Our Founder

Dr. Steffie Tomson is a neuroscientist-turned-entrepreneur on a mission to help women move through the world with confidence, clarity, and ease. With a deep understanding of how the brain and body work together, she left the lab to solve a problem most people overlook—footwear that holds women back instead of propelling them forward.

Blending science with style, she founded STEFFIE’S, a radically innovative shoe brand designed for women who have places to go and goals to achieve. Her neuroscience-driven approach isn’t just about comfort—it’s about unlocking mental clarity through better movement. Because when your body feels good, your mind is free to focus on what truly matters.

Dr. Steffie believes that every woman deserves to move through life unburdened—by expectations, by discomfort, and by outdated ideas of what’s possible. And it all starts from the ground up.

"Women have been told to sacrifice comfort for style for too long—I knew there had to be a better way. As a neuroscientist, I understand how movement affects the brain, and as an entrepreneur, I refuse to accept ‘good enough.’ I started STEFFIE’S to give women shoes that don’t just look beautiful but actually help them move, think, and feel better. And we’re just getting started."
