I LOVE shoes. You may have noticed that before. In fact, my business card actually has the words “shoe addict” as part of my job description.
So imagine my delight, when the amazing team at FRANKiE4 Footwear got in touch and wanted me to share with all you lovelies a little bit of info about their wonderful shoes!
FRANKiE4 Footwear is the brainchild of podiatrist and physiotherapist (what a combo!), Caroline McCulloch, who was on an endless search for a pair of shoes that were GOOD for your feet, but that looked fun and fashionable too.
Her battle cry? “Women no longer need to compromise! I’m saving soles in style – For myself, my clients and women everywhere!” – after wearing these for the past few weeks, I say mission accomplished Caroline!
So here are just two of the gorgeous Summer collection, The JENNi trainer in gold, and the Monica boots in tan. I’ve styled them both two ways to show you how much awesome versatility (which you KNOW is my favourite fashion word) out of both these styles.
Introducing….. The MONiCA Heel
DRESS THEM UP: The shape and colour of this wee ankle boot makes it the perfect “girly” boot. The cut-outs and the piping give it an edge, and they are PERFECT for wearing all day long! I’ve taken to wearing these little ladies on shopping excursions with clients and it’s so nice not to have aching feet at the end of the day.
DRESS THEM DOWN: Tan ankle boots and skinny jeans, a match made in heaven right? The good, solid heel gives you great support when you’re running around on the weekend, the ankle strap is totally adjustable, so it fits you YOUR foot, and there is great cushioning and arch support (crucial for this high-arched gal here).
Introducing…… The JENNi Trainers
COOL & CREATIVE: The metallic finish just adds a little somethin’ somethin’ to any look, great for a casual work environment don’t you think?
But, what I love THE MOST about these shoes is that they come with TheFRANKiE4 Custom Fit System – included in every box (excluding sandals) is a full length Functional Footbed for ladies with regular width feet, a 1/2 length footbed for those with wider feet and additional forefoot cushions for ladies with narrower feet –
WEEKEND CASUAL: You KNOW I loves me some trainers – make them gold and girl, you are getting pretty close to my perfect shoe. Once again, team them with jeans and you are hot-to-trot for a weekend of running around.
NOW. make sure you hop on over to theFRANKiE4 website – it’s PACKED with awesome information on how to fit your shoes correctly, what Caroline is thinking about in the design process, plus they explain all the amazing design features waaaaaay better than I ever could.
So if you really are interested in “Saving your soles in style” make sure you get yourself a pair (or 4) of FRANKiE4 Footwear. You’ll thank me later!
Frankie4 Footwear is available to buy online, and from selected shoe stores in Aus, PLUS they are just about to start stocking in NZ so keep you eye on the website and Facebook for updates on that.
If you can’t find your size online, be sure to get in touch with FRANKiE4 on info@frankie4.com.au and they can assist in finding your size at one of their stockists.

Competition Ts & Cs
This is a game of skill. All entries will be judged on their creativity by us.
The giveaway is open to New Zealand residents over 18 years of age. It commences on Friday January 22 2016 and closes on Friday 29 January 2016. The winner will be decided on Tuesday 2 February 2016 and then contacted via email. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours to our email, another winner will be chosen. By entering this competition, entrants accept that I will email the winner with the email provided and publish their name on this blog post and that your email will be added to the Chasing Cait mailing list.
This may be too much information, but I have a verruca between my toes and dang it hurts ! When wearing shoes it hurts even more. And my other foot is recovering from blisters ! The most comfortable option at present is to go barefoot. I don’t know how I got myself into this lame state, I’m usually quite active. According to Louise Hay, feet problems ‘represent our understanding – of ourselves, of life, of others’ and toes ‘represent the minor details of the future’. So, perhaps time for a little mindful contemplation, letting go, and trust. I am starting a new job soon, dementia care, where I will be on my feet a lot. Having checked out the Frankie4Footwear range I am well impressed with their Custom Fit design features, how fabulous ! And am swooning over Rosie in Rouge, alas sold out, and Nina in Tommy Blue, alas these blue suede shoes have also sold out. I always go for the popular ones * I am however a practical gal and like you, super inspired by Jenni in Gold, and Ellie in Silver. My cat is called Ellie, sweet name. Neat shoe. Anyhow, pick me ! Pretty please. My feet will thank you for it *
OUCH! Sounds like your feet need some of these fabulous shoes!! Good luck with the competition and thanks for entering 🙂
I’d have to choose the Liz boot (I didn’t go for the most expensive pair on purpose!). I spent ages last winter trying to find boots like this. I love the block heel – they look like the perfect height and really comfortable. I’d probably go for the black, although the tan look pretty good too…… 😄
I know right? Trying to choose between the colours is hard! Wait until you see NEXT winter! It’s soooooo good too!
thanks for entering 🙂
Dear Cait and Frankie
I need some new shoes
My poor soles have the blues
I’ve been hanging out in jandles
The recently caused a scandal
It caused me to frown
As I slipped out of them and fell down
I tried not to swear
“Stupid ‘all terrain footwear’!”
