Oh Meredith! You’ve come to my aid! My adored Banana Republic Donni’s in navy
pony hair had to pass on after my numerous resoling life extensions, I was at
such a loss. I had grown to depend on
those Donni’s for my go-to neutral not black, go with just about everything,
heels. They had this straight vamp top line that cut across my foot in the most flattering way. And the pointy toe made them just so sleek
and great for pencil skirts, skinny pants, leggings and cigarette pants. I wore them in so well, that they became too
worn in. And since these babies are
circa 2016-ish, it was going to be such a challenge to find them again.
Enter Meredith.
Meredith you came along with your
3.5” high heel and supple navy leather.
I was aghast. You even had an
extra plump cushion inside the upper for added comfort. After having a moment of silence for my
Donni’s, I was ready to give the Meredith’s a few laps around the office.
The verdict, a solid 9 out of
10. The leather was very supple and has
a perfect navy hue that does go well with just about anything. The straight toe box top line sits perfectly
where Donni did before, making my foot look very chic. The silhouette and shape are quite sleek and
do make me look more put together than the effort I made to get dressed. My only ding is the cushion. It's wonderful on the balls of my feet but the
added cushion adds space in the toe box making it a little snug. And truly, its only slightly snug. I didn’t have a line across my feet when I
took them off at the end of the day. It
was just snug. I’ve worn them several
times and I feel strongly the leather will stretch a bit over time and the
cushion will form itself to my foot.
Maybe I’ll share an update that rates it a 10 in a few more months’
time. 😄
