(Review) Pab Der Loafer

I am really my father's daughter. Decided to buy the Pab Der loafers.

I wanted this one more (vs Sebago) since I can buy the extra softest of all insoles and make it the perfect fit for my feet. But it wasn't smooth sailing the whole time. My first few hours with it was a bit painful, creating a welt/scratch on my heel. I had to put on several band-aids on my feet for the first few days so that my feet/shoes can get used to with each other. After the first week though, I never looked back. I absolutely love them!!!!

Insoles:

I bought an extra full-insole to make it a perfect fit. I think it's made of foam?? (not sure, sorry!) I cannot stress it more, it's really, really, really soft and light!! Plus, it doesn't make my feet smell. It's really comfortable and it doesn't slip at all.

Outsoles:


The material is rubber so it helps me from slipping. (I can be such a klutz sometimes. Hahaha.) I don't mind stepping on wet areas because I know that my feet are protected by the durable material.

Leather:

When it rains outside, the material won't easily get ruined.

Overall:
I wear it everyday and everywhere. Since it's white, I can match it with skirts, shorts, pants and everything (well, except for formal black skirt). The brand name is designed with a red color, which is a bit downside for me (It actually reminded of Kickers), it doesn't feel that elegant for me. No biggie though since the important thing is that I am really, really, really comfortable with it. (I'm sorry for the superlatives. Hahaha.)


Pros:
- soft and comfortable!!!!
- can be matched with almost anything
- durable (as of this writing)

Cons:
- first few days of wearing them
- white, easily gets dirty
- price is a bit steep (but i really think it's worth every peso!)

Will I purchase them again?
Hell, yes! Once I wear out this pair, my next one would still be from them!
*The pair costs P2,780 and the extra insole costs another P280.

*I'm not sure whether this is a locally made but with Italian material because I can't see other stores outside Manila. Kindly let me know if anyone has any information. :D

Here is the link of their stores if you want to personally check them out:

On a Roll

Current make-up kit for my everyday use:

Foundation: Anna Sui (liquid), Shishedo powder
Blush/Eyeshadow: Face Shop Baked Shimmer Blusher (Apricot Aura)
Eyelash Curler: Fanny Serrano (cheaper version of Shu haha)
Lipstick: ELF Red Lip Stain

I usually start off with the liquid foundation, emphasizing on the eyes. Next will be the eyes and cheeks. Also whenever I use the lip stain from Elf, I usually forego the blush since I feel that it will already be too much. The last step is the face powder so as to give my face a matte finish.

Wish List

Wishlist before the year ends:

Bobbi Brown brushes
Sebago Lucerne/Pabder Loafers
Ipod Touch
Blackberry Bold
S95

Just bought the Bobbi Brown brush set! Can't wait to try them out tomorrow especially the foundation brush! :D

Also, can't make up my mind whether to buy the Sebago Lucerne(gray) one or the Pabder white leather loafer. Both are a must when walking around and can even blend with various outfit. From shorts to skirts to jeans. From casual to smart casual. Here's the difference though.

Sebago - It's currently on sale (10% off) now on the Glorietta branch until Sunday, so that's P3,060 (from P3,399). It's a bit big but I can use soles (similar to all my shoes). It's suede so I don't know what will happen once it starts raining.

Pabder - It costs less (P2870) but will need the soles (P280) which is really soft and fits perfectly now. That's P3,060 in all (what a coincidence!). And it's leather so it's more durable than suede.

So, now. I still don't know what to do. :) Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Muchas Gracias!
