Nine West: Ebbytide

Color: Bronze
Original Price: 98.85
Purchase Price: $33.84
Details:  Leather upper, Leather sole
Height: 4 1/4" heel 1/2" platform

"Step out in high style with the Ebbytide sandal from Nine West. The striking shoe has a soft leather upper with sophisticated twisting straps, an elastic slingback strap for a comfortable fit, and a super-tall heel to glam up your gams in an instant."

I will admit that I was a tad bit unsure about these shoes, but I'm glad I purchased them! I don't care much for platform heels because I don't have a desire to be THAT much taller lol (I like my height..5'5)..I guess I'm contradicting myself..saying I like my height yet I mainly own heels..hmm.....I'll justify..and say that heels make my feet look smaller, which I appreciate as I wear a size 9 1/2 in shoes...LOL ANYWAY. Despite me gaining several inches in height when I put the shoe on..I love them. They're actually very comfortable..which wasn't expected. Would I pay $98.00 for them?...Hell no I'm cheap...uh....I like to...shop smart..lol..Luckily for me...I found them on sale..lol

Color: Gunmetal Celeste/Pearls (Silver/gold)
Original Price: $89.95
Purchase Price: $19.95
Details:  Metallic Fabric upper Leather sole
Height: 3 1/2" heel
 "Step out in the dazzling Kadeen peep toe pump from J.Renee and you will see heads turn. Its super lustrous fabric upper shines in the light with its glimmering metallic sheen while the knotted detail on the vamp intertwines its glistening beads and baubles. The padded insole will keep you comfy while the tall heel adds that leg-lengthening sex appeal."

I really like these shoes BUT...Yes, there's a but. Padded insole?? It has one? Uh..doesn't feel like it lol. After a while walking in these shoes will feel like you're walking on concrete barefoot... in the desert..lol..I'll be trying these with thicker cushion insoles for sure.

 Love at first sight..lol I had to have them when I saw them..I purchased these around spring 2010. These are some sexy shoes (to me). Love love love them. They're actually relatively comfortable and easy to walk in..UNLESS you plan to be on your feet for a long amount of time..if so...lol.........I've never really understood why they make shoes with leather soles though...why???? lol There isn't much grip to the shoe, so I plan to purchase extra grips to add on the bottom..slipping while trying to catwalk is NOT cute LOL.

I bought these either fall 2009 or spring 2010. I like interesting looking shoes, so when I saw these..I had to have them..but uh..I wasn't feelin' the price at that point in time ( Original price is around $70)...PASS LOL. I wouldn't say I'm cheap..I just like to..spend less so I can buy more! lol Seriously though, I'm more of a saver than a spender..anyway..I waited around a bit and caught them discounted for how much??? 18.75! That is what I say...is what's up! lol These shoes DO run large, I probably could have gotten a half size smaller but for the price..I just bought some heel pads to attach and called it a day lol.
