I wasn't going to show you these until I decorated the heel, but seeing as I shared the Paint Your Own Heels collection from 2021, I figured I may as well show the originals. These launched last March, before the unicorns (which I can't show you because they are half done, but I've neglected them for months). The collection in 2021 also included a bunny heel (Paint A Bunny), which I felt was different enough to justify owning both (and I have different ideas for the heels). Paint A Flopsy are mainly yellow and pinkish sequins, as you'll see from my close-up pics at the bottom of this post, the sequins can really change colour in the light (becoming more of a vivid violet). They are also the type of sequins you can flip over and the other side is stunning. I love the high-shine silver with true holographic finish. Again I took a close up of that and in the shots on my feet, I've lifted little sections like I did with the thigh high boots a couple of weeks ago. The bow across the toe is yellow with pink spots and actually has wire inside, so you can manipulate it a bit.
Size-wise I did the usual, automatically bought my usual 5/38, then worried until they arrived that they wouldn't fit because I used to size up in a lot of bunny heels (and characters in general). You initially think they'll be quite snug, there's barely any toe to them to be honest, it's very stubby there. However you'll see from some of my photos, my heel actually lifts out and you can see a gap in some poses. Even after just trying them once, they loosen considerably. Width wise I don't see any issues, so I personally wouldn't size up or you'll be slipping out and there's no strap to keep you in. The bunny heel has an almost wedge like appearance and there's a small concealed platform, though these are one of the higher end character heel mould heights. I personally find them easy to walk on, very sturdy and well supported.
I really must stop procrastinating that I'm going to 'ruin' these heels or that I don't have the correct materials to decorate them and just get on with it, it's already been a year and a half! I want this pair to be quite colourful and Easter-ish, but like I say, have other (not concrete yet) plans for this years bunnies. Oh and the bunny heels have holes in the neck for a ribbon, like the original Flopsy etc.
Wearing: Spreading Happiness Tights, Irregular Choice x Sanrio (Little Twin Stars, current season).
Fit: 4 1/4" heel, 3/4" concealed platform. Slip on. True to size, though after trying on they do become a bit roomy in the heel especially. I'd recommend sticking with your usual size and sizing down if between sizes.
Comfort: Solid, sturdy wedge like heel, easy to walk on.
