Spanx founder Sara Blakely has launched new footwear brand, Sneex - a sneaker-heel hybrid, currently available online for USA shipping. 

Sara says "Sneex is more than just a sneaker with a heel. It’s been years of innovation and iteration. We broke the mold while creating a new mold, one that addresses all of our major pain points in high heels. I hope Sneex encourage women to reach new heights, to push the envelope and to never settle. Not in life... or in fashion. Sneex are my love letter to every woman who has taken her shoes off at a party, who wears flats to work with heels in her bag, who thought her days of wearing heels were over."

Sara has previously been named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the world and was featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine as the youngest self-made female billionaire.
