Made In:

Morocco

Date Purchased:

February 2018

Why I purchased:

Needed to replace my flats that I wear at the office
The design reminds me of my grandma who wore a lot of embroidered floral and garden motifs

Attributes:

Half-inch heel
Masculine, smoking slipper vibe with a dark blue velvet upper with a beautiful embroidered floral embellishment

Pros:

Embodies what I strive my personal style to be - casual, but glamorous
Can dress up a casual outfit without looking like you’re trying too hard
Easy to slip on and off
Details of the colorful flower embroidery feel like an outfit accessory - great if you are looking for a way to add color subtly to your look

Cons:

Clomping sound while you walk - doesn't personally bother me, but might to others
Stiff upper which can cause the top of your foot to become very tender if worn at lot while walking
Feet can slip out of shoe if walking quickly

Recommended For Anyone Who:

Loves the way this shoe looks on them and is fine with having a shoe that can only be worn in controlled environments like an office or is aware that there may be some discomfort involved.
Has another pair of shoes that serve this same function so you can alternate and avoid foot pain.
Wears a lot of long ankle-length pants or tailored pieces. I think these look very good with work trousers, skinny jeans, tailored shorts, and even sweat pants.
So not this particular shoe, but mule slippers in general, I would recommend to people who don’t like wearing flip flops or having something between their toes, but are looking for something easy to put on. As you’re shopping pay attention to the material of the upper. It shouldn’t be too stiff and it should ideally cover more than half of your foot so it doesn’t feel like you’ll walk out of them.
