The author and her mother, 68-year-old mother, tested the Sneex Sneaker Heels for their comfort, which are often worn by celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Kathy Bates, and Hoda Kotb. The Icon shoes are made with arch support and a toe box that’s not too narrow or crammed, and the rubber sole offers a cushioned platform with each step. The author and mother, who both work from home, found their heels comfortable and didn't cause any discomfort. They also found that they were more breathable to spend $395 on them than they would otherwise be. However, the author also noted that while her mother wears heels at least three times a week, her desire to have them in another color is not enough.
