Frame sandals by United Nude
Sam Edelman Nevyn Gladiator Architectural Platform
When I first saw these shoes, I was absolutely sure they were by Nicholas Kirkwood. Mind you, I find myself saying that a lot these days, so maybe I just spend too much time thining about Mr Kirkwood’s fabulous designs, hmm?
These are actually by Sam Edelman, though, and the good news about that is it makes them a little more affordable than a Kirkwood shoe. The bad news is that they’re still not exactly “cheap” at £165, but I think they’re rather special, and if you do too, you may just find them worth the price.
Of course, some of you will be groaning aloud right now at the gladiatr influences on these. We saw a lot of that kind of thing last year – a LOT of it – and it’s not to everyone’s taste. These are definitely to my taste, though: I think they’d make a fabulus summer sandal or evening shoe. Get them at My-Wardrobe.

United Nude Block Hi pumps in red
United Nude are famous for their architectural – and, er, furniture – inspired styles, and this shoe is no exception. Designed by architect Rem D Koolhaas, they’re shown here in Fluo Red, but they come in a range of other colours, and are also available with a mid heel.
United Nude is yet another one of those brands that tends to split opinions. I love these, although I probably wouldn’t buy them. What do you think of them?

Proenza Schouler sculpted architectural heeled sandals
Hmm. These heels remind me of something, I’m just not sure what it is. Anyone?
So-called “architectural” heels are another trend we’ve been seeing a whole lot of over the past few years, and Proenza Schouler have been one of the brands who’ve embraced the look wholeheartedly (when their designers aren’t busy fighting off Kiefer Sutherland, obviously).
I like the look of these heels (which doesn’t necessarily mean I’d wear them), but could definitely live without the synthetic fur on the toes. I’ve never met a furry shoe I’ve liked yet, and I’m not about to start with these ones, but if you think you’d like to give them a shot, they’re $799 from Zappos Couture.
