Think!, based in Saudwald, Upper Austria, is the walking-shoe company with a fierce attitude. “Walk Different”, they command on their website. Think! shoes are only for those who wish to “swim against the stream of anonymous fashion.” You may need “courage” to wear them.

I interpret this as “Our shoes may not be conventionally pretty, but boy are they comfortable.” And I believe them. Their shoes do look a bit “different”, I grant you. Think! even acknowledges that, aesthetics-wise, you either love Think! shoes or you don’t. A bold and honest statement from the shoe manufacturer.

But what the shoe may lack in looks, it definitely makes up for in fit and comfort. Think! uses traditional and time-tested shoe-making techniques to ensure the best possible fit. The shoes are made from all-natural materials, including vegetable-tanned leathers, which allow your feet to breathe, absorb moisture, and are toxin-free. Think! even backs their shoes with a limited 6-month warranty.

And you know what? I actually like how they look. To be sure, there’s no disguising the fact that they are walking shoes. But isn’t the 60s pop vibe of the Think! Julia Sandal kind of fun? And the metallic discs on the Think! Tamtam Sandal are adorable: I’m picturing wearing these shoes with black capris and a big smile on my face (because I look chic and my feet aren’t killing me). I also think the rather elaborate buckle on the Think! Soso Sandal is a hoot – that is a truly fabulous and fresh detail for a comfort shoe.

Every shoe wardrobe needs one or two pairs of comfort shoes, and Think! provides some of the best looks available. Click over today to shop the whole line of Think! Shoes.
