Cesare Paciotti black and gold platform pumps

I showed you the ankle boot version of these shoes back in September, and opinions about them were split. I think they’re just as striking as court shoes, and if you like your heels high, well, these could be the shoes for you: the stiletto is 5″ high, although the high platform will make it feel lower, and perhaps make them easier to walk in. I say “perhaps” – there’s just something very fragile looking about a stiletto this high, and I have a feeling my clumsy self would somehow contrive to snap it in two, but if you have more luck with these things, you can buy these at Zappos, where they’re $424.
