Footwear for spring: Butterfly Twists Jade Dalmation Slip On

All winter I've been living in socks and ankle boots and I feel like it's time for my ankles to be free! As the weather is warming up I finally think it's time to cast the boots aside and get into some new spring appropriate footwear.

In 2012 (omg!) I was introduced to Butterfly Twists footwear and in particular its foldable ballet pumps. These ballet pumps lasted so long and I wore them so often so when I was recently contacted by the brand and asked if I'd like to try a pair of shoes from its SS16 range, I just had to see what was on offer. I went for a pair of Jade Grey Dalmation skater style slip ons as I was looking for something a bit more spring appropriate but something that wouldn't leave me with cold feet! These are perfect and I love the grey brushed fur and black dalmation pattern!

I went for the grey version of these as I felt like the leopard and zebra print versions were a little OTT and not very me, plus grey goes with most things so a lot more practical. £60 is definitely more than I would spend on a pair of skater shoes if I'm honest. I probably wouldn't spend more than £30 but as I've been wearing these more and more I am seeing the worth of these and I know how long Butterfly Twists' shoes last too so these could be a real investment piece.

Butterfly Twists are known for their foldable pumps, which make them super easy to pack and travel with and they're super convenient if you need to pop them in your bag ready for a night out. These skater shoes are also foldable and come with their own handy little bag so if you do need to pack them, you can make sure they're kept nice and clean. As these are foldable they do ruche up in the middle, effectively pulling the shoes up at the back so on the first couple of wears these did rub quite a bit on the back of my heel. As the shoes stretched the rubbing stopped and they're actually really comfortable. The insides are pretty padded and there is a cute cushion inside on the heel part for extra comfort.

I'm pretty much a jeans and tee/jumper kind of girl so these look really nice with a pair of jeans, whatever colour they are. They're super comfy for wearing all day long and make a perfect spring shoe!

Have you tried anything from Butterfly Twists' new SS16 range? Let me know in the comments.

Butterfly Twists Foldable Ballet Pumps

Butterfly Twists Elizabeth IV Black Ballet Pumps - £30*

I was recently contacted by ButterflyTwists.com and asked if I would like to review a pair of their foldable shoes.

Obviously I said yes and chose to receive the Elizabeth IV ballerina flats in black.

I chose this pair as they're really just a simple pair of black flats with some great studded detailing on the toes. They arrived really quickly and came in a cute box with a little drawstring bag too.

It was quite strange seeing a pair of shoes folded up into a box and I thought that when I put them on, they'd kind of be uncomfortable and pull on my feet a bit, but they are probably the comfiest pair of shoes I've ever worn.

I was also given a pair of the cushion socks, which are brilliant, if like me you find your feet get a bit sweaty in flats without socks. These are just like the skin coloured ones you can get everywhere but these ones are actually designed to be the same shape of the shoe and you can't actually see them at all once the shoes are on. Perfect!

I would definitely pay the £30 price tag for these. They're such a good idea for people that wear heels on a night out as well. You can just tuck these into your bag and whip them out on your way home, I know I could have done with these in University when we used to walk home eating our pizzas! Heels always kill me.
