‘Most comfortable' shoe brand with cult-following launches supportive walking shoe: She Wear
Struggling to find a pair of shoes that support feet and look great? You're not alone. Thousands of women dread shoe shopping, searching high and low for a pair that ticks all the boxes. That's exactly why one Aussie set out on a mission to change the game, creating her very own shoeware line, She Wear. 'I couldn't find a shoe that supported my feet properly for walking... and I knew other women were having the same problem,' founder Stacey Head tells Best Picks. 'Most walking shoes were either ugly orthopaedics or runners that wore out in three months. I wanted something better.' Home to work shoes, sneakers, boots, slides and sandals, She Wear has become a go-to for shoppers across the country. And now there's a brand new line designed for those on their feet every day; the Pace walking shoe. Different to traditional runners that are build for speed instead of short distance, the Pace walking shoe is a supportive style, designed to support feet during all day wear. Crafted with bio mechanical footbeds, with a firm midfoot support and shock-absorbing soles, they help to support the natural for those exercising, commuting or even working a long day on your feet, these walking shoes go the distant — and look good doing it. Available in three different colour s, choose from a sleek ombre blue and green, bright white and green, or a classic black. She Wear was born after founder Stacey injured herself on a building site, which left her searching for a supportive, fit-for-purpose footwear. After struggling to find a pair, she launched She Wear's first collection of women's safety boots, which gained a loyal following in record speed. Now the brand has endless styles and options for everything life throws at you, whether you're exercising, walking the dog, working or socialising — there's a shoe for every occasion.

Cult favourite KitchenAid blender slashed to $274 in huge Amazon Australia sale
If you've been eyeing off a stylish new blender to elevate your morning smoothie routine, now might be the time to strike. The KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender in Dried Rose (Pink) is currently a massive 45 per cent off on Amazon Australia, bringing the price down from $499 to just $274. That's a rare steal for a cult-favourite kitchen essential from one of the most trusted names in home appliances. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Not only is the colour completely swoon-worthy, but the performance is next level too. It's no surprise the K400 has racked up 93 per cent positive ratings from over one thousand customers and more than five thousand orders in recent months. So, what makes this blender worth the hype? Smoothies, soups, sauces and more: This powerful blender takes food from chunky to smooth in 20 seconds. Credit: Amazon Australia For starters, it's not just pretty in pink. The KitchenAid K400 features a powerful three-part blending system that transforms even the toughest whole foods into velvety smooth perfection in just 20 seconds. Whether you're blitzing kale, almonds or frozen mango, it's built to handle the lot, without that annoying mid-blend stall. The ribbed jar design is cleverly engineered to create a powerful vortex that pulls ingredients directly into the asymmetric stainless steel blade, which cuts at four different angles. Translation: no rogue chunks and a consistently smooth result. But the real magic lies in the Intelli-Speed motor control, which senses what's inside the jug and adjusts accordingly, powering through even tricky textures while maintaining optimal speed. Need to crush ice for frozen margaritas or a smoothie bowl? This blender can demolish a half-tray of ice in under 10 seconds, giving you perfect consistency every time. KitchenAid's cult-favourite blender in Dried Rose is 45 per cent off, but only for a limited time. Credit: Amazon Australia Other smart features include a soft start function (so your ingredients don't explode on the kitchen splashback), three speed settings plus an Ice Crush mode, and two dual-purpose Blend-and-Go personal blender jars, so you can make your drink and take it with you in the same container. If you're someone who likes options, the K400 is also compatible with extra accessories like a 6oz Small Batch Jar Expansion Pack or a 16 oz Personal Blender Jar Expansion Pack, which are sold separately. With its sleek design, serious power, and rave reviews, it's easy to see why this pink powerhouse rarely goes on sale. So if you've been waiting for the right moment to invest, this is it. KitchenAid rarely goes this cheap, and the pink version is already selling fast.
