Wise Sandals by An-Roz, $104.99
Three women – a mother and two daughters who love quality shoes and colorful fabrics with intricate artistic work started An-Roz – an online boutique offering shoes handmade in Pakistan.
Based in Buffalo, New York, their boutique’s selection is a blend of eastern and western traditions - most are sandals with a handful of pumps. A few exhibit classic styles while most are bejeweled, party sandals in bright, black, or metallic colors. They remind me of Arabian Nights, of women fully decked out in jewels from head to toe.
We received the ‘Wise Sandals’ which retails for $104.99. It is a slip-on made with brown fabric, with a 3 ½” short-stacked heel and a braided toe strap adorned with clear rhinestones. The sandals came packaged with a signature silky purple dust cover.
Look-wise, the sandal is fabulously sexy. It’s perfect for the summer months, a great way to show off some legs and exquisitely pedicured toenails.
Comfort-wise, I found the strap to be a bit loose on me. I normally wear medium-width shoes. I adhered padding onto the strap and that fixed the looseness and also made sure that the strap didn’t rub on my toes.
The workmanship is fair with regards to the cosmetic factors such as glue marks and such, but the quality seems to be good in that everything has stayed intact – not a rhinestone out of place as of this writing. Speaking of which, the rhinestone work is beautiful - flashy but not gaudy. It has an elegance to it especially when worn at night - it's a head turner, the style elongates the legs and the braided straps show off gorgeously-pedicured toes.
Back to the fabulously-sexy look of this sandal, it is quite gorgeous when paired with a mini, bubble hem dress (got to show off those tanned legs) such as this tribal print puff sleeve dress by ABS. Another one to try is with a longer-length, halter type dress (showing off tanned shoulders this time) such as this twist neck print dress by Maggy London.
If you’ve been hankering to show off the toned summer bod you’ve been working so hard for, a sexy pair of sandals is an absolute essential to your skimpy summer wardrobe. Check out what An-Roz has to offer, you may just find something you like!
