Getting My Hands on Those Tory Burch Peep Toes
So, I was on the hunt for some peep toe shoes. Needed something for warmer weather, you know, something a bit polished but not crazy formal. I kept seeing these Tory Burch ones around, the ones with that signature logo plaque right there on the toe. Looked pretty classic, felt like they could work with a few different outfits. I thought about it for a bit, because let’s be real, they aren’t exactly cheap. Finally decided, okay, let’s give them a try.
I went ahead and ordered a pair. Didn’t feel like going to the mall, so online it was. Waited for that box to show up. When it did, I opened it up. First impression? Yeah, they looked good. Solid construction, the leather seemed decent quality. Definitely had that ‘designer’ look, if you know what I mean.
First Steps and Wearing Them Out
Slipped them on. Fit seemed okay, maybe a tiny bit snug but figured they might give a little. The peep toe part felt alright, didn’t immediately feel like it was going to rub my toes raw, which is always a gamble with peep toes, right? The real test, though, is wearing them out in the wild.
Picked an occasion – I think it was just a dinner out with friends, nothing too strenuous. Put them on and headed out.
Okay, here’s the lowdown on actually wearing them:
- Look-wise? Thumbs up. They definitely elevated the outfit. Felt put-together.
- The heel height was manageable for me, not sky-high, so walking felt relatively stable initially.
- Got a compliment or two, which always feels nice, validates the purchase a little bit, you know?
But here’s the thing. After walking a bit and then sitting for dinner, maybe standing around chatting afterwards… my feet started to feel it. Especially the ball of my foot area. It wasn’t excruciating pain like some killer heels I’ve foolishly worn in the past, but it was definitely noticeable. That initial ‘okay’ feeling turned into ‘yep, these are definitely heels’. The peep toe part stayed mostly okay, thankfully, no major rubbing.
The Verdict After Some Time
I’ve worn them a handful more times since then, mostly for similar occasions – dinners, parties where I know I’ll be sitting a fair amount. They’ve held up pretty well in terms of appearance. Still look quite smart. The comfort level hasn’t really changed, though. They’re bearable for a few hours, but I wouldn’t want to spend an entire day walking around in them. No way.
So, the final word from my experience? They look great, the quality feels decent. They deliver on the style front. But comfort is just… okay. About what you’d expect for a heel of that style, maybe slightly better than cheaper options, but not revolutionary. If you want that Tory Burch look and you’re prepared for standard dress-shoe comfort levels (i.e., limited), then they might be for you. For me, they serve a purpose for specific, shorter events. They’re pretty, but they’re not magic comfort shoes, that’s for sure. Just gotta know what you’re signing up for.
