I don’t know about you, but the days of super high heels are behind me. Over the last several years, I’ve traded in most of my stilettos for block heels and more comfortable heights. I have been gradually adding new shoes my footwear collection and this season I wanted to focus on a neutral heeled ankle boot. For the past several months I’ve been wearing the Paz ankle boot by Inez shoes and recently added another one of the brand’s best-selling styles Isa, to my shoe collection. These may just be some of the most comfortable shoes in my closet. Here’s my full Inez shoes review on the Paz boots and Isa heeled sandal.
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 and the higher Paz 90 boot, but all thoughts about these shoes are my own.

Inez Shoes Review: Paz Boot & Isa Sandal
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.
All Inez shoes are designed to regulate pressed on your foot as you walk. Every shoe features proprietary plush insoles provide both cushion and arch support, something that I think 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.
You can find fit notes for each shoe style and material on every single product page. Their shoes also come in different widths.
Both Paz boots and the Isa heeled sandal run true to size. I am a size 7 90% of the time in shoes, and that’s what I have in these. With the boots, I wear medium weight socks with them.
Paz Boot Shoe Details
The Paz is a heeled ankle boot available in two styles and heights. The Paz 70 is one of Inez’s best sellers and it’s easy to see why.
You can find the Paz bootie as a traditional ankle style, or a sock bootie style that hugs your ankle. This is the version I got, which is called Paz Stretch on the brand’s website.
The Paz 70 is a 70mm heel, which is 2.8in. If you’re looking for something higher, take a look at the Paz 90, the 3.5in heeled version.
I love that the leather wraps around the entire shoe and heel for a beautiful, streamlined look. I also feel like this is partially why the boots can feel dressier should you style them that way.
There is an inside zipper on these boots, so you can get them on and off super easy, while still maintaining a clean, sleek profile.
Although I like my higher Paz boots, I find myself reaching for the lower boot with the 70mm heel much more often.
70mm is the perfect height in my opinion. Although a lower heel, the boot still gives your legs an elongated look. The 70mm Paz boots are high enough 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.
The Ginger Suede is a great neutral bootie, and a color like this is hard to come by. To me this is such a perfect shade that works with every color in your closet.
I love my tan version so much, I also ended up getting them in black, too!

Isa Heel Shoe Details
My latest Inez shoes addition in the Isa sandal. It’s a classic, 90s inspired mule sandal with a heel.
I got the black because my closet was lacking a black heel for summer, but the Isa is also available in Cognac and gold. The gold would be so pretty at a spring or summer wedding!
Despite my hesitation with the skinnier heel, the Isa heels are the same height as the Paz 70 boots. Both are 2.8in heels, or 70mm.
Comfort
The number one question here is obviously this one: Are Inez shoes comfortable?
I can’t speak to all the styles since I only own three styles from the brand, but yes.
I noticed the arch support and footbed immediately on all three shoes, especially the Isa. I’ve never seen a slide sandal with such great arch support.
The leather on these shoes is soft, and it molds to your foot without bagging out almost instantly.
If you’re trying to choose between the Paz 70 and Paz 90, I’d probably 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 is by far the most comfortable of all my Inez shoes.
However, the Isa and Paz 90 are also still comfortable, so I wouldn’t rule them out completely.
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 the Paz 90 boot has that block heel that I love, but higher than its Paz 70 counterpart.
The soles of my Inez shoes are cushioned and springy, and I just LOVE the arch support. As I mentioned previously, I feel like arch support is something you really don’t find in shoes that aren’t sneakers. And seriously, it’s a game changer.
These shoes, required zero break in time. And zero blisters while wearing any of shoes!
My most worn pair of Inez shoes is definitely the Paz 70. I’ve worn them them to dinner, walking 20 minutes in NYC, and to meetings all during the last several months without as much as a squished toe or sore ball of my foot. Now that warmer weather is here, I’m looking forward to getting more use out of the Isa sandal.
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.

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 I have already worn my boots more in fall and winter than the other heeled shoes in my closet.
Whenever your feet are in an unnatural position for a long period of time, they’re obviously going to feel a bit sore after awhile. But I can say with certainty, that I can wear my Inez shoes longer than any other heels I own.
My Inez shoes have proven to be comfortable, supportive, and extremely well-made.