I rolled my ankle
It turned into a cankle
There was not much to be done
And I missed out on summer fun
So could I please have some Jenni trainers
The look delightful
They’ll replace my jandles
Which in terms of great footwear, are rather frightful!
Love Wendy xx
haha I love it Wendy! those jandals definitely need to be replaced!
Good luck and thanks for entering x
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Keep the flowers
I’d rather have a pair of FRANKiE4 Nubuck Boots
Thanks Cait & FRANKiE4 for the sweet competition!
haha cute poem Linny! thanks for entering and good luck!
I love the Monica boot, the colour is divine and the piping gives it edge. It’s hard to find a boot that elongates the leg line and this one ticks all the boxes for me! (I’ve been searching for so long now). Thank you so much to Frankie4 Footwear and you Cait for the opportunity to win this awesome footwear.
They are such the perfect little boot aren’t they Jo!
thanks so much for entering and good luck x
Yay thanks for the possibility of scoring a pair of these fantabulous shoes I’ve been admiring them on the feet of some of your blog sisters and of course on you. The hard part of this comp is actually deciding which pair are my favourites – I’m a Libra so the scales take a while to balance out – but all in all I’m looking ahead to the colder months when I start to loose my fashion mojo and really need a hit of style – the black Liz boots are my pick.
Oh it’s my pleasure Kym! They really are great shoes 🙂 So many to choose from 🙂
good luck and thanks for entering
Did someone say SHOES!! 👡👠 my obsession as most of my friends, both female and male seem to know. Not sure why lol.
Have to say the Monica Heel would be my pick and needing all the help I can get with height, being not short but fun size!! But is nice to be up there in the world.
A great pair to add to my ever growing collection.
One of my fav shoe brands! The perfect mix of style and comfort! I’m a real ‘dress and trainers’ kinda girl … so the Ellie silver metallics will fit into my wardrobe perfectly!
ooooh good choice! How awesome is the dress+trainers deal haha
Good luck and thanks for entering x
Love Frankie4 Footwear! I haven’t been able to try a pair for myself yet but have been eyeing up the JENNi in gold as after two back surgeries, the last a fusion, I can’t wear heels very often or for very long -sitting down dinners only really! – so I’m always on the look out for gorgeous and comfy flats with that little something extra! They’ll be great for running the kids around to school and sports and I can still look stylish! And these practically have the same name as me so I think they need to be in my shoe robe 😂❤️👟👠 I wonder if this would be convincing enough to my husband… Haha! Thanks!
haha they sound perfect for you Jenna! I think that hubby would totally agree 😉
good luck and thanks for entering x
OMG how to chooose?! I love them all. The Monica, Margie, Ellie, Jennie they are all beautiful!
Fingers crossed I can take one of them home with me to live happily ever after! x
I know right? So hard to choose!
thanks for entering doll! good luck~ x
Gosh so many amazing entries…….. how does one beat these 🙂
I’m new to Franki4e’s, I have to say I’m loving the Margie – Gold of course, thinking they will look perfect under my wedding dress 🙂 Getting married, on the beach in Rarotonga in November and have been looking for some lovely sandals to wear! I’ve been told to go bare feet, but I can’t get my mother’s voice out of my head (nice girls don’t go bare feet, hahahaha)! Will have to add to the budget 🙂
ooooooh your wedding sounds perfect! The Margie would be great! x
… Look I must confess… 2.5 years being a stay at home mum and now back on my feet in the retail game again. The facts are that my feet are just not match fit like they used to be ! Gone of my days cruising through a 10 hour day on the shop floor in a heel ! Comfort is now key… Hence the Nina in silver or the Jenni in gold, these girls are my saviours !! Clearly they are speaking my language.. A bit of metallic rocking the sport luxe with total next level comfort ! They had me at Hello…. Xx
How awesome is the metallic+trainer thing! Music to my ears! I hear ya sister – these are the perfect puppies for the retail floor x
With the prize of the lovely ‘Monica’, please save me from the hellish prospect of returning to work (after 5 years at home with my babies) wearing jandals, gumboots or slippers! I’ve just started looking for work and amongst all the crises of confidence that this comes with, is the total lack of a stylish, work-appropriate wardrobe. I suspect my once-pumped heel muscles have atrophied to withered stems, so if I hope to wear a heel for more than 15 minutes, they’d better be comfortable. I’m just so glad that someone clever has finally grasped that shoes should be GOOD to your feet – big ups!
bahahaha! I just had a vision of your on your first day back at work in gumboots!
