Sneex <\/a>has been voted one of Oprah\u2019s<\/a> Favorite Things of 2024. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Founded by Spanx founder Sara Blakely<\/a>, the brand has been in the works for nine years \u2014\u00a0something the celebrated entrepreneur has spoken about via her website and Instagram. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The brand\u2019s standout product is a sneaker-stiletto hybrid (also called hy-heels), which are made in Spain and feature a 78 millimeter heel, napa leather, Italian mesh and suede materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The buzzed-about footwear line has also become a favorite of Oprah\u2019s longtime friend Gayle King<\/a>. In August, King invited Blakely onto her show \u201cCBS Morning,\u201d sharing posts on Instagram afterwards where she raved about the shoe, including a video of her pushing a suitcase through the airport while rocking a pair of green Sneex saying people stopped her to ask where she purchased them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The official Sneex statement via Oprah\u2019s Favorite\u2019s Things reads: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSara Blakely, the woman who brought us Spanx, thought, What if I made high heels as comfortable as sneakers? It took almost ten years, and the innovation is how it redistributes the weight off the ball of your foot. The result is a shoe Gayle wore for 12 hours straight!\u201d <\/p>\n

According to the website, the comfort aspects include reengineered weight distribution, a comfortable toe box and arch support to address the pain issues sometimes associated with wearing high heels. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in start up mode. Let\u2019s GOOOO! Another company with boxes in the garage. Reliving my [Spanx] days for sure. Only this time I actually have a garage. When I started Spanx I was in an apartment and they left all the boxes on my front porch. Oh\u2026 and I\u2019ve got 4 kids in start-up mode now,\u201d Blakely wrote in an Instagram post back in August.<\/p>\n
