About 80% of the shoes I own have some sort of heel and while I’ve learned to endure many hours in business, social and everyday situations, a little bit of excess weight has taken a toll on me.  The amount of time I can endure in heels is a little less than what it used to be.  When I say excess weight, I mean I’m 1 lb away from the weight I was on the day I gave birth to my son, now age 13.  Granted, that was many years ago and we all know our bodies change as we age, I gained 42 lbs during my pregnancy.  I’d like to at least shed 20 of those.  With that, even before the return of the weight when my son was 5, I still had my limits.

Footzyfolds are foldable, stylish and comfortable shoes that can fit in your purse, glove compartment, desk drawer and more.  While their design is mostly intended to relieve you from trying to make the Guinness Book of World Records for longest time in heels, I actually find them super cute and fashionable.

I had the opportunity to review the Fresca in Beige.  The Fresca is available in Beige, Blue, Pink, and Black textured upper with matching tassel embellishment.

Here’s what they look like folded.  The color more closely resembles that of the image above.

I’ve worn them a few times, but decided to put them to the full test by wearing them to the grocery store.

$250.00 in groceries later…

It was a mini marathon of a few hours and since I went to Aldi, included about 1/2 hour bagging my own HUGE mound of groceries that nearly overflowed the cart.  In all honesty, it’s almost like I didn’t even know they (the Footzyfolds) were there.  Plus, instead of looking all frumpy, it jazzed up my pair of jeans and a tee.  I’d have to say that’s my favorite part about them.

Excuse the big red blotch on my foot! I’m actually wearing them as I type this review and I’ve been sitting criss-cross applesauce!!

Here’s what they look like on!

Footzyfolds are available in tons of styles.  I like this style (Fresca in Beige) because it’s more neutral and can be paired with almost anything! Ranging in price from $36-$69, other styles include boots, animal prints, metallic, multi-colored, loafers, basic colors, lacy and sporty types.  Can you imagine foldable stylish boots that fit in your purse?

I can’t wait to get more use out of these puppies! I can imagine endless uses for them.

• Imagine a business trip where you wear slip-on shoes with socks to get through the airport and then needing to quickly change upon arriving at your destination.
• Imagine driving to work in a comfy pair of shoes versus big ole heels.  I can’t tell you how many pairs of “extra” shoes I have in my car.  Now I can finally stop storing mounds of shoes in my car!
• Wear them around the house as house shoes, especially when guests come over!! Love your carpet/flooring and still be stylish!
• Wear them to a business dinner and there is no more need for a journey to your hotel room or car for the after dinner shoe change!
• If you hold more than one job and job 1 requires dressy/business attire and other requires a bit more casual or comfortable, you can easily head straight from one job to another!

The only hurdle I experienced was foot perspiration.  Since my feet tend to perspire in flip-flops and foot perspiration is not an every day topic in conversations, I don’t really know where my feet compare to others on the perspiration scale.  I feel that for me, part of it is excess weight and the other is lack of sufficient hydration.  So, if your feet have a tendency to perspire, be prepared.  There are tons of “treatments” you can use to prepare for this!!