Sounds like Frankie4’s will be perfect for the transition back to work 🙂
Oh so many gorgeous shoes, but I think the Liz or the Jennie, but I foblove the Monica, how is a call to choose!
I know right? too many good options haha x
Where has this brand been all my life??!! Comfortable and cute, I’m sold! The Jamie boots in tan and peach are fabulous! The pop of colour is refreshing 🙂
so cute aren’t they Alasha 🙂 I’m happy I’ve been able to bring the amazingness that is frankie4 to you 🙂
Belinda or Jenni how can I choose,
Which to have as my very first shoes?
Frankie4 makes it so hard,
I’d love them all to fill up my yard.
If I win this prize I’ll be over the moon,
If not, never fear, they’re at Willow soon 🙂
Oh wow! I’ve been coveting Frankie4 Footwear ever since I first saw the super stylish fashionistas (including you) showcasing them on Instagram. How amazing would it be to have a pair of shoes with my very own name (Jenni trainers in gold)?? That said, I think the Belinda wedge in tan is my current favourite.
Fingers crossed!
haha what an awesome entry!! thanks so much Jen!
Good luck with the comp – fingers crossed!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
Boots thats actually fit my flippers, it’s so damn hard to find nice shoes/boots for big footed females.
I would love to add these to my collection of sneakers and slip ons so that I actually have/own a dressy pair of footwear.
great choice Tash!! The awesome news is, even if you don’t win, FRANKiE4 will be stocked in Willow shoes around the country too! (they specialise in 10+ sizing!)
Oh Cait! I would love a pair of those goooorgeous gold JENNi trainers- my husband and I have been saving for a year to go on our dream vacay to New York. (Coming up in April!) I get really sore feet from trainers that aren’t good for my soles! So walking the streets of New York in shoes that are good for my feeties annnnnnd look fab (so I don’t need to rock sneans!) Would be so ideal .. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for some styley flats that will be good for long distance walking! This would totally make my trip! Xo
OH wow! I’m so jealous of your holiday!! New York is my dream destination! Good luck in the comp, you’re totally right, a pair of FRANKiE4 shoes would be perfect for your trip! x
Being a shoe addict myself too. I am heartbroken that over the Christmas period our home was extensively burgarled and I lost most of my shoes (all jewellery, personal items and nearly all my clothes) as well as many many other items. I would LOVE to add the Jenni Trainers to my new shoe collection!!
OMG Melanie! that’s terrible! Good luck in the comp, thanks for entering x
Hi Cait. I love ELLiE silver, actually really hard to choose. I also find it hard to find shoes I like, pretty easy with these. Jenni is lovely too.
SOOOO hard to choose right?? ELLiE is next on my list too 🙂
thanks for entering and good luck! x
We’re a bit of a girly family..last time I got in a fight with my older sister (we’re in our mid-thirties mind you) she accused me of having flat feet lol. I think with the Monica tan heel I would prove her wrong!!
bahahaha! that’s so funny! (and such a cutting insult!)
Good luck in the comp! thanks for entering 🙂
Before I had kids, I had some style,
Now from the shops I run a mile,
Trying on shoes ain’t what it use to be,
with two little ones yelling “need to wee wee”
It’s not easy finding shoes that are comfy,
One’s that will last while chasing my little Humpfrey,
Mostly I dress in sneakers,
but they are growing little peakers,
So for me I’d love a pair of Jamie’s,
To stop me looking like a Lamie.
OMG Hannah that is brilliant!! thanks so much for a fab entry and good luck in the comp! Other ladies, you have some work to do!
I love the ELLie shoes in Silver Metallic Leather because (well why wouldn’t you love them – style AND comfort winning I say!).
Shoes either make the look or break it. They can make you look thinner or fatter. They can make you look elegant or plain natural.
Shoes are everything, and no outfit is complete without them 🙂 These beauties are definitely everything!
