I recently started doing more clothing box reviews, and I realized I need shoes to go along with them, so I decided to try the Just Fab first month offer of 2 pairs of shoes for $39.95.
If you aren't familiar, JustFab is a monthly clothing, shoes and accessories subscription. You can shop their merchandise like normal retail, but they have a VIP subscription that gives you better prices on everything in their store. On the first of every month, they release new styles and you can pick any item you want – either from your personal ‘Boutique’ or across the site. You can also skip the month. However, if you don’t pick or skip by the 5th of each month, you get charged $39.95 store credit to spend any time.
P.S. - I have tips on how to make the most of this subscription pricing at the end of the review.
This model is similar to how ShoeDazzle, Fabletics, and AdoreMe work. You pick exactly what items you want - no surprises.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes)

JustFab First Box Offer Review:
Here is the first pair of shoes I picked for this BOGO deal:
Lawren Heeled Sandal - Regular Subscriber Pricing $39.95 (I paid $19.98)
These shoes have a suede-like synthetic upper fabric. The blush color is gorgeous and on trend. And these shoes have the most important feature to me in a heeled shoe: an ankle strap!
(This shoe is available in 4 different colors.)
These heels are pretty comfortable to walk in considering they are adding 5.5 inches to my height! And the blush tone worked well with my skin tone to help with the visual illusion of making my legs look longer! Here they are on:
My next choice is a little more reasonable in heel height:
Noremi Platform Sandal - Regular Subscriber Pricing $39.95 (I paid $19.97)
Only 4 inches tall! 🙂
These were super comfortable to walk in, and the style of the shoe seems timeless to me. I'll definitely wear these a lot.
Here they are on:
(This shoe is available in 4 different colors.)
Verdict: Do I think these shoes are worth the $39.95 value each? Yep, I'm happy with the quality for that price point. BUT! You never actually need to pay that pricing for Just Fab.
Here's what I've figured out when it comes to getting the most value out of your Just Fab subscription:
Step 1: Sign up for their new customer discount offer. It's typically 2 pairs of shoes for $39.95 with free shipping. You can check what their latest offer is here. If you are paying around $20 or less per pair of shoes, it's a great deal.
Extra Savings Tip: When the offer is 2 pairs of shoes for $39.95, that discount applies if you add more to your cart, too.
Here is my cart using this deal to actually get 4 pairs of shoes as my introductory offer:
If you have multiple shoes you are eyeing, buy them all now at this discount. (This isn't like those old Columbia House CD subscriptions where you have to buy more later!)
At this point, you can completely cancel your subscription if you never want to be charged by JustFab again, but if you follow the next step, it's totally worth keeping your subscription for additional deals.
How to cancel a JustFab subscription:
You can cancel your JustFab subscription via online chat or by calling JustFab at 1-866-337-0906
Step 2: Set a JustFab reminder alarm on your phone/computer on the 1st of every month. On the 1st, go into your JustFab account and skip that month. By doing this every month, JustFab will never charge you the $39.95 monthly fee. It's super easy to do, the main thing is remembering to do it!
If you don't skip by the 5th, you'll be charged $39.95, and you'll get a $39.95 credit to spend on any item on the site. This isn't the worst thing in the world, but to get the biggest value out of JustFab, you don't want that to happen.
(If you want an extra reminder, subscribe to the MSA daily newsletter - on the 4th of every month, we do a reminder post for all subscriptions that allow you until the 5th to opt out.)
Why don't want to end up with JustFab credits even though you still want to shop JustFab? You can't apply credits to any of the deals they offer. And they offer deep discount deals every month!
Here's an example to better illustrate my point:
JustFab was recently offering 40% off everything. (All their deals are only for current subscribers, so that's why you don't want to cancel your subscription, but just skip the membership fee every month.)
I put two pairs of shoes in my cart, with a subtotal of $79.90. But with the 40% discount it works out to under $24 a pair of shoes shipped:
Great deal! However, I have $17.10 in credit (left over from a time when I didn't know about these hacks), and if I apply the credit, I lose the 40% off everything discount:
And since I already paid full price for that credit, I'm truly paying $79.90 for these two pairs of shoes instead of $47.97. By using the discounts and avoiding any credit in my account that I would have to redeem on regular prices, I'm saving $31.93 on this order alone.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get these shoes if you sign up today? Yep! As of publication, both were still in stock.
