Charles David Designer Shoes

Mali Shoes from Charles David:

This is going to sound weird, especially coming from a guy, but I needed a pair of Charles David shoes for a drag costume party. This was a costume party that happens every year around Halloween time. I was going with my boyfriend and we were dressing up as some sort of 1950's flappers. We were looking online and we came across these Charles David shoes so we decided to take a look. We came across some very interesting colors and styles but the ones that really spoke to me were the Mali shoes. They were advertised in a lavendar color with silver toes edges. I fell in love and had to have them. Well I actually didn't have to have them, but the drag party was in a few weeks and I needed themm right away. Plus I had looked elsewhere and I didn't really find what I was looking for with other shoes. So I put in the order online and the came in a little over a week. I was kind of sketipcal due to my sizing and the fact that I hadn't tried them on yet, but when they came I was pleasantly suprised. I put them on and they fit and worked well with the costume I was going to wear. The next week when my boyfriend and I went to the party we had won second place in the contest. It made me feel good because I knew deep down inside that buying these shoes had helped.

Pros: The pros of these shoes are the fit and color and style. I will wear them again for other drag parties. I got them online and they came right away

Cons: The only con I found is that it did cost me almost $200 dollars, after shipping and handling. I mean Charles Daivd shoes are a bit expensive, no matter how they are worth it. He and I had looked elsewhere and even went to places that sold these types of shoes as well, but couldn't find the Mali ones that I wanted to get. But I guess that is what happens when you buy something from the actual website of the brand.

Amount Paid: After shipping I paid close to $200 for them

Purchase Date: October 10,2012

Online or In-Store: Online

Final Notes: After this experience with Charles David Shoes, despite the high price, I will recommend these shoes to not only my women friends, but my other gay friends who dress in drag as well.

Recommended: Yes

Overall Rating: I would give these shoes a 5 star rating and I never use the 5 star lightly.

Solus Suede T-Strap Sandal by Charles David:

“Walking Elegance”, the only thing that comes to mind whenever I wear these Solus sandals that I bought from the Charles David website a while back. I had been looking for a new pair of sandals to add to my wardrobe, but was not able to find any good shoe at the stores located in my area. I decided to look online for this purpose and was fortunate to find the product I was looking for on the first website I visited, the Charles David website.

The shoe that had attracted my attention on this website was the Solus T-strap sandal. It had an elegant design with a nice heel and looked quite stylish in the pictures present on the website. I had heard a lot of praise from some colleagues of mine about the sandals of Charles David and was thus tempted to buy it.

The only thing that was a little concerning for me was the price of the sandal, which was a little out of my budget. However, when I was unable to find any other decent sandal on the website, I decided to take a chance with this one and went ahead with its purchase.

I placed an order for it online, which was a very simple process. I just had to place the item in my shopping cart and then move to the checkout phase. This whole procedure took about five minutes to complete. Now, all I had to do was to wait for the website to process my order and ship the sandal to my home.

It took the website just a single day to deliver the product to my doorstep. I was so happy to have the sandal in my hand so soon after having placed the order. I immediately put it on and walked a bit in these sandals. I was so happy to see that walking in these sandals was very comfortable. The T-strap design of this sandal suited me and I had no trouble in balancing myself on the small heel of this shoe.

I wore this sandal the next day to my office. All of my colleagues there noticed my new sandal and complemented me on how elegant they looked. I was happy to receive a positive feedback from them about my sandals, as they rarely praise anything I buy. I felt very proud of myself to have made the decision of buying this sandal.

All throughout the day at work, I had to walk around a lot from cabin to cabin due to my work, but I rarely felt any pain in my feet. Even when I returned home, I did not feel any pain, which was a great benefit of this sandal that I realized after having used it. I would like to recommend this sandal to all the working women out there who want to buy a comfortable sandal that they can wear to their offices.

Pros: Solus is a stylish new sandal for women released by Charles David that had a very beautiful design. It has a nice heel and is made from suede, one of the most liked materials by women. The T-strap of the sandal makes it easier for the women to walk in them and they do not feel the uneasiness that is common in other sandals or shoes of this niche.

Cons: I was not able to find anything to complain about this item other than its high price. It had a wonderful design, great color, nice heel and was made from a very quality material. One more thing; I just wish they had offered a few more colors to offer more for the price being charged. Hope that didn’t sound like a complaint!

