A letter from Julie · Scott & Daughters
Comfortable All Day, Without Looking Like a Comfort Shoe
Of everything in our summer range, this is the sandal I'd put in your hands first: orthopaedic comfort made for a whole day on your feet, pain-free from morning to evening.
Every summer the same thing happens. Women come into the shop in sandals that looked lovely in the morning and are finished by lunchtime: thin soles, straps that slip, toes on show when they'd rather they weren't.
They tell me the same thing: they've given up on finding a sandal that's comfortable for a whole day and looks like something they'd choose to wear.
The Lorelei is my answer to that. Here's exactly why.
Orthopaedic comfort for a whole day on your feet
Most summer sandals sit almost flat on the ground. By the afternoon you feel every step of the market, the shopping centre and the walk back to the car.
The Lorelei sits on a cushioned wedge platform, made for long stretches of standing and walking. The lift is gentle: enough to soften each step, low enough to walk in all day.
It's an orthopaedic design: the insole spreads your weight evenly across your foot, which takes the pressure off and helps reduce foot pain. That's how you stay on your feet all day, pain-free.
A strap that stays where you set it
Nothing ruins a day out like a strap that slips or a heel that lifts with every step.
There's one adjustable strap across the top of the foot, so you set the fit yourself, a little looser on a warm afternoon if you like. The back is closed, so your heel stays in the sandal instead of sliding around.
Covered enough, open enough to breathe
Closed shoes in an Australian summer get hot and sticky by mid-afternoon.
The Lorelei is cut with open spaces between the crossed straps and along the sides, so air moves around your foot while it still feels held. Fresh and sweat-free in the morning, still fresh at five o'clock.
No more worrying about your toes on show
So many women tell me they love the idea of sandals but don't love having their toes out.
The Lorelei has a rounded, covered toe made from crossed straps. You get the lightness of a sandal without feeling on display. No fresh pedicure required.
Steady on paving, paths and stairs
A sandal should feel sure-footed, not wobbly, whether you're on a garden path, uneven paving or a flight of stairs.
The wedge gives you a full base under your foot, and the insole is made so your foot doesn't slide around inside. It spreads your weight evenly, giving you stability and support with every step.
Four colours, AU 4 to 12, one price
Blue, Brown, Burgundy and Green, each one a mix of tones, so they go with far more of your wardrobe than a plain sandal would. Flowing dresses, linen-look trousers, cropped jeans.
Every size from AU 4 to AU 12 is the same price.
The Lorelei, against the sandals you've been buying
You can find a summer sandal almost anywhere. Here's the difference, laid out plainly.

I wore them for a full day at the market and my feet were still happy at the end of it. The strap stays put, and I love that my toes are covered.
Megan's words say it better than I can. If your summer sandals are finished by lunchtime, the Lorelei is the pair I'd put in your hands first.
With love,
Julie ♡
