I tried Liberty’s everyday footwear collection: Here’s my honest review of 3 pairs

Finding footwear that actually checks all the boxes is harder than it looks. A pair can be stylish but painful after an hour, comfortable but too basic, or trendy but not practical enough for everyday wear.

So when I tried these three pairs from Liberty, I was looking for one thing: can they actually survive real everyday plans? Think long walks, running errands, casual outings, and those days when your footwear needs to keep up without making your feet regret your choices.

From a neutral everyday slipper to a walking shoe that might just convert even the biggest lace-haters (me included), here’s my detailed review of each pair.

Colour: Navy Blue

Upper: Premium Nubuck | Sole: PU | Closure: Buckle

First impressions? This pair instantly stood out because of how wearable the colour is.

The navy blue shade is subtle, sophisticated, and honestly one of those colours that quietly goes with almost everything. Whether you are wearing jeans, cotton dresses, kurtas, or relaxed summer outfits, this slipper blends in without looking boring.

The premium nubuck upper gives it a slightly elevated finish compared to regular casual slippers, making it feel more polished for everyday wear. The solid design keeps it minimal, which is perfect if your wardrobe leans towards timeless basics.

Comfort-wise, this one scores really well. The cushioned insole makes walking around feel easy, and the mid-heel gives a slight lift without making it uncomfortable. The PU sole also adds to the lightweight feel, so it does not feel heavy even after wearing it for longer hours.

The buckle closure helps adjust the fit, ensuring the slipper stays secure while walking. One detail I liked is that it doesn’t feel like a “just at home” slipper, it can easily work for stepping out.

The anti-fungal feature is also a practical addition, especially for everyday footwear that gets regular wear.

My verdict:

A great everyday pair if you want comfort with a slightly premium feel. The colour is safe, versatile, and honestly a wardrobe workhorse.

Best for: Office errands, casual outings, daily wear, travel days.

Colour: Cherry

Upper: Softy Material | Sole: PU | Closure: Elastic

This pair is designed more for comfort-first dressing.

The cherry shade caught my attention because I expected a brighter pop of colour. In reality, it leans more towards a muted, earthy tone, almost closer to brown than a vibrant cherry. Personally, I would have loved a slightly richer, more playful colour payoff.

That said, the design itself is extremely practical.

The punched upper adds a little texture and detail, making it more interesting than a plain sandal. The elastic closure makes it easy to slip on and off, while the back strap gives extra support, something I appreciate because some slip-ons tend to move around while walking.

The comfort factor is definitely the highlight. The soft upper feels gentle on the feet, and the cushioned sole makes it suitable for long casual days.

This is the kind of footwear you reach for when style takes a backseat and you just want something reliable, easy, and comfortable.

My verdict:

Not the boldest colour choice, but if you prefer utility, comfort, and easy everyday wear, this one delivers.

Best for: Grocery runs, travel, casual walks, everyday wear.

Colour: Peach

Upper: Flyknit | Sole: EVA | Insole: Ortholite

Okay, saving my favourite for last.

The colour alone had me. The peach shade is soft, feminine, and instantly makes the sneaker look more stylish than a typical walking shoe. As someone who loves pink tones, this was definitely the pair I gravitated towards. It is not just pretty; it is genuinely comfortable.

The Flyknit upper makes the shoe feel lightweight and breathable, while the Ortholite insole adds that extra cushioning that you really notice during long hours of walking.

The slightly elevated sole gives it a modern sneaker look without making it feel bulky or heavy. It feels supportive but still easy to move around in.

Now, the feature that completely won me over: the twist-lock system.

As someone who has avoided shoes because of annoying laces (yes, laces have genuinely been my villain), this design feels genius. Instead of tying and adjusting laces manually, you simply pull the knob to loosen it, slip your foot in, and twist it to tighten.

It is quick, secure, and honestly makes wearing sneakers feel effortless.

Plus, it gives the shoe a cleaner, more futuristic look: no messy laces, no constant adjusting.

My verdict:

This is the pair I would recommend the most. It combines comfort, technology, and style in a way that feels genuinely useful.

Best for: Walking, travel, daily commuting, casual sporty looks.
