  • today, we're gonna talk about one of our go to travel shoe brands called the fellow, we came across this brand I want to say about a few years ago and some of the things that drew us to the brand initially was the design.

  • The styles are really classy timeless.

  • But then once we actually started wearing them, we realized just how comfortable they were and they were just so perfect for traveling and it has to be comfortable for me because I will not wear any other shoes if they're not comfortable.

  • So it definitely has to be like the older I get, the more my feet become a priority when I'm traveling.

  • I used to be able to wear heels and you know, cute shoes with heels can't do that.

  • I can't even do kitten heels anymore.

  • They have to be flat shoes and they have to be comfortable.

  • Otherwise my sightseeing days are over.

  • Yeah.

  • And another thing that drew me to this brand was the color palette.

  • They have really pretty neutral tones.

  • So it's basically colors that really match with anything you're wearing.

  • So if you're someone that is trying to minimize your packing, um, this is a great shoe brand because basically I want to say most of their shoes or sandals that they have match pretty much anything in your wardrobe.

  • Yeah.

  • Another reason why we live in a solo so much is because they are huge on being sustainable and they are a B corp corporation with, sorry, I need to get the phone because we're not so well versed in this.

  • But uh solo is one of the world's top Aerated certified B corporations and the number one ranked remake brand.

  • So what that means be corpse works to reduce inequality, lower poverty levels, create more sustainability for environment and build stronger communities and then remake is a non profit with a mission to get women in the clothing industry paid fairly.

  • But they are also involved with other things too.

  • It's like climate and a couple of other things that are on their website but we think that's like really uh you know, we have high respect for them for doing something like that.

  • Yeah and they even have on their website, they're very transparent about the wages they give to their workers um making sure everyone makes a livable wage.

  • So yeah, they're really involved with the community.

  • Um and that's one thing that you know, we feel like comfortable buying from a brand that really, you know, values their workers and trying to be sustainable.

  • Yeah.

  • So we're gonna go into some of the shoes that we do have and also talk about some of the shoes that we owned um but we don't have with us right now.

  • So it'll give you an overview of why we like each one of their shoes.

  • Alright.

  • So these are one of the newest sandals we got and they're called the go to platform sandals and they are perfect for traveling and sightseeing because they have nice cushioning in the middle here.

  • It's made with high quality leather.

  • So it's you know, it feels good on your feet and your on your ankles.

  • It's also easy to slip on and it's a zip closure.

  • So I just like, oh I'm sorry, it's a grown up zip, sorry, So it's a velcro and um it's easy to slip on like once I get my the length that I just, I'm easily able to just slip it on instead of having to undo the velcro.

  • But I mean it's easy to undo it to another thing is the traction.

  • Really good traction.

  • So if you know you're in like cobblestone areas like slippery areas, this would be really great.

  • Um It's also 1" heel in height so if you want a little bit of a boost to your height then you got that.

  • And um one thing I like about the solo too is that they come in like these nice shoe bags and I like to have these two for traveling so then you can separate them from like your clothes and other things in your suitcase.

  • Yeah, so I got the black sandals and Canada has the exact same ones and the different, I think this is called the bone color but I've already worn mine several times.

  • That's why mine looks a little bit dirty, dirty, but what size did I get?

  • Forgot the 10?

  • I think you got the 10, huh?

  • Yeah, the sizes aren't written on here.

  • Actually interesting.

  • I got the eight.

  • I'm in between sizes 7.5 and eight.

  • And I want to say a lot of times they run a little bit on the small side.

  • So I always go half a size up.

  • So these are a size eight.

  • Yeah, same thing.

  • So I'm usually a 9.5 is my real shoe size but it's hard to find that half size.

  • So I usually go a size up and you definitely will want to go a size up on these or half size up.

  • Sorry, since I got a 10 next is the go to Econ.

  • It sneakers.

  • I almost wanted to say slippers.

  • They kind of like slippers are so comfy.

  • Um This is actually their newest arrival.

  • A lot of their shoes for the summer are sandals but they recently came out with these which is really awesome because chris and I actually when we travel we do like to wear sneakers a lot of the times and I wanted to try something new and what I like about this is that it's um you can wear it without socks.

  • Um It's very comfortable, nice and soft and um does have good traction there.

  • I want to say it's a nice sporty but also on the elegant side as well.

  • So I'm gonna be wearing this when we go to paris and London.

  • I'm gonna be wearing this with skirts and also jeans.

  • I think it'll look cute with like dresses as well.

