Fashion so often puts style ahead of comfort, which means the quest for the perfect pair of shoes can feel hard…especially if you’re dealing with bunions or other foot woes. That’s where Jennifer Bailey steps in. As the founder of Calla Shoes, she’s on a mission to prove you don’t have to choose between looking fabulous and feeling good. By Kiesha Meikle
Jennifer’s journey began with her own struggle, a quest for chic shoes that wouldn’t torment her bunions. Having experienced the agony of many fruitless searches firsthand, she made it her mission to fill the void in the market. In fact, it was Jennifer’s frustration during her own wedding – where she found herself discarding her uncomfortable heels after just an hour – that was her lightbulb moment.
As we all know, diversity often breeds innovation, and Jennifer’s redundancy while pregnant served as the catalyst for the launch of her business – she envisioned Calla Shoes as a sanctuary where style and comfort would marry.
“I talked to a podiatrist friend of mine about the complexities of making a shoe for bunions, and that’s how Calla Shoes began to come into fruition…”
After years of meticulous research, Calla shows was launched. Now, with customers hailing from over 60 countries, the brand’s commitment to comfort has earned it a community of devoted followers.
Chic Shoes and Sandals for Bunions
Central to Calla’s ethos is the marriage of style and functionality. Unlike conventional wide-fitting shoes, Calla footwear boasts a spacious toe box while maintaining a standard heel, ensuring a snug fit without compromising on elegance. Crafted from the European leather and suede, each pair is meticulously designed to accommodate bunions with discretion. Every shoe conceals lumps and bumps, thanks to elevated vamps that expertly disguise foot imperfections. Each pair features a cushioned, arch-supported insole to cradle weary feet. Calla Shoes stands as a beacon of innovation and inclusivity – in it’s own way, redefining the paradigm of fashionable comfort.
