Love / hate relationship: Spare Soles Review



Women have a love hate relationship for heels. We love the look and the attention they draw. However, we hate how they make our feet hurt after a few minutes. Let alone at the end of the evening. Andrea Padilla, is the designer of Spare Soles. She knew there had to be a solution all the pain and discomfort and the idea for Spare Soles came about.


Spare Soles provides a solution to the modern woman that wants to wear heels yet she suffers from doing so. They come in many different designs and they are lightweight. You can use the little Spare Soles purse holder to hold your keys, money or identification or you can put the bag into a larger purse.


I loved how they practically took up little room whatsoever! However, the downside to Spare Soles would be the actual sole of the shoe. It provides little to no comfort and it is very thin. I'm sure after an evening of dancing a pair of Spare Soles would feel a heck of a lot better than a pair of 5 inch heels! I also realized they have a pair called the Metro Flat which has a thicker sole. I'll have to give this a try!


The Zebra Print design can be purchased on Spare Soles website for $25.00. They come in sizes small through xl or sizes 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12.

The weathers warming up and summer will be here any day. Recently, I had
the opportunity to review a pair of J*Flops. I probably have over 50 pairs of flip flops in my collection and I have to admit my new pair's my favorite! J*Flops are so pretty and they have a girly appeal.

J*Flops are made from 100% rubber and are made in Brazil. They are handmade to order and come in a variety of colors and sizes. They have three main lines; Everyday Wear, Bridal/Special Occasion and the Mini J*Flops (for the kids).

This will be their sixth year in business and all of the styles they originated
were designed by themselves. J*Flops can be shipped all over the world and they have a wide clientele base.


I reviewed the Camilla which was new for 2010. It is super elegant and pretty. It has satin straps and a simple rhinestone flower at the toe. It retails for
$45.00 which is a little price for a flip flop. However, you need to remember these are made to order. It's available in white and ivory and comes in sizes 5/6, 7, 8/9 and 10/11. This is a super comfy flip flop and I can't wait to show it off once it gets warmer outside!
