Yeswalker [Shoe Review]

So, I'm pretty sure most all of you know Yesstyle.com. You have to, seriously it's huge. Well, if you didn't know, they opened up Yeswalker, a sister site that is focused on shoes and handbags. And amazingly I was offered a collaboration to try a pair of their shoes!

I chose the Chunky Heel Ankle Strap Platforms, They're a pair of super cute and vintage looking platform heels that are brown in colour. (Though, if you're tan like I am, they might match your skin tone, essentially becoming 'nude'.) The heels are 120mm high and the heels are really thick but the actual shoes are really light and surprisingly, incredibly comfortable given their height. (This is probably due to the extremely thick platform which eliminates the incline.) I'm pretty sure they run small though, so if you're going to pick up a pair for yourself, choose a size bigger if you aren't too sure. (I have huge feet, Size 39/40 depending of the make but these were size 40 and still a little bit tight.)
They definitely make a classy statement, great for a day or night out.




I love the detailing on the back, it just gives the whole shoe a more edgy feel. A modern twist to a classic, vintage looking heel.

 The straps on this I've never seen before. it's not like the normal straps where you slide one side into the buckle and put the little bar into the hole to secure it. Instead there's a hook which you hook around the strap and buckle and it stays in place. Easy! So convenient!


The hook catches onto the decorative buckle and stays there. You can still adjust the buckle for a comfortable fit !!
Overall, the shoes were awesome, the design was cute, comfort was good and it seems fairly durable. Mine came with this small hole in the heel but it's not too noticeable so its alright. The shipping was also pretty fast, arriving to Sydney, Australia in about two weeks. Normally, the majority of my overseas parcels come in three- four weeks.
I just really love the strap. Its ingenious. :D



The most awkward photo I've ever taken.

(Calf muscles peaking, ignore them please, went the the gym to lose weight, 
and instead I get huge calf muscles.. ): I also fell over, sooo I have bruises..)



Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try them Yeswalker! I will definitely buy from you in the future!


Until next time. x
