The Look: It’s a very pretty red, wedge heel that goes nicely with several of my outfits. The wide toe strap and the crisscross over the top of the foot give a bold statement of confidence. It is, however, obviously a faux leather and I could wish that it seemed genuine – whether or not…
The Look: There’s just something about a string of black roses flowing down the top of my foot. It’s certainly eye catching and I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear them. Though the bands are pretty wide, it’s still got an almost minimal look to it, especially when viewed from the side. The…
The Look: Nothing wrong with the look of this shoe, but my favorite part is the gap through the wedge. It almost makes it more like a regular heel, but not quite. The Fit: Pretty solid fit, maybe a bit long, too much shoe showing beyond the toes. The crisscross straps also come in at…
The Look: Bronze isn’t a common color for shoes and I like this pair for that if no other reason. The Velcro adjustable straps – the top two – are nice to reduce the risk of losing the shoe, a common problem with slides. The designs in the center strap are also pretty. But it’s…
The Look: This shoe seems quite plain, the only really decorative feature being the linked T-strap. Despite that, it has an understated beauty. Sometimes less is more kind of thinking. Looking at it from the back, it also has a very high heel for a wedge, a full 4 inches. Of course, moving to the…
The Look: Bold. Broad black straps with buckles. While I do count this with my pretty shoes, it’s not really pretty, which is not to say that I dislike the look. Rather it makes a statement of confidence, perhaps a light taste even of dominance. Maybe a feminist ‘I can do anything’ attitude. The sole…
The Look: Animal print on a shoe. If it hadn’t been on sale, a really good sale, I probably wouldn’t have gone for it. I’m well past the phase when I wore a lot of animal print clothes, which means I don’t have much that will go with animal print shoes. But they are attractive,…
The Look: The collection of crisscrossing straps over the top of the foot make this an interesting looking shoe. The lack of a substantial heel is all the prevents this from being pretty enough for dates. As well, the heel is a wedge which relegates it to the more casual situations usage. The Fit: You’d…
The Look: Shades of the west and the fringe cut in leather worn by both the cowboys and the Indians with a rope look wedge heel. It’s a charming looking sandal, obviously for casual wear, perhaps accenting a pair of blue jeans. The Fit: Not bad for a half size up, though the heel cup…
The Look: I do like the way it looks. The flat, rope look cabling has a certain aesthetic that’s very appealing. Add in an interesting design across the top of the foot and it’s a pretty sandal. Unfortunately, adding the foot turns this around a bit. The main problem actually shows up in careful consideration…
