today we're going to talk about one of
our go-to travel shoe brands called new
solo we came across this brand i want to
say about a few years ago and some of
the things that drew us to the brand
initially was the the design
the styles are really classy timeless
but then once we um actually started
wearing them we realized just how
comfortable they were and they were just
so perfect for traveling and it has to
be comfortable for me because i will not
wear any other shoes if they are not
comfortable so it definitely has to be
like a cute thing i mean the older i get
the more my feet become a priority when
i'm traveling um i used to be able to
wear heels and cute you know cute shoes
with heels can't do that i can't even do
kitten heels anymore
they have to be flat shoes and they have
to be comfortable otherwise my
sightseeing days are over
oh yeah
yeah another thing that drew me to this
brand was their color palette they have
really pretty neutral um tones so it's
basically colors that really match with
like anything you're wearing so if
you're someone that is trying to
minimize your um your packing
this is a great shoe brand to go to
because basically they're i want to say
most of their shoes or sandals that they
have match pretty much anything in your
wardrobe yeah i agree another reason why
we love this solo so much is because
they are huge
on being sustainable and they are a b
corp uh corporation we're sorry i need
to get the phone because uh we're not so
well versed in this but
uh solo is one of the world's top rated
certified b corporations and the number
one ranked remake brand so what that
means
b corps works to reduce inequality lower
poverty levels create more
sustainability for environment and build
stronger communities and then remake is
a non-profit with a mission to get women
in the clothing industry paid fairly uh
but they they're also involved with
other things too it's like climate and
um a couple of other things that are on
the website but
we think that's like really uh you know
we have high respects for them for doing
something like that yeah and they even
have on their website they're very
transparent about the wages they give to
their workers um making sure that
everyone makes a livable wage so yeah
they're really involved with the
community um and that's one thing that
you know we feel
like comfortable buying from a brand
that really you know values their
workers and trying to be sustainable
yeah so we're gonna go into some of the
shoes that we do have and also talk
about some of the shoes that we owned um
but we don't have with us right now uh
so it'll give you an overview of why we
like each one of their shoes all right
so these are one of the newest sandals
we got and they're called the go-to
platform sandals and they are perfect
for traveling and sightseeing because
they have
nice cushioning in the middle here
uh it's made with high quality leather
so it's you know it feels good on your
feet and you're on your ankles
it's also easy to slip on and it's a
zip closure so i just like velcro oh i'm
sorry it's a velcro nut sorry so it's a
velcro
and um it's easy to slip on like once i
get my the length i just i'm easily able
to just slip it on instead of
having to
undo the velcro but i mean it's easy to
undo it too
uh another thing is the traction yes the
traction really good traction so
if you know you're in like cobblestone
areas or like slippery areas this will
be really great um
it's also
one inch heel in height so if you want a
little bit of
yeah boost to your height then you got
that
and um
one thing i like about new solo too is
that they come in like these nice shoe
bags yes and i like to have these too
for traveling so then you could separate
them from like your clothes and other
things in your suitcase
yeah
so i got the black sandals and candy has
the exact same ones in a different color
this is called the bone color but um
i've already worn mine several times
that's why mine looks a little bit dirty
dirty
uh but what size did i get i forgot is
it 10
i think you got the 10 huh yeah the
sizes aren't written on here actually
interesting i got the eight i'm in
between sizes seven and a half and eight
and i want to say a lot of times they
run a little bit on the small side so i
always go a half a size up so these are
a size eight yeah same thing so i'm
usually a nine and a half as my real
shoe size but it's hard to find that
half size so i usually go a size up and
you definitely will want to go size up
on these or a half size up sorry since i
got a 10. next is the go-to eco knit
sneakers i almost wanted to say slippers
they kind of are like slippers they're
so comfy um these this is actually their
newest arrival a lot of their shoes for
the summer are sandals but they recently
came out with these which is really
awesome because chris and i actually
when we travel we do like to wear
sneakers a lot of the times and i wanted
to try something new and what i like
about this is that it's um you can wear
it without socks
it's very comfortable
nice and soft and
it does have good traction there i want
to say it's a nice sporty but also
on the elegant side as well so i'm going
to be wearing this when we go to uh
