For Women Who Work in Mortgages, A Shoe Just for You. Seriously

BIRMINGHAM, Mich.–The first-ever shoe created for women who work in the mortgage business has been released by the Hispanic Organization of Mortgage Experts (HOME). 

The shoe, called La Reina (the Queen), retails for $239, according to the organization’s website, which said it is the first-ever shoe created for women in mortgage.

Nicole Yelland, HOME’s chief communications and strategy officer, told HousingWire that the shoe pays homage to women in the mortgage industry who often have to resort to heels at business events.

“We were on Capitol Hill a few weeks ago, and I saw all of these women walking around doing incredible work and lobbying for a policy and meeting with all of these incredible policymakers,” Yelland told HousingWire. “And then at the end of day, they were hobbling because they felt like they had to wear these impossible heels with a suit. And that sucks. Men were wearing Jordans. Like, where’s ours?”

‘Go Well With a Suit’

According to HOME, each pair of shoes features a metallic gold sole to honor Hispanic and Latino culture. Besides the sole, the shoe is black and “high-end leather intended to go well with a suit,” Yelland told the publication. “The other part of wanting to have a shoe that honors Hispanic and Latino culture is just to help people see it right. But people can’t know what they don’t see.”

HOME said the shoe is available in limited quantities. It will be available beginning Mother’s Day.
