About a week ago, I fulfilled the "leopard gap" in my closet and found a pair of leopard pumps and flats at Target, both at very reasonable prices. I haven't worn the flats yet, but I did wear the pumps and I wanted to share my experience! :)
Merona for Target Leopard Print Pumps, sz 8
I was very surprised to see that these pumps are actually real leather and resemble calf hair pumps (or are these real calf hair pumps too?). The bottom has a rubber sole and the inside is decently padded (many Merona shoes offer that).
Heel height is about 3 inches, which is quite reasonable for a good amount of wear throughout the day. I wore these for about 5 hours and didn't have much of an issue with them. I am used to all-leather pumps, however, so these didn't live up to my "high quality" expectations. But, what can you expect from inexpensive shoes?
These pumps definitely run a little wider than Ann Taylor Perfect Pumps (which I adore). I've noticed that a lot of Target's pumps are wider than usual, and don't offer any "toe cleavage" which is often see on more expensive shoes. Overall, I think it's a great deal and a great piece for the price. I paid full price for these-- $29.99.
If you're on the lookout for leopard pumps (which are GREAT for Fall!), definitely try these out! The price is right (especially for authentic leather) and the quality is pretty decent as well.
Even though leopard is such an interesting print, I'm finding that it matches well with different outfits. I'm excited to experiment with them this Fall and look forward to wearing them with black tights in the Winter!
What would you wear leopard pumps with?
Wow, I had no idea these were real leather! Great deal, they're really cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI love my leopard print flats from Target! And man, if I had any excuse to wear those pumps on a regular basis, they would be in my closet right now! Alas, I should really be investing in winter boots instead, but they're not nearly as fun. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh, winter boot shopping can still be fun. :)
DeleteCongrats! Can't wait to see them on your future posts. =) It matches with everything and anything...except for maybe other animal prints? That's my own rule. lol
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the only animal print piece I own, so I should be good! LOL! :)
DeleteDid you happen to see these at Target? I was gonna buy them on the same day that she bought hers, but decided against it because I've already spent more than I planned for this month. But I really regret it now because leopard is so perfect for transitioning from the summer to the fall! Even for the fall actually.
ReplyDeleteI really like these too; the heel is lower so it must be more comfortable and the look is just as beautiful as the killer heels in Kendi's post.

Oh, those pumps should still be available at Target! I swear I just saw them in store and online still. :) One more pair of shoes can't hurt, right? ;)
DeleteAnd I did see those on Kendi the SAME day I bought mine. She can rock those pumps ten times better than I ever could!
wow these are adorable! i need to add some leopard to my closet, too!
ReplyDeleteI wear my leopard print pumps with just about everything, but especicially like them peeking out from under a pair of black pants.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that! :)
Deletethanks for the review! i've been looking for a pair, too. i'm super picky about the print tho, and they have to be comfy. probably wont happen :/ i'm sure youll get some good wear out of these!
ReplyDeleteI have these shoes as well and I LOVE them...such a great deal!