GREAT choice! I love the ELLiE’s too – totally agree that they complete an outfit 🙂 thanks so much for entering and god luck
I love the black belinda – probably not for summer… so maybe the tan belinda right now and the black ones for winter xx
Great choice Felicity – the Belinda’s are a nice choice 🙂
Ooooh the trainers!! The gold trainers!! Because my feet deserve comfortable sparkle oozing with style, I can already plan the outfits! I’m in love 😍
How amaze are the trainers!! Your feet totally deserve sparkle and style! thanks for entering my love xx
The Jamie boots in tan are what I have been looking for! As a stay at home mum of two kids it’s hard to not wear sneakers every day, these would help me look stylish and feel great with minimal effort!
They are perfect boots aren’t they Hannah 🙂
I’d love to win the gold jenni sneakers. I’m feeling a bit mumsy/frumpy with my wardrobe atm. The gold would add a zing and make my heart sing, whilst still being practical for life with my 4 month old!
You are so right Kathy, perfect for giving your wardrobe a bit of pop 🙂 thanks so much for entering and good luck!
Ooh the Belinda Shoes are my favourite, but it would be a toss up between the black and the tan. They look so stylish and comfortable – a hard combination to achieve!
I know right Melissa! I can never choose between black and tan! Both great options though! Good luck in the comp!
Mum to two very active toddlers here who keep me on my toes all day (ha, see what I did there!), so practicality and comfort are winners for me and I love the sporty but ‘pulled together’ look of the metallic Nina trainers. What an awesome prize!
Haha I totally see what you did there 🙂 I’m with you, I love how the metallic just adds a little extra to a trainer right? Good luck with the comp and thanks so much for entering!
Without a doubt I would choose the Ellie in metallic silver! Casual but fun and would be able to wear with so many things! Perfect shoes for my job as a teacher too!
They are actually the perfect teacher shoes Sophie! I love the Ellie – they are super-cute 🙂 good luck in the comp!
Ahhhh I love them, especially the Monica heel…. Off to a wedding shortly and they would too off my outfit perfectly and mean I could keep my shoes on ALL night, yet maintain my amazing dance moves!!!
Haha yeah you totally could! The Monica sure is a great heel for dancing the night away 🙂 Good luck and thanks so much for entering 🙂
I am a shoe addict as well, and well known for my shoe closet but sadly can’t wear them at the moment as I am pregnant and have cankles by the afternoon due to the heat and working on my feet in retail all day! I would love to try the Monica Heel and see how my feet are after a full day of work
Oh you brave girl!! I had enough trouble with my feet in retail NOT being pregnant! These are definitely the shoes for you then 🙂 Good luck and thank you so much for entering!
This came at JUST the right time. I’ve had a bit of a dodgy hip lately and I think it is partially the result of wearing poorly made shoes to school everyday. My dad insists I should just ‘wear joggers!’ With A-line dresses. Thanks dad…
I think the Tan Penni would act as the perfect compromise – comfy yet stylish!
Haha good old dad! How awesome is it that with FRANKiE4 shoes you can wear “trainers” and look super-stylish!!! Good luck and thank you so much for entering!
The Jenni trainers in gold are amazing! Being a stay-at-home-Mum, fun shoes are never in the budget. The only part of the corporate world I miss is the clothes and shoes I used to wear! Comfort with a little edge – ticks all the boxes!
How amazing are they! and ticking all the boxes for sure xx
I love the Nina in Ash Gold!! Gorgeous
Definitely the Monica Heel for me. I work in retail and have to stand all day on a concrete floor. Love wearing heels but my feet don’t. Love the tan colour – these would go with so much. Thanks for sharing this with us.
My pleasure Karen! they are such a versatile shoe – any of the FRANKiE4 range would be perfect for you retail gals!! Good luck and thanks so much for entering!
Oh god, how to choose?? I quite seriously want them all!!
Being vertically challenged however and not being able to wear high heels ( that’s another story..) I am thinking penni in tan or maybe Belinda in black 💗
The Belinda wedges are a great choice Kathy! That little bit of height without any of the drama of heels right?
thanks so much for entering and good luck!
I am a shoe addict too! And I just can’t go past the Monica Boots in Tan. I LOVE the cut out shape, its exquisite! And tan is always the perfect choice for as I am an indecisive Libra. Because it’s that gorgeous midtone, I can wear it with everything! 😊😱😍
I love the Jenni trainers! Style + comfort = winning for running around after the kids! I also really struggle to find comfy shoes as I have wider than average feet, so these sound awesome.
Ellie trainers. Casual yet funky and woukd look oh so good for work and play.
Nailed it Marnie! they are a great all round shoe aren’t they – thanks so much for entering! good luck 🙂
I love the Margie in walnut and white. Would look great for summer!
*sigh* so many to choose from; the Monica boot, the Belinda or Lauren (in black & zebra) sandal and the Kat in watermelon are all very nice & it’s nice to see larger sized shoes too.