Amount Paid: $ 195.00

Final Notes: Solus is an elegant t-strap sandal made from suede. It has a very splendid design that makes it ideal to wear for working women of any age.

Black Sequin Handbag by Charles David Shoes:

I have been a big fan of Charles David Shoes ever since I entered the working world. They are excellent quality and are always really cute for work, formal events, and anywhere you need to wear nice shoes. I hate paying full price for anything, and I am on the website a lot keeping an eye on my favorite styles. This way I can snatch them up when they are marked down.

In early December, I was stalking a pair of party shoes that I needed for a New Year’s Eve event. I kept looking to see if they were reduced in the winter clearance sales. When I was on the website, I happened to check out the handbag section. Unbelievably, there was this amazing sequin handbag in the style that I have always wanted, but thought was a frivolous purchase. It is a black sequin clutch that would be perfect for any evening event where you do not want to bring your usual handbag. I hate having to bring my big leather bag with me when I am dressed up for the night. I was thrilled to find this perfect bag at such a great price.

I bought it, and it came to me within the week. The bag was packed up in tissue paper carefully and came in perfect condition. It is actually better looking in person than it was on the website. I wore it to my New Year’s Eve dinner and a few other times since then. I have gotten a lot more use out of it than I thought I would. Every time I take it out with me, I get compliments on it from the women I am with. The style is really classic. There is nothing trendy about the design or color. I plan to hold on to it for a very long time. I am so happy that I checked out Charles David Handbags, and I am even more of a devotee to the brand now than I was before.

Pros: Charles David Shoes are a brand that you can count on for good quality and good design. I felt safe buying a product that deviated from their standard, because I knew who I was dealing with.

Cons: I wish I had known that this great shoe company also sold purses. I would have spent a little more on this bag if I had known about it earlier. I had other events that I went to where I could have used an evening bag.

Other Info: From now on, I will check the other categories on the shoe website. I love this cute little bag!

Amount Paid: $69.00

Purchase Date: December 2012

Final Notes: This purchase was a pleasant surprise. I was happy to see that Charles David quality extends to its accessories. I won’t think of them as just a shoe designer anymore!

Overall Rating: 5 Stars

Pros: Excellent material, stylish outlook and high heeled; what else a woman can want from a sandal.

Cons: It is available in only three colors, which will restrict the dresses on which you can wear these beautiful sandals.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a sandal that is comfortable as well as stylish and is fit to wear both to a party or an official meeting, then the Solstice available at Charles David is the best thing you can buy.

A Review of Solstice Suede Platform Sandal

User Rating: (4 out of 5) Shoes are an important part of the attire of the women. There are different varieties of shoes available that are for different events and occasions. Charles David is chain of stores that deals in shoes of all varieties made especially for women. The one I got, deep lavender Solstice Suede Platform Sandal, is one that speaks for itself, with people unable to take their eyes away from my feet when I wear this lovely pair of sandals. The store has a great online website that eases the process of shopping beautiful sandals, shoes, boots and pumps for women.

The store also provides free delivery within US for an order of worth more than $100. The company knows about the type of shoes and styles that are popular among the women in US and their designs are always meant to ensure that ladies have the best sandals, pumps and boots available at the store. I not only get praised for how lovely and appealing these sandals look, but I also enjoy the feeling of comfort and luxury while I am wearing them.

How does it look? The appearance of the shoes is extremely fabulous; any women who would see the sandal once would never stop from buying it, if she can afford the Solstice Suede Platform Sandal. Available in Deep Lavender, Iris Navy and Tannin, the suede platform can be bought in any size from 5.5 to 10. The material used in making the sandal of the highest quality which reveals itself when it is just touched. The leather used in making the sandal is extremely soft and smooth suede made from the underside of the skin of different animals. This is the reason the exterior of the sandal feels so fluid and polished. Plus, the deep lavender color also makes every single stitch and curve shine itself even more, so much so that people simply can’t take their eyes off my sandals.

As far as the design and the looks of the sandal are considered, they are just too awesome. The Solstice Suede Platform is stylish and beautiful and its 5 inches heel is enough to distinguish anyone from others. In short, the sandal is ideal to be worn to parties. The three colors in which the Solstice is available also point out the fact that it has been made to be worn to parties. Though, it is available in other colors as well, deep lavender is by far the most ideal color in which it is available in the store and that is why I went for it.

