To be fair, one pair of their shoes I got was actually pretty decent material wise. But I got them discounted. I still wouldn't pay $99+ for them.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Citygirldc</b>, I actually concur with you and do the same with non leather sandals. Though, last year I purchased a pair of leather Sofft sandals and I have just loved them. They were really worth it. Now, having said that, I had a pair of non leather booties from Walmart. They were $1 clearance and I cannot get over how well they wore inside and out!!! Super comfortable too. I got 2-3 seasons out them. I only tossed them because of some environmental contamination issues. (Long story for another time.)&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Lisa</b>, you're welcome! You may try them and feel differently. The quality was still pretty good. I just have a hard time spending that much money on non leather shoes .</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Ophelia</b>, I loved the look of the heeled boots too. However, once I tried them on, I kind of felt like I was doing Victorian cosplay. They just felt a little costumey on me. (Could just be my sense of style and such.) And they definitely are a higher heel! I found them more difficult to wear when I tried them. My days of 3.5" heel are likely over ha! Size -- yes noticed this too. The little peep toe wedges were a good size too long/large, so I would definitely size down next time. Overall, I think the quality is good. I just don't know if I feel like paying quite so much for non leather. I may try them again as I find them on sale/discount.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367554 Fri, 09 Aug 2024 20:51:07 +0000 ophelia 2367554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of those boots &amp; had them in my Amazon cart forever. What finally deterred me was the height of the heel. Those are harder for me to wear now for some reason.<br /> I’ve ordered Journee online before &amp; found they ran a half to whole size large. It’s great that they offer so many wide sizes which I also need. I don’t wear leather &amp; they have a large variety of styles in synthetic materials.<br /> Some stores carry them &amp; run better sales than what I’ve seen on Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367529 Fri, 09 Aug 2024 15:13:09 +0000 Lisa 2367529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not heard about this brand before, thanks for the insights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367521 Fri, 09 Aug 2024 14:03:58 +0000 citygirldc 2367521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm try to stay away from non-leather closed-toe shoes, but sandals a are a different story because I know I'll only wear them for one or 2 seasons.</p> <p>I can't justify buying high end non-leather shoes, but that's just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367462 Thu, 08 Aug 2024 12:25:26 +0000 RobinF 2367462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, that sounds like a high price for non-leather. These have not been on my radar. Thanks for the info.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367398 Wed, 07 Aug 2024 17:07:08 +0000 Ket 2367398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Their styles are great, <b>Angie</b>!! So many cute ones to try. I was so disappointed that nothing worked. That said, I'm open to trying other styles in the future <i>if</i> the materials don't look and feel cheap.<div><br /></div><div>Non leather doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I'm sure buying all leather all the time is more of a budget commitment. But at least your shoes will really, really last! :D&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367393 Wed, 07 Aug 2024 16:49:47 +0000 Angie 2367393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can be attracted to Journee footwear too, <b>Ket</b>.&nbsp;Their styles are great! </p> <p>Personally, I can't wear non-leather footwear. Not even canvas. It messes up my feet. So I've never tried the brand.</p> <p>Thanks for the info, though!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journee-brand-shoes-not-worth-the-hype#post-2367391 Wed, 07 Aug 2024 16:28:59 +0000 Ket 2367391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently tried Journee brand shoes. I found 3 pairs for a good price. The endorsements seemed high.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Pros: <br />- a lot of styles are offered in wide widths. (By this, I mean, the actual sole of the shoe is wider, not the calf.)&nbsp;<br />- a huge style variety in general, from flats, to heels, to booties, to sneakers, to thigh-high boots<br />- easy-care synthetic materials<br />- great, sturdy construction quality</p> <p>Cons<br />- expensive for non-leather shoes; many of their shoes are going for $80-100+&nbsp;<i>for non leather synthetics.&nbsp;</i><br />- some of the synthetics felt rather cheap to me, especially the knee-high boots I tried<br />- a lot of styles seem to sell out quickly</p> <p>Advice: Buy on sale. I didn't pay full price (thank you, Amazon), and after my experience I wouldn't pay full price in the future. The construction quality is really good, but the materials felt a bit cheap, even for non leather. My $1 clearance booties from Walmart were far nicer feeling and looking compared to these--sorry to say. </p> <p>As for the specific styles I tried. <br />The stacked heel booties are good and the best of the lot; however, I realize now I no longer love higher heels, and these are 3-3.5" heels. The color though! It's outside my normal choices, but the warm blue is beautiful.&nbsp;</p> <p>The wedge heels are super cute but I need to size down. Not sure if I like the style enough for myself to bother. I thought I loved little 20s/30s style heels. But idk, they suddenly felt like a style I've outgrown. It was more a reminiscing than excitement in the end.&nbsp;</p> <p>The knee-high boots are a great disappointment. The synthetic leather &nbsp;used just felt cheap, sorry to say. I was most excited about them. Bummer they didn't live up to expectations.</p> <p>They're all going back to Amazon.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyone else try them? &nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p>
