Hi, I'm Sarah. For me, there's nothing better than the feeling of finding that perfect pair of shoes—the ones that fit just right, feel comfortable, and are truly "you." I'm sure you've been there, just like me: you get excited about a pair of shoes online, only to feel disappointed when they arrive. That’s exactly why I see my job as a mission: to experience everything first, for you. I'll take them everywhere and put them through their paces in all conditions to share the real story: Are they as comfortable as advertised? Are they as durable as people say? And most importantly, do they actually bring you joy when you wear them? Ultimately, my goal is simply to share what I’ve experienced firsthand, combine it with what other reviewers are saying, and give you the most honest picture possible. This way, you can decide for yourself if the shoes you're considering are truly worth it. I hope my findings help you on your journey!

Girl, let me tell you about my journey with these shoes! About two months ago, during my usual weekend errands run, I was complaining to my workout buddy about how my regular athletic shoes were making my feet feel trapped and causing some serious discomfort during our HIIT classes.
