Item of the Day: Tsubo Shoes
My twenties are winding down, and into my thirties, I will take many life lessons with me. One of the most important life lessons I’ve learned (the hard way, and over and over again), is ‘quality over quantity.’ I used to look at an expensive pair of shoes ($100 or more) and scoff in disgust. Really? THAT MUCH for one pair of shoes? No thanks. But then I’d turn around and spend nearly the same amount on 3-4 pairs of shoes and be psyched. So I had the money to spend, I just wanted to get the most for that amount. It makes sense. And certainly if those 3-4 pairs of shoes were all comfortable and fit perfectly and looked cute – then great!
More often than not though, I’d get a pair or two in that mix that didn’t fit, or even hurt because they were cheap and poorly made. I would get exactly what I paid for. I’m not saying that every expensive pair of shoes is worth the price. But if they’re comfortable, versatile, and will last you a few years, then they’re certainly better than the crappy shoes you got for $20 or less that you’ll never wear again because they were painful to walk around in. Tsubo shoes offer comfort, style, and quality kicks that might be a little more than you’d like to spend, but trust me, guys – they are worth every penny.
I have two pairs that I’m absolutely in love with. These are shoes that I’ll wear multiple times per week or month and I know they won’t pinch or fall apart.
The Rylees are laceless oxford with a patent cap toe and an extra-cushioned heel and they are heaven. They come in four colors: sangria (shown here), dark navy, black patent, and solid black. If I can wear them with any of my skinnies or with tights and a cute dress, my winter wardrobe is SET.

And then I found Tace. At first, I was intimidated as sh**, as I usually am when I find a pair of heels I like but know I probably won’t be able to walk in. Heels just aren’t really my thing. I’ve never been graceful in heels and it’s just safer for myself and those around me if I stick with flats. But I kept an open mind and tried these suckers on. And, guys? I could walk! I could walk for more than two minutes without falling down!
I fully expected to hate them eventually and need to send them back, but I’ve worn them multiple times already this winter and they’re still glorious. They’re comfortable. ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE. I don’t think I’ve ever had a heel this height that was comfortable. This style comes in black and grey suede, so both will compliment any outfit.
