THINX co-founder Antonia Saint Dunbar's shoe brand Antonia Saint NY just annouced the Vida Collection – five new high heel styles that combine comfort with style using hidden sneaker technology in a 90mm heel.

After getting $2.1 million in pre-sales from Kickstarter and spending years on testing, Antonia Saint NY has made high heels comfortable with their patented Slim SoftSurround System technology.

The secret sauce is the soft cushioning the brand puts all around your foot – just like your favorite sneakers. Its new technology adds extra support where you need it most and uses flexible foam in both the insole and outsole, so you can walk naturally even in high heels.

The Vida Collection fits everyone, with sizes from 4-13 and four widths: narrow, standard, wide, and wider. Each shoe has extra space for your toes and special heel cushioning for better balance and comfort all day.

The Fab Five lineup includes:

  • The Sweetheart ($245)
  • The Classic ($245)
  • The Half D'Orsay ($255)
  • The D'Orsay Lasso ($275)
  • The T-Strap ($275)

Each pair is made by hand in Spain, giving you luxury quality for less than other high-end brands.

"I've seen beautiful shoe designs for years, but none worked for daily life," Saint Dunbar tells Apart Style. "Women should feel strong, feminine, and confident—without choosing between comfort and style."

The Vida Collection comes out mid-February at antoniasaintny.com, with different colors and textures for each style.
