Ask Angie: Blowfish Hold True booties

Maya

Angie, are these potentially 8 hour shoes for you? Wondering if I just need to get used to 2" heels. I really like the look of these much more than the Cleeos but I'm just not sure if I can manage them or if I just need practice..

Not Angie, but I love these, Maya. I tried on a similar bootie at DSW and they did seem quite comfy and stable. Curious to see what Angie says.

I placed an exchange for them trough Zappos so I can compare them. The Cleeos are comfy but I can't help but feel like an elf in them. They aren't really my style either. Very classic and pretty. But comfort is such a huge issue.

I always think 2" heels feel good but they usually end up hurting the balls of my feet within about 2 hours of walking. I don't feel unstable and I'm able to walk at my regular pace (in fact the other day I ran to catch my train and had no problems). It's just the pressure that is the issue. I can't tell if it's something that I will get used to or not. I have an insole in the ones I already wear, and it helped delay the discomfort but didn't stop it completely.

I don't wear heels often so maybe I just need to ease into it. I'm not sure.

I was debating the Cleeos vs the MIA Sawyer. They are totally different boots but the Sawyer seem more my style even if they are a bit cowboy. Keep us posted, will you?

Maya, do these grab you at all? They are not wedges, but the heel height is nice, and the detailing at the back is kind of cute, and they are synthetic. They may be too rugged for your taste, but I stumbled across them when I was cruising endless.com:

I dont know about those, but the Blowfish Wheatons that I bought (in sand) can be worn for several hours sraight....so maybe Blowfish is a comfy brand?

Maya, I have a 20% off code for Blowfish (directly through their website) if you want. I think it expires on 9/25 and they have free shipping right now.
