Cute shoe giveaway! Fabbys–comfortable shoes for women who love heels
Posted on 07. Jun, 2010 by Princess Lasertron in giveaway
So we are way overdue for a giveaway!
Fabbys is a really wonderful company that designed a comfortable pair of shoes that roll up and are easily portable in a clutch or purse. They sent me a pair of their cute flats and asked me to embellish them for a giveaway!
From the Fabbys website:
We love high heels. A lot. Stilettos, platforms, wedges, and boots. We heart them all. We wear them to work, to mingle, to play, to dance, and to travel. They make our legs look longer, our ankles look smaller, and our butts look tighter. They make us look fabulous.
Except when we are limping back to the subway station at the end of a long day at the office. Or when they are in our hand, and not on our dirty bare feet walking out of the club. Or when we are doing that weird, painfully lopsided, high-heeled speed walk across the airport, which is like 10 miles long from one end to the other (and why are our connecting flights ALWAYS at opposite terminals?). It is moments like these when we have fleeting thoughts of [gasp] sensible shoes.
The flats I’m giving away are size medium which fits sizes 8-9–however I’m a size 7 and I found them very comfortable. They’re also waterproof and vegan, with a non-slip sole. I have worn Fabbys shoes before at weddings, in airports, and while running laundry around the house. They’re comfy like slippers but cute enough to show off with a nice outfit. They come with a dust bag and a velvet pouch.
I embellished a pair of plain silver flats with flowers made with black vinyl and vintage rhinestone and pearl buttons. There’s only one pair like this in the world so be sure to leave a comment to win them for yourself (or a size 7-8 shoe-wearing friend!).
I also love that the Seattle-based company is women and minority-owned and I love the image they have created through their website–the logo is feminine and clean, the images are professional, and the tone of the copy is conversational and familiar. I know that I always over-analyze these things but to me it really matters in a company.
To win this pair of shoes just leave a comment below! I’ll pick a random winner on Friday.

What a great idea! Love these and they are so much prettier than sporting dirty bare feet on the dance floor.

They’re adorable. And I think it’s really important to have flowers on your shoes (clothes, hair, house) wherever possible. And your website is beautiful too.

Ohhhh! I love these. They’d be perfect for my short bike home from work. I hate biking with a bulky bag on my shoulders/back, so I could fit these tiny way-too-cute shoes in a little shoulder bag and be off! And I’m a size 8!

mmmm, i love my heels but by 9am they’re always under my desk while i run around the office barefoot, which i’m sure no one appreciates…
these could be the solution!

These are fabulous and definitely great for a wedding or major event which involves heels. We can’t be expected to wear them all night right? And so stylish with your embellishments!
Can Dansko clogs be fashionable? What do you think about them style-wise?

I have been looking for silver flats! Those are so pretty. I’m 5’10″ and my husband is 5’6″ so over the past few years I have gotten really good at picking out cute flats as opposed to heels. I think I really need these for my collection.

Silver is a great fancy-but-casual color! And with the black flowers, they could go with anything! Nice work.

This is a great idea. I agree, MUCH cuter than a pair of flipflops shoved in your purse! The flowers are gorgeous, as usual. Good job!

Omg. You don’t know hos badly I need these. I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect pair of flats to change into. I’ve even resorted to bringing a pair of flip flops in a plastic bag to
a party. Tacky!

These are the best idea ev-ar! Much more brilliant than trying to cram a pair of too-big flip flops into a too-tiny purse. Thank you for introducing us to this company! Perhaps a new etsy listing- DIY flower kits by Princess Lasertron for Fabby’s??
