HUE, the esteemed NYC-based brand known for its legwear and apparel, is making waves with its foray into footwear, unveiling the HUE "Liflats" line. These chic flats, the
Sofia,

Greta, are not your average ballet flats; they're engineered with arch support for better foot health. Scheduled for an April 2024 release, this collection marks a significant expansion for the brand.
Established in 1978, HUE began with dyed Chinese slippers that captured attention in Vogue and adorned the shelves of Henri Bendel's flagship store. With decades of experience, HUE is circling back to its origins, offering customers an elevated footwear experience. The Liflats boast trendy seasonal colors, a proprietary knitted design in a stretchable flyknit technology, and a removable wedged insole designed for comfort and support.
Lightweight, breathable, and washable, these shoes meet your every need.
The standout characteristic of HUE's Liflats lies in their triple-layered Ortholite insole, which boasts antimicrobial, deodorizing, and non-slip properties. Engineered with a slight wedge, these flats promote healthy foot alignment, relieving pressure and enhancing stability. From bustling city streets to evening soirées, Liflats cater to active lifestyles, prioritizing foot wellness without compromising style.
HUE's attention to detail extends to their shoe-ins—antimicrobial, washable covers that slip over the insole, offering a sock-free option without sacrificing hygiene. Priced from $119.00 to $139.00, HUE Liflats promise unparalleled comfort and style, aligning with the brand's ethos of empowering modern women.
This expansion underscores HUE's dedication to crafting fashion-forward, functional products. By melding expertise in legwear with a focus on foot health, HUE delivers a collection that seamlessly blends fashion, comfort, and wellness. With a diverse range of colors and sizes, Liflats cater to a broad spectrum of preferences.
