Sunnystep was founded in 2019 with a clear mission: to empower people to move freely and happily, starting with the most comfortable and stylish walking shoes. For our founder, Ting, this journey was deeply personal. After a traumatic postpartum spine injury changed the way she walked, stood, and sat, she endured years of excruciating pain—an experience that reshaped her perspective on life. It taught her the profound importance of a healthy body, the foundation for pursuing our passions and cherishing those we love.
Unable to find shoes that met her need for both comfort and style, Ting decided to create her own. She turned her pain into purpose, immersing herself in the science of foot health and design. Her goal was clear: to craft shoes that spread the joy of movement.
At Sunnystep, we believe in the life-changing magic of a truly great pair of shoes. And we believe in the beauty of a healthy, mobile body—a gift that allows us to thrive, shine, and embrace every step of the journey ahead.
At Sunnystep, every prototype begins with empathetic, design-led thinking. We're passionate about reimagining every detail of a shoe—stitches, materials, and beyond—to deliver exceptional performance and comfort. By partnering with leading material chemists, orthopedic specialists, and global industry experts, and listening closely to feedback from our vibrant community, we continuously refine our designs to create shoes that truly make a difference.
Our proprietary insole technology provides stable arch support that stays resilient over time, unlike traditional memory foam. We’ve also pioneered acupressure massage points on our insoles to gently relieve muscle tension throughout the day. With velvet padding for a smooth, blister-free experience from day one, our shoes are designed for durability, lightweight comfort, and long-lasting support.
We hear every concern about foot comfort and embrace every request from our community of over 2,000 5-star reviewers. Together, we’re redefining what it means to move freely and happily.
