What is ShoeCandy®?

ShoeCandy® by Kara Mac is a line of high quality, designer shoes and hand-crafted, mix and match accessories that you can combine to create your own, heel to toe, shoe designs in a flash. Perfect for travelers and other women on the go.

How does it work?

ShoeCandy® shoes and accessories combine easily and seamlessly using our patent pending “snap and play” technology, invented by Co-Founder Kara Mac. Check out the videos below to see ShoeCandy® in action.

Who invented ShoeCandy®?

ShoeCandy® was invented by former Ralph Lauren designer, Kara Mac – a long time shoe aficionado and mother of 2 who found it challenging to find stylish shoe options that would work for all the parts of her hectic days.  Kara recognized that most women led lives that were similarly busy and varied so she set out to create a shoe that could instantly adapt to suit the needs of the wearer without compromising style or quality.  In 2013, Kara gave up her full time, fashion designer job to develop her idea. In 2015, Kara teamed up with life-long friend, Ann Merin, a beauty and fashion expert, star of TLC’s Wedding Day Makeover, and a branding expert with an Ivy League MBA and ShoeCandy® was born.  For more information on the ShoeCandy® story, check out this interview with Kara and Ann.

How many different shoe styles do you offer?

We currently offer 9 different customizable shoe models – 5 low heel ( ¾”),  3 block high heel (2 ¼”), and 1 stiletto heel (3 1/2″) in iconic styles that every woman should have in her closet – pumps, boots, sandals

What accessories do you have?

ShoeCandy® currently offers a large variety of interchangeable accessories that can create literally hundreds of different looks. Our accessories include High and Low Heel Covers, Toe Clips and T-Straps for our sandals. We will continue to develop new accessories based on current fashion trends, and other seasonal events such as holiday celebrations and cause-related support.