Great choices Marian! I know, so many to choose from – and yes, the bonus of bigger sizes!!! Thanks so much for entering and good luck!
Cait…. Yes, finally fashion and comfort together! 😘 Last night I shopped 3 hours for shoes to last training at work on my feet. I sadly went home empty handed.
Frankie seems to have saved me. So where should I start: Jenni in gold for funday Sunday, Jamie tan/peach for all I teach, Janelle in gold they will be sold, and Liz in black will have my back. 💖
I love it Hayley!! You’ve totally nailed how you could wear them all!!! Nice work, thanks for entering and good luck!
It’s so hard to choose one pair, basically I over the moon at all the options in my size (11)!!
I think the Jenni Trainers in gold are my top pick because I would wear them all the time. Such a cute way to add some glamour to the school run.
Oh yay! So happy they have your size! (and in even better news, FRANKiE4 will be stocked in Willow Shoes around the country too! they specialise is shoes 10+)!
thanks so much for entering and good luck!
Elle in silver would be amazing
they are so amazing Salli! thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I would love the Jenni trainers as I am a New Entrants teacher so NEVER sit down and it is impossible to find shoes that are comfy AND stylish 🙂 Plus my 5 year olds would love the colour :p
OMG Sarah, these are actually the perfect teacher shoes! Good luck and thanks so much for your entry
Loving the Jenni trainer in gold!!! Gold shoes go with EVERYTHING and I have a fast paced retail management job and my feet do suffer! Id love to win a pair for my feet so in the future I won’t be hobbling!
Gold TOTES goes with everything right? Any of the FRANKiE4 range is perfect for a crazy retail job (believe me, I’ve been there sista!)
Good luck and cheers for entering!
Omg such gorgeousness to choose from! I do feel I NEED a pair of Sophie’s in my life, to take me from work to home with the kids, hanging out in jeans or with a dress for date night with hubby…. I loves them!!! <3
SOOOO many good choices right? The Sophies are really cute 🙂 great choice and good luck!
I’m loving all these shoes but especially the ELLIE in silver metallic, thats my choice. Loving that Frankie4 shoes are sole saving – wishing I had taken more care of my feet in my 20’s & 30’s – AHH the young feet days, it was all about the fashion and not the function or consequences back then!…… now in my 40’s orthotic footwear are a must for me….I have joined the mailing list at Frankie4 & fingers crossed for a win (I have my sons engagement party in March and these Ellie shoes would be perfect for it) 🙂
Thanks so much for your entry Barb! How lucky are we that we have some fabulous shoes like FRANKiE4 now that can look after our feet AND look cute too! Good luck x
Monica for sure they are gorgeous! Cait I have a question….can I ask what size US you are in these shoes compared to what size you are in NZ shoes. I am an 11 but am thinking I might need a 12US? Love your blog. Cheers Trish
Hey Trish, they are awesome aren’t they. The sizing is the same for AUS/NZ and US with these shoes – they just mean they don’t use the European sizing (like 38, 40 etc) so stick with your normal size here in NZ.
thanks so much for entering!
I adore the Monica heel – I struggle to find high heels that are comfortable and stylish.
the Monica’s really are amazing aren’t they!
Monicaherl in tan, been looking at these for ages but not sure on width. I have long skinny feet
Oh they will be perfect! I have long, skinny feet too and they fit me like a glove 🙂
I have been coveting Frankie4 Footwear since seeing all the super stylish Fashionistas looking so fab in them on Instagram (including you!). While I would be beside myself to have a pair of shoes with my name (the gorgeous Jenni trainers), I think the Belinda wedges in tan would be an AMAZING addition to my wardrobe! It would almost be like becoming a brand rep 🙂
haha it’s practically meant to be! Your name-sakes are amazing, as are the Belinda’s so great taste you have!
thanks for entering and good luck!
The MARGiE’s in Walnut/White are a whole other level of fabulous!
She walked Up the hill with a sparkle in her eye, a smirk on her lips, a sassy sway in her hips.
Passerbys paused to stare, there was no ache on her face, and her shoes weren’t even laced!
She walked back down past, they were flabbergast!
Those sandels of walnut and white, shouldn’t they cause her hill walking feet awful fright?!
By the fifth time she walked up this hill like it was a runway, they’d started to lose a little interest, she’ll get over it soon they muttered to themselves, then floating on the wind they heard a laugh “I’ll never get over my MARGiE’s!” As she sashayed past.
hahaha that is brilliant Danielle!! I love it so much, can’t wait to show the FRANKiE4 girls!!
thanks so much for such a creative entry – good luck!
