Finding Solemate

And that's not typo, my dear. Solemate is a brand that is a "mate" /friend to my sole.

Wearing Solemate is like walking on marble floors wearing cushion-like, comfortable socks.

I've worn minimum of three inches heels that I've blogged before here and now I am so addicted to flats because I have to wear it out of necessity.

I'm really lucky when it comes to finding shoes. I was able to find really good ones mostly on sale and more than 50% off. I'm not the type to splurge a huge amount on one designer pair.

This year, I have slowly migrated to flats and loafers. I went to the nearest mall few months ago and saw these ballet flats, called SOLEMATE, on sale. You get 2 pairs for the price of Php 399.75. But again, because you get two for that price, the design is very limited.

Then two months later, before I knew it, I already have 6 pairs of these. The problem that I have is sometimes when I get really lucky with sale season, I really push my luck and limits. Now I am eyeing four more pairs = two more purchases before I call it enough.

I know some people may think that this might be a luxury, but I believe footwear is a really good investment (next to brassiere for women). You have no idea how much walking that I do to get to work (because I am crimping on gas and I live in a pretty small community). I know and I am fully aware that the ballet flats is making a comeback but certain flat shoes sold at the mall costs like one grand, so finding something cute and comfy that equates to 5 pairs per one grand is already a steal! Plus I get to match my flats with whatever color of blouse/shirt that I have on. :)

I know I said that the designs are limited but last week my sister got me this:

New Solemate flats! Yey!

They have new batch of printed ballet flats ( floral, leopard patterns etc) but I still prefer the plains and classics.  I officially have seven pairs but do you know that the total amount of my 7 pairs of flats equates to 1 pair of signatured ballet flats?

Quick Review:

• The ballet flats is so soft and it really does feel like socks, only thicker.
• I suggest you get one size smaller than your regular size because the shoes expand when worn.
• Not meant for the hard core walking on certain concrete. (read: trekking, walking on rocks, etc)
• Don’t expect for it to last forever. It’s only 2 for Php 399.75 and sometimes we get what we pay for.
