My First JustFab shoe purchase...


My First JustFab online purchase…

It’s no secret that earlier this month I shared with you guys my passion about shoes, and raved about this online store called JustFab (Just Fabulous).  Finally they’re arrived home, and I got really surprised because I expected a little bit more quality, but well, for $39.99 you can go wrong, right?
Here are the pairs that I picked:


Here are my pics of the shoes that they carry:

Lori

What they say about it:

Description

Stir up your warm-weather repertoire with Lori. Inspired by fashion from the 1970s, this disco-worthy peep-toe has caught Saturday Night Fever. Feminine features, including the dainty ankle strap and oversized bow embellishment, contrast the chunky heel and platform, while the opulent material is hot stuff. Wear Lori to cocktails on the patio at sunset.

Shoe Details

·  Approx. Heel Height: 5" 
   Approx. Platform Height: 1 1/2"
   Runs True To Size
   Synthetic Upper
   Man Made Sole
    Imported

    My thoughts:

It’s true that the idea of this shoe is amazing, a blush color, ankle strap, pretty bow on the front and so on. But the reality is that the material is really crappy in my opinion, I have not wore any of these shoes on a day out, and I can really tell that they won’t last you that long, the heels are some kind of plastic material similar of a wallpaper, not sure what to think about that, also in my case I got a pair that has glue traces and peel offs at the straps...but well, you can judge for yourself. Here are the pics:

 In the pictures above you can see what I was trying to explain earlier, the glue it's pretty visible and the material peels off really easily, remember that I haven't worn these...




Payson.

These shoes are so hot in the blogger and youtube world that I was crazy if I didn't buy them, they seemed really nice, super trendy and the color was so pretty, I got it in the color nude.

Here is the description that they give in the page:

Description

Make headlines in Payson. Mary Jane pumps may have done the fashion rounds in decades past, but Payson’s fresh extreme platform is every stylista’s brand new must-have silhouette. Velvet-soft material and rich color increase her magnificent allure.

Shoe Details

· Approx. Heel Height: 6"
· Approx. Platform Height: 2"
· Runs True To Size
· Synthetic Upper
· Man Made Sole
· Imported

 As you may know they say that this shoe runs true to size, this affirmation did came true with the other pairs but, I find that this pair in particular runs a little bit on the smaller size.  I also got really disappointed about a tear in the seaming of the fabric and sole near the heel, that really turned a caution sign for me to have more criteria for my next purchases with them. Here are the pictures of this style:




Problem area:



 Style: Zelda


What they say:

Description
Turn back time, and channel the 1970s with Zelda. The platform is ready to get down, while the braided raffia wedge is copacetic. The Mary Jane strap adds a touch of innocence to a strong silhouette that combines sleek and smooth styling with a woven-influenced embossed treatment. Wear Zelda with a bold-hued jumper to a pool party.

Shoe Details

  • Approx. Heel Height: 5"
  • Approx. Platform Height: 1"
  • Runs True To Size
  • Synthetic Upper
  • Man Made Sole
  • Imported

What I say:


This pair is by far my favorite  The design is really earthy, they come in two colors, mocha and black; I got the black ones because of the contrast between the colors of the heels and the back of the shoe, I simply love it! The details of it is really amazing and so put together, I let you be the judge here, showing you the pictures:







Style: Debbie

What they say:

Description
Debbie will catch you on the flip side of fashion. Her dramatic wood platform and block heel feel the funk, while her girlish T-strap creates a striking contrast to the otherwise heavy silhouette. Enhance Debbie’s feminine feel by wearing her with a baby doll dress, or play up her disco heritage and pair with sequin hot pants.
Shoe Details
  • Approx. Heel Height: 5"
  • Approx. Platform Height: 1"
  • Runs True To Size
  • Synthetic Upper
  • Man Made Sole
  • Imported

What I say:

As I said earlier the heels of these kinds of shoes are a “wood” paper print or something like that, so don’t expect something near wood, it looks that it can damage easily if you are like me that every time I sit I hit my heel with something. So be warned.  This style comes in two colors, black and brown. The black is a true black, with a little bit of shine, but the brown ones aren’t a true brown, I see them more burgundy brown than true brown, as you may see in the pictures. They really are comfortable and nice to walk in, and the style really goes with pretty much anything for this summer.

Final thoughts:
Being 100% honest in my opinion; I know that for $39.99 I can’t expect super quality or durable shoes, but I was expecting a little bit more than what I got.  If I got a second chance of purchasing these shoes again, I would do my research, looking for reviews and ‘real’ pictures, so that I would know what to expect with them. I’m not saying that all of their shoes are bad quality or anything like that; I’m just speaking from my experience with them, as you saw not all of them runs with the same fate and I’m just speaking regarding the 5 styles that I got,  maybe the other styles are superb and I just got unlucky with my picks. I hope that this post was helpful to you! Sorry if it was super long, take care and hope to write to you soon J If you got any questions regarding this shoes or about the experience of buying shoes online, feel free to ask!

  1. Thanks for the review, and I agree completely about the quality.. Could be a bit better, or at least there shouldn't be any obvious defects like that tear..