So many fabulous choices. I’m having trouble deciding which shoe I like best. I’m torn between the Ellie, the Sophie and the Jenni. I think my absolute favourite is the Sophie. This style in black would be super easy to dress up or down, I love versatility in a shoe and I think it would be great for work. I’m a nurse so I’m on my feet most of the day and they look super comfortable.
Great choices Mel! They are all awesome, and definitely perfect for running around on your feet all day 🙂
thanks for entering and good luck!
I’m loving those Jenni trainers in gold (and that Monica boot!). As a nanny I do a lot of walking and general running around, the trainers would be perfect for work and lift every outfit that they are worn with.
This mumma is heading back to work and a pair of Sophie black crinkle patents would be perfect! All the shoes look fabulous, it was a difficult decision. My feet need some loving at the moment as they run around after two little people.
ooooh good luck with heading back to work! Sounds like these are the dream shoes for you!
Good luck and thank so much for entering 🙂
I love the gold Jenni trainers – they would be perfect for chasing after my three boys!
haha wouldn’t they just! They really are great shoes – I love mine!
Thanks so much for entering and good luck!
I would loveeeee to win the ellie silver metallic leather shoes. They are seriously so damn amazing. Also been following and looking up to you from very long and I just love the quality of all your shoess. Yay. Thanksss. Love you.
Oh thanks Mallika!
The Ellie’s are super-cute aren’t they
thanks so much for entering and good luck!
Thankyou- what a great opportunity. I want, scratch that, NEED some sexy black Belinda’s in my life. She would bedazzle my shoe collection and take me from frumpy SAHM to a lady who looks like she knows the comfort and style needed to keep me going all day. She would daringly remove flats from my life as my go to shoe. Saving my soles indeed
I have been stalking the Frankie4 website for a while now lusting after the shoes so am super excited that they will be stocked in NZ soon. It’s a tough call for a favourite but think I will have to go with the Monica, I haven’t worn heels for years due to comfort factor and the shoe/boot factor would push me out of comfort zone!
I know right? So excited that they are making the move across the ditch! The Monica’s are a great way to get back into heels/boots for sure! Good luck and thanks for entering!
I would love them simply because I am in desperate need of a shoe style revamp- I’ve been wearing my havianas nearly every day of the summer for my casual shoe. Let’s not forget about the active wear that I am trying to wean myself from wearing the whole day long after I’ve exercised. Eek. A little something cool and styley( sp?) would be so nice as I’ve reached that stage (40) where I’m not quite sure what exactly is styley and cool! I’m losing my confidence in picking things out sadly / so I you say they are cool — then I definitely want them. 🙂
haha Suzi these will DEFINITELY ease you out of your havianas! (meanwhile, sounds like we need to talk – I can get you out of that activewear in a heartbeat haha!)
good luck in the comp and if you want some more one-on-one help with your style, shoot me and email and we can talk through options 🙂
I broke my ankle in July and am starting back at school in term 1 and finding it difficult to find a stylish and supportive sneak to wear. I love that you have showcased this brand. I am finding it hard to choose between the Ellie – Metallic silver or Jenni- Gold 🙂
Oh no! you poor thing! Sounds like you need both haha
thanks so much for entering, good luck!
I would really love the Monica heel as I never really wear heels as I’ve always felt a bit tall and awkward in them, but these look like a perfect height and I love that you could dress them up or wear casually with skinny jeans like you have in the picture. Love the colour too! 😍
Own your height Anne! I know how you feel, but I now love being tall and wearing heels – the MONiCA’s are so versatile!
Good luck and thanks so much for entering
Wow I didn’t realise these go up to such large sizes! I have a size 12 hoof, but they’re narrow it’s a mish to find shoes to fit! So cool that these are adjustable. I’m in love with the Liz boots 🙂
I would love the Jenni trainer in gold. Would definitely put some spring, sparkle & shine in my step.
Plus all the kinder kids would think they were magical!!
“I found them” she cried, “the Ellie in black; Just the thing to get my style back on track.
Lingering long in my post baby blues, things might pick up if I could just get these shoes.
Hanging with friends or shopping in town, a few seconds in these will turn any frown upside down.
So Cait, I implore you, please hear my plea. These Frankie4 gems are the best shoes for me!”
haha that is so good!!! I love it – so an awesome entry, thanks Megan!
Good luck x
Tough decision between the boots (camel/brown oily nubuck AND Liz Black) AND the Jenni Gold – they look super cute and I love a good jean / runaround combo. So hard to choose!
So hard to choose right?
Good luck!
