“Frankie4 is an Australian footwear brand founded by two podiatrists who’ve created some of the most comfortable heels we’ve tested. Within the Trinity flats are its proprietary ‘Sole Hero Footbeds,’ which have three layers of padding — each with different levels of cushioning in the forefoot, arches, and heels. This design helps engage the parts of your feet that need extra support.
Even though they look flat, the subtle heel raise makes them feel anything but. It’s a tiny detail that angles your feet out of the dead flat position, so your ankles are better aligned. You can also adjust the padding in the forefoot if the toe box feels too loose, since they come with extra gel cushions.
The outer leather feels super luxe, and the lining inside is buttery smooth and chafe-proof. My only regret is that this pair comes in just two colors. If you’re between sizes, the brand recommends going up a half size for its ballet flats. They’re definitely a splurge, but since Frankie4 operates out of a U.S. facility, they’ll be impervious to tariff price hikes.” — Gabrielle chase, senior associate style editor, Insider Reviews
