Public Service Announcement: Jessica Simpson's shoes are a waste of money.

  I have a bone to pick with Jessica Simpson.  Her shoes are complete junk!  I have had two pairs of JS shoes, and they've both come apart ridiculously fast. 

The first pair I had was a patent leather peep-toe platform sling-back in black.  The patent leather was scrapping of all over the shoe.  It was terrible.  Pretty much half the shoe came off, and I had to color it in with Sharpie.  Then I got a very similar pair of Steve Madden shoes, and the patent leather peeling off was never an issue.  Hmm. Sounds fishy!

So after that first incident, I vowed never to buy JS shoes again.  But then I saw a really cute pair that I liked/needed.  (I will give Jess that much- her shoes are good looking!)  I gave in and bought them.  I figured they were safe since they weren't patent leather.

Well, I have had the shoes for about three weeks now, and they are complete shit.    After ONE week, the shoe material started to fade and rub off.  Now on top of that, the stuff snagged and tore off two spots in the heel.  The inside and the bottom of the shoes are totally worn off.  I mean, I do walk around downtown a lot, but this is asinine.  I have other shoes that manage to hold up despite my grueling foot transportation routine.  It looks like I've had these zapatos for YEARS.

 

(This picture is just showing SOME of the wear around the top of the heel.)

I feel it is my duty to share this information with the public so that I can help other people avoid making the poor decision to buy Jessica Simpson shoes.  Buying Simpson's shoes is essentially equivalent to throwing your money in the disposal.  They may LOOK good, but they are VERY poorly made.  She lures you in with trendy, comfy styles, and just when you've worn them to the point where they can no longer be returned, they come to pieces!  RUBBISH! And moreover, her shoes are NOT that inexpensive.  I mean, they're generally around $60-$100.  For that much, I would prefer my shoe to at least last a month.  I've bought better quality pumps from Target.

So, I am not going to buy any more Jessica Simpson shoes...no matter how intensely I'm being drawn to them.  Too bad her singing career is going down the toilet.  This may be all she has to fall back on.  I really think she has some good designs, and the shoes could be a great thing for her...if she would just start making them worth the money people spend on them.  I might write her people a letter.  I'll update you if I do.

i have been looking fo some sexy knee boots for a while... i wanted leather that will last the test of time and am willing to pay for it. i fell in love with a tabbaco colored leather knee high jessica simpson boot, it was comfortable enough and versatile, dress them up or down, already had pictured us making memories together. i finally decided that i would get them, at just under $200, but when the store brought out the other boot and i put it on... they didn't match up well. they were the YANA boots. so they are wrinkled up a little in a fasionable way. but one was very wrinkeld and one had like 4 wrinkles... then i started inspecting the leather and upon inspection noticed where the leather was combined together, some of the edges were lifting up. and the dye colors didn't quite match up and and it wasn't part of the design.
needless to say i didn't buy them... though i have been thinking of them every day i get dressed this winter and throw on my uggs :( or a pair of pumps. if you are going to make a gorgeous shoe, for people to wear, maybe you should put some thought into the production! i'd like my shoes to be a staple in my wardrobe, while my clothing may change, there are always a few classic things that shouldn't fall out of style, leather boots, certain classic pumps, little black/red dress, leather jacket and P-coat
