When it comes to footwear, I have always been a practical person. Comfort has always been my top priority, which is why I have never been a fan of heels. However, there are times when an outfit just calls for a pair of heels, and I have to reluctantly oblige. But let me tell you, I always make sure to have a backup pair of comfortable flats with me, especially when attending weddings. So when I got the opportunity to try out a pair of heels from Elizée, an Italian brand known for its luxurious hand-crafted shoes with a focus on comfort technology, I was intrigued. I chose the Elizée Karlie Sandals ($600), a delicate and strappy mid-heel option in a beautiful caramel color, and I was hopeful for the best.
What I Like About The Elizée Karlie Sandals
I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant about the shorter heel and caged style of the Elizée Karlie Sandals. I was afraid they might look too matronly on me. But the moment I slipped them on, I was pleasantly surprised by how sexy they looked. The caramel color perfectly complements my tanned summer feet, and the caged, glossy leather straps add just the right amount of adornment. The pointed, rounded toes also help to elongate my legs, making them look even more flattering. These sandals are not just for wedding season, I found myself envisioning new outfits just so I could wear them more often.
Aside from their aesthetics, there is a noticeable difference between your standard department store heels and a handcrafted, luxury version like the Elizée Karlie Sandals. It may seem obvious, but the difference is truly felt when you actually walk in them. These shoes are made with a triple-layer insole, providing pressure point support, shock absorbency, and stability, despite the skinny heel. I no longer feel conscious about having a teetering, slower gait, and I don’t experience any discomfort in the balls of my feet even after wearing them for hours. This is a huge win for me.

What’s Worth Noting About The Elizée Karlie Sandals
At $600, these shoes are definitely on the pricier side. If you’re not used to spending this much on shoes, it might be worth considering selecting a style that can fill a gap or need in your wardrobe. For me, that was a neutral-colored, heeled sandal that I could wear to formal events where I would be standing or dancing for hours. Opting for a classic, mid-heel option also adds more versatility compared to a bolder style with a higher heel. These sandals look stunning with dresses and skirts, but they also look incredibly chic with trouser shorts, cropped pants, and even my go-to Everlane barrel jeans.
