Sneex anyone?

Bookplate — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 16:25:07 GMT

According to an article in the WSJ, Sarah Blakely, the billionaire inventor of Spanx, is now promoting a new product, the Sneex - a cross between a stiletto and a sneaker. Did anyone have this on their products-I-would-like-to-see bingo card?

No.

People wear sneakers for comfort. Adding that stiletto heel negates that advantage. Sara is out in left field this time.

Surprisingly, they're not quite as ugly as I thought they'd be. Dare I say almost cute??

Whereas her undergarments had cross-generational appeal, this footwear style seems confined to a very specific niche customer base. The mainstream most likely won't migrate to this as the heels will be a no-go for many who wear sneakers for fashion. This doesn't mean the product won't make money, but I can't see Sneex becoming a household name in product lingo as Spanx did.

Not my style at all.... I think SG had something like these on a week or so ago, maybe when she had her TSV?? I specifically remember the host making a big deal out of it.

Bizarre idea.

If Sex and the City were still on I would not be surprised to see Sarah Jessica Parker wearing them.

Oh, perfect for getting in our 10,000 steps. Not!

@LindaSal I saw those shoes on SG that day, too. First thing I thought of when I saw this. I think hers may have been black and white, maybe? Anyway; I agree with you; not a fan.

So I went to the website to check out the price. Sit down before you look, it is a doozy.

I think that shoe is adorable! In my younger years when I had no foot and ankle problems, I would wear these!

Looks like bowling ball shoe on steroids.

I couldn't/wouldn't wear them but I do think they are really cute!

I like them a lot. The black & white spectator ones are really cute. Great with the on-trend trouser jeans or ponte pants, or longer knit dresses.

I remember years ago, a very expensive shoe brand came out with normal looking high heeled pumps, but with a full sneaker cushion insole. I cannot remember the brand, but it was in the early 2000's, and they were very expensive also.

With sneakers being so popular with dresses and more upscale outfits these days, these new Sneex are very clever.

It doesn't matter what clothing one is wearing or if hair/makeup is done.

All someone will see are the weird Sneex.

Very cute. If they were comfortable I’d love to have them!

I have read about these $500 U.S. shoes and I have to wonder why Sara wanted the stiletto heel to be so high as they do not look stable. I am guessing these Sneez have at least a 3.5 inch heel from looking at the photos of them.
