“Beauty is pain” is an age-old saying—but style doesn’t have to mean suffering in silence. Physical and mental health are critical, and shoes are the physical support foundation for your body and mind.

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) reports that 49% of women wear heels and 71% experience pain while doing so. For many women, heels are the obvious option when dressing up for work or special events. But heels can bring pain, soreness, and aching, and sneakers can feel far too casual.

Tieks ballet flats eliminate the difficult choice between comfort and class. Their innovative split-sole design and flexible midsole allow the luxury flats to effortlessly fold in half, making it easy to travel with multiple pairs that feature different prints and patterns. Tieks look fashionable and feel good, proving that beauty isn’t always pain.

Comfort is Key

Choosing between taste or toe torture is a common issue among women and girls. Many women have experienced that moment when the cute heels can’t make the walk back to the car, when band-aids are needed to cover blisters, or when excessive standing creates debilitating back pain. No one should have to worry about how much their feet will hurt or if a pair of shoes will make it through a day of work or fun.

Podiatrist Dr. Jodi Schoenhaus has talked at length about the long-lasting health effects that can come from wearing uncomfortable shoes. Foot pain, back pain, and various redness and soreness are common when wearing uncomfortable heels or shoes that just don’t fit right. While Tieks are known for their chic, versatile design, their function is even more impressive than their form.

Cushioned backs, insoles with advanced foam cushioning, and a flexible midsole make Tieks a shoe that can mold to your foot, providing comfort without soreness, redness, or aching. Every Tieks shoe features thick non-skid rubber outsole patches that provide traction and shock absorption, allowing you to take every step with confidence and comfort.

Feel Good From Head to Toe

Looking good has never felt better, especially with shoes that are cute, cohesive, and comfortable. Many women rave about Tieks for their all-day support, lasting quality, and seamless ability to match any outfit. 

With over 70 styles to choose from, you can match any outfit with a sleek pair of shoes: Palm Springs Pink for a spring brunch, Chestnut for some subtle warmth in a cold breeze, Lemon Patent to match the summer sun, or Golden Glitz for a night on the town. No matter the dress code, Tieks ballet flats will make for a chic, cohesive look.

When pain isn’t a worry and your fashion is on fire, your mood improves with every step. With Tieks, beauty isn’t always pain, and comfort can be cute and classy.
