Okay, so I finally got my hands on these Lifestride wedge booties and here's the tea ☕.
First off, they're SO comfy! The 'Soft System' thing isn't just marketing - I wore them all day running errands and my feet didn't hate me. The recycled materials are a nice eco-touch too.
The style? Chef's kiss 👌. That corduroy back panel and metallic buckle give major vintage vibes. They look bomb with both skinny jeans and dresses.
Pro tip: Size up if you're between sizes! The toe box runs a smidge narrow. The side zipper is genius though - no awkward hopping to get them on.
Only gripe? The heel area needs some breaking in. First wear was a bit stiff, but after 2-3 wears they molded perfectly to my feet.
For the price? 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting cute AND comfortable boots that won't murder your feet by 3pm.
