Blakely, who founded Spanx shapewear in 2000, unveiled her latest innovation in August. The Sneex is a sneaker/heel hybrid that “blends the style of a traditional high heel with the performance and comfort of a sneaker,” according to a press release.
“We feed off the phrase that ‘beauty is pain’ … but I don’t believe it has to be,” Blakely said via post. “As a consumer, I have wanted to solve this problem for years.”
The patented design, available in three styles and ten colors at Sneex.com, features fine nappa leather and suede from Italy and Spain. The Sneex is handcrafted in Spain with prices ranging from $395 (for styles like The Icon) to $595 (The Tepper) in full sizes 5-11.
