The Look: This is a pretty standard nice wedge sandal. I love the braid across the toes, a narrow ribbon of gold interwoven with the beige. The heel is only 3 inches, however and that counts the platform. So, it’s not high heeled and that affects its beauty. The Fit: Of course I had to…
The Look: While I think this is clearly a pump, the toe box is neither a closed nor a peep-toe style, but more like a lace look band on a sandal. The heel is very low and counteracts the open inner sides which normally makes for a sexy shoe. The Fit: Another rare 6.5 M…
The Look: In many ways this is a step outside my normal taste. Lots of straps and buckles, a low block heel and brown. Those at least. It isn’t an ugly shoe, but almost all of the rest of my collection are prettier. The Fit: One of the few 6 1/2 size shoes that an…
The Look: I think I mentioned before that the peep-toe design isn’t a favorite, but here’s another pair where it seems to work. The pleated toe box doesn’t quite have the same effect as on the Rebecca design by the same manufacturer; the material used doesn’t really have a fabric enough look to carry it…
The Look: For looks, this is one of my very favorite type of sandals. It’s a bikini for the feet, meaning that it’s almost naked. The heel cup in back is the only exception and that just raises the appearance from sexy to classy. Black with silver touches everywhere will look sharp with almost any…
The Look: While I don’t go for the peep-toe style very often, I really think this shoe makes it work well. Off white and the silky look of the fabric across the toes, the pump style heel cup and a strap around the ankle combine to make this a beautiful shoe. And, while it doesn’t…
The Look: This is the first pair of wedges I’ve reviewed and most wedge heels don’t have the sheer beauty you find in shoes with stiletto heels. Where they shine is stability, making them an obvious choice for days when you’ve got a lot of walking to do. This pair has a nice platform and…
The Look: Just short of awesome. The shine, the strap across the front of the ankle, the crisscross at the back of the heel and the shaped bridge of the toe box has an elegance that isn’t significantly damaged by the choice of materials. A low platform and a beautifully high stiletto complete the picture….
The Look: This will be the first pair of platforms reviewed and so deserves a special comment. I’m almost 5’7″ tall, which in countries like The Netherlands is relatively short, but in the southeastern part of the United States, where I spent a good many years, is more normal for a man’s height than a…
The Look: Shiny black pumps are sure to catch the eye. Pointed toe pumps seem a lot more common right now, which makes this nice rounded toe all the sweeter. If you’re looking for a pump with cleavage showing, this might be a disappointment, the toe deep enough to limit that. The Fit: Available in…
