The founder of Spanx is launching high-heeled sneakers called Sneex! Be warned, the price for the shoes are higher than the heel!

Spanx made a name for itself in shapewear clothing that will make you look a little slimmer in the belly, thighs, and legs. Now, they’re coming out with high-heeled sneakers called Sneex. Would you rock a pair of these unique shoes?

Spanx Founder Creates New High-Heeled Sneakers Called ‘Sneex’

First, I have to give credit for the name. Sneex is a pretty cool name, especially coming from Spanx. They kept it consistent with the use of the letter “X” and I think it’s a hip name. However, you should not base your fashion choices off of my recommendations nor should you based on the name of the product. That wouldn’t be a wise purchasing decision.

Sarah Blakely is the founder of the famous Spanx and now she’s got a new challenge she’s trying to tackle–making a comfortable high-heeled shoe. Personally, I am not familiar with wearing high-heeled shoes but I can tell they can’t be comfortable just by looking at them. Those who wear the uncomfortable shoes like stilettos say they sacrifice comfort for a sexy look. However, should you really need to sacrifice comfort? It seems like a pretty big thing! Surely, there’s a way to have a high-heeled shoe that’s both attractive and comfortable. Blakely says there is (and to stop calling her “Shirley.” Sorry, couldn’t let that go by without saying it).

According to Axios, the entrepreneur will be launching Sneex which is described as a luxury hybrid stiletto and “hy-heel sneaker.” This isn’t a new idea, either. Blakely has reportedly had the idea for a long time and even shared the idea with 60 Minutes Australia back in 2013. Now, more than 10 years later they are finally coming to market. According to Axios, the shoes are made in Spain and will come in a variety of styles and colors. Prices reportedly start near the $395 mark for The Icon and can go as high as $595 for The Tepper, per Axios.

Blakely says on the Sneex website, “Sneex are my love letter to every woman who ahs taken her shoes off at a party, who wears flats to work with heels in her bag, who thought her days of wearing heels were over.” I think this could be an incredibly popular and successful product. Who wouldn’t want a shoe like that? It sounds like it could greatly improve the life of millions of people! See a video she shared to her Instagram giving a little sneak peek below.

5 Of The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

Sometimes, fashion just doesn’t make sense. I don’t choose what’s popular, I just have to go along with it. These are 5 of the most questionable fashion trends of 2023.

We were introduced to some strange fashion trends in 2023. Some other fashion trends from the past also made a comeback this year.

The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

I am not a fashionable person. Love me some sweatpants and hoodies. However, if these items are what’s in style, then I think I’m perfectly find not being fashionable.

Some strange clothing items became popular in 2023 for a number of different reasons. You can blame TikTok, you can blame Taylor Swift, you can even blame nostalgia. Again, just don’t blame me.

I’ve gone through some photos and videos and have identified 5 questionable fashion trends from 2023. To me, these stood out as the strangest. However, there were much more popular trends that didn’t make the list. It’s hard when you stick to only five!

Some of the popular trends that didn’t make the list this year include Tabi shoes, Y2K, ballet flats, jean maxi skirts, and more, according to Huffpost. Tabi shoes were very polarizing in 2023. They’re a split-toed shoe inspired by traditional Japanese work shoes from the 15th century.

It seems like Y2K is popular every year, and this year was no exception. We saw cargo pants, metallic colors, oversized shades, and platform shoes make a big comeback in 2023.

Also, ballet flats were flat out everywhere in 2023. There were tons of options and choices available to buy. You could get them bedazzled, with a bow, silk, suede, corduroy, anything you could possibly want! Seems like they could also pair well with most outfits. It’s like the shoe equivalent of the little black dress.

Well, those items didn’t make the list of the 5 most questionable fashion trends of 2023. Here’s what did make the list.

• No-Pants Trend

  Going without pants was big in 2023. Sort of reminds me of the trend in the 90s that was pointed out in Seinfeld where women were going without a shirt, only wearing their bra. I prefer to go out with my pants on.

• Opera Gloves

  Opera gloves were a major fashion choice for celebrities on the red carpet this year. Thankfully, it’s just a red carpet thing and people didn’t start wearing long opera gloves to work. That would be a strange choice. However, for a formal event they look pretty good. Something sleek and sexy about them. Or is that just me?

• Micro Bags

  You probably saw a few micro bags this year. Perhaps you even own one. I’m not judging. Everything is getting smaller, and that includes purses, evidently. The days of giant bags are behind us…until they come creeping back.

• Fringe

  Thanks to celebrities like Harry Styles, fringe was huge this year. You had the funky futuristic fringe and the traditional western fringe in fashion. I don’t think I could pull it off, but it would be fun to have those dangling sleeves.

• Friendship Bracelets

  Friendship bracelets were massive in 2023, and all fingers go towards Taylor Swift for that one. People bought them by the dozen for her concerts and movie. Even I have one. What am I doing??