  • Like you know like those day dresses.

  • Another thing that's cool about these shoes is that they're waterproof and they're machine washable.

  • So you know how white gets dirty pretty easily.

  • So I'm glad that I can just stick these in the washer and they'll probably come out looking brand new again.

  • Um Also, I do want to say sizing on, this is a little bit off.

  • Um like I said earlier, I'm in between a 7.5 and eight.

  • So I went with the eight but the eight was too small for me which was really surprising.

  • Um so I actually went to 8.5 and that fit perfect.

  • So this one, I would recommend going a full size up.

  • Another one of the sandals that we own was the morrissey sandal and this sandal is so cute.

  • It's woven leather and it matches any outfit.

  • It's very comfortable.

  • It has cushioning in the middle.

  • It's very stylish.

  • Yeah, summery vibe.

  • But also like this chic boho kind of looked too.

  • I also like that, it's a slip on too.

  • So I am so lazy when it comes to shoes.

  • So it has to be a slip on for me if it has anything to do with like buckles or you know, just like hard to put on shoes.

  • I will not get it.

  • So slip ons are a must for me and these are definitely slip ons and they were so great.

  • I mean it was perfect for me.

  • Another one that I got is called the all day cross strap sandal.

  • And I got this also in a bone color.

  • It's just a color like I've just been really into recently because in my wardrobe, I've been buying a lot of, I wanna say cream and white color clothes.

  • So I've been trying to get shoes that match them.

  • These are super comfortable as well, easy to slip on.

  • Um this one has a low profile of hell.

  • So if you're someone that doesn't want to add any extra high and you really want to stay closer to the ground, this is a great pair to have one of my very first pairs of shoes that I got from the solo is the Emma Dorsey Oxford.

  • This design was super simple but yet like really elegant.

  • The quality of the leather is really nice and I've actually gotten stopped a couple of times while wearing it.

  • I'm asking where I got the shoes.

  • Um so it definitely stands out.

  • It's interesting that it's such a simple design yet it really like elevates your look on the side of the shoe.

  • It kind of has like a little bit of an opening, which is kind of like a unique look to it.

  • Um Also on the inside, it kind of has like an elastic, so it kind of stretches a little bit to really help make the foot bed comfortable for you.

  • I don't, it's kind of hard to explain but basically you know when you buy shoes that are closed toed and leather, a lot of times the leather is just stiff and it's hard to break into these had no break in time which was really great because it's one thing I worry about with leather shoes is the break in time because I am not a fan of breaking into shoes so that I really appreciate that.

  • I didn't have to break into these.

  • Um and I wear this a lot of times in the fall and the winter and it pretty much goes with all of my outfits.

  • Um I have them in black but they come you know an array of colors.

  • So if you're looking for a nice pair of Oxfords, this is a great one to go to.

  • Okay, so I know we said they are mainly issue company but they do have other leather goods and accessories, mainly bags and belts.

  • And I really wanted to try out their convertible bag.

  • This is the Clara convertible cross body.

  • And what drew me to this was that obviously the simplicity and that would be great for traveling because it's convertible, I can wear this as a cross body purse.

  • Let me put this on like this.

  • And but what I really liked about it is I can wear it as um like a little Fannie pack.

  • Yeah, that's what I liked about it the most, because when she was showing me one of her pictures of her wearing this.

  • Where'd you get that?

  • Yeah, so the way you, so it is adjustable to length, but whenever I want to wear it as a Fannie pack, I have to um undo this and then put the shorter one on, depending on the size of your waist.

  • But yeah, so I'll be wearing it like this when I travel mostly like this that's rare that I wear it as a cross body, but I probably will wear as a cross body sometimes.

  • Um it's very lightweight.

  • Um and it does have multiple compartments like for your cards, it's already got like the card slots there, there is one little sleeve right here and then there is a zipper in the front.

  • So yeah, it's got, you know, plenty of compartments.

  • Oh and also um has a magnetic closure, so it's easy to open and close.

  • So yeah, I'm really excited to start using this purses, leather smells so good.

  • And this also comes in different colors and I feel like this color pretty much matches everything and that's why I went with this color.

  • So yeah, so we have a lot of different products from this solo because we do love their products and their shoes are great.

  • They're comfortable.

  • They have really cute accessories now too.

  • I mean I really want that comfortable purse.

  • I mean I never wear purses are Fanning packs anymore, but the Fannie pack version or the clutch version, it matches your outfit, so that's the part that I like about it.

  • Yeah.
