By three o'clock, most shoes have stopped being kind to you!

Just imagine slipping your feet into something soft first thing in the morning, then walking through the whole day — the errands, the grandchildren, the long aisles at the store — and coming home without that familiar ache across the ball of your foot. Now stop imagining, because that is exactly what the Catherine was built to do.

• Step In and Go
  There are no laces to tie and no heel to wrestle with. The soft knit collar stretches as your foot slides in, then settles gently around the ankle. Getting dressed in the morning no longer involves bending down to the floor.
• Cushioning That Lasts All Day
  A thick, gently rounded sole absorbs the impact your heel and knees would otherwise take, and rolls you softly forward with every step. It is the difference between counting the blocks back to the car and simply enjoying the walk.
• Breathable Knit Upper
  The upper is knitted in one piece rather than cut and stitched, so there are no hard seams pressing on a sensitive toe or a tender spot along the side of the foot. Air moves straight through the mesh, which keeps feet cool and dry on warm afternoons and long travel days.
• Quietly Elegant, Never Clinical
  This is where comfortable shoes usually go wrong. The scalloped collar curves along the top of the foot like a detail on a good blouse, and the clean, low profile sits just as happily under tailored trousers as it does with jeans. Nobody needs to know you chose them for your feet.
• Sure-Footed Anywhere
  The flexible non-slip outsole holds its grip on wet sidewalks, polished floors and gravel paths alike. The whole shoe weighs next to nothing, so it slips into a weekend bag without you ever noticing it is there.

You should not have to choose between a day that feels good and a pair that looks like you meant it — and here you do not. A note on sizing: these run a touch small, so if you are between sizes, take the larger one. Slip them on once and they quietly become the pair waiting by the door, the ones you reach for every morning without thinking, in whichever colors you find room for.
