Frankie: Black Snake Print Leather - Good Housekeeping Featured Boots

“20,000 steps, no blisters! These boots were made for walking.” - Lynne Hyland's Sole Bliss Review

Good Housekeeping recently put Sole Bliss shoes to the test and LOVED them!

We invited Good Housekeeping's Beauty Director, Lynne Hyland, to take our boots for a test-drive and review Sole Bliss. Lynne has spent the past two decades testing and reviewing the latest in everything from skincare and aesthetics to spas, fragrance and makeup… and now Sole Bliss shoes!

She knows first-hand the struggle of finding comfortable shoes for bunions. Following her bunion surgery, she was left with stiff, arthritic toes and most wide fit shoes just didn't cut it. After sending back pair after pair, Lynne decided it was time to try Sole Bliss.

She tested our 'Frankie' Boots. They are handmade in Italy from luxe black snake print leather and feature a spacious square toe-shape and supportive block heel. Just like all Sole Bliss shoes, these boots contain our Miracle Comfort Technology, which includes a deep and wide toe-box, our Bunion Bed stretch panel, and three layers of soft and supportive underfoot cushioning.

As soon as she slid her feet in, Lynne knew she'd found her perfect boots. There was no pinching, no rubbing, and no break-in period needed at all. Lynne said: “As soon as I slid my feet into the easy-access, side-zipped design, I really did have that magical ‘the shoe fits!’ moment.”

Lynne really put the boots to the test at Good Housekeeping Live, wearing them for three long days across exhibition halls, stages, green rooms and a bustling Christmas market.

Lynne said: “By the time I flopped onto my living room sofa on the evening of day one, I was stunned to discover I’d racked up over 20,000 steps, yet never for a second regretted wearing my shiny new boots… there wasn’t a trace of blistering or rubbing. Tellingly, the pair of dependable flats I’d packed in case of blisters remained untouched, and stayed that way for the rest of the show.”

In her Sole Bliss review, Lynne also refers to other customers who have tried and reviewed Sole Bliss boots. One customer wrote: “My feet hate any new shoes, and it takes FOREVER to break them in. Not this time!! I wore the boots non-stop on a trip, walking literally miles a day, and my feet have never been so comfortable. Worth every penny!!!”

Nearly a year on, Lynne's ‘Frankie’ boots are still going strong. The leather remains pristine, the heel shows no signs of wear, and she styles them with everything from bootcut jeans to dresses. They’re still as comfortable and stylish as ever!

Good Housekeeping's Beauty Director, Lynne Hyland wears 'Frankie' in Black Snake Print Leather

“This is no ordinary boot. This is genius!” - Amanda Marcantonio's Sole Bliss Review

We were delighted to be reviewed by Good Housekeeping AGAIN – this time for our ‘Wonder’ Boot. Fashion Director Amanda Marcantonio called it a “genius boot” and a “game-changing shoe”.

Our ‘Wonder’ Boots are shearling-lined boots which are handcrafted in Italy and contain all the components of our Miracle Comfort Technology. They also feature retractable studs which you can flip down to provide traction on slippery surfaces. All you need to do is flip the stainless steel studs down for grip and security on icy, treacherous sidewalks, then flip them back up once you're safely indoors.

Amanda isn't the only person raving about our 'Wonder' Boots. Oprah Winfrey included them in her Christmas 2024 gift guide, revealing that she and Gayle King, along with Julia Roberts and Viola Davis, are all fans of Sole Bliss.

Oprah said: “Gayle [King] and I love Sole Bliss shoes – and so do Julia Roberts and Viola Davis. These shearling-lined boots are cute and, thanks to their unique pain-free design, sooo comfortable.”

Praise like that, from someone who could wear absolutely anything, is exactly the validation we aim for with every design. Amanda herself put it best, writing in her Sole Bliss review that the ‘Wonder’ Boot “really is the gift that keeps on giving”.
