I have been searching for a pair of elegant, yet comfortable black leather pumps for decades. After an exhaustive trial and error search, I happened upon some reviews for Sarah Flint. The reviews included details that sounded too good to be true. All of their shoes are:
* Beautifully handcrafted in Italy
* Made with fine calfskin or suede
* Classic, timeless styles with thoughtful details
* Padded footbed with arch support
* Comfortable to wear and have a slip resistant sole
I was a bit skeptical - a comfortable high-heeled Pump is as common as a rainbow unicorn. Am I right, gals?
We are often in Dallas so when I read that there was a Sarah Flint Pop-Up at my favorite mall - NorthPark - I had to see what all the hype was about.
First of all, their customer service was absolutely amazing! I was like a kid in a candy store and tried on several styles in different sizes and they were very patient with me as I walked around their store. This included walking in the back where there are wood floors to see how the pumps felt on a hard surface.
Have you noticed how shoe stores have carpeting and you're thinking, these shoes aren't too bad. Then the minute your foot hits tile, cement or any hard surface it's instant pain in the ball of your foot and you feel unsteady as the smooth sole of the shoe slips underneath you. Talk about a balancing act!
The first shoe I tried on was The Perfect Pump 85mm. They are leather inside and out. The material feels buttery soft against your skin. And because they're a natural material your foot breathes so no sweaty feet. When my foot stepped onto the wood the pumps felt the same as on carpet! Really!
I continued to try on other styles such as the Natalie flat in the color saddle, the Rosie in an assortment of colors and the The Perfect Jay 85mm. But between each style I'd try on The Perfect Pump again, and walk around to see if they still felt good. Like I said, the sales associates were very accommodating and so helpful.
Once I decided to take the plunge on the pump in Black they helped me set up an account and were able to add the influencer code for a discount. These shoes are an investment, ladies. However, you'll actually be able to wear these shoes so you'll definitely get your money's worth out of them. The associate told me that if the shoes don't hold up they stand behind them. You just ship them back for repair, free of charge. They also have free shipping and returns if you want to try them yourself and don't live in NYC, Dallas or Nashville.
I'm so excited to have a pair of beautifully crafted black pumps. I've found my rainbow unicorn!
By the way, the Rosie shoe in leopard suede were sooo comfortable that I had to add those to my bag as well! read more
