Miu Miu is a brand I’ve always associated with amazing, glitter-covered shoes, but these ones stand out even for them: in fact, the glitter almost pales into insignificance next to that curved heel!
There are a few different variations of this style available as part of the Fall 2011 collection, and for some reason, none of them look quite “real” to me: I think the combination of the heel shape and high vamp makes them look almost like sculptures or toys, and the shoe on the right of the image also reminds me very much of shoes from a couple of centuries ago, which I’ve occasionally seen on display in museums and suchlike. (Minus the glitter, obviously.)
Like the heel, but prefer an ankle boot? Don’t worry, Miu Miu can help you out with that, too:
So there’s a curve-heeled Miu Miu for every occasion, basically. Or for every occassion tha requires you to wear glitter on your feet, anyway.
What do you think of them, though?
All of these styles are available at Saks: click here to take a look.
I love the gold ones but the rest I don’t like much at all.
I did like the shoes – but not the heel. Reminds me of bananas…
I don’t like the shape of the heel. I can stand it on the boots, but not on the courts.
Love Miu Miu shoes, but I don’t like the style of these of the pics very much…
I am deep in love with a pair of Miu Miu, I absolutely adore them. Unfortunately mine is an unrequited love because I couldn’t find them anywhere!! Even on Ebay… Any idea to find them guys?
I know that the “cherry blossom” girl has them, aren’t they lovely?

I’m afraid all eBay is really your only hope with past season stuff … I just set up an alert so I get a notification if/when the thing is ever listed!
If you have something like a Saks Off Fifth or Neimans Last Call near you, you can sometimes pick up older stuff, but those brogue Miu Miu’s were pretty popular at the time, and they don’t tend to have stuff thta’s more than one or two seaons old.
Thanks Amber, I know it’s pretty difficult to find them, even on eBay, but I keep on my hunting 😉
I asked for them on Fraser’s but the girl there didn’t even know those Miu Miu (how could she be there selling Miu Miu shoes???????) On Sunday I am coming back to Fraser’s, I’ll ask again just in case…
Maybe some day…some place…
Big huge guys!
I like Miu Miu’s whimsy and I think the heel is great, but I really don’t like how high the vamp is. It makes them look like Minnie Mouse shoes IMO and cuts off at an ugly spot on the foot (Camilla Belle recently wore them for an on-foot pic: http://www.hellomagazine.com/imagenes/celebrities/201107205798/hailee-steinfeld-sunglasses-collection-miu-miu/0-21-904/Camilla-Bell–a.jpg). It doesn’t need toe cleavage, but a bit lower cut would be much more flattering and I would likely buy them since I’m a glitter fiend.
My favorite glitter pumps have been Christian Louboutin’s Ron Ron’s in Oxblood (http://www.polyvore.com/ron_oxblood/thing?id=13680923), which I bought out of nostalgia for when I was a little girl and pretty much exclusively wore Dorothy-red glitter mary janes. The CL version is my more sophisticated nod to that! (I also love that they are called Ron Ron’s – makes me think of the Harry Potter series, when Lavender Brown keeps calling Ron “Won Won”)
I just don’t know about the heel… it looks like it might break at any moment. I’m sure it won’t, but I can’t get that idea out of my head. Also: peep toe booties. No.
