Stand a little taller — and walk a lot easier.
On the classic lace-up canvas sneaker on a chunky, cushioned platform — a little extra height, a soft step and a fresh look that goes with jeans, dresses and everything in between.
I am 59 years old, and somewhere along the way getting dressed stopped being a pleasure. The comfortable things in my closet were shapeless and dull; the pretty things pinched, clung, or showed more arm than I wanted to show. So most mornings I settled for “fine.”
I didn't realise how much that wore on me until a friend from my book club turned up to lunch looking relaxed and elegant at the same time. When I asked where her dress was from, she smiled and told me to read the Wrenley family's letter before I bought anything.
The Wrenley Family runs a small boutique, family-owned since 1996. Their letter walks through the handful of things they refused to compromise on. I am going to let their words carry it, because they say it better than I could.
1Cushioned from heel to toe
Inside, a soft, shaped insole cushions your foot all the way from the heel to the toes. It's the kind of comfort you notice the moment you step in — and keep appreciating on long days on your feet.
2A platform that softens every step
The chunky platform sole takes the edge off each step and gives you a little extra height at the same time. Because the sole is thick and even, you stay steady and grounded — height without wobbling.
3A grippy sole for confident steps
Turn it over and you'll see deep, lugged ridges at the front and the heel. The textured outsole grips the ground, so you can walk to the shops, the park or the café with confidence.
4Lace them just the way you like
Classic laces let you choose your fit: snug for a long walk, a little more relaxed for an easy day at home or in town. A heel pull tab at the back makes them easy to slip on before you tie them.
5Breathable canvas, fresh look
The canvas upper lets air move around your foot to keep it cool through the day. With the clean white toe cap and the lugged sole, the Lunastar looks fresh and modern — with jeans, a dress or anything in between.
6Three colours, sizes EU 36 to 43
Choose classic Black, soft Tan or the eye-catching Tiger print. The Lunastar comes in sizes EU 36 to 43 (NZ 3 to 9) — and if the fit isn't right, you can return them within 30 days of delivery.

I do not usually write things like this. But I spent too many years settling for clothes that were merely fine — and this one dress quietly gave me back the pleasure of getting dressed. If that sounds like you, I hope you find your size before it's gone.
