pali vs pela

Karmaloop is the best. I ordered Pali on Thursday evening & they arrived yesterday.

I had predicted that Pali would have more taupe to it & I was correct. However, I was wrong about the extent. They are waaaay more taupe than Pela.

Despite the extreme taupiness, I do think I prefer the color of Pali. I’m very happy to report that they coordinate much better with my Treesje Tristan bag than Pela did.

Another thing I really like about Pali is the sole. Pela has a leather sole, which is slippery & doesn’t last very long. Pali has a rubber sole, which is much more practical.

The only downside is how much stiffer Pali is around the ankles than Pela. Pali’s ankle straps & back dig into my ankles when I walk, which is a bit bothersome. I’m worried that a whole day of walking around in them will end up being painful. I won’t know till I try though.

Overall, I’m pleased with Pali. I can’t deny how good they look with Tristan & how cute the style is in general. Of course I prefer the Italian leather of Pela, but for $100 less these are a much better buy.
