Ep. 166: Tall Girl Shoe Try-On: Unboxing and Reviewing Etta Grove's Extended Size Shoes

We are BACKKKKKKKK with another episode of A Tall Girl’s Podcast! So glad you’re here :) Before I get into this episode, I do wanna say make sure you’re following me on my socials @atallgirlspodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest so that you can stay up to date on all of the latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life. Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are. 

It’s been a while since I’ve held a mic! The last time was before my trip, which was like a month ago. Seems so far yet it feels like it was just yesterday…I was hoping to be recording on my new microphone by now; however, I need a windscreen for it. I actually ordered one for pickup (because people stay stealing stuff in our apartment building :/) and I have yet to pick it up. Which is AMAZING. I intend to get it sometime this week so catch me with that new mic very very soon lol. 

Today, we are doing a product review! This is actually my first ever product review episode. Crazy, right? Hopefully this works out as intended… 

Etta Grove Product Review

Today, I'm excited to share my first-ever product review, partnering with Etta Grove, a brand specializing in extended size shoes and handbags. As tall girls, finding shoes that fit can be a real struggle. I did an episode with the co-founder of Etta Grove, which you should check out. Now, let's get into this product review.

Unboxing & First Impressions

Etta Grove's shipping was quick—3 to 4 business days. I ordered the Haleigh Casual Sneaker in tan canvas suede, size 9.5, which goes up to size 14. When the package arrived, it was well-packaged with a big box and a smaller box containing the shoes. The logo on the shoe box was cool, and the shoes had a nice fresh shoe smell.

The Haleigh Casual Sneaker has a slight platform, about 1 to 1.5 inches, which I don't mind. The tan color fits my preference for neutral tones. The canvas and suede material feels sturdy and high-quality. The sneakers have a helpful loop at the back for easy wear, and the grip on the sole seems solid.

Trying On & Styling

I'm no fashionista, but I paired the sneakers with a monochromatic outfit—dark blue pants that look almost black. The sneakers were comfortable and had long enough laces for a secure fit. I recommend wearing thicker socks as the shoes rubbed a bit on my Achilles heel, but it wasn’t too bad with the right socks.

I took the sneakers for a walk, about a mile, and they were very comfortable and sturdy. Even after walking on wet ground and puddles, my socks stayed dry. Overall, the Haleigh Casual Sneaker performed well, and I rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Conclusion

Etta Grove's Haleigh Casual Sneaker is supportive, stylish, and comfortable. I highly recommend checking them out—links to their website, social media, and the co-founder interview are below. Fill out their survey for a discount code and sign up for their newsletter for more perks.
