A year ago, I was introduced to a line of shoes by my fashionista and model-in-training friend Mayzette. The shoe brand was Suelas. At that time, the only store which sold them was What a Girl Wants in Ayala Center Cebu. I had checked them out a couple of times but was pretty hesitant in actually getting a pair. Well, I was never one for shoes or clothes or any of that stuff. But alas, the time came when the situation has called for me to buy a new pair of shoes.
I was told about its material, how comfy it is, and how it is foldable! I checked for a couple of reviews online, and most were good stuff. So when it was announced that Suelas would be opening a branch in Cebu last December, I immediately dragged myself to The Maze (Ayala Center Cebu) to get a pair.
It took me quite some time to choose. Initially, I had wanted the Brillo, but then again it did not make sense to me because I never dressed edgy and I never went any place else other than the office, JY Square, church, around IT Park, and home. My partner suggested I go for the gumental Llanura with chain since it was more of the "everyday wear" kind. I wear a size 7.5, and it was the last pair they had. My partner said that it was meant for me.

What I like about Suelas:
- very comfortable
- foldable
- affordable (the Llanura I got were for only Php899)
- comes with a cute bag (which is made by Gawad Kalinga---so you sort of become a charitable person when you buy a pair!)
- the chain is multipurpose (up to you what you do with it! :p)
- great for everyday use
What I don't like about Suelas:
- short life span (I still use mine but it's in critical condition, LOL)
- difficult to find
- not much stocks and sizes available
The thing with Suelas is that they are mainly an online company. They started that way and have physical booths or boutiques in only a few locations. Although I do believe that they are working on putting up more stores in the next couple of months. But the Suelas girls are really nice and very accommodating (two thumbs up for those pretty ladies), so you can just email them and be sure to get a response within 24 to 48 hours. I just ordered a pair of Correa (tan) online, and I almost cannot wait for it to arrive!
