The pretty sandals you can actually walk in all day.
On the block-heel sandal with a cushioned footbed, a secure ankle strap and a playful cut-out design — the pair you put on for a garden stroll, a long lunch or a day in town, and forget you're wearing.
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.
1Comfortable for every step
Under the foot sits a cushioned, supportive footbed that helps soften every step, and the light, flexible build moves naturally with your foot. A slow walk through the garden, a morning in town, an afternoon on your feet — they stay comfortable the whole way.
2A heel that feels steady
The Stacey gives you a little extra height on a low, wide block heel — far more stable than a slim heel. You get the lift that makes a dress or trousers look lovely, without the wobble or the sore feet by the end of the day.
3A strap that keeps your foot in place
A slim ankle strap with a little buckle holds your foot securely in place, so the sandal moves with you instead of slipping. Fasten it once in the morning and forget about it.
4Pretty from every angle
Look down and you see the sleek, open square toe and the playful cut-out straps in a soft suede-look finish. It's a modern, polished design that makes even jeans and a cup of coffee on the porch feel a little special.
5Lovely with everything in your wardrobe
With a floral maxi dress, with linen trousers and a straw bag, with cropped jeans or a skirt — the Stacey suits casual days and dressier occasions alike. Holidays, shopping, brunch or a stroll through the city: they simply go.
6Eight colours, in your size
The Stacey comes in eight lovely colours — red, purple, olive, navy blue, light blue, green, yellow and orange — and in sizes EU 36 all the way to EU 43 (NZ 3–9). Pick the shade that makes you smile.

The Stacey Sandals · $89.95 while sizes last
I do not usually write things like this. But I spent too many years settling for clothes that were merely fine — and this one pair of sandals quietly gave me back the pleasure of getting dressed. If that sounds like you, I hope you find your size before it's gone.
