Versace Intrecciata metal platform sandals and python cutout boots

 

Versace Intrecciata metal p Versace Intrecciata metal platform sandals and python cutout boots

Wow. Those are some heels, no?

As much as I love my heels, I have to admit that even I baulk slightly at the thought of trying to walk in these two shoes from Versace’s Spring/Summer collection, although I’d love to give it a go, if only to find out what it’s like to be tall for once. The heels on both styles come in at 7 inches: the platforms, meanwhile, are 3″, making them taller than some stilettos.  I reckon they’re probably amongst the highest “fashion” shoes around at the moment (by which I mean simply “non-fetish wear, and not designed for actual strippers”), and although the boots have already appeared in a few fashion editorials, I’ll be curious to see how many people will actually take on the challenge of wearing them. I’d guess probably not many outside of celebrity circles!

What do you think of these shoes? Would you wear them? If so, both styles are available at Net-a-Porter, where you’ll pay a cool £1,925 for the shoes and £1,370 for the “boots”.

Versace turquoise demi-wedge sandals

versace turquoise sandals Versace turquoise demi wedge sandalsVersace have produced some stunning shoes over the past few seasons, and now that some of those styles are starting to filter through onto designer discount site, Yoox.com, it’s a very dangerous time indeed for the Shoeper bank balance.

These gorgeous turquoise sandals are sold out in everything but my size, UK 4, and if I was a little richer, I’d probably take that as A SIGN to snap them up. I’m not rich, though, and these are £315, so they’ll have to remain on the site, for someone else to snap up. Maybe one of my readers? If so, you can buy them here - they’re also available in cream, and in a UK size 7.

Versace patent leather platform pumps

versave platform pumps Versace patent leather platform pumpsYes, yes, I know what I was just saying about huge platforms . And I also know that these are “just” plain black pumps. I happen to think they’re rather nice ones, though, and I’d also like to congratulate Versace for going with a blue sole rather than a red one.

(Aside: don’t you think that coloured soles, no matter what the colour, really add something to a shoe? It’s such a simple touch, but it instantly makes the shoe look more expensive, and if a designer sticks to the same colour it’s also an easy way to get your brand across without having to resort to sticking tacky logos everywhere. Yes, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, I AM looking at you…)

(Another aside: I’ve just realised that I actually HAVE a pair of black Versace pumps which… wait for it… have a tiny little logo on the front, on a metal bar. So I fail.)

(No more asides now. I’ll stop that.)

With all of that said, at $738, these are a lot more than I’d personally pay for them, but if you’re happy with the price, you can buy them at Neiman Marcus.

Versace black patent t-bar peep toe platform shoes

verseace t strap shoes Versace black patent t bar peep toe platform shoesAs a shoe brand, Versace tends to have a slightly lower profile than some of the other Italian design houses, but they’ve had a few stand-out shoes over the past couple of years, and I think this is another one. On paper, these are just black patent t-straps, which doesn’t sound too exciting. In person, though, they’re very sleek and sexy looking, and while they’ll still be as versatile as any other black peep toe, they have that certain something about them that makes me, at least, look twice.

They’re $655 and you can buy them at Saks.
