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.)

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!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃 If you’r Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change. 💇‍♀️ @leeoc_hair at @thecellarsalon is the only person I would trust when chopping off this much! (I think it was around 10”!) If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is knowledgeable, talented, and the absolute sweetest, give her a call! ❤️

This bob is going to take some getting used to after my messy mane of long hair, but I already feel sooooo much lighter ✨

What do you think of the new look? 🙃👩🏻‍🦰

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
