Hobes

Hobes

I wear high/ very high/ ankle-sprainingly high heels (learnt the hard way...) most days so looking at photographs of comfortable-looking flat shoes is like porn, and Hobes shoes look seriously comfortable.  Hobes is a new Australian handmade, unisex shoe brand which has just launched in the UK with three styles of casual, well-cut shoes in nine colours. Other than the comfort (OMG I bet they feel like socks), I like the stripped down to basics simple design which is laid-back and versatile, making them a throw-in-your-suitcase-they’ll-go-with-everything staple shoe.  


As a summery alternative to the shoeboot, I'd stomp around in the Women's Original Hobe in Charcoal Suede with summer dresses and pretty skirts.  The label launched in Melbourne last spring and is set to become a cult hit over here too; Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Poppy and Cara Delevigne have already ordered theirs - drop £104 and you’ll be in good, comfortable company.
