Spanx founder Sara Blakely has entered the footwear category with the launch of Sneex, a sneaker inspired high heel that prioritizes comfort.
The debut collection includes three silhouettes: single strap, double strap and wide strap, offered in an array of colorways. Made in Spain, the sneaker/high heel hybrid features a mesh and nappa leather upper that sits on a three-inch heel.
Commenting about the shoe’s website, Blakely wrote, “Sneex are my love letter to every woman who has taken her shoes off at a party, who wears flats to work with heels in her bag, who thought her days of wearing heels were over. I hope Sneex give women that extra inch (or 3) to chase their dreams. After all, it’s hard to change the world when your feet hurt.”
The brand’s name is a play on Spanx, the shapewear company Blakely launched in 2000. She sold a majority stake in the company in 2021 to private equity giant Blackstone for $1.2B.
Priced from $395-$595, Sneex are now available to purchase on sneex.com
