Sara Blakely Introduces Sneex: High-Heeled Sneakers for Comfort and Style

The Spanx founder's new footwear line aims to revolutionize traditional high heels with innovative design.

  • Sneex combines sneaker comfort with the elegance of high heels, featuring Napa leather, mesh, and suede.
  • The shoes are engineered to address common pain points of high heels, such as uneven weight distribution and narrow toe boxes.
  • Retail prices for Sneex range from $395 to $595, with initial models including 'The Icon,' 'The Tepper,' and 'The Blake.'
  • Early reactions to Sneex are mixed, with some praising the concept and others critiquing the aesthetics.
  • Blakely's new venture follows her successful sale of a majority stake in Spanx to Blackstone in 2021.
