Sara Blakely Has Always Been Her Own Bellwether

Spanx Founder Sara Blakely has always been her own bellwether. Blakely launched Sneex, a “luxury hybrid stiletto” which retails between $395 and $595.  

“I own stilettos and I own sneakers already, but I don’t own the combination of the two. As a consumer I wanted the combination of the two,” Blakely says. For her, the shoe is the intermediary between dressy and casual. (She cites Sneex as ideal for the classic jeans-and-a-nice-top outfit formula.) 

She goes on to say, “I designed them to be able to wear every day, but 100% women will embrace them and wear them formally. Women are already wearing regular sneakers in formalwear, so I think that that is going to happen for sure."
