Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious by now that I have an ongoing obsession with wedge shoes of all types, but, as winter approaches, with wedge boots in particular. It used to be the case that wedges were viewed as a slightly “sensible” option in footwear, but these days the wedge has suddenly gotten sexy, with designers realising that they can use all of that extra heel to create the most wonderful shapes and silhoettes.
It’s the silhoette that makes me love these Bottega Veneta ankle boots. The fabric, however, I’m not quite so sure about: I’m rather struggling to see the practicality of a pair of satin boots, espeically ones with a £445 price tag, but if you have just the place to wear such a thing, click here to buy them from Net-a-Porter.
I’m a big fan of wedges and I agree, that’s a lovely shape to the heel, but satin boots? that’s an odd combination and very much impractical.
I’m not liking the satin, even though I normally love most Bottega Veneta. I do like the shape of the heel, however.
I think they’d be super-lovely in suede… although probably just as impractical for winter.
I love wedges but… I just don’t like these much.
Beautiful heel, very sensual with those feminine curves! The satin adds to this too, but indeed it might not be your most practical choice.
