For those of you who have never heard of this website, apparently it’s been around for at least a year, but I only heard of it about 3 months ago. What caught my attention to this site was (and no Kim Kardashian is not it, she founded(?) the site) that the site offers good shoes that look designer and they are only $40 a pair, or for anything on their site, which sometimes does include designer brands under their weekly “dazzle deals”. Their shoe collection is quite good, they have things from running shoes, flats and knee high boots. All for $40, in my opinion I’d go for the boots and such since I know for a fact it’s very difficult to find boots for $40 and under. Flats I find for cheaper so it’s not worth it, and don’t even get me started on my running shoes.
To be clear I am a bargain hunter, not a cheap-ass, I’m fickle when it comes to fashion so I tend to look for the best deal I can get, but hey what fashionista isn’t? (not that I am one, some days I look like a hobo =P)
Anyways, so my package arrived on my doorstep this afternoon and I was quite excited because I have never ordered anything online that I’d hadn't seen in real life. Especially shoes, I was a bit sceptical, when I buy shoes I look for 3 things:
1. comfort
2. style
3. brand
now 2 out of the 3 things were unknown to me, I have no idea if the shoe is going to be comfortable, nor do I know the quality that the brand produces. So why did I take this chance? Because I fell in love with the style, lately I had been eyeing these booties by Christian Louboutin, but of course I can’t afford to spend that much on shoes, it’s like 2 months rent, which I don’t rent but still, its the principles of it all!
aren't they pretty =]
The style that I choose was similar in the sense that it had the marine style to it as well. The plus to the shoes I choose were that they were purple and closed toe, I absolutely love purple and I find peep toe booties aren't the best for fall.
So here they are, they aren’t quite what I expected, I hoped that the buttons would be more gold like on their website http://www.shoedazzle.com/products/junie#177, other than that the quality seems decent so far. I have yet to wear them out and about. I have some concern that the bottom of the shoe has no grip whatsoever, so I might be slipping and sliding all over the place :l Also, just from picking up the shoe the heel feels a bit wobbly. (I said the quality was decent, not superb)
I find they are quite comfortable for 4 inch heels from just walking around the house. Unfortunately they ran out of my size when I ordered them so I had to go for the 1/2 size up, which I must say was probably a blessing in disguise because even though they are a bit big, with socks on its perfect.
For signing up you get 30% off your first pair and free shipping! For those of you who don’t live in the United States, like myself, unfortunately you have to pay for shipping. To Canada it was about $9 for shipping, but I have to say it was shipped within 5 days all the way from Cali, pretty good considering they say 10-12 days. I’m a very impatient person =P
My only complaint against this site is that they charge your credit card every month unless you say to skip it, no wonder why people are going into debt! You only have 5 days at the beginning of each month to skip it. Now every month I have to remember to skip it! They WANT you to buy a pair of shoes or accessory every month. It’s a bit much :l
My last comment is to check their reviews site before purchasing anything http://reviews.shoedazzle.com/0036/allreviews.htm I found it after I got mines :l I was torn between two choices but after reading the reviews I think I made the right choice =]
