In Australia, summer is about movement. We are on our feet more, heading to brunch with friends, running errands, travelling, walking through markets and staying out a little longer as the days stretch on. Comfortable shoes are not a luxury; they are part of how we live.
So when the team at Bay Lane sat down to ask, how can we increase comfort for women who spend long hours on their feet? the answer became a project that would reshape the way we think about everyday footwear.
The Australian lifestyle in mind
With three generations of footwear experience, the Bay Lane design team understands how women live, work and move. Whether it is a day in the city, hours on your feet at work or weekends full of family activities, comfort needs to come first.
Many women experience issues like pinching toe boxes, fallen arches or the dull ache that comes with plantar fasciitis. The goal was to create a range that would help support those challenges, shoes that look as good as they feel and are designed for everyday wear and long-lasting support.
Built-in arch support – helps maintain natural alignment and reduces strain
Every step starts with the right foundation. The built-in arch support in Bay Lane’s Luxe Support footbed helps maintain the natural alignment of the foot. By gently supporting the arch, it reduces strain through the legs and lower back. For women who stand or walk for extended periods, this structure makes a noticeable difference, easing the tension that can build up during long days.
Pressure-relieving metatarsal padding – reduces pressure underfoot for lasting comfort
The metatarsal pad has been shaped to relieve pressure from the ball of the foot, one of the first areas to ache after hours of standing or walking. This feature provides soft cushioning right where it is needed most, helping to prevent the burning sensation that can come from hard surfaces or unsupportive soles. The result is a sandal or shoe that keeps you comfortable even through the busiest days.
Ultra-soft latex cushioning – absorbs impact and keeps feet feeling fresh
The ultra-soft latex cushioning gives each Luxe Support style its signature comfort. With a gentle rebound effect that absorbs impact, it helps keep feet feeling fresh even after a full day of wear. The cushioning adapts to your step, providing that soft landing every time you move. Whether it is the morning school drop-off, a day of travel or an evening out, your feet stay supported and at ease.
Lightweight, flexible soles – move naturally with your foot for easy walking
Comfort also comes from freedom of movement. The lightweight, flexible sole of the Luxe Support range moves naturally with the foot, creating a smooth step that feels effortless. The flexibility allows the shoe to respond to your movement rather than restrict it, making these styles ideal for travel, sightseeing or simply walking through your day with ease.
Crafted for comfort and style
While every detail has been designed for comfort, the collection is also undeniably stylish. Ziggy in natural raffia fits effortlessly into neutral summer wardrobes, while Zeus in Cheetah adds a statement with animal-inspired finishes. Dune in black introduces a low block heel that feels right for work, and Damsel in gold brings soft metallics into evening wear. Each design reflects how real women dress, smart, relaxed and ready for anything.
Everyday comfort, made to last
The Luxe Support range was created for Australian life in motion. It is for the woman who walks the beach before breakfast, spends her day on her feet and still has plans at sunset. Every feature was designed to reduce fatigue, improve balance and make walking more enjoyable. Comfort is no longer something you think about, it simply becomes part of your day.
The edit
Comfort is the quiet foundation of confidence. The Luxe Support range brings that belief to life through thoughtful design, practical technology and timeless Australian style.
Work, walk and play in Bay Lane for all-day comfort.