paris and london i'm going to be wearing
this with skirts and also jeans i think
it'll look cute with like dresses as
well like you know like those day
dresses another thing that's cool about
these shoes is that they're waterproof
and they're machine washable so you know
how white gets dirty pretty easily so
i'm glad that i can just stick these in
the washer and they'll probably come out
you know looking brand new again
um also i do want to say sizing on this
is a little bit off um like i said
earlier i'm in between a seven and a
half and eight so i went with the eight
but the eight was too small for me which
was really surprising um so i actually
went to eight and a half and that fit
perfect so this one i would recommend
going a full size up
another one of the sandals that we owned
was the uraci sandal and this sandal is
so cute it's the woven leather and it
matches any outfit
it's very comfortable it has cushioning
in the middle it's very stylish very
summery yeah summery vibe but also like
this chic boho kind of look too i also
like that it's a slip-on too so
i am so lazy when it comes to shoes so
it has to be a slip-on for me if it has
anything to do with like buckles or you
know just like hard to put on shoes i
will not get it so slip-ons are a must
for me and these are definitely slip-ons
and they were so great i mean it was
perfect for me another one that i got is
called the all day cross strap sandal
and i got this also in a bone color it's
just a color like i've just been really
into recently um because in my wardrobe
i've been buying a lot of
i want to say cream and white color
clothes so i've been trying to get shoes
that match them these are super
comfortable as well easy to slip on
this one has a low profile of heel so if
you're someone that doesn't want to add
any extra high and you really want to
stay closer to the ground this is a
great pair to have one of my very first
pairs of shoes that i got from nisola is
the emma dorsey oxford this design was
super simple but yet like really elegant
the quality of the leather is really
nice and i've actually gotten stopped a
couple of times while wearing it i'm
asking where i got the shoes
so yeah it definitely stands out it's
interesting that it's such a simple
design yet it really like elevates your
look
on the side of the shoe it kind of has
like a little bit of an opening which is
a kind of like a unique look to it
also on the inside it kind of has like
an elastic
so it kind of stretches a little bit to
really help make the um the footbed
comfortable for you i don't it's kind of
hard to explain but basically you know
when you buy shoes that are closed toed
in leather a lot of times the leather is
just stiff and it's hard to break into
these had
no break-in time which was really great
because that's one thing i worry about
with leather shoes is the break-in time
because i am not a fan of breaking into
shoes so that i really appreciate that i
didn't have to break into these and i
wear this a lot of times in the fall and
the winter and it pretty much goes with
all of my outfits um
i have them in black but they come you
know an array of colors so if you're
looking for a nice pair of oxfords this
is a great one to go to okay so i know
we said they are mainly a shoe company
but they do have other leather goods and
accessories
mainly bags and belts and i really
wanted to try out their convertible bag
this is the clara convertible crossbody
and what drew me to this was that
obviously the simplicity
and that would be great for traveling um
because it's convertible i can wear this
as a you know crossbody purse let me put
this on like this
and but what i what i really liked about
it is i can wear it as um
like a little fanny pack yeah that's
what i liked about it the most because
when she was showing me one of her
pictures of her wearing this like
where'd you get that
it looks so cute yeah so the way you um
so it is adjustable the length but
whenever i want to wear it as a fanny
pack i have to um
undo this and then put the shorter one
on depending on
the size of your waist but yeah so i'll
be wearing it like this when i travel
mostly like this that's rare that i wear
it as a crossbody but i probably will
wear as a crossbody sometimes
it's very lightweight
and it does have multiple compartments
like for your cards it's already got
like the card slots there there's one
little sleeve right here and then there
is a zipper in the front so yeah it's
got you know plenty of compartments oh
and also um
has a magnetic closure so it's easy to
you know open and close so yeah i'm
really excited to um start using this
purse it is leather it smells like
weather smells so good and this also
comes in different colors and i feel
like this color pretty much matches
everything and that's why i went with
this color so yeah so we have a lot of
different products from this solo
because we do
love their products and their shoes are
great they're comfortable they have
really cute accessories now too i mean i
really want that uh convertible purse i
mean i never wear purses or fanny packs
anymore but the fanny pack version or
the clutch version it matches your
outfit so that's the part that i like
about it yeah
