How beautiful are the Trixie heels from J.Crew? I normally don't wear heels, let alone 3 1/2" heels, but I can see myself making an exception for these! ;)

Luckily for us, two members of the blog shared with us their review of the Trixie heels. :)

Audrey (in this post) shared the following review:

"...I have the Trixie heels in "fog white dot"-- the gray one with the white dots and the pink/gray bow-- and I always get compliments on them. I felt like they fit true to size and you can even size up 1/2 if you have a wider foot, like I did-- also partly because they were the only ones left in the store. I don't usually wear high heels and the 3.5 inches is a bit hard for me for everyday wear; I'm going to end up putting in insoles because I like the extra cushioning and I feel like J.Crew shoes-- especially the flats!-- lack that support. The color is less silver than gray, but the material-- silk-- is really beautiful although it contributes to my concern about these shoes being more than "special occasion" shoes. I'm eyeing the "warm ivory" pair, maybe when they're on sale, or the Juliet midheels in either driftwood or blanched almond.

...Yes, the height and the material of this shoe aren't really encouraging of 8-5 wear. I didn't think the toebox was tight-- perhaps that's because of the 1/2 size-up?-- but there is a bit of cleavage between the big toe and the second. Since I sliced up my favorite pair of leather heels on a gravelly driveway during a wedding, I've learned to put heel tips on my shoes."

Roxy (in the same post) shared the following review:

"I now own the Trixie heels in warm ivory and black ... Audrey's review is well-said.

Here is my Trixie shoes mini-review: I fell in love with the warm ivory Trixie shoes as soon as I saw them in the catalog. By some stroke of luck the 5th Ave store in NYC got a whole bunch by mistake and I was able to try them on in person. I usually find that J. Crew shoes pinch my toes but the Trixie shoes do not. In fact they are pretty comfortable. If you want extra arch support I agree with Audrey's insole recommendation. I tried on both a 9 and a 9 1/2 and found they run true to size (I wear a size 9). The heel is solid and offers good support while walking.

My pair has been worn to work twice and I had no issues wearing them all day, including two 5-block walks to the subway. The bow on the warm ivory pair is closest to bright saffron while the bow on the black pair is a bronze color that I've not seen in any other pieces. The shoe material is matte and can be cleaned. The light material on the warm ivory will absorb dirt. Overall they are very nice shoes sure to draw compliments. I hope this helps. =) "

"Thanks!" to both Audrey and Roxy for sharing their great reviews with us! :)

What are your thoughts of the Trixie Heels (do you like/dislike the style, design, height)? Are you considering or already have purchased these shoes?
