Another Late Post: July 2013 Mini Shoe Haul

I honestly can’t get enough of Off Broadway Shoes. They just have great shoes and the great prices keep me coming back for more. Here are the shoes I bought from Off Broadway Shoes in July (sorry for the late post. I’ve been busy.).

Lifestride Brayden

I needed a pair of comfortable shoes that were easy to slip on and off and had a low heel. I like flats with a heel (not because I need to be taller but the fact that flats without heels have a tendency to make me feel like I’m going backwards). I got these shoes for work and they help me stand 8-12 hours a day without feeling hurt, pinched, etc. It has a rubber sole that absorbs shock very well and is accompanied with a 1.5″ chunky heel. The insole reminds me of a Dr. Scholl’s insole and the memory foam cushions your feet. I have two issues however. I wish the insole materials wicked away moisture a lot better. My feet stay dry throughout the day but they just don’t seem to with the Braydens. I’ve tried wearing socks, powders, etc., but they still cause me to feel more or less icky. The second thing I noticed about this shoe is that the toe box is so large that it covers the metatarsal bones. That area soon began to feel sore as that portion of the shoe limited how I could and could not move my foot. Overall, I like these shoes because they work wonders for anyone who works in retail but it’s best to have other pairs of shoes to rotate in case they do become uncomfortable (you should be rotating your shoes regardless for so many reasons).

Sorry they look a bit worn. I didn't get the chance to take photos of them earlier.

I wanted some sandals that wouldn’t make the “smacking” sound that most thong sandals did. I admit that these are not the trendiest things I’ve ever seen but they sure are comfy and I can run in them without having to worry that they’ll come off. I love nude sandals because any embellishments look like they’re just floating on top of your foot.

I love these shoes. When I saw them, I knew I just had to have them. They are so beautiful in person and the photos really do them no justice whatsoever. I’m not a big fan of open-toe heels but these looked really nice on my feet, kind of like a nice set of demure lingerie. It has a gold outsole and the underside of the vamp is decorated in gold glitter. Swarovski elements are on the straps of these satin shoes. I wanted a low-heel sandal that could double up as an evening/special occasion shoe. These shoes are very “Old Hollywood Glamour” in my opinion and that is why I got them. With a 2″ kitten heel, these sandals are surprisingly well-fitted and secure.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I’ll be posting another article on the Michael Kors pumps I just got three days ago (I’m so in love with them!).
