HOLIDAY KIT W
ith scorching temperatures in the UK over the Easter break, your customers are already in the mood for summer. With their sunshine holidays shimmering on the horizon, you will need to have your answers ready for what they need for some practical, but
fashionable, holiday kit... Comfort no longer has to be sacrificed on the altar of style, and looking good on holiday doesn’t necessarily mean enduring the ‘breaking-in’ of your chosen sandal and the sticking plasters this requires. Advances in shoe design and technology have led to a new generation of healthy footwear brands, which keep you in shape and also look pretty cool! In this issue, we beach-test some this summer’s hottest styles – including fully adjustable foot thongs with orthotic footbeds, approved by podiatrists. Also, some elegant, yet supremely comfortable sandals for the ladies that will take them effortlessly from the beach to the nightclub, but won’t break the bank! All the styles featured have received a big thumbs-up from our editorial team at Footwear Today.
Aetrex Sandalistas Possibly the healthiest shoes your customers will ever wear - and very stylish! Each pair includes customised anatomical footbeds with unique arch supports, designed specifically for individual foot types and approved by podiatrists. The Customised Comfort collection incorporates Aetrex’s patented Mozaic Technology to allow your customers to customise the sandals for personal comfort. All designs are fully adjustable and include stretch fabrics, memory foam and anti-microbial linings. A must-have this summer! Catalina
