The green colour was the thing that drew my attention to Fendi’s Gothic Romans platforms, but once my attention had been duly grabbed, there was plenty there to hold it, because as well as the fabulous colour, these shoes also have an unusual, sculpted platform sole which uses two different types of wood. The leather uppers also have a snake print for added texture, plus cutout details, just in case all of that wasn’t quite enough for you.

I think these are shoes that look better on than they do in the photo: if you don’t believe me, just click here to see them on the Net-a-Porter model, or to order them for £875.
