LifeStride Women's Clarissa Slingback Pumps

I’m in my 30’s and work an office job that still requires a fair bit of walking. I had been on a flats kick for a while and wanted to elevate my wardrobe a bit…but heels, in the past, did not serve me well, and I was also in pain by the end of a work day. Anyway, I kept scrolling past ads for Naturalizer and LifeStride and I figured, this is my life now. I am old and worn out and the universe is telling me I need to purchase “old lady” shoes. Because if I’m being honest, I always saw these two brands this way. I know they prioritized comfort but it was not usually synonymous with style. I looked at LifeStride and immediately fell in love with the Clarissa slingback (also, a slingback is the ultimate cheat code for heels). I bought them (with my own money, this is not some b.s. paid for review) and loved them even more in person. HOWEVER, I do want to add that I bought two pairs of LifeStride shoes and the boxes arrived like they were the only thing on the delivery truck and the driver was going 150+mph at all times (I don’t like this part because I keep my fall/winter shoes and boots in their boxes to store them away out of season). Anyway, I wore the Clarissa for the first time this week and recieved several compliments AND wore them all day and with pleasure. I wasn’t waiting to rip them off my feet when I got home, no blisters or rubbing, etc. Either LifeStride ain’t for “old ladies” anymore or I’m officially delusional (it’s the former, I promise 😅). Also, I’ll leave a review about the second pair I bought because they were also perfection!
