Okay, so I finally got my hands on these Soda booties and here's the real tea ☕️.

First off, they look AMAZING. The chunky heel gives me instant height without looking like I'm trying too hard. Matte black goes with literally everything—jeans, dresses, even my weird patterned skirts.

BUT (and this is a big but), that heel height is no joke. The platform helps a bit, but after 4 hours at brunch, my toes were staging a rebellion. If you’re sensitive to heels, maybe keep these for shorter outings.

Material-wise? Don’t expect luxury suede—it’s more like a sturdy matte fabric. Surprise bonus: they survived a sudden downpour (though walking felt like ice skating 😅).

Sizing tip: Runs true-to-size if you’re narrow-footed. Wide-footed pals? Size up 0.5. My friend learned this the hard way when her pinky toe started plotting escape routes.

Final verdict: 8/10 for style, 6/10 for all-day comfort. Perfect for Instagram pics and ~casually~ towering over your ex.
