As even the most committed high-heel wearers will know, there’s nothing better than a comfortable shoe. After all, no one wants to be bothered by blisters on the daily commute. But finding footwear that offers both style and function isn't always easy, especially if you’re after a trainer alternative.

The good news is, German shoemaker remonte has teamed up with ELLE to create a capsule collection that serves up a range of styles with comfort-boosting features included.

remonte is renowned for creating durable shoes from quality materials. Combining almost 150 years of craftsmanship with its innovative ultra-light, soft and breathable technology, the brand’s partnership with ELLE has resulted in a nine-piece collection that includes a mix of wear-everywhere sneakers and sandals. Made with a robust leather that adapts to the shape of the foot, these are the kind of shoes you can rely on, whether you’re traipsing the city streets or out on a weekend trip to the park.

There are three sneakers to choose from; an ultra soft black leather style with a contrasting gold zipper, a classic all-white pair and a metallic rose gold design with a chunkier sole for a sportier look. Clever design details like an extra soft, removable insert and a lightweight inner lining will keep feet happy whatever the season, but if you’re hopeful for sunshine this spring, there’s an equally foot-friendly line-up of open-toe sandals.

In a nod to spring/summer’s wedge sandal trend, there are a multitude of low-wedge styles in the collection. The muted green, beige and chocolate brown leather designs are made with cushioned soles and handy adjustable fasteners, offering maximum support for the entire foot. Strappy styles in emerald green and red leather offer pops of vibrant colour, while a neutral pair of mules made with a light and flexible sole will go with just about anything. Wherever you're walking, get ready to put your best foot forward this spring.
