Daily Coronavirus Check-in: ‘I quit my corporate role on mat leave to start my own shoe business’

Like a lot of people, I’ve spent the past three months wearing nothing but uggs and trainers, so the idea of putting heels back on is just painful – in so many ways. I have a couple of pairs of flats that I wear but I really struggle to find shoes that are comfortable and don’t rub at the back. The struggle is real people. Then I came across an amazing Melbourne based mum, Katrina Verso, who the same issue and decided to do something about it. When she was on mat leave with her first child she quit her job, took the leap of faith and started her own shoe business, determined to make the perfect, comfortable flat!
