ShoeDazzle Reviews
If you’re thinking about signing up for ShoeDazzle but aren’t sure, you have come to the right place. I love this shoe club, and you’ll definitely pick that up in my excitement about being a member but I’ll be sure to give you the good and the bad about the service in my in-depth ShoeDazzle review.
If you haven’t heard about ShoeDazzle, here’s the skinny: each month you get a pair of fabulous designer shoes picked out especially for you. And the cost? $39.95! Yup, personalized celebrity stylist recommendations for you for under 40 bucks a month. And both shipping and exchanges are free!
Kim Kardashian founded the ShoeDazzle shoe club and it’s like having her as your personal shoe stylist. Well, OK, not just her as she has a team of top stylists to pick out the hottest fashions just for you. On top of that you’ll get a great deal on the shoes. It’s why me and my friends are all a twitter about this. Some of my more dramatic friends are even calling this service shoe heaven in their own ShoeDazzle reviews! I like to think of it as shoe crack.
The first step is taking a brief and fun fashion survey so the ShoeDazzle stylists get to know your fashion personality. They give you pictures of celebrities and you choose which ones you think have the best style. Then, based on your answers, their stylists select 5 shoe options for you each month. You pick your perfect pair and it’s delivered to your door. Or, you tell them to try again and send you 5 more styles, then you pick your favorite.
When you go to the ShoeDazzle site, you might be turned off by some of the out-there styles, depending on your taste. But fear not, ShoeDazzle actually has a good variety of shoes – not just the high heels they feature on their sign up page. For my first month’s order I told the stylists that I wanted flats and here’s a few of the shoes they showed me:
Cute, huh? I ended up choosing the shoe in the middle which is called the Zeta and I love, love, love them!
You can also choose none of the shoes and opt out of that month. Unlike other buying clubs, ShoeDazzle lets you easily skip a month and you pay nothing. So if you don’t like what you see or just don’t feel like buying a pair of shoes that month (I don’t know any woman like that!) it’s no problem. I’ll admit that my first showroom was not exactly doing it for me so I asked them to try again. I gave them some more information based on follow up questions and the second showroom hit just the right tone. Ever since then it’s been exactly what I like.
The company’s stylists are a “who’s who” of the fashion world. In addition to Kim Kardashian, who is the company’s Chief Fashion Stylist, there are folks like Michael Bassolino from HSN’s Designers Challenge, Merika Rock, who writes a weekly style column for the CBS Network, and Camille Jumelle who dresses celebrities like Scarlett Johansson and Amy Adams. The bottom line is that all of the shoes they select for you are fashion forward and in style right now.
ShoeDazzle Shoe Quality
Enough about the company, now for the shoes. So…what are the shoes really like? I have to say that I absolutely love every pair I’ve ordered. These don’t look like $40 shoes. No fooling. These are step out on the town, make a statement shoes. I get compliments whenever I wear my ShoeDazzle shoes. Seriously – I’m not just spouting off either – people really do notice my shoes!
As for quality, I have found the shoes to be surprisingly well made and I’ve read the same thing on other ShoeDazzle reviews. While you won’t necessarily get genuine leather or suede at this low a price (which is great for you vegan shoe lovers), the shoes do not look cheap at all. The stitching and molding is carefully done and the design is super stylish. Even more impressive, the shoes are remarkably comfortable despite the fact that some of them have 5 inch heels. How they make a 5 inch pump actually comfortable, I don’t know, but they do it!
The shipping is prompt, accurate, and did I mention free? I haven’t had to exchange any of the shoes I’ve received so far, but it’s nice to know that exchanges are free too. I literally giggle when I see the FedEx man with my ShoeDazzle box. He must think I’m nuts.
Pros and Cons
While I love ShoeDazzle and have been a very happy customer for awhile now, there are some things to keep in mind. Some ShoeDazzle reviews you read will only talk about the good stuff, but I want you to have a balanced perspective before plunking down your hard-earned cash.
First, the Cons:
- If you’re looking for regular, everyday shoes this is probably not your best bet. ShoeDazzle specializes in fun, fabulous, “go out” shoes, though they do have a nice selection of sandals and flats that are more everyday-type shoes.
- When you first sign-up you can’t see the shoe selection immediately. This may be a small gripe, but when you complete the survey and sign-up form you have to wait about a day to receive an email with a link to your personal showroom. I would have liked to have seen the available shoes immediately upon sign-up, just because I’m impulsive like that.
- New shoes every month. OK, for most girls this isn’t a big problem – what’s better than a brand new pair of shoes each and every month? But if you’re not that into shoes then selecting a new pair each month might get to be too much.