How does it perform? The Solstice is as comfortable as a sandal with such a high heel can be. This is largely due to its 1 inch platform that makes it easy for me to walk in the Solstice Suede without having to balance each step. The beauty of the sandal is that its platform does not impact its elegant and stylish looks negatively. In order to make sure that the sandal is fit in your beautiful feet, an adjustable side buckle is provided in the sandal to allow for easy adjustment.

The comfort provided by the Solstice is enhanced due to the fact that not only its exterior is made up of Suede, but its insole is also made up of the soft leather. The lining and the sole of the sandal is made up of leather. The sole is made up of leather because standard full grain leather is much more durable than suede. This sandal is extremely light weight and I don’t even feel it on my feet. The open design of the shoe enables me to feel my feet while walking, and its bright color allow for beautiful dresses to be worn with the shoe.

The shoe would be delivered free of cost inside US if you order it from the Charles David online store.

Final Conclusion If you are looking for an ideal sandal that is fashionable and comforting at the same time, then you better look for the Solstice Suede Platform Sandal. The sandal has been made from the finest suede leather that is extraordinarily smooth and supple. In addition to its beautiful design and marvelous looks, the sandal is also very durable because its sole has been made of the best quality leather. Its 5 inch high heel comes with a 1 inch base and makes it extremely easy for me to walk wearing the shoes. Even if you are looking for a sandal for someone as a gift, the Solstice is the ideal choice.

A Review of CharlesDavid Manta Designer Shoes

User Rating: (4 out of 5) I simply fell in love on the very first sight with this pair of Manta Suede and Metallic Leather Platform Pump that I got from CharlesDavid.com. Suede is crafted and adorned with high shine metallic leather with this peep toe platform pump outshining my whole wardrobe. Charles David.com not only has their Valentine shoes out, but they are sporting a modern new website as well. The website has the complete online assortment of shoes and accessories as well as some great photography for the customer to better access the shoes they are interested in. I was not only able to select these shoes that I wanted quite conveniently, but I absolutely love wearing them and becoming the center of attraction anywhere I go.

How does it look? The upper area of these shoes is suede metallic patent leather with leather lining, insole, and sole; and is easy slip-on. These shoes have a self-covered suede heel that measure approximately 5 inches or 130 mm with a 1 inch or 25 mm self-covered platform. Fits are true to size and available in full and half sizes in U.S. sizing. They come in iris or navy colors and for my flare for dark colors; I chose the navy color, which makes me shine anywhere I go around with other ladies inquiring me where I bought these shoes from.

Charles David is making the move back to the craftsmanship of the Italians, as they believe this is where the finest in shoes are manufactured. Many brands are moving to Chinese manufacturing, but Charles David believes that there is just no comparison and they will continue to produce shoes in Italy.

Currently they are working with almost ten different factories in Italy to manufacture these shoes. Their current online line of shoes includes boots and booties, pumps, wedges, sandals, flats and shoes for evening in both the brand design and Charles design. Their shoes for women are sporting a lot of different solid colors as well as up to four colors in some shoes along with the business look of basic black. There is a lot of purple this season as well as oranges in varied styles.Not only do they have a wide variety of shoes, but I also had a lot of fun and excitement surfing through their highly interactive and interesting social blog. Earlier in 2012, they showed their S/S 12 collections to the top editors in fashion magazine and these editors chose several styles as their favorites of the season and these are featured on the blog.

The editors from magazines like Marie Claire Glamour, and Elle were wild about the classic, but trendy “Clarissa” color block pump and they fell in love with the color combination on the “Paradox” cutout sandal, which as the colors of bright turquoise and celadon green together. Many of these shoes are being featured on the cover of fashion magazines as well as being worn by many of those who work and play in Hollywood. These are the brand of shoes that will be seen on the red carpets with the upcoming award season and I will be able to boast of wearing the same brand as some of the top celebrities.

How does it perform? Although rather pricey, as I realized how these shoes are made – the price is worth the value I get from chic and trendy shoes that fit well as well as being made well. Wearing them, I feel a lot more comfortable, confident and classy, and this is exactly what I expect in return of the price I pay. This company has other benefits, such as free shipping for any address in the United States. I also like their customer services as well as return policies and found them to be quite reasonable for the price of the shoes.

Final Conclusion These are chic and very beautiful shoes; they are comfortable to wear all day and were delivered on time.
