Proenza Schouler Multicolour High Heel Sandals

These shoes are really quite something, aren’t they?

They’re not the kind of “something” that would make me want to rush out and buy them, say, but they are the kind of something that makes me think they deserve to be seen by my lovely readers, so here they are!

These have an almost tribal feel to them (or the fashion-world’s idea of “tribal”, anyway), with the loooong ankle strap and the fringing at the top. Add in the red, blue and orange colourway, and I think these will definitely be one of the more unusual pairs of shoes I’ll be showing you, this week at least.

What do you think of them, though? They’re $1,195 (ouch!), they’re by Proenza Schouler, and you can click here to buy them from Shopbop.

Proenza Schouler’s leather platform ankle boots

proenza scouler Proenza Schoulers leather platform ankle boots

Hallelujah! It’s a pair of boots that DON’T have a peep toe, or, indeed, any other strange, cut-out bits. And I realize that, at first glance, they do LOOK a bit like they have a peep toe, on account of that patent toe cap, but trust me: Shoeperwoman would not guide you wrong on this most important of issues.

BUT. They remind me of a chair. You know, with that sticky-out heel? No? Is no one else seeing it? Am I alone in seeing chairs where there should be shoes?

Well, chair-like or not, I think these are nice enough, but not £850 of “nice”, so I won’t be buying. If you will be, you can do it at Net-a-Porter.

Proenza Schouler sculpted architectural heeled sandals

proenza schouler heels 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.
