Lightweight, breathable, and washable, these shoes meet your every need.
The key feature of HUE’s Liflats is the triple-layer antimicrobial, deodorizing, and non-slip wedged Ortholite insole. HUE understands the female form and the importance of proper body alignment, carefully engineering their insoles with a slight wedge to promote healthier feet. The insole aims to relieve pressure and provide stability, enhancing overall wellness.
Whether navigating the city streets, dashing between appointments, or enjoying a night out, HUE recognizes that our feet endure a lot of strain throughout the day, and they deserve the utmost care. The innovative design of these flats— also includes a durable rubber outer sole and an ergonomic back that securely hugs the heel in place. The Liflat design takes into consideration various aspects of foot health, ensuring that wearers experience enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue.