Now the Pros:
- New designer shoes!!! For $40?!? These are great looking, fashion-forward shoes with surprisingly good quality and they are actually comfortable.
- Great designs. ShoeDazzle has lined up some of the best known stylists in the industry to select your shoes so you know you’ll always be in fashion.
- Personalized selections. The stylists do a great job of matching their shoes to your own personal style. If you have a preference for flats they won’t show you high heels except to maybe stretch you out of your comfort zone a bit. They are stylists and it’s in their nature. If you like more classic looks they won’t show you crazy, out there designs but they might throw in faux snake skin platforms with big buckles just to give you something to chew on.
- Great customer service. Shipping is free and exchanges are free. All of my dealings with ShoeDazzle customer service have been excellent.
- No obligation. If you don’t like the selection of shoes for any given month you can simply skip that month and pay nothing.
Overall my experience with ShoeDazzle has been overwhelmingly positive and I highly recommend it. If you like shoes you’ll love Shoe Dazzle. In fact, I’m such a fan I want to shout it from the rooftops (hence, this review site!). In my humble opinion, I think you should sign up now if you’re looking for a shoe makeover.

I’ve been with ShoeDazzle for three months now and LOVE it! Shoes are great, the customer service is great. Best part of it all – my boyfriend actually notices my new shoes for once!
I’ve been a ShoeDazzle member for almost a year and absolutely LOVE the service. I’ve added at least 10 new pairs of shoes to my collection – for $39.95, including shipping, the shoes are unbelievably cute, well made and honestly, comfortable. This is the best gift I’ve ever given myself and I’m constantly getting compliments on my shoes. LOVE SHOEDAZZLE!!
I just got my first pair of ShoeDazzle shoes, the Stevie gold gladiator sandals. They are AMAZING, they fit like a glove, they’re incredibly comfortable, and everyone who has seen them so far is completely blown away that they are so cute for only $40. Awesome service! I’m not even a shoe hound and I adore this website!
I have been a member of ShoeDazzle for four months now and I love it! I received a free scarf with my first order which was a pleasant surprise. The shoes are gorgeous, unique, well-made and pretty much true to size. I actually received a pair of suede shoes recently. Shipping is lightning fast and the shoes come well packaged in both a box and include a shoe bag. ShoeDazzle is definitely worth $39.95 a month. Awesome!
I have been a ShoeDazzle member since December… I only have one pair of shoes (loveem!!), but I am still very excited about the site. I just wish the shoes that were in my shoeroom were more me… I did get 2 shoes and a bag that I returned, just because I didnt LOVE them when I got them, and i have to love my stuff! They were good quality and great for someone else… Their customer service has always been great, i’ve never had a problem with returns and they are awesome every time I email them about not being thrilled with any of the shoes in my showroom or with suggestions about the website… Like, I think it would be great if they website had a star rating system like Netflix does, I think it would really help the stylist get a sense of you…. Still love it even with just 1 pair of fab shoes.
Rachael – your idea of having a star rating for each item is great! Hopefully the folks at ShoeDazzle are reading some of these reviews and will incorporate that soon. I think you’ll love them even more as you get more shoes – I know I do.
I just joined and am very excited to begin my ShoeDazzle adventure! I agree that Rachael’s comment is dead on. A star rating type system would be perfect because we all know that our tastes change with the seasons. But all in all the site looks great and makes me feel like a celeb!
Love the star rating idea. I wish they’d see this and make it happen! For the record, I love ShoeDazzle and everything I’ve gotten so far (bags, jewelry AND shoes). I’ve had to deal with customer service a few times, too and they are always friendly but could respond a little faster. That said, the actual shoes are so great – totally cool and super comfortable. How do they make them so comfortable??? BTW, thanks for all the good info – you really helped me decide to join!
I can’t wait! Signed up today with ShoeDazzle and justfab.com which is the exact same thing but for $39.95 per item each month. I figured if you get to skip each month with both sites…might as well get double your selection!!!
I have been a Shoedazzle client for 3 months. Love the shoes! Customer services is great. Recently I sent for an alternate shoe selection and got terrible shoes. I called customer service and he put sooo many shoes in my showroom. It turns out that the shoes I have purchased are unique and look nothing like what I already have. The star rating is a fantastic idea. As for the purses, I wish they had a picture of the purse on someone. Sometimes they don’t and it is hard to get an idea of what the purse will look like on you. Like a previous reviewer,I don’t buy it unless I love it.
