Shoes

Dune ‘Dearest‘, £89 I’ve been really impressed by Dune’s Spring/Summer collection this year, as you might have guessed from the frequency of the brand’s appearance here. At a time when a lot of shoes are starting to feel a bit “samey” (Single-strap sandals, for instance, are hugely popular right now, but there’s only so much you can do with them before they all start to blend into each other!), Dune have managed to keep things fresh and interesting, and that’s definitely the case with these ‘Dearest’ slingacks. Floral print shoes are, of course, nothing new (especially at this time of year), but I think this might be the first time I’ve seen a metallic pair. It’s a combination that sounds like it shouldn’t really work, but I actually think the silver upper makes these slingbacks really special. A non-metallic shade would still have looked good, but the silver backdrop to the floral upper really dresses these up, and gives them a subtle sheen which is really pretty. These have a very delicate feel to them, and would be perfect for something like a summer wedding: you can’t go wrong with a good ol’ floral print in that kind of situation!

What are Roper Boots? Roper Boots have a short boot shaft that stops above the ankle but before the middle of the calf, with a very low and squared-off "roper" heel, shaped to the sole of the boot, usually less than one inch high. Roper boots are usually made with rounded toes although some do have a squared toe to keep up with the fashion. You will also notice that Roper Boots come with a lace-up design which often fits very well around the ankle making it less likely to slip off.Examples of Roper Boots include these Black Jack Stingray Roper Boots. Stunning style and on sale now. You will find this style of boot in skins such as shark, stingray as mentioned above, ostrich, elephant, goat, bullfrog and hippo.Another gorgeous pair of unique boots includes these Black Jack Elephant Roper Boots. Look at the high quality handcrafted care that is throughout the boot. To see more skins visit Tim's Boots today!

--By Kim Moshtaghi As the years progress, I have discovered it has been harder to maintain my feet. The wear and tear caused by wearing high, pointy heels has finally caught up with my feet. On one awkward day, I looked down at my feet and thought, are those really my feet? Although I invest a lot of money to make sure my feet look prim, my routine high-end pedicure with callus removal doesn’t To read the full article, click through to Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle.

Moda in Pelle, £69.95 If you’re going to name a shoe something like “Delightful”, you have to be pretty confident that it’s going to live up to its reputation. Luckily for Moda in Pelle, I don’t think they have anything to worry about with these little two-tone peep toes: they’re ‘Delightful’ by name, and I think they’re rather delightful by nature too, don’t you? These come in three different colourways: the pink and turquoise versions are shown above, and there’s also a beige with black trim, if you’re going for a more sophisticated feel. Of all of these, I think the pink version is my favourite: I like the contrast of the bold colour against the white heel and trim, and think it has a slightly fresher feel than the turquoise and tan. These have a 4.28″ heel, and a nice, slightly vintage feel about them which always goes down well with me. What do you think of them?

Schuh ‘Dirty Dancing’, £35 Polka dots and bows? Navy and red? Those are two combinations that almost always render a pair of shoes irresistible to me, as I’m sure you already know, if you’ve been reading here for a while. These shoes, however, didn’t quite do it. Oh, I love the colours and I love the dots – you can pretty much take that as read. When you add the mid-height heel, the ankle strap and the giant bow, though, I think you end up with a shoe which is a little too cartoonish for its own good: or maybe just too cartoonish to be a perfect fit for my closet. That’s not to say these won’t be a great fit for yours, though, and if you’re a fan of mid-height heels, then these shoes offer yet another opportunity to buy a pair that actually look fun, rather than frumpy. These are named after the movie Dirty Dancing, and the shape does remind me of a classic dance shoe, so I’m sure these would be comfortable if you wanted to take them out for a night of dancing, “dirty” or otherwise! If you like the shape but not the print, meanwhile, you might be interested to know that these also come in plain black, and you can find them at Schuh.

Charlotte Olympia sandals, $1,185 When I first came across these sandals, the web page was scrolled down, making it look like the sole of the shoe was completely flat. “At last!” I thought, “A pair of Charlotte Olympia shoes which don’t have the giant platform everyone seems to detest!” Then I scrolled up and yup, there it is. It was a disappointment, but only a small one: for one thing, I’ve never really had an issue with Charlotte Olympia’s trademark “island” platform, but for another, I think these shoes are pretty enough for me to forgive them just about anything. These are called ‘Rose’, for obvious reason. The high, stiletto heel forms the green stem of the flower which sits at the very top of it, and there;s also a leaf detail on the vamp, to finish off the look. It’s a very unusual look, although not nearly as “out there” as many of the designs we see from this brand. I think they’re absolutely beautiful, but there’s no doubt that Charlotte Olympia always manages to get a wide range of reactions from people, so tell me: what’s your reaction to these?

Metamorf’Ose sandals, £61.99 Metamorf’Ose is a brand that’s totally new to me, but if the cute little wedges shown above are anything to go by, I already think I’m going to like it. A lot. Red, white and blue combinations always scream “nautical” (Or “patriotic”, depending on where you come from!), and these shoes do nothing to dissuade me from describing them that way: the rope sole and braided ankle strap also have a very “seafaring” kind of feel to them, and while these would be no use at all on the ACTUAL high seas, well, you can always pretend. Ideally on dry land, where you won’t run the risk of ruining your new shoes or sliding down a slippery deck. As for what to wear with these, I think the perfect nautical shoes call for an equally perfect nautical dress, don’t you? Kate Spade ‘Mariella’ dress, $448 OK, so the dress AND shoes together might be just a little bit too literal for some of you. I’ve never let that stop me in the past, though, and I’m not about to let it stop me now, because that dress is pure perfection for a stripe addict like myself. The price, on the other hand, probably WOULD stop me, but at least the shoes are a little more affordable, at £61.99.
