Insolia Shoe Contest

August 16th, 2006 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Bee

Entry #1: Stefanie
Store/Style: Peter Fox in Soho, Stephanie
Heel: 3 1/4″
Price: $165, reduced from $270

I’m a total sneaker & shoe freak but I definitely need my comfort. I wear orthodics in sneakers but since I can’t wear them in dress shoes, sometimes I just need to suck it up for fashion! After lots of shoe drama, sadness and frustration (see below), I got a pair at Peter Fox (the SoHo store). His shoes were used in Chicago and are known for dancing and comfort!

After all the switching around, I guess it was meant to be, the style is Stephanie (same name as mine but spelled wrong!)

How my Peter Fox shoes will look when dyed black after the wedding but without the adornment.

The original Delman shoes I bought (from zappos), but unfortunately hurt a lot…I was soooo upset :(

The Peter Fox shoes I really wanted but cost too much $ :(

The Cynthia Rowley shoes I bought (from myglassslipper) and returned for the Peter Fox ones. Very similar but more dainty. Since I already have 2 other pairs of black pencil heel dress shoes, I went for the chunkier ones at Peter Fox, instead - since I am dying to black after.

Hope I win!

Entry #2: Josephine
Store/Style: Cynthia Rowley Tantra
Heel: 3 1/2″
Price: $199

I’m so happy you’re doing this contest because I really need those shoe inserts!

My shoes are Cynthia Rowley’s Tantra in white satin. They’re beautiful and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They’re 3″ high because I’m a little 5′2″ Chinese girl. The part I love best about the shoes are the blue soles. :)

Entry #3: Michelle
Store/Style: David’s Bridal Faith
Heel: 2 1/2″
Price: $65

Here is a picture of the shoes I wore with my tea length wedding dress. They are so beautiful on the foot and the price is very affordable. I had a french pedicure and I loved the way it looked with the open toe.

They are silk fabric and are available at David’s Bridal stores in Ivory and as a special order in White.

Entry #3: Mira
Store/Style: South Coast Plaza, Jimmy Choo
Heel: 4″
Price: $545

OK I admit. My shoe selection for my wedding day was very atypical. No white, no bows and definitely nothing that screamed wedding. I wanted it to scream me! I wanted something that I would feel sassy, confident (as in height haa haa) and HOT HOT HOT. Also, I wanted to wear it again and again. With these, I definitely can wear them with jeans or a cute dress. These were my only splurge for the wedding and I am sorry to say I did pay full price. But what other choice do you have when your ever-pragmatic sister is forcing you to buy it because she is convinced it is “the only shoe that will do your dress justice.”

I voted for the Jimmy Choo… but then again I remembered that price is also one basis for judging. And unfortunately a very big factor in deciding which to buy/get.
