By three in the afternoon, your feet should not be begging you to sit down!

Just imagine slipping on a pair in the morning and then simply forgetting about them — through the errands, the grocery aisles, the long walk back to where you parked. No pinching across the toes, no hot spot on the heel, no counting the minutes until you can take them off. Now stop imagining, because that is exactly what the Donna was made to do.

• Room Where You Need It
  Cut wide through the toe box and the ball of the foot, so a broader foot — or one that swells a little by evening — still has somewhere to settle. There is no breaking-in period; they feel kind from the very first hour.
• Step In and Go
  No laces, no buckles, no sitting on the edge of the bed working at a fastening. The elasticated slip-on opening stretches to let your foot through, then holds it gently in place so nothing slides at the heel.
• Cushioning That Lasts the Day
  A soft fabric lining sits against the skin instead of a seam, and the padded insole takes the hardness out of sidewalks and tiled floors. The stitched flexible sole bends with your foot rather than fighting it.
• Quietly Beautiful, Never Orthopedic
  This is where most comfortable shoes give themselves away. Here you get an embossed floral medallion at the vamp and a small hand-knotted tie — details you notice up close, while from across the room they simply read as a well-chosen flat.
• Three Colors, Endlessly Wearable
  Burgundy for a little warmth, Black for everything, Dark Brown for camel, cream and denim. Each one is finished in a supple man-made upper that wipes clean with a damp cloth.

So the afternoon stops being something your feet have to survive. Slip them on with trousers, with a skirt, with jeans on a Saturday — and do not be surprised when they become the pair you reach for before all the others, morning after morning.
