As a person who’s worn sky-high stilettos for many, many years, my feet look more like they’ve done hard times in pointe shoes. And if you’ve ever seen a legit ballerina’s feet, then you know what I mean. But there comes a point when, sadly, your feet decide “enough is enough” and you’re forced to put comfort ahead of really pretty, super dazzling shoes.
Cushionaire, however, disagrees. As their motto goes, “We believe fashion doesn’t have to hurt.” So, if you thought your heel-wearing days were over, Cushionaire has a thing or two to say about that because every Cushionaire shoe is designed with a comfort-first mindset without sacrificing the fashion styles and trends you love.
Although some shoe styles might look very familiar to other footwear brands, Cushionaire shoes are distinct. Using memory foam insoles that conform to your foot slapped inside super-soft uppers in a range of heel heights and styles (sensible, kitten, block and platform heels), Cushionaire designs are made for the real world, turning streets, boardrooms or anywhere else you walk, into your very own personal runway.
After becoming a pretty big deal at other retailers like Amazon, Cushionaire wanted to keep some of that excitement for itself. So in 2020, they opened the Cushionaire online store to customers, selling footwear for women, men and kids, too.
You can shop all the shoe styles at Cushionaire.com, but these are our favorites you can take a peek at now.
1. Cushionaire Sandals
Cushionaire’s Lang sandal is the ultimate in comfort with a genuine leather insole that cushions the contours of your feet to keep them happy all day long.
This sweet sandal has adjustable straps for getting the perfect fit and a flexible cork footbed that molds to your feet over time.
2. Cushionaire Booties
While the cute Hippy Cozy Platform Ankle Boot has the same vibe as another favorite cozy boot brand, this Cushionaire style is currently in stock.
The slip-on 2-inch platform bootie features a genuine suede upper, faux shearling lining with memory foam insoles. This style is also available in wide sizes, too.
3. Cushionaire Clogs
Hana is a super comfy slip-on clog with a similar flexible cork footbed as cousin Lang.
Made with a vegan leather upper and an adjustable strap for a great fit, Hana sits about 0.25 inches on a slight platform with a 1.25-inch heel. It has a genuine suede insole.
4. Cushionaire Slides
The uber-popular Cushionaire Feather Cloud recovery slide sandal is super comfy and squishy — kinda like having a pillow for your feet.
Its spongy molded footbed is completely waterproof and sits on top of a 1.75-inch platform heel.
5. Cushionaire Loafers
Dublin is a trendy, comfortable slip-on loafer. As with most Cushionaire kicks, Dublin has a vegan leather upper with cushy memory foam padding.
It has a premium lug outsole and a 1.5-inch lug heel. This shoe comes in cream and black.
6. Cushionaire Chelsea Boots
Meet the Beckett boot, a Chelsea girl with a rugged exterior and a soft, cushy interior.
Beckett features premium vegan leather and padded memory foam insole, making her style meets comfort a perfect combo.
The 3-inch block heel is bottomed off with a rugged, nonslip sole that makes it easy to strut your stuff comfortably.
7. Cushionaire Clogs
Cushionaire’s Gibbons is a wooden-heeled mule with a vegan nubuck leather upper lined with gold studs around the top and sides of the foot.
Despite the 3-inch block heel, the memory foam insole helps offer your feet plenty of extra comfort and a nonslip outsole for preventing mishaps.
8. Cushionaire Lela Sandals
Perhaps Cushionaire’s most popular style, Lela is one of the best cork sandals.
Lela has 100% genuine suede insoles and a cushioned heel cup. It comes with three adjustable straps and a soft premium faux leather upper, making every step a comfy one.
The cork platform measures 1.25 inches.
