I don’t know about you, but the days of a stiletto heel are behind me. Over time, I’ve traded in nearly every one of my super high heels for block heels and more comfortable heights. I have been adding new shoes my footwear rotation and originally discovered the brand Inez during my hunt for a neutral pair of boots for everyday wear. For the past couple of years, the brand’s best-selling Paz ankle boot has been one of my most worn pair of shoes, and over time I’ve added more Inez styles to my to my shoe collection. My Inez shoes may just be some of the most comfortable heels in my closet. Here’s my full Inez shoes review featuring all the styles I own from the brand.
Admittedly, I have never been that girl who can walk for blocks in any kind of heel, so when I kept seeing Inez Instagram ads all over the place claiming maximum comfort, my interest was piqued. The brand graciously gifted me its Paz 70 boot several years ago, but all thoughts about these shoes are my own. (Scroll to the bottom of this post for an exclusive code you can use on your order.)
Inez Shoes Review: Paz Boot, Isa Sandal, Caro Boot & More
About Inez Shoes
Inez shoes are designed in New York City and made in Spain, in a third-generation family factory. The brand focuses on craftsmanship via small-batch production and sourcing responsible materials. But they make more than beautiful shoes!
All Inez heels and Inez boots are designed to regulate the constant pressing on your foot as you walk. Every shoe they make feature a proprietary plush insole to provide both cushion and arch support, something that really lacks in so many non-athletic shoes.
Sizing
One thing I really love about the Inez website is the attention to detail about sizing on all their different styles.
You can find fit notes for each shoe and material on every single product page. These shoes also come in different width options to help you achieve your perfect fit.
For my most part, I have found all of my Inez shoes to run true to size. I am a size 7 about 95% of the time, and with the exception of the Caro Boot boot, that’s what take in this brand. (I only sized up a half size to 7.5 in the the Caro ankle boot because I knew I’d be wearing them in NYC winters with very thick socks. Otherwise, they also run TTS.)

Paz Boot Shoe Details
Paz is a heeled ankle boot with a subtly pointed toe that is available in two different heights: 70mm and 90mm.
The Paz 70 Stretch boot is one of Inez’s best sellers, and my very first pair of Inez shoes. This shoe comes in stretch suede and hugs the ankle for a clean, modern fit. Paz is also available in non-suede, calf leather with more of a classic, tapered fit at the ankle.
I love that the leather wraps around the entire shoe and heel for a beautiful, streamlined look. I feel like this is partially why these boots feel dressier and polished, regardless of how your style them.
There is an inside zipper so you can get these on and off super easily, while still maintaining the sleek, clean line of the style.
Paz 70 is a 70mm heel, which is 2.8in. If you’re looking for a higher heel, take a look at the Paz 90, the 3.5in heeled version (pictured below).
However, after a year or so I ended up giving away the Paz 90 because I found myself reaching for the lower 70mm heel much more often.
70mm is the perfect height in my opinion. Although a lower heel, the boot still gives your legs and elongated look. 70mm is a high enough heel to feel dressed up while also being a sensible heel height if you’re walking around during the day. It’s a highly versatile heel height that works for both day and night. I live in New York City part-time and I have walked blocks and blocks in these shoes with little to no break-in period required.
The Ginger Suede is a great neutral, and it’s a perfect shade that works with many colors in your closet.
I loved my tan version of the Paz 70 Stretch so much, I also ended up getting them in black suede, and those have easily become my favorite pair of Inez shoes!

Caro Boot Shoe Details
The Caro boot is an elevated Chelsea boot with a 2in leather stacked heel and a shaft that extends above above the ankle. These boots are resilient, and I feel like I don’t need to be as precious with them given that they’re leather versus suede. If you’re looking for an everyday boot, these are definitely a good option.
Unlike the Paz boot, the Caro boot doesn’t have a zipper. They are, however, just as easy to get on thanks to leather panels and a pull tab at the back for an easy slip-on style.
Camilla Sandal Details
For a long time I put off on trying these platform sandals because they looked way too high and intimidating for my heel-wearing confidence levels. But I kind of love the Inez Camillas? And I was so pleasantly surprised at their comfort.
The platform of course adds extra height if you’re looking for it, but the team at Inez really wins bonus points for this shoe’s ergonomic design. The generous platform balances the pitch of your foot so it doesn’t feel too steep, and the straps keep your ankles secure.
