Attack of the Brown Heels

I recently got my orders from Purse & Co., a multiply site that ships orders from online shopping in the US. I'm really lucky I found them because now, I could finally get shoes and clothes that are not available here. For the first batch, I ordered 4 pairs of shoes (but I'll only be covering 3 for now). These three pair are all brown high heels and wedges. You might ask why I bought shoes that look very similar. You'll know in a bit! I got really excited the first time Lesley texted me that my orders have arrived. The courier she uses is good too. It arrived the next day considering she's not based in Manila.

On with the shoes..

First up.. the brown wedges from Aldo. I'm a size 10 which is rare here in the Philippines that's why online shopping for shoes is heaven for me.

I got to use this already last Saturday when we went to Pampanga for my Lola's birthday. I wore it literally the whole day but didn't walk around much since I was in the car most of the time. The curve in the front makes it a bit hard to walk on ramps but on flat surfaces, it's amazing. It really is sky high even with the platform. It's a bit arched but the straps makes me feel safe that's why I like it so much!

Next one is from Aldo as well. I was looking for clogs but that wouldn't fit me nicely because I have wide feet and that is not sexy. So I looked for the next best thing. I like this because it's a mix of clogs and gladiators. I think that although glads are fading this one is still fashionable and very wearable. I like this with folded jeans and a plain tee and a cute sling or hand bag. Perfect for afternoon strolls. Aldo also included orange laces. YEY! Note that these are a bit slippery so I had to buy Sole Control stickers from Aldo in Rockwell. They're a bit pricey for PHP290-295 but I had to buy it. I'd rather pay 250 than to slip and break my ankle.

For the last one..

This one is from Urbanog. Brand is Qupid and these are very rubbery heels. They're not as leather as the ones from Aldo. This is almost a third of how much Aldo costs so that's probably why. But don't get me wrong, it's sturdy too and lighter than the first one (actually the first one is the heaviest). The enclosure strap near the buckle is broken, both of them, but that's repairable. Can you see the platform? I think it's an inch or more than an inch but it looks bigger. I actually didn't like it at first, was actually gunning for the light brown but they didn't have it in my size so I settled for this one.

It was too late when I realized that everything I ordered was in brown (well, majority of it.. wait for the last pair). Nevertheless, I love all the pairs I got and I can't wait to wear them all!

Thoughts? I am in love!

  3. @excSHOESme: what I do, especially for Aldo is I go to their shop here, try on their shoes and see what size i should get (im either a 9 or 10). its a lot cheaper to buy online because the new styles here are the sale and clearance shoes in the US. :) hope that helps ;)

    @Pammy: thanks pam! :)

  6. @Thrifty: like what i said to excSHOESme, i usually try them in stores first. it's much cheaper online but the catch is i have to wait for a month or so before they arrive.
