It is important to ensure the laces and straps are done up nice and firm, (make sure you’re comfortable, of course). This will help to secure the shoe to your foot.

If you have purchased an enclosed toe style which comes with our Sole Saver™️ pack, you can use a forefoot cushion under the full-length footbed towards the front of the shoe. This will help to shift your foot into the back of the heel counter which in turn can help to minimise heel movement.

FRANKIE4’s are made with high-quality leathers. Any natural material, like leather, will conform and mould to areas that are under pressure. So yes, the shoes will soften and mould with wear like any leather shoe.

Styles that include our Sole Saver Pack™️, enables you to adjust the footbed set up to provide you with additional space at the toe box, giving the bunion some extra room to sit in. Simply remove the full-length footbed and replace with the half-length footbed to allow for some more space.

Most enclosed toe styles also feature our hidden soft foam lining placed within the toe box area of the shoe which helps to reduce any friction in the area where your bunion may be.

If you commonly go for the same shoe size in your FRANKIE4’s then stick with this, but if you, or your feet vary between sizes, try starting with the bigger of the two sizes first. We’ve found it’s not uncommon to go up half a size in ballet flats, due to their neat, sleek profiles.
