If you know me at all, you’ll know that I love white sneakers. Sure I own some other colored kicks, but I somehow always end up finishing off an outfit with some kind of icy-whites on the feet. Another fun fact is that I am way overly particular with shoe design/shape. I gravitate towards a slimmer profile, I hate really chunky shoes or anything too loud. Next, the shoe has to have a good toe shape. Nothing turns me off more than a shoe that has a toe shape to round or square. Even if the fit and material quality are top-notch, if it has an ugly toe shape, i’m out. Lastly, if the shoe ticks off all boxes from silhouette to fit i’m looking into materials and make. If you haven’t guessed by now, Oliver Cabell is a win in all of these. I have been wearing the beautiful Court | White sneakers for a couple of months now and I have no complaints. The ethically sourced Italian leather was what drew me in at first. Handmade for everyday wear, these have been my go-to’s. The sole is just enough slim but highly cushioning, and don’t get me started on the crisp gold lettering on the tongue, heel, and sole-insert. I have found that this shoe elevates any outfit of any season.
There is something unique about Oliver Cabell being an independent shoe brand. As mentioned above, they don’t take advantage with their mark-ups and if your shopping online, look to the side of a product and find the brand being transparent with their detailed materials used and best part, their make costs. they breakdown why the shoe costs what it does. Don’t end this year or go into 2021 dropping unnecessary amounts of money on “luxury” footwear. Instead, properly treat your self and find out why you can find me laced up in OC.
