After many years of sky-high heels, unsupportive sandals, and wobbly wedges I admit it… I have foot pain. And many of my favorite shoes (including most of my beloved heels) have been relegated to the top shelves of the closet or given to my daughters. But, am I going to wear ugly supportive shoes? If you know me, you know the answer is … uhh, heck no.
So, when I learned about the FLEX Astra boots from Kuru Footwear, I was intrigued. These are versatile Chelsea boots, so they have an inherent cool factor, but are as supportive as my favorite sneakers. Unlike the (gulp) many boots already in my closet, these have a technology that cradles the heel, plus incredible cushioning that softens each step, AND insoles that mold to my foot shape for great arch support. Altogether, these make the Flex Astra Chelsea Boots the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn!
One of the key factors to the comfort of these boots is the bendable sole. Unlike traditional Chelsea boots, these have plenty of “give.” The thick, cushy sole has an added benefit – cold does not seep up through the pavement like it can with leather soles. So, feet stay toasty warm, even in the bitter cold. (I think I am going to have to hide these from daughter #2, as she is headed to frosty Estonia in a few months!)
Of course, I would not love them so much if they were not this cute, too! Just like a traditional Chelsea Boot, these have stretchy side panels, heel pull tabs, and soft leather uppers for a classic look.
Of course, you don’t have to just take my word for it. Kuru has more than 31,000 5-star reviews! And, this is a company that really stands behind their products. The company even offers a 6-month warranty from the date of purchase.
These boots are available in two colors: jet black with a black sole (my choice) and chestnut brown with a white sole. And, they are available online exclusively at Kuru Footwear. Or, visit the company’s store in Salt Lake City, UT.
