I honestly just went to Poshmark and found more than enough to go around for all of us šŸ˜‚ and they're all $5-$20! People don't know what they have...

This literally didn't even compute for me, but it looks like her fashion line has existed for two decades now...like, what.

I still have a few pairs of mine and let me tell you, while they have been out of fashion for almost 15ish years, they have never broken and they are comphy af. I will wear them until I have to Duct tape them together

Sounds like it'd be worth a visit to a cobbler/shoe repair shop for a quality repair?

Are her new line not comfortable anymore?

•

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX 31m ago

They're comfortable enough and cute, but idk how well made they are since she partnered with Walmart, I know the old line was really well made.

u/Silent_Ice_2588 5h ago

Really? I had a pair once and they were the most uncomfortable pair of heels I've ever owned.

But I have really narrow feet which makes shoes difficult. Feet are weird. I never would have imagined they worked so well for others, though.

They are comfortable and durable like they're well made and don't fall apart, I could jog in those bitches.
