They were the item I was looking forward to the most, but also, unfortunately, the one I was most disappointed with. The quality wasn’t great and you could see the glue where the shoes were stuck together, also the black plastic part was uneven and ‘lumpy’ as you can see from the pictures.
I also found this white material at the top of the shoe where it had been sewn badly.
The shoes fit me perfectly though and felt comfortable to wear. It’s a pity about the quality as they are lovely! I will probably still use these in blog photos when I want an alternative from my standard black ones I always use. They are okay if you are just looking for a cheap shoe but I would not recommend them if you are looking for quality items that will last you a long time.
The second item I got was this bag, listed at $9.73
This bag gets a much more positive review! I love the lining on the inside and I couldn’t see any flaws on the back that suggested poor quality. It came with a shoulder strap that you can remove as and when you please.
The last item I got were these sneakers, for £10.92
The quality of these were also a lot better than the first boots, thankfully! I am considering taking these to Florida with me in May because they are so cute. I just need to bed them in first!
Overall Thoughts.
If you are looking to get a lot of shoes that are cheap but not expecting much wear out of them, then go for it. They have some really lovely shoes and such bargain prices! If you are looking for a quality item that will last you a long time, I would not recommend them at all. The quality of the items is on par with Primark, I would say. I’ve had some fab items from Primark and some really bad quality ones. You get what you pay for, I guess!
What do you prefer – quality or quantity?
I tried the Soreen loaf that I got in my Degustabox the other day! I am already a massive fan of Soreen but I’ve never tried the pre-sliced version before, or toasting it! I must admit that I do prefer it without toasting and I had two slices untoasted this morning with butter and it was lovely. I find Soreen to be a marmite type affect on people – they either love it or hate it! Have you ever tried it? How did you find it?
You can find the rest of the items I got in my Degustabox here.
I love the booties!

i love it!
very nice!!!!
wow, thats disappointing, but i guess thats the thing you can expect good quality and leather shoes for a small price, price delivery charge is quite high for it being so slow
It is!
great haul!

nice hauls!! love that bag! 😀
disappointing but ok if they are more of a shoe you wear occasionally. I wouldn’t have noticed that glue though so hope you get some wear from them x
I’m not from UK so I can’t participate but I love so much your selection of shoes

Wow $45 for postage is a lot of money. I always allow a lot of time if i am ordering anything from Asia because it always takes ages and I always worry about the quality especially when the prices are low.
I do love the shoes, both of them but the sneakers has to be my favourite especially because of the colours.
I’ll be honest, i don’t always go for quality. If i’m in love with the design, i just go for it.xx

They are lovely!
I always prefer quality because I feel its a waste of money if I don’t get to use it for a long time repurchasing something constantly is really as waste..Thanks for the honest review 🙂

such a shame about the boots, they look lovely and i hope you get to wear them a lot despite the quality:-) and the bag is my favourite out of these! i’d say i prefer quality, but my financial situation prefers quantity for a low price, haha! xx
When it comes to shoes, I usually prefer quality, so I was disappointed to read your thoughts regarding the first booties, though they are very cool. The sneakers and the bag are very lovely, would go for them 🙂 Never tasted Soreen but curious!:) Happy Friday Corinne! xo
Shame about first pair of boots in quality, I need good quality shoes as I go through shoes fast really. They’re really cute as well, shame. But, the other things are lovely too & I’m happy they worked out well for you too!! Super nice. My husband eats Soreen!! I hope you have a great weened doll xx
You bought great items for a few pounds! I loved the bag. Kisses:)
The bag is super cute, I love it! Too bad the boots are not 100%, they look amazing!

Hello,

Sarah,

Hey those booties look really well made. I am not a heel person because of my left foot was injured and had surgery on. I however love a stacked heels and boots/booties. I am glad you love your purchases! They all look very practical and classic!
Those sneakers are so cute!! I love the color, of course! 🙂
Oh hey Corinne! It’s been a while since i’ve commented, although I doubt you’ve noticed with all the comments your getting nowadays! I noticed your give away has been getting really popular!!! Hope everything’s well!! Love you!!! xxxxxxxxx
I think that Lovelyshoes shipping is too very expensive. I had a coupon that I didn’t use because of it. As you say, you can get shoes of the same quality at Primark.

I’m in love with the second pair of shoes!
It’s a shame about the first pair, I think they’re still lovely though.
Shipping is ridiculous!

very pretty, I love Soreen, its very tasty!
Hi Corinne! sometimes I prefer quantity and other quality, but if it comes to shoes definitely will opt for a product with good quality and finish, I am currently starting to buy online and have had some disappointments about clothes sizes but still do not dare to buy shoes my fear is not of my size, so I prefer to buy at local stores.

Great post – I love your honesty with the products!
