Today I'm reviewing the shoes which seem to be all the craze at the moment, the 'Martina T Bar Geek' shoes from 'Topshop'! I've seen so many people wearing these recently, and I decided, a few weeks ago to buy myself a pair!
The shoes themselves are £30 and can be bought in 3 colours - white, black, and coral. Personally, I think I like the black the best, but since only white was in stock when I bought them, I decided I was too impatient to wait for black to be in stock! The sizes are pretty good, as I have quite big feet, but managed to get my size!
I'd say the sizing comes quite big. I'm a size 9, but the size 9s were like boats on my feet so I tried a size 8. The size 8 is still a little too big, but a size 7 would be too small. So I definitely would recommend buying these in store instead of online, so you can see which size is best for you.
Now, I know you may be thinking, £30 is a lot of money for a pair of shoes. But what else would you expect from Topshop! Me and my mom were definitely very unsure whether they would be worth the money, but decided to take the plunge and see. After wearing the shoes for at least 3-4 weeks, I can definitely say, are they worth the money? YES, 100%!
When I first bought the shoes and tried wearing them, they were very uncomfortable on the backs of my heels, which caused me to think I may have made a mistake buying them as I couldn't walk in them. But instead of taking them back, I bought some gel heel cushions from Asda for about £3 and stuck one in the heel of each shoe, and since that, I've had no trouble at all!
After wearing them over and over again for a few weeks, I have realised a slight bit of wear showing. Nothing major, but the white is peeling slightly, and the dots on the toes are slowly coming off or at least becoming easy to pick off. I also found the buckle quite tight to begin with, but with a lot of wear it has become a lot softer and looser, which you can decide for yourself whether that's a good or bad thing!
Overall, I think the Martina T Bar Geek Shoes are definitely a brilliant buy. If you can look past the cost of them, they're a lovely pair of leather shoes, which go with any outfit you could think of. I've worn them with many dresses, and sometimes with just tops and leggings. I also think they go lovely with a pair of frilly socks, although I wear them with no socks.
So, what do you think? Tell me what you think in the comments below, whether you like them or not, and if you would sacrifice £30 to buy some!
