years since Da Vinci’s glorious invention, but they’ve finally done it: they’ve invented a comfortable high heeled shoe. Gone are the days of limping around at the end (sometimes the beginning) of a long night. Say hello to Söfft, a shoe manufacturer that is pioneering a new category of footwear they call fashion comfort.

The key is a unique technology called ExoSol that absorbs pressure from the ground and provides unparalleled comfort. The shoes are lined with soft leathers and cottons, detailed with artistic patterns to cradle and soothe your foot and banish blisters.

I know what you’re thinking: these things have to be hideous. I’m telling you, they’re as fashion-forward as they come. I’d stake my reputation on it. They’re the perfect marriage of European design and modern comfort. Take your stilettos and cross them with your snuggly old slippers and you have Söfft. Just check out the shoe-booties I just picked up. They’ve instantly become a staple of my fall/winter wardrobe.

And the variety of their collection is endless! From tailored pumps to vibrant sandals and sophisticated boots, there’s something for you.
