In summer I am a flats kind of girl, and while a pair of thongs is a traditional Aussie staple they aren’t always appropriate or comfortable for a day out.
FRANKiE4 is a footwear brand that is relatively new to me, and I have recently been lucky enough to road test my first pair with their ALiX style in chestnut (pictured).
There are two things that stand out about this brand, the first being how comfortable and well fitting the shoes are. Caroline McCulloch is the designer behind FRANKiE4 and with a background in podiatry and physiotherapy that gives you an idea of the added support your feet will be getting with you slip on a pair of these shoes.
The second thing you will notice is that the styles are not boring and you can be stylish while still being kind to your feet.
The ALiX shoes are leather with rubber soles and I have had so many compliments since wearing these. The natural colour makes them suitable for summer and they go with just about anything. I could literally wear these all day as they are that comfortable and well fitting.
ALiX is one design that features in the FRANKiE4 Summer collection and because we love them – the brand is giving Beauty and Lace readers the chance to win a pair too!
If you want the chance to win your very own pair of FRANKiE4 ALiX shoes in chestnut valued at $199.95, tell us in the comments section below why your feet deserve this treat!

Hi, I’m Anna the Editor of Beauty and Lace. This website was my first baby and since its launch, I’ve gained three kids, a husband, and a puppy! We want to keep this space positive, we are all about sharing the things we love – and avoiding the things we don’t. Happy reading x
These very comfortable and well fitting shoes would be perfect for me to wear all year round. They’d help my bunions from becoming worse.
Being pregnant means I have tired sore feet and I’d love to be pampered with these amazing comfy shoes as I’m now only able t wear flats to get around!
I deserve some feet comfort when I chase a busy toddler around the place constantly busy busy. If I wear Frankie4 at least they rest as they walk!
My feet and I deserve a BFF (Beautiful Functional Footbed) like Alix… to always offer support when needed, and soothe our soles.
All-Day Comfort you have me SOLD!
I wish I could find a pair of shoes that is like walking on a cloud.
Alix is that you?
Let’s face it, life is too short to wear bad shoes. Frankie4 ALiX Shoes provide comfort without compromising in style.
feet take the brunt of EVERYTHING, and they deserve a break too!
I love this style, so versatile, stylish and practicle
I have very ugly feet but with these shoes my feet will look great.
Our family business means I am constantly on my feet running around. These gorgeous shoes mean that I can do this in style and comfort.
Taking baby for shopping or a walk keeps my feet working and walking. They’re exhausted after a long day. Therefore a pair of comfy shoes are extremely important to relieve their burden and make them being ‘HAPPY FEET’.
Plantar Fasciitis hit me in both feet just prior to the start of the school holidays. I am told that, hopefully, I should recover in around 6 months…! But, chasing my 4 young children around, I am practically crippled and living in moccasins! I NEED to win this prize!
I have REALLY wide feet – so wide that my three sisters used to say I had Fred Flinstone feet!!! I’d love to spoil my feet with a pair of comfy, stylish Frankie4 shoes and make my mean sisters JEALOUS!
my feet have been working hard this year,
walking dogs and taking me everywhere.
they deserve this cosy treat,
to keep them happy in the summer heat.
With Frankie4 ALiX,
I’ll be doing joyful high kicks.
My feet comfortable all day.
So I can keep them on display.
My feet I abuse, squish into shoes, are my last thought in pampering, they deserve the best..
Poor feet have been carrying this curvy cuddly body around for 47 years they have earned a break
Because they work hard and play even harder!!
Between chasing my littles, pounding the paths in training, running around at work in ‘respectable’ shoes and (my fave) mucking about at the beach barefoot, my feet could really do with some love and attention! Frankie4 Alix would inject some much needed pampering not to mention effortless style and a dash of chic into high rotation in my repertoire…
The sandal is my style to a tee. They are gorgeous and a bonus is they are omfortable and long wearing.
Gosh me feet would sure love these sandals being in work boots during the week it would be wonderful to have a beautiful pair of sandals for the weekend
My feet have done the hard yards and walked a mile (and more) in my shoes – literally! They have supported me as I slogged it out at job interviews, patiently stood waiting with me for trains and provided transport when other alternatives has disappeared. I’d like to toot the horn for my tootsies and show them how much I appreciate all their hard work by proudly giving them an “ALiX-ir” of love.
With being on my feet all day and adding exercise on the treadmill to the equation, my feet are in dire need of comfortable footwear!
My poor little feet are tired and sore,
I don’t want to squash them any more.
You see my feet are really quite wide,
Which means most shoes rub them on the side.
My toes are compressed to fit the shoe,
It isn’t something comfortable to do.
So for their health and to pamper my feet,
I would like to give them a Frankie4 treat.
AliX I’d like for perfect tootsie style,
If my feet could I know they would smile.
That’s it, I’m on strike. We’re feet! Yes, we kick, we walk, we run. Hey, we even put up with the odd stubbed toe. But in 2014, you haven’t said thank you. No pedicure. No foot spa. No gentle rubbing. It’s just, go there, stand for hours, all while shoved in tight, unsupportive shoes. And ugly. Ug-LY! We won’t take it anymore. Strke, stri… Um, Frankie shoes? Comfort all day, and cute to boot? OK, we’d call off the strike for Frankie shoes.
OHS regulations determine what shoes. Wear to work but when I’m home and out and about I love to treat myself and my feet with gorgeous shoes that help them breathe.
My feet have toed the line all year, reward them with FRANKiE4 ALiX shoes to keep them instep and heal their sole to boot.
I’ve been browsing the Frankie4 website and adore their shoes! Whether I win or not, I’d love to purchase some gorgeous flats, they’re simply perfect!
My ‘ugly’ feet deserve a beautified treat!
Fankie4 would certainly bring me style and comfort for my feet who are so often neglected.
help i can never find where to get into read a book
