CitySlips Review

In the winter, I swear by my UGGs to get me through the Michigan winters. I wear them from my car to work, and once I get in the office my UGGs come off and I put my heels on. For the summer months, I wear flip flops as my 'commuting' shoes, and for this Fall, I'm wearing CitySlips.

CitySlips are ballet like slipper flats that fold in half, and fit inside a small tote. The pouch unfolds into a larger tote so you can carry your heels in it. Genius, really. These slips are perfect if you walk to work, even a few blocks. I love my heels, but I don't like wearing how they make my feet feel after 9 hours at work, so it's nice to slip into something comfortable at the end of the day on the way to my car.

These would also be a great gift for a bridal party. We all know bridesmaid shoes end up killing your feet after all the dancing! This is something that bridesmaids can use over and over again :)

You can purchase these from my OpenSky Shop!
