Lita by Jeffrey Campbell

If you're in the modeling business or somewhat in it, you'd agree that shoes that give you height are a god-send. That's why Eyen and I both have a pair. I'll weigh out the pros and cons and hope that my review will help make your mind up in either buying a pair or not.


The Lita has a 5" inch heel and a 2" inch sole. The height of the hidden sole makes me feel like I'm wearing a 2" heel instead. Walking around in these for an hour or so the first time was just fine and dandy but then... after prolonged walking on the uneven and broken concrete of NYC, I started to feel discomfort. Discomfort not due to the fact that I am wearing 5"heels but discomfort that one experiences when wearing ill-fited shoes. I felt friction on the ball of my feet, and that contributed to an unpleasant walking experience. Not only that, the side of my pinkie toe started rubbing against the material and yes, indeed more discomfort!


I thought I'd never wear these boots again but since I paid almost $200 for them, I refused to give up, plus, I love that they give me great height! I decided to work with what I have so I bought Dr. Scholl's gel pads. They work... for the most part, the ball on each foot is now cushioned and I no longer experience pain. Somehow, I think I finally broke into them. I say, these boots overall are worth it! They are a showstopper, especially when worn with a pair of jeggings. Both Eyen and I have gotten a lot of compliments about the Lita's. They are available in a variety of colors!
