Arch support
Orthotic Friendly
A design powerhouse, Ellie Black is one of the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever wear. Crafted with soft leather, Ellie’s dual support system support hugs your feet and cradles your arches every step of the way. A win for work, her luxurious comfort and style go the extra mile.
*This style meets and/or exceeds the slip resistance test ISO 13287:2019 (SRC). Please note that while they are slip resistant, they are not completely slip-proof. Please use general caution as you would in any other shoe. **FRANKIE4 Sole Saver Pack™ includes a full-length Sole Hero™ Support Footbed, a half-length Sole Hero™ Support Footbed, and forefoot cushions.
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).

Sole Hero™ Footbed
The Sole Hero™ Footbeds lifts, cradles and cushions the heel, while its arch support goal is to help with better lower limb alignment. Cleverly hidden in the design are two-zones of cushioning, with the aim to prevent pain points.
Sole Saver Pack™
Piece together your perfectly tailored fit with the Sole Saver Pack™, included in the box. Each pack features customizable (two full-length footbeds, two half-length footbeds and two forefoot cushions to be exact) and a complementary bag for you to mix-and-match according to your needs.
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!
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.
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
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.
I wanted a grey leather sneaker and these are a great colour. The pewter effect is subtle, not too silver sparkly.
