Sole Mate Goals: Must-Have Shoes For Him & Her
Happy feet, happy peeps!
Just like finding your soul mate in life, finding the perfect footwear is a rare and precious catch. Other than complementing your outfit, a good pair of shoes is like a best friend – it gives your feet adequate comfort and support! How many times have we mistakenly bought footwear that looked cute but turned out to be flimsy or uncomfortable? But, wearing comfortable shoes isn’t just about feeling good. Keeping your feet healthy also improves your overall well-being as the shoes you wear affects how you walk, your posture, and other parts of your body like your back, hips, ankles and knees. So, give your feet a break, and your body a boost! Here are our favourite must-have shoes for you ladies and gentlemen that will do your feet good while hitting the style mark!
Athleisure
Don’t you just love the athleisure trend? It means that being comfy in your favourite gym gear is totally cool. Plus, with the chunky, 90s-inspired Dad sneakers making a huge comeback, it’s time to shop for a trusty pair of sneakers that’ll liven up your look while keeping your feet snug and happy. They’re perfect for the weekend, for parties or even a long-haul flight!
1. Skechers X One Piece collection
Hit the streets with this quirky pair!
We love how the brand for everyone’s go-to comfort shoes has taken their style up a notch with this line. Their exciting collaboration with the popular Japanese manga is full of fresh, energetic vibes in bold shades and motifs inspired by characters from the comics. Even if you’re not a fan of One Piece, you’d be a convert after trying on these shoes. The sneakers feature an Air-Cooled Memory Foam cushioned insole and a shock absorbing midsole design, so you’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds while making a style statement.

These vintage-inspired sneakers pack a ton of fun and laidback vibes that are perfect for a Spring/Summer look. The original shoe was designed in 1994, and 25 years on, its latest revamp comes in a pleasant colour mix you won’t stop gushing about. Its suede, leather and mesh textures also form a sleek exterior while the foam midsole will keep your feet feeling light and bouncy all day. While soft on the inside, it has a hardy, wear-resistant rubber outsole that’ll stick with you even on the toughest days!
For guys, you can easily match this pair with block-coloured high socks and casual jogger pants or berms. And for ladies, the pastel coloured model would go perfectly with a sundress or a monochrome shift dress for a more formal look!

Walking for long hours can cause aching feet, plus add extra strain on your knees and ankles – especially if your feet aren’t getting the support they need. These Dr. Kong sport shoes come with varying insoles for different arch supports based on your foot’s needs, as well as a sloped heel to keep the heel upright. The hard heel also helps to counter-stabilise the heel bone and has a firm midsole to support your body weight.
