OneSole – the interchangeable shoe….
Until
I received an email from Quick Change Artist advising me of a 25% off 4th
of July sale for Onesole, I’d completely forgotten mine were packed away over
the winter. I immediately pulled out the
box with my Traveler sole and the comfort tops I’d ordered in the fall and put
them on.
For
any woman who loves footwear, Onesole is a delightful invention that was
featured on Shark Tank – a show I’ve only seen once. But, the episode I did see
included a pitch by Onesole seeking for funding from the investors. The idea
was brilliant… buy one sole with multiple interchangeable tops. And, the sole
was reportedly comfortable.
While
I’ve never ordered anything from an ad on TV, I immediately ordered the Shark
Tank Special….a Travelers sole and 3 extra tops. My original purchase, a café
Travelers sole, was disappointing because the color eroded from the PVC sole
with one wearing. I was livid and contacted customer service immediately. After
a couple of emails, Quick Change Artist sent me a replacement with the black
sole. The stood by their product and
made me a happy customer. That shoe has been fabulous. I subsequently ordered
more tops.
There
company sells several different sole profiles including a comfort flat, an all
purpose Traveler, a Diva heel, a kitten heel and a classic profile. I initially
purchased the Traveler and recently ordered the classic, which is more casual.
These shoes are ideal for travel because one can wear one sole, pack another,
and then pack multiple tops. And, as advertised, they are comfortable.
The
tops have various style including the basic stretchy comfort slide, a dressier leather belt slide, an espadrille, a T-strap
and even a clog style. Amazingly, all of the tops are attached by 4 snaps – two
on each side of the sole. The comfort tops are hand washable! And, many of the
tops are colorful with unique artistic designs that make your footwear wardrobe
special.
The inventor, Dominique Barteet, is a
pharmacist who designed the shoe as a hobby. Now, her pharmacy is the
hobby.
As
an avowed shoe addict, I cannot say that Onesole will keep me from purchasing
other shoes in multiples. But, I can state that Onesole is a brilliant
invention that offers a product that is
comfortable, affordable, and provides an opportunity to expand ones shoe
wardrobe without spending a fortune. There is no better option for travel.
