The remainder of my shoe order from Payless arrived and they are all keepers, that is, they fit and don’t hurt.
Layla Front-Zip Heel
“Elevate your style with the Layla from Fioni! It features a glitter mesh upper, zipper up the vamp, peep toe, pearlized lining, padded footbed, 4-inch heel with a 1/2-inch platform, and a sturdy outsole.”crossdresser”
When this pair arrived, I eyeballed the heel and thought it looked higher than 4 inches. So I measured it and it is almost 5 inches high. The glitter is so subtle that I would not hesitate to wear these shoes out anywhere… except on the cobblestone streets of Provincetown. I paid $27.99 for these beauties on sale versus the regular price of $39.99.
Sinclair High Wedge
“Easily dressed up or dressed down, the Sinclair espadrille from American Eagle features a faux suede upper, ankle sling with adjustable strap, faux leather lining and padded footbed, woven 4-inch wedge with 1-inch platform, and a durable outsole.”
This is a shoe I probably won’t wear much until next spring, but at $12 a pair, I bought a pair now (in red) before they disappeared in my size. “crossdressing”
Mink Medallion Wedge
“The Mink Wedge from Fioni can take you from work to weekend in no time flat! It features a pretty round toe with shiny medallion, 3-inch wrapped wedge, jersey lining, “sissy” padded insole, and rubber outsole.”
I chased this shoe for months, but it was always sold out in my size online and in the store. Then surprise, it was suddenly available this week in my size online and at an incredible clearance price of only $10. I bought a pair in black patent.
One problem that occurred when my new shoes arrived is where to store them. My closet space is overflowing, so I guess it’s time to go through my shoe collection and eliminate the seldom worn footwear.
