Eureka Moment: Yosi Samra

I used to own an "almost foldable" ballet flats that was ruined after constant walking during my Seoul, Korea trip.  I vouch to find another pair that's comfortable yet easy to put inside my bag especially when I go out for events.  

Given a choice, I would choose flats and sandals over high heels anytime of the day. Unfortunately, as a woman, there will always be those special events that needs me to dress up and I always have a spare sandals or flats inside my car.

Do I have to go all the way back to the parking lot every time I need to change for comfortable shoes?

Eureka Moment!

Thanks to Will and Charmaine of Monsters Centaur Production Inc. for introducing me to Yosi Samra!

I bet some of you have already chosen their favorite color at this point!  *evil laugh*


Tadah!  You're mine Navy Blue!


According to Yosi Samra ----
"Yosi Samra's years of experience within the footwear industry has allowed him to produce the highest quality ballet flats at the lowest price points.  The innovative split-sole structure is made of 1/8" durable rubber allowing the shoes to fold neatly yet also ensuring that they do not wear when worn.  The actual shoe are made from the best materials and are thick enough that you do not see the outlines of your feet. "
 

I am very "OC" when it comes to shoes or sandals and I would check on them closely and base on the stitching, thick patent leather and the elastic band that's snugly fit my feet minus the discomfort or pain.


A reminder why this got into my Eureka Moment post? It's foldable!  The Yosi Samra folds into a conveniently sized 4.5" x 3" package.  I can easily store this inside my bag without taking much of my bag space and getting my other stuff dirty!

Yay!  I can take this along with me all the time (just like my mini umbrella) for feet emergencies!


I'm obviously excited with this as it works on almost any outfit!  From dresses, skirts, leggings, jeans to shorts!

Php3,295 (approx $75.00)

 Classic Gold

  10. How is it walking on those for long periods of time? I'm considering buying a pair. Or is the Footzyrolls a good alternative? (since it's quite expensive) Thanks! :)

    1. i haven't tried Footzyrolls, but so far I've used this on Travels (and I walk a lot on travel) , so far so good, no blisters! But it is advised to try them before you buy, a tip: Purchase a size bigger than your regular size as these are garterized!
