I was perusing online the other day for some sandals on Nordie’s and found not one but 3 pairs of shoes…eeks! I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw the color and sleek design. I have loved the famous Zara cap toes because of the dark luggage color and haven’t seen anything close to it. Even my Chanel cap toes (which I am afraid to wear) are very light in color and I wanted something exactly like this. See on Wendy here. I was afraid that the 5’s would be too big but good news for ladies with small size 5’s or 4.5’s…these run small! No heel gap- YAY! I was doing a dance in my kitchen when I got home from work while trying them on. The heel is 4″ which is comparable to my Louboutin simple 100’s. Glad it’s not any taller or I would fall over. The only negatives I could find was that the slim tapered heel is a bit too skinny for my taste. I like a classic heel – not too chunky and not too thin. The other downside is that the toe box is very narrow. Ladies with wider feet may have some discomfort. The silhouette of these remind me so much of my beloved Tory Burch Angela cap toe pumps.
Verdict: Definitely keeping and can’t wait to wear them
Ivanka Trump Brandyn Sandal – size 4.5
I was so excited when I found these and they came in a size 4.5! Thank you Ivanka Trump for not forgetting about ladies with a size 4, 4.5 and 5 foot. I have been looking for sandals that are this color, with a lower heel and strappy but not gladiator style for years. I have found nothing. Everything is either too loose, too strappy or the heel is ridic. The color “canello” online is a bit different than in person. It’s much more of a medium cognac color- very pretty. The leather is soft and very flexible- not stiff like most sandals. These run TTS (true to size) so order your normal shoe size. The 4.5’s fit me nicely but I am wondering if I should have ordered a 5 to compare. The heel measures 3 1/2″ but feels much lower and as far as I can tell from walking around in my house, it’s very comfortable. I like the adjustable ankle straps – great for ladies with small ankles. The price tag is a bit steep but since I have been looking for years and have no sandals and these come in my size, it’s worth it for me. If you prefer a wedge style sandal, these rustic tan ones are super cute and come in small sizes.
Verdict: Keeping
Me Too Patty Flat– size 4.5
Ever since I found my Tahari flats at Marshall’s, I am getting to love wearing flats. They are great for shopping and running errands and my feet are super happy. I realized that I had to get the low profile sock liners to help any pinching you get from ballet flats. I haven’t found ones that don’t show but the nude ones work just fine for now. These are my first pair of Me Too shoes and I really like them. They are reminiscent of the popular J.Crew Viv Bow Flats but half the price. I like that these are semi-elasticized and not completely flat. That helps keep my feet in. I realized that I can’t wear flats that have no ruching on the sides. These run TTS and seem to be really comfortable. I like that the toe is pointed but not too much. The modern bow is so cute! The leather is nice and soft and I am hoping they don’t pinch anywhere.
Verdict: Keeping
Have a great weekend everyone! I will update once I actually wear all of these and let you know how “comfortable” they really are. I wanted to get this post up before the small sizes run out.
Which pair are your favorites out of the three?

love the first and third pair!! your feet are soo small hehe!!
Great haul! I really like the cap toe pumps and the bow flats – the nude colors are perfect for warmer seasons 🙂
The Ivanka Trump ones for sure. They're the kind of shoe I'd wear ever single day in the summer, perfect, neutral, will match everything. Awesome that you got them in 4.5!

Isn't it so hard to find a 4.5? I also wear a 4.5 and sometimes a 5 depending on the the designer. I really can't choose a favorite. I love them all!!! 😉

I have been hunting for a "nude" pump with a contrasting toe cap. These are perfect!
I've been looking at those flats too…this might just convince me lol…they are so cute! Love your cap toe ones as well 🙂
I like the Ivanka Trump sandals. Do you have a matching belt in your wardrobe? I need to get brown sandals and matching belt but I have been putting it off for fear that I will buy shoes and not be able to find a similar belt.
I love Me Too flats!!
love the Louboutins…

Love pumps! my size is 4.5-5 too 🙂 I put your link in my blogroll.Regards
i really wanted the ivanka ones but for me, 3.5" is still on the higher end bc i have small feet, but can u do me a favor and really measure to see if it is indeed 3.5" heel?
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you Aubs! I finally had a free moment to re-meausure for you. It does measure 3.5" but what's weird is that it doesn't feel like 3.5" at all. It feels more like 3" to me and I wear heels everyday. They are comfortable and I wore them almost every night on vacay. Hope this helps!
Thanks Joshylola!
Woo hoo! I agree- they feel much more comfy than the J.Crew ones I have tried. Thanks Jenn!
Hi Kathleen! I don't have a belt that matches perfectly but anything close to the shade should work. I took one of my H&M belts from a dress and wear it with it and it seems to match nicely:)
Thanks. I found a really good deal on a similarly colored strappy sandal and bag at Marshalls the other weekend. Thanks for inspiring me!
I like the first two pairs best. They look wonderful on you!
Do you know where i can get a pair of cap toe shoes but with just 1.5 inch heels?
Talbots.com used to sell them years ago…
Hi Lily! Have you tried Nordstroms?
