The reason

I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

Zara slingbacks 95mm in beige with glitter bows

 I was never going to buy shoes from Zara again after a few pairs of very uncomfortable mistakes but I couldn’t walk away from these. Love the color schemes and the glitter bows. They were intended for a Barbie themed dinner but it got cancelled and I never got a chance to wear them. One day!

Zara sandals in orange microfibre

Against better judgement I took a chance on Zara shoes once again.  They seemed harmless enough and I thought they would be fun for the summer.  While they are not painful to wear luckily, they are rather uncomfortable to walk in.  And the slingback straps keep sliding off.  They have been sitting in the closet as I can't get myself to put up with difficult shoes anymore.  True to size.

Zara platform sandals 125mm in blue fabric

I'm crazy about blue this season.  When I saw these in Zara I had to have them, despite all my unlucky incidents with Zara shoes.  Love the playful color and zip design.  I am trying to convince my self that these shouldn't hurt because of the thick and seemingly supportive straps.  Will try them out when I am ready for heels again.  At 125mm I probably won't be running around with them on.   True to size.

Note:  I finally got to wear them and I hated myself for once again wasting money on Zara shoes! I had them on to walk to the front entrance of my building, got driven to the mall door-to-door pretty much, and took a number of escalators to go to the restaurant.  My point is there was minimal walking, and the walking was done on smooth marble surfaces all the way pretty much.  Yet I wanted to chop my feet off by the time I walked back to the car to go home.  My feet kept sliding forward as these shoes offer no support whatsoever.  It's not the height but rather the shape and the man-made sole I suspect, as my other 125mm shoes would never do that.  I had to give these shoes away right away as I couldn't stand to try them on again and go through the agony.

Zara ballet flats in green leather

I had a couple of bad experiences with Zara shoes before and while I swear I would not buy any more I fell for these.  I totally fell in love with the color.  The pattern feels very Bottega too.  They feel very light-weight and the leather feels very soft as well.  They are still brand new in my closet I hope they will be comfortable when put to the test.  Buy one size up.

Note:  I finally wore them and within 5 mins of wearing (without excessive walking) the right heel started to rub.  I am never buying Zara again!