As a full time working mum of 2, I have pledged to pick up my daughter from school one day a week. However I now get the feedback “mum- are you picking me up today? I wish it was dad because you are always late”. With this in mind I would love the Monica heels. Perfect for a stylish look at work, and also with comfort hopefully I can run in them at speed when I arrive at school at 2.59pm (and sometimes 3.02pm 😬).
I like the fact you mention arch support as I too have high arches and daughters school is at the bottom of a hill, so this may also mean when running I don’t look like a baby giraffe.
Whether I win or not, love them!!
hahaha I look like a baby giraffe when I run too if it helps (which is probably why you’ll never see me running!)
Fingers crossed we can help you make the school-run more stylishly and quickly haha!
Good luck!
Wow so many great styles there! Tough choice but my faves would have to be the Jamie ankle boot in tan/peach. Not a very summery choice, but I live in christchurch, the weather is so up and down that ankle boots are needed even in January! The pop of colour is so cool!
I love a bit of bling to jazz up my footwear so it’s the gold Jenni style all the way! Adds some sparkle to an ordinary day!
haha cute rhyme Sorrel!! the JENNiS are amazing – good luck and thanks for entering 🙂
I’m all about comfort in shoes as my feet weren’t designed for heels, so I love this brand! Hard choice as they’re all fab…Love, love the JENNi trainers but might have to go with the BELiNDA in Tan as my comfy heel alternative.
Amazing! I would love a pair for myself, but if I did win a pair ( maybe the Jenni trainers) I would give them to my sister who is awesome 🙂
She is currently in a moon boot following surgery on her foot, as she has been in constant pain for the past few years. She was born with an extra bone in her foot. She loves shoes, but definitely is in need of good, podiatrist designed ones! 🙂
Forgot to mention she is an aid worker for a charity organisation who travels to villages in Africa helping them develop systems to obtain clean, safe drinking water. She’s a giver 🙂
Oh the Monica are Devine!!!!!!!! Love them..
So gorgeous aren’t they!!
My Goodness….I LOVE them all! So excited they are coming to NZ. It’s very hard to pick one pair when they all look fabulous…..but I would have to go with the Jenni Trainers as I’ve tried on so many trainers and they just aren’t that comfy. These ones sound perfect!
SO excited that are coming to NZ right? The JENNi trainers really are great – you’d love them!
Good luck and thanks for entering!
The JENNi trainers! Love the gold metallic (just love gold, just love trainers – what a combo!)… If you could see the state of my current trainers you would know why I need a new pair! Plus since I’m 7months preggers trainers are pretty much all I’m wearing right now! X
haha nailed the combo right?? I think you’d look super-stylin in these babies! Good luck lady and thanks for entering xx
Oh I’d love to win the MONiCA heels please.
I’m usually a flat wearer during the day but these look & sound ideal for everyday!
It’s my birthday 4 days after the competition drawer so perfect gift from my favorite sylist & fashion blogger!
Would look perfect with my black max dress come jacket that I rushed out to buy following your post on here about it! 🙂 Good luck all x
haha how good is that jacket! I must wear it more 🙂
The MONiCA’s are amazing (and flattery will get you everywhere… ;-))
Good luck and thanks so much for entering, and being an awesome reader x
I LOVE the Jenni trainer! Have wanted a cool pair of metallic trainers for awhile. Perfect show for a nanny – practical and stylish
The PEENi suits me so well as I have terrible feet (they were supposed to be broken when I was younger but it never happened and it causes me quite a lot of pain) I wear shoes out quite quickly and I can’t wear shoes too high/without support. If I do, I end up flat on my face – and it always happens in the rain, in public!
ouch! that sounds not much fun Ashleigh!
Well you’ll be happy these gorgeous shoes are heading to NZ
In the mean time thanks for entering the comp and good luck!!
I’m all about comfort after having my son & have foot issues so struggle with finding great fit shoes – so very excited they’re coming to NZ as have admired them on Styling You blog for a long time! I’d love the BELiNDA in Tan.
I know, so exciting they are heading our way right?
You’ll love all the FRANKiE4 shoes by the sounds of things!
Good luck and thanks so much for entering 🙂
OMG – totally love JeNNi trainers – love metallics and as a teacher comfort is number one. This would make a fab back to school look 🙂
Omg where have a been? Now don’t get me wrong Cait but I do always read your style bits and bobs and I’m always thinking must check out frankies website so now I’m like far out Brussel sprout she has fantastic shoes I just can’t make my mind up! I’m such a jandal girl but this summer I’ve tried to mix it up a bit and I decided I would get most wear out of the Penni shoes in Black but I also love the trainers too arghhhhh 🙂
haha I’ll forgive you 😉
They really are amazing shoes and I’m really excited they are coming to NZ!
