From San Francisco to Puerto Vallarta, Newport Beach to Nantucket, women are raving about the comfortability, versatility, and style that Charleston Shoes provides to them during summertime travel, pool parties and outdoor concerts.

Founder of Charleston Shoes, Neely Woodson Powell, makes sensational summer sandals for a worthy cause. She recently captured headlines on ‘National Shoe The World Day’ for her remarkable efforts in promoting the importance of quality footwear, not only for fashion but also as a means of empowerment and support for millions in need worldwide.

Through her dedication and compassion, Neely is donating over 7,000 pairs of shoes to women in developing countries, in partnership with the non-profit organization SOLES4SOULS.

This initiative goes beyond charity; it’s about creating economic opportunities, providing stability, and empowering women to build their own businesses. With each pair of shoes, Neely’s donations generates over $65,000 of economic impact, offering a lifeline to families around the world for a full year, ensuring consistent access to necessities like food, housing, and education.

This shoe company is committed to quality, craftsmanship, and social responsibility. I love the machine washable ‘Gladys’ sandal. It offers a mini 1″ espadrille heel that is perfect of an evening pool party with a sundress or to wear with white pants for an evening boat ride. The double straps and sling-back style stretch on your feet for comfort.

Their best selling shoe is the ‘Peachtree’ sandal. It’s ideal for hot summer nights or a dinner date by the beach. This sassy sandal comes in both an upper and low wedge sole. The crisscross toe straps stretch to accommodate wide feet.

The supportive heel cup helps with stability and the elastic upper provides additional support. They are also bunion friendly and have a padded insole for walking miles in comfort. These shoes are also machine washable.
