It is hard to find a pair of comfortable sandals that are also stylish.
Last week I have received Sam Edelman's Sophie Mini Wedges that I ordered from Bloomingdales Friends and Family sale.

Sam Edelman Sophie Mini Wedges really remind me of another high priced sandals that I really like, but couldn't afford, this time from Pierre Hardy:

| Sam Edelman Sophie Wedges in coral |
Do you see the resemblance?
The coral colorway is gorgeous but I was looking for something else. My other
pair of good looking comfortable wedges are the cork sandals from Ellen
Tracy. I bought them last year in spring and I have been wearing them a lot. They are
perfect when you want the neutral sandal to tone down colorful outfit.
See how they have a different vibe, with Sam Edelman wedges 'toughening up' a sweet print of DVF dress?

The sandals are very comfortable. The wedge is only 2.25 and my foot was secure and not sliding. They have decent amount of cushioning and the zipper in the back lets you
slide into them without undoing the buckle. I love this feature!
I like how they add a little pop to an outfit, especially in black/brown version and they go almost with everything in this color combination. With the discount, the price was reasonable and I don't feel like I am spending a fortune on something that is rather on the trendy side.
I think they are a keeper!

What do you think?
Do you like the colorblocked trend in sandals?
What is your favorite pair of summer sandals?
Please share, it would be no fun without you!
The sandals definitely give the dress a different vibe. I tried some wedge sandals from Madewell recently but they didn't work out but I do have some wedge espadrilles. In general I much prefer heels. My Chie Mihara Dura sandals are the hands down favorite.
ReplyDeleteIs it sandal weather in your neck of the woods already?
it is not yet a sandal weather here but I hope it is close. I love wearing sandals and my work place is casual enough that I can wear them. I don't have anything similar to SE wedges.
DeleteI do have a couple of Chie sandals and they are great. I love your Dura sandals, they are beautiful!
Those sandals definitely reflect the colorblocked trend, I love them on you! My favorite pair of sandals are actually from a rather unknown Spanish brand Argila, they're not wedges but flats similar to some of the flats seen at Madewell. I'll def have to try the wedge at Bloomingdales. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI have few pairs of flat sandals but the like the ones with heels or wedges because I can wear them to work. I have to check out Argila, I never heard of them...
DeleteThose are very cute sandals but they look better with the skirt than with the dress IMO (too many colors I think but I am a matchy-matchy person. For example I hated the look in the catalog with the gondola-striped skirt, the blue linen sweater and the green sandals, I was tempted to take my daughter's staples and color those shoes blue or red).
ReplyDeleteThanks Ema, I hear you on the matching... I am a former matchy matchy girl but I have warmed up to the not matchy styles but I agree it sometimes just looks random, there has to be something unifying the look... To my eye the dress is fine with the sandals especially with a black purse. I also have the kate Spade purse with exactly the same brown as the shoe strap, I thought that looked good too with a black bracelet.
