Review: Unica Pointed Shoes

I’m fond of wearing flats that’s why I seldom buy shoes with heels. I had a few shoes with heels that I sometimes wear to work. But most of the time, my feet gets tired and I ended up wearing flats again at midday.

One time, while shopping for clothes, we passed by Unica (Unica Hija) store. I haven’t bought anything from this brand. But I found that they have nice and unique clothes with styles almost similar to Plains and Prints (as well as the price range). They were on sale that’s why I was able to pick a few tops. Then my eye caught this pointed shoes / slip ons with heels in nude color. When I tried it on, I easily fell in love with it. It fits perfectly on my feet. I was quite hesitant at buying it since first, I seldom wear heels, then secondly, it is quite expensive and not part of sale. But then, there’s this “calling” that made me buy the shoes. I thought of various justifications for me to buy it. I can wear it not only at work and formal occasions, but also I can wear it on casual days. Besides, its a slip on which is easier to wear and wouldn’t make my heel dark in case I get blisters. And so I bought it. Luckily, the sales lady said that it was sale at 10% off. Not bad. The price was Php 1,399.75 so less 10% that’s Php 1,259.78.

The Unica pointed shoes I bought is in Nude color (not sure if they have other colors). The heels was about half inch. The material was like a suede leather, not sure what it is called but it was soft to touch. It has a metallic looking strap in gold tone but made of plastic. The pointed part has perforated floral style which makes it versatile to wear on formal or casual days.

It was yesterday when I first wore this Unica pointed shoes. I thought I might get blisters on my small toes as the style is pointed. And most of the time, for first time wearer of shoes, you have to “break it in”. Luckily, I didn’t get any blisters and the pointed style isn’t painful at all. I walked, run, wearing this shoes for more than eight hours in the office. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort wearing this shoes! It was so comfy! I think the soft suede leather like material made the difference. Since it was soft, it is not painful. Also, I thought the metallic like strap will scratch my feet but it did not. It isn’t bothersome at all. And best of all, my feet didn’t get tired even after wearing it for long hours! That was really a surprise! I am so happy that I bought this. So worth it! Too happy that I even wrote a review on it and even posted it on my youtube channel! I seldom post reviews about shoes, bags or clothes. But not this time. I just wanted to share how happy and satisfied I am with my purchase even if it is quite expensive (for me).  I’m even more proud that this comfortable shoes is proudly Philippine made!
