Sara Blakely says of her new sneaker heels, Sneex, “I just want to feel like I’m standing in a sneaker, but be in a 3-inch heel.” We put them to the test.
Spanx founder Sara Blakely knows better than anybody that, oftentimes, innovation is borne out of frustration. “I had bought these cream pants that hung in my closet that I couldn’t figure out how to wear – the thong showed, everything showed – and so I created my homemade solution to wear under those pants that were better than anything else I could find on the market,” she says of her billion-dollar idea. Now, Blakely is tackling her next point of frustration: stilettos.
But, in the name of journalism, I was willing to set aside my personal tastes and give them a try to see if they were really as comfortable as advertised. I opted for the red and orange colourway with a pink Velcro strap, called the Tepper, which will be available in Sneex’s October drop.
