I love wearing heels in the winter. In fact, I feel that it adds a little oomph to your outfit. There is something about elongating the leg, feeling your shoulders pushed back properly and did I mention the appreciative stares? After a day of work, going out for holiday parties and more, you're feet don't see heels the same way that you envision them and they require relief. We all have backup shoes but many of these shoes are not our favorite choice when we go out and how many pairs of shoes are under your desk simply because you didn't want to lug them around or didn't have a bag for them? Spare Soles is the solution. This past week, I had the luxury of trying these shoes on in a variety of scenarios and I am in love and finally my feet and I have a bit of a truce. First, my bag didn't have to suffer with these shoes. These "foldable" ballet shoes have their own little bag that fits comfortably in your purse or can be like a wristlet (yes I slipped cash, my Metro card and a few necessities) and there isn't a worry about the extra weight or whether someone peers in your bag and wonders why you have a plastic bag in there.

Packaging aside, the shoes are so adorable. I loved the silver ballet shoes and the fact that after first wearing them after a long day of work, I actually wore them during work with cute leggings and a tunic. I loved how the bows added a sparkle to my office and when we unexpectedly went out for drinks, there wasn't a mad scramble to find out what shoes had to be worn. People thought they were cute and wondered how they could get a pair as well. Finally, there is the security of knowing that you have a great back up that works well with so many outfits! Spare Soles is a great gift and can be used when you travel, in between activities and more. Take a moment to visit the site and don't be shy - order a few - what a great stocking stuffer!