If you’re looking for a fun pair of party shoes, the Camillas are worth adding to your cart.
Sofia Sandals Shoe Details
For warmer weather, or if you have a special event like a wedding, anniversary, or baby shower, Inez has the perfect strappy sandals for the occasion.
At just under 3 inches (2.8 inches, to be exact), the Sofia is the perfect sandal for dressier events and celebrations. This shoe is available in several colors, so you’re bound to find the right one for whatever you’re wearing. There’s even a beautiful silver option with crystal straps if you’re a bride in need of heels for the big day!
Although these have the look of a stiletto, I find them to be very stable when wearing thanks to placement of the straps that really make your feet feel like they’re held in place. Just like all other Inez styles, the Sofia has built-in arch support and a cushioned footbed to keep your your feet aligned for wobble-free walking.
I’m not going to tell you I’ve worn these 8 hours all over the city because I haven’t. I do prefer the more robustly stable heel of Camilla, but as far as more traditional heels go, they have everything you’d want for a special occasion sandal.
Isa Heel Shoe Details
The Isa sandal is a classic, 90s-inspired mule sandal with a slim heel.
I love the interlocking leather detail on this shoe. It adds a little something while still being very minimalist and sleek. The Isa is also available in black, cognac, and gold. The gold would be so pretty at a spring or summer wedding!
Despite my original hesitation with the skinnier heel, the Isa heels are the same height as the Paz 70 boots. Both are 2.8in heels, or 70mm. And as with all Inez shoes, even these sandals are made with arch support.
Comfort
I can’t speak to all styles, but given that I’ve now now own and worn several of shoes from the brand, yes, Inez shoes are comfortable.
I’ve immediately noticed the superior arch support and cushioned insole on all of my shoes, especially the Camilla, Isa and Sofia styles. I’ve truly never seen heeled sandals with such better arch support, even when other brands make these claims.
If you’re trying to choose between the Paz 70 and Paz 90, I recommend the Paz 70 purely out of versatility. It has the lower heel height that I prefer, along with a stable block heel since I’m generally a nervous walker in stilettos. And since it’s a heel, you can wear these to dinner or whenever you want to feel a little dressy. The Paz 70 and Caro are both the most comfortable of all my Inez shoes.
The Isa and Paz 90 are still comfortable, though, so don’t rule them out if you’ve had your eyes on either.
If you’re looking for the appearance of a sleek stiletto, the arch support on the Isa is truly so special and what makes them a standout amongst other, similar styles. And you really do long for a higher heeled boot, I think you’ll love the Paz 90 boot.
The soles of my Inez shoes are cushioned and springy, and I just LOVE the arch support. As I mentioned at the stat of this post, I feel like additional arch support is something you really don’t find in shoes that aren’t sneakers. And seriously, it’s a game changer, especially with heels.
All of my Inez shoes have required zero break-in time and have yielded in zero blisters!
My most worn and most comfortable shoes from Inez are definitely the Paz 70 Stretch boots. I’ve worn them to dinner, walking 20 minutes in NYC, and to meetings over the last few of years without as much as a squished toe or sore ball of my foot.
Where to Buy Inez Shoes
Unfortunately, you can’t try on Inez shoes in person anywhere because they are a direct-to-consumer brand and only sell on their own website.
Shipping isn’t free, which I admit, is a bummer. However, the shipping is a flat rate (vs. paying more the more you buy) and Inez offers free exchanges and returns. So, if you really want to try different sizes, you don’t have to pay for any return shipping or a different size.
Because I’ve loved and shared this brand for a while, they gave me a special discount code for Charmed by Camille readers: use CAMILLEC15 for 15% off your purchase on the Inez website.
The Verdict on My Inez Shoes Review
If you’re looking to invest in high-quality shoes that are more comfortable than other heels out there, I really recommend Inez shoes.
The brand runs TTS, the shoes required zero break-in time, and my Paz 70 boots continue to be some of my most worn shoes in fall and winter than the others in my closet.
Whenever your feet are in an unnatural position for a long time, they’re obviously going to feel a bit sore after awhile. But I can say with certainty, that I can wear each of my my Inez shoes longer than any other heels I own.
My Inez shoes have proven to be comfortable, supportive, and extremely well-made.
