Tucked away in Manulife Center on Bloor– there is a fabulous little store called Ron White. Many of the brands he carries are exclusive to his store and there is a great offering of boots, heels, and flats that are a blend healthy ergonomics with style.
Ron White has a special category of shoes called ALL DAY HEELS™:
"All Day Heels™ is a selection of shoes, boots and sandals exclusive to Ron White. The styles are hand-picked by Ron each season for their unique technology which truly makes them an All Day Heel. In order to be branded All Day Heels™, the shoes must have technical properties in their design which allows them to feel wonderful during extended wear. These features include arch support, special cushioning materials in the insole (such as NASA created poron or Nike Air technology), special rubber compounds used in the outsole, or heel cushioning, cradles or support."
Currently they have a $25 discount on all sandals (regular priced AND the ones on sale!). Oh sales, how I love thee. The only thing better than getting a fabulous heel is not having to forego your groceries for them.
Here are some of my picks from their current offerings:
Heidi Buckle by Frye
Teal (shown), or Black
$349.99 CAD (from $600.00)
Heel: 76mm (3''), Platform:~0.5-0.75''
Part of the RW All Day Heel Collection. I have to tell you guys, I have had a lemming for these boots ever since I started doing my research on Ron White. The price = fantastic. The look = fantastic. And c'mon...teal leather boots? How unique and exciting is that??! These would absolutely rock with jeans.
*little hearts coming out of my eyes*
The rounded toe allows for natural toe placement and natural forefoot movement through the normal gait (walking) cycle. Elevated platform under the balls of the feet reduce the already low heel-to-forefoot ratio. Nice thick heel that not only carries well with the style of the boot (they would look...like...weird with a stiletto heel) but gives you a wider base of support for balance.
Serra Black by Anyi Lu
Black Suede(shown), Brown Suede
$379.99 CAD (on sale from $925.00)
Heel: 45mm (~1.8'')
These suede babies have a gorgeous buckle and just goes with everything.
It is constructed with poron - which is a very flexible rubber that compresses under pressure without collapsing. Translation: uber comfortable with sustained support. These will take you from grocery shopping to the movies to the Spoke Club patio. Effortless and Gorgeous.
Madge by Ron White
Black and Metallic Black Leather (shown)
$199.99 CAD (on sale from $595.00)
Heel:95mm (~3.7'')
If you are looking for a basic black shoe with a little something special...this is your girl. Antique metallic leather going right up the back of the boot. I love the subtle detail of the metallic leather stopping just short of where the black leather stops near the calf.
Poron cushioned insole, rounded toe, chunky heel and a rubber sole make this a fantastically comfortable, classic boot.
London Air Black by Cole Haan
Black Patent Leather (shown)
$335.00 CAD
Heel: 95mm (~3.7'')
A smart, timeless shoe. T-Strap sandal (which is very hot this season) coupled with an over-sized (adjustable) buckle gives it just enough detail to make interesting. This is why we love Cole Haan.
Nike Air Technology to make every step cushiony heaven. It is the ultimate style meets function.
