I've visited Tsubo's website. It's missing an eye-catching promotional image on the homepage and I think I've discovered the perfect one. This is Adriene and her Tsubo Anush mary jane pumps. Don't they look great at the end of her toned ballet dancer legs? Amazingly the arrows are not photo-shopped, they're rings!
Now I'm as skeptical as the next gal with chronic foot pain about a three inch heel, but I remain open to trying a new brand that claims to meld style with comfort. Adriene's positive comments helped me make the decision to place my order today.
"The pumps in the picture have this padded/shock absorption under the ball of the foot, and the heel is placed in such a way that support the female body and the stresses of city walking. I LOVE my shoes."
Adriene also tipped me off to Amazon's amazing deal on the Tsubo Anush: $41.99 with free shipping!
Another popular style by Tsubo is the Acrea slingback. My stylish blogger friend Sally over at AlreadyPretty owns the Acrea in black and red. In fact she featured them with some "easy throw-on outfits" earlier this week. Here's what she had to say about her comfortable shoes:
I consider my Acreas to be my basic, go-to pump. Although they have a
strap - which,
technically, makes them Mary Janes - it's a thin,
asymmetrical strap so, in my mind, they become "awesome, unusual
pumps." They have a high enough heel to elongate my leg, but since the
heel is relatively thick, they are still superb walking shoes. Well,
for distances of 10 or fewer blocks, anyway. Tsubo Acreas have a
rounded toe and wide toebox, for optimum tootsie comfort, and a
slingback detail that makes them even more interesting and appealing.
I own them in black, red, and brown, and have been eying them in cream
and gray for a while. I recommend them to friends and strangers on a
weekly basis, no lie. Acreas are comfortable, stylish, and trendproof.
Love 'em!
