Dior did this kind of cut-out wedge last season, and I must admit, I wasn’t a fan of it then, and I’m still not a fan of it now, on these lace-up boots by Alain Quilici. Of course, I’m not a fan of lace-ups at the best of times, and that’s purely a laziness thing: I had a pair of mid-calf length lace-up boots once upon a time, and I couldn’t wait to get rid of them, because I got so tired of all of the lacing and unlacing involved in wearing them. Like I say, I’m lazy.
These lose points on two counts for me, then, but if they’re you’re kind of thing – and they’re definitely different – you can buy a pair for 910 euros here.
I’m with you. That much lacing is too much hard work. I don’t like the heel either.
Meh… I’m not into that whole dominatrix look, and I don’t like the cut out on these either. I’ve seen shoes that the cut out thing really works on, but on these I can’t help seeing a normal heel and sole and then just something stuck to it.
I saw boots like this in a Wynter Gordon music video except they were calf height, the heel was much thinner and more spiky and the frame was not platform. They were way better looking than this boot. Those I would buy. This is a not so great imitation of that boot. I wish I could find those boots!!!!
