The bad news: I realized that I probably needed to up my budget in order to find shoes that I would be happy with. But with any luck I hoped to find shoes that I could wear again on a regular basis...aka to work.
The good news: This was the last order of shoes to be delivered to my home in the quest of the golden shoe.
This time I hit up Shoebuy.com. All in all I was very pleased with my order. And free shipping both ways with a 20% off coupon doesn’t hurt either!
Here are the goods:
This pair is insanely comfortable! My feet love wearing these shoes and I easily could wear them to work. The extra bonus is that since the wedding is outdoors, a wedge heel is a much safer bet than a skinny little heel. But I am a little concerned that they might not be dressy enough. I mean, it is quite a far stretch from what the bride originally recommended.
This pair was also up there on the comfy-ness scale. But not quite as good as the first. I did like the sweetness that the bow added to the shoe. Although I am not sure they are quite work appropriate.
This pair barely made it out of the gate. Same issue as the pair from Overstock, the strap across the front was too big. Next...
This pair was super cute. I love the bit of attitude the "snake skin" detail on the strap brings. However, there was no chance of wearing this pair to work.
And finally:
This pair struck out before even being tried on. What the picture does not show well is that the leather (real? faux?) is distressed. So the gold finish has a crackled look. No Thanks.
So which pair did I decide on? Which pair will I be wearing to my brother's wedding?
Drum roll please....
Surprised? Agree? Disagree? Find any pairs like the one I originally wanted around the $40 mark? Please share!