Thanks so much for entering, the PENNi shoes are super-cute! Good luck!
Oh! What amazing shoes (and that says a LOT coming from me … I don’t have much of a shoe stash in my wardrobe)! What I do love are the ELLIE black smooth leather shoes – they look so comfy and stylish (and a heck of a lot nicer than my current Converse shoes)!!
I know the feeling! Don’t get me wrong, a Converse girl through and through here, but the FRANKiE4 trainers are another level of awesome!
thanks so much for entering and good luck!!

I’m super excited to read this blog & see they will be avail in NZ soon… I have been drooling over them in your FB styling you posts ever since you first mentioned them. I would love SEVERAL pairs, but I’ll start with the Monica in Walnut please!!…..insert more drool here…..
I’m just getting back into work and after so long in my Kindy drop off uniform of jeans and converse, I can’t bear to wear heels that I’m uncomfortable in so the Monica heel would be ideal!! (Plus I could use a bit of leg lengthening for sure!)
How amaze are they for running around every day! Good luck with the comp
So many to choose from. My best favourite is the SOPHiE Black Crinkle Patent. It looks very comfortable. It’s casual but very stylish. How cute would that be paired with my summer shorts or summer dress and will also look great on colder months!
I know right? So many good shoes! The SOPHiE is a great choice! Good luck with the comp 🙂
shows you how much I know I didn’t know that the Monica Tan ones were a boot! Good Grief – send me to “boot camp”.
too much great choice – I keep coming back to the Monica ones
haha well as much as a boot can be called that when it has so many open bits 😉
The Monica Heels for me! Loved the ways you could wear them! They look stylish, fabulous and comfortable! That’s a pretty darn fine combination!
Isn’t it just!! And perfect for you being a teacher!!
I’m loving the look of Frankie4 and after much deliberation I’ve decided the Liz boot in black is the perfect match for me. I own a furniture shop in Christchurch and I walk up and down our shop all day. I love wearing heels but a whole day in them at the shop just kills my feet. I find I tend to go for comfort ie. no heel, and I’m left feeling a little short of feminine. With the cooler weather in sight I’ve love to be able to strut my stuff in an awesome pair for heels that are sure to give me a “comfy ride” but still look ultra stylish.
oh you NEED a pair of these for sure Carmen! I love them because I spend heaps of time walking around shopping malls and I’m with you on the heel thing 🙂 good luck!
Stylish shoes that are comfortable are so hard to find, so reading your blog about Frankie4 is music to my ears. As I went through the different styles, my eye was caught on a beautiful pair of boots (black or camel) and thought those are definitely the ones. Then I saw the name of them “Liz” and thought … of course I love them – that’s my name too!!! Would love a pair of the black ones, as the last pair I had that are similar in style were ruined as I mistakenly wore them on a bush track… Doh! Thanks for running the competition Caitlin and Frankie4!
haha oh they are meant to be then aren’t they! Good luck with the comp 🙂
OK, so this excites me a bit. I’m 5’3 and would love to wear heels but struggle with the comfort; so this is AMAZING!! I would totally go for the Monica. Especially since you’ve showed how to style them xx
They are gorgeous aren’t they 🙂
This was a very difficult decision, as they are all so AWESOME!! In the end I also came back to the Monica in walnut (partially as I’ve followed you nude ankle boot/shoe posts, and love how versatile you make them look), and that is a big gap in my current wardrobe.
PS. also love the other brand/blogger collaborations that they have done and so grateful they are coming to NZ stores and bloggers. Cheers Caitlin
So exciting they are coming to NZ isn’t it Kelly! Good choice on the Monica – so versatile 🙂
I’d hermit crab myself into the ‘Liz’ Tan ankle boots and stay there for most of the year. Go with anything? Lengthen my legs? Beautiful shape and comfy too? I’d never want to move out…
hahahahaha I love it!!
Love the idea behind this shoe brand. Comfortable & stylish – win, win! I would love to win the tan heels – they look so versatile 🙂
Such a great idea isn’t it Rachel – perfect for stylish women everywhere
Omg went through website so many great shoes. Very much like the gold Jenni trainers first and foremost followed by the tan heels. Both need to add to collection.
Sooooooo many good shoes right??
Loving the Jenni trainers, I’d def be keen to add a pair of those goldies to my wardrobe! Love the way you’ve styled them for a pop of colour to your outfits xx
Thanks Anna! I love how they add a bit of something, something to any outfit right?
