Who is Sunnystep?

Sunnystep is a science-led footwear company that brings joy to people on the move. We combine science, sustainability, and style to minimize stress on your body to support your every move, from heel to toe.

What is Sunnystep Founder's story？

Sunnystep's story began after a major spine injury changed the way Ting walk, sit, and stand forever. She could not find any footwear brands that provided the pain relief and functional support her body desperately needed. She believes that the right shoes can be life-changing and transform your posture, your possibilities, and your path forward. So she created Sunnystep to help people move well so they can live well. And bring a little more joy to your everyday.

Product

How are Sunnystep shoes different from other shoes out there?

What sets Sunnystep apart is our commitment to innovation through science, sustainability, and style.

The science of the sole
Every detail is designed using cutting-edge technology and leading scientific research to minimize stress on your body and support your movement, from heel to toe. We nerd out over anatomical data points such as aerodynamics, muscle mechanics, pressure points, and mobility. Because we know that when your feet are properly supported in all the right places, you move better and feel happier.

Planet-loving materials
We might walk all over the earth, but we certainly don't own the place. That's why we're deeply committed to reducing our environmental footprint across our supply chain. Every decision is chosen with care—from using materials like algae from polluted waters and repurposed coffee grinds to partnering with certified responsible factories. Walk with pride, knowing that your purchase is a planet-loving one.

Step in style
Even though we prioritize keeping you supremely comfortable and blister-free, style matters a lot too. Sunnystep shoes look as good as they feel.

Our impeccably crafted shoes are modern, simple, and iconic so they're perfect for work, chill, or play.

Pairs perfectly with any outfit, any day, any mood, and any occasion. Wear them everywhere, and elevate your fit.

Are Sunnystep shoes vegan?

Sunnystep shoes are vegan, and our footwear does not contain any animal products.

The majority of our uppers are made from Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified bio-based PU Leather. For our Dream Sneakers series, 10% of our uppers are made of recycled coffee grinds.

Are Sunnystep shoes suitable for pregnant women?

Sunnystep shoes provide the much needed relief to the mums-to-be with its stable arch support and extremely comfortable design, providing the much needed relief from the stress exerted from pregnancy weight. It is strongly recommended for pregnant ladies to choose shoes that give support with stability in the spine and balance in pelvic floor. Please choose shoes that fit your feet well and make sure there is a finger space from the front of the shoes and your big toe.

Are Sunnystep shoes suitable for people with foot problems such as flat feet or bunions?

Yes. For people with arch issues, it is very important to wear shoes with a good arch support so that the flat feet do not collapse further. Sunnystep arch support is made of PU and it does not sink over time. The insoles also come with acupressure massage points to alleviate muscle strain. There is extra gel cushioning at the heel and the ball of foot to provide more stability and comfort.

For people with bunions, the premium microfiber material we use for the uppers is soft, and skin-friendly. The wider front of the shoes also provided much needed relief for the toes.

Can you jog in Balance Runner?

Yes you can do low intensity exercises including light jogging in Balance Runner by tightening the laces to provide more support. We do not recommend wearing Sunnystep shoes for professional and extreme sports as these sports require professional equipment and shoes.

Are the shoes slippery?

Sunnystep shoes are slip-resistant. We would advise for you to be careful when walking on wet and / or oily surfaces.

Will the shoes expand?

Sunnystep shoes maintain their shapes very well overtime. The premium microfibre we used for the uppers is both durable and easy to maintain. Please take note that the limited suede texture collection will expand slightly more than the vegan leather collection.

How do I clean the shoes?

Brush off any dirt or stains on the uppers using a damp cloth, wet wipes or a soft brush. Clean the insoles with wet wipes and leave them to air-dry.

Size & Fit

Where can I find your size charts?

You can access the size chart for each product on the respective product's detail page by clicking on "Size Chart" located on the right side of the Size options.

How can I choose the correct size?

Measure your foot by
1. Placing your foot on a flat surface
2. Measure the longest distance between your toes and your heel with a ruler or measuring tape
3. If one of your feet is bigger than the other, follow the measurement of the larger foot when selecting a size
4. We recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes
