Alexander McQueen is fast becoming one of my very favourite boot makers. In fact, it’s probably a good thing for me that his shoes tend to be too expensive to even contemplate, or I’d have bankrupted myself by now. (I’d have a fantastic collection of boots to show for it, though.)

These red ankle boots have everything I like to see in a boot: a great colour, a high heel, a concealed platform, a couple of buckles to toughen them up a bit… Oh, and a $1,095 price tag. Prohibitively expensive for me, then, but if that seems perfectly affordable to you, you can buy them from the Alexander McQueen website.
