Walking On Air With Dr. Liza Shoes

Posted on August 10, 2020December 14, 2022 by Maddie

Since middle school, I have been absolutely obsessed with high heels. T-straps, sling-backs, stilettos, espadrilles – if it was taller than 1”, I wanted to wear it.  A broken toe and two knee surgeries later, however, I thought my heel-wearing days were behind me. Then I found dr. Liza shoes.

EDITOR’S NOTE: While I personally had a great experience and love my shoes (which is why I wrote this post & have an affiliate link), I have heard that returning the shoes can be difficult and may result in unexpected costs. Please contact the company before purchasing if you have any questions or concerns. This review is based on my own experience, and – while I hope that you love your Dr. Liza shoes – I recognize that some readers are having challenging interactions with Dr. Liza’s customer service.


With the slow reopening of businesses last month came the realization that I needed some new shoes if I would be leaving my slipper-haven home. As I was scrolling through Instagram one day, I saw a glowing review of the dr. Liza brand, promising high heels that were genuinely as comfortable as sneakers. I was skeptical, but I took the leap and made a purchase. Once the shoes arrived, I was so impressed that I purchased another pair that same day!

Dr. Liza shoes are:

  • Stylish
  • Comfy
  • High-quality
  • Gorgeous
  • From a local, female-owned, Black-owned business
  • Designed by a foot & posture specialist
  • Great for narrow feet, wide feet, bunions, arch issues, & more!


About Dr. Liza

Dr. Liza Egbogah is a highly regarded Toronto chiropractor and osteopath. She has her own clinic downtown, and for over a decade has been the go-to specialist for athletes, celebrities, and anyone suffering from posture problems or chronic pain. Clients and media outlets would constantly ask Dr. Liza for her recommendations on shoes that would keep feet healthy without sacrificing on style, and so Dr. Liza decided to design the perfect shoe herself.  

And if my experience is anything to go by, she damn well succeeded.

The Heels

I purchased the dr. Liza pump in Sky Blue ($275) and added a Navy ankle strap ($25) for some contrast.

I absolutely adore these shoes. I took them out of the box, immediately put them on, and didn’t take them off until bed. No breaking-in time, no pain, no chafing, no baby-giraffe-learning-to-walk gait. Just sexy shoes that felt unbelievably comfortable – and this is coming from someone with past ACL & meniscus damage! I can walk around (or stand in line) for hours and not feel any discomfort.

The secret? Thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. The shoes have an orthotic insole, a shock-absorbing platform, a rocker sole, and a non-skid rubber outsole. They’re made with gorgeous Brazilian leather that forms to your feet. And the description of each shoe gives real insight into whether or not they’ll be a good fit for your foot, so you don’t have to worry about what size would be right for you.

I love that the straps can be easily switched out or removed, too. Quality and ethical manufacturing come at a price – one I’m happy to pay – but it means that I try to have fewer items in my closet. Being able to change up the strap makes my dr. Liza shoes incredibly versatile, so I can wear them more often and with different looks. (I’m already finding any excuse to bust them out!)

The Flats

Since my casual look typically consists of jeans and a solid coloured t-shirt, I thought I’d go for a bold print with the flat shoe. I settled on the dr. Liza flat in Ankara Blue ($175), and love it just as much as the pump!

I have sensitive toes, so flats have historically been tough for me. There’s so much wiggle room in the toe box of the dr. Liza flats, however, that I don’t feel any pressure or discomfort. I can really feel the arch support in this shoe as well, and my heel doesn’t feel pinched in the slightest. Much like the pumps, I can wear these for extended periods of time without redness, irritation, or fatigue.

From arch to instep and heel to toe, dr. Liza shoes are designed with expertise, crafted with care, and an absolute joy to wear. (Plus they’re hella cute.)

Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️ I truly love the Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
