J Crew Factory has been rockin’ it with their offerings this year. So much that I am trying to figure out what current retail items to not buy now in hopes that they come to the Factory in a season or two.

The Sylvia Patent Leather Wedges in Cabernet have been eluding me in-store so I finally ordered them during one of the many amazing Factory promos. The retail Martina sister are surprisingly nice. I was expecting more of a plastic-y feel to the patent. I’ve tried the Paulina Pump (sister to the Mona) in-store and they did feel plastic. Those have a Patent Polyurethane Upper. The Sylvia are a bit stiff compared to the retail version but still a great shoe.

I ordered my normal size 7 and though there is a tiny, maybe 1/4-inch, gap at the heel they fit TTS.

The Cabernet color is beautiful and will pair well with my Factory Skinny Jean in Gray. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear them yet so I will have to report back on the actual comfort of them for more than a 5-minute try-on. 

Have you had any experience with the Factory Sylvia Wedge or any other Factory shoes?
