Last summer I was obsessed with these sneakers and debated buying them for over a month. Finally the shopping demon inside of me decided that I should just buy them as a gift for myself for finally getting a job. This post will be a review of the shoes themselves as well as my overall experience ordering them from the website NastyGal.
Before ordering them I did my research on where I could find them and reviews on the quality of the shoes. I ended up choosing NastyGal because it seemed to be a trusted website and I felt confident that I wouldn't get a knock off brand. As for the shoes themselves I read a ton of great reviews and they looked pretty versatile when paired with a variety of outfits. The sole of the shoes are obviously huge and look very heavy, reviews told me that they really aren't as heavy as they look.
Now onto the actual ordering,
The day I decided to order them there was only one pair left! Like a sign from God, they happened to be my size. I ordered and it came to around 90 dollars after taxes and shipping. I was later emailed that the original box they came in was damaged but the shoes were fine. They notified me that they would be put in a different box and gave me a 5$ store credit for the inconvenience. I forget how long it took to actually receive the shoes, but it felt like forever. When they finally arrived just by looking at them I could tell that they would be too small. And sure enough they were definitely too small for my feet even though they were my regular size 9. Since I bought the last pair they restocked fully. It cost me about 35$ just to send them back and them I had to re-order to a size 10 and wait some more. After all that hassle the larger size fit perfectly.
My opinion,
If you order these shoes, definitely order a size up because they run small. As for the weight issue, when you pick them up, yes, they do feel lighter than you would think. BUT, wearing them on your feet all day, you can feel the weight giving you a bit of a workout. One day I was going on vacation and I decided to wear these shoes on my feet so they wouldn't take up so much room in my luggage. Unfortunately that was a terrible idea because I had to walk 15 mins to catch my bus. All I can say is, I don't think my thighs have burned that bad before. Other than the slight weight issue, they are pretty comfortable and great quality. The perfect sneaker with a little extra something to stand out. And of course I ordered black because black goes with everything.
