September Shoes | Jeffrey Campbell "Foxtrot"

 There's been so much hype over Jeffrey Campbell shoes over the last couple of years, and I finally decided to get myself a pair. Truthfully, I haven't seen a style that I liked until now. Suddenly I have quite a few pairs of JC shoes on my wish list- and I started with the "Foxtrot".


I absolutely love the black, simple strap style of heeled sandal. They just look super chic, classic, and compliments absolutely everything. I love how they are a bit "chunkier" and go well with bulkier clothing. The suede material caught my eye, as well as the velcro strap. It's still classic, but a bit more casual for every day. Zara's leather single strap sandal has a similar idea, but are much less comfortable (but still absolutely gorgeous). 



These shoes are quite comfortable and easy to walk around in. Because the strap across the toes is a bit thicker it doesn't dig into the foot. The sole is soft and padded, and the rubber bottom provides great traction. My only (minor) complaint is that sometimes the velcro comes undone walking down stairs (living in Manhattan comes with those pesky subway stairs!). It's not the biggest deal though, I can always loosen the velcro beforehand. These are the perfect cross between heels and comfort shoes. Loveee.



I purchased these at Nordstrom, and they come in black, red, mint, tan, and black/tan in sizes 5-12, and they fit true to size. I've been wearing mine everywhere, with dresses to ripped boyfriend jeans. Definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes.
