    Ellie IV - Blonde Womens US 09.0 / Blonde
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Excellent service and comfortable shoes

    As someone with bunions, a wide forefoot and narrow heel, the Ellie IVs are perfect. I’ve had to go up a full size to get the right fit as usually Frankie4 shoes are too narrow. But the toe shape on these shoes allows my foot to sit naturally in the shoe. I wish Frankie4 had more options for people who can’t wear pointy shoes!

    Frankie 4 Ellie-what's not to love.

    These are my 3rd pair of Frankie4 Ellie shoes. As a teacher, who uses orthotics, they're great to walk, stand and do all my teaching duties without any feet problem. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

    Best shoes ever - Amazing delivery- thank you

    Hi Footgear Team,

    I wanted to thank you for the delivery of my Frankie4 Ellie shoes. I’m so impressed.

    My shoes arrived 4 days after ordering, perfectly timed for me to wear them the next day. I appreciated your customer support and reassurance my order was safe.

    This is my 7th pair of Ellie’s all in different colours. Each pair is just wonderful

    Many thanks

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Great fit.

    These sneakers work really well for me as I have a Tailor's bunion at the base of one little toe. The inner sole provides the right support without pressure on the front of the foot.

    Great colour.

    I wanted a grey leather sneaker and these are a great colour. The pewter effect is subtle, not too silver sparkly.

FIT TIPS FROM THE SHOP FLOOR

From instore fittings we’ve found Ellie works well for those with bunions and wider feet. Due to the shape of the toe box and the 1/2 insert provided in the sole saver pack makes this the go-to style.

However, Sue from our Garden City store also finds this one of the best shoes for her narrow feet when used with the fore-foot cushion.

Extra sizing tip – if you’ve worn the Nat or Jackie before, we have found most people wear ½ a size bigger in ELLiE. (so if you wear size 8 in Nat, you may suit a size 8.5 in Ellie).
