Restricted ‘Bookworm’ high heel brogues

high heeled brogue shoes

As someone who spends a large part of her life with her nose stuck in a book (When it isn’t stuck in the computer/a shoe shop, obviously), I was always going to be interested in a pair of shoes called “Bookworm”. And as a shoe lover, I wasn’t dissapointed: there’s definitely something “bookish” about brogues, but these ones by Restricted aren’t remotely nerdish – instead, they give off a bit of a “sexy librarian” vibe, if you’ll forgive the cliché! They’re just begging to be worn with a pencil skirt, a tight bun, and a pair of cat’s eye glasses, don’t you think? Before I venture even further down this cliché-ridden road, here are some details about the shoes themselves: these have leather uppers, a 5″ heel, and a 1″ concealed platform, they’re $79.99 and they’re available at Heels.com.

The brown pair would undoubtedly be the more practical choice, but I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the pink version. What do you think?

  • They look so nice! And yes, the pink ones are lovely! Also, it’s better that they are not suede, but nubuk, I think, but you know what? There’ll be an Indian summer from this week on, according to BBC! Immediately I thought of you! (I know it’s good for the challenge and I also know everybody loves sunny days!)

  • Hmm…has anything changed on Shoeperwoman? I’m having problems viewing your page now. I can read your posts if I click on via here one by one but if I go to the webpage I get to see all the posts for a while, then my screen freezes for a bit, then I can then scroll down a bit more and then the page reloads itself but is then blank! It’s all very odd! Oh well…I shall have visit post by post via here I suppose! LOL!

    • Hi Sandy, could you possibly sent me an email with the browser you are using and the version number. For IE and Firefox this is under Help menu, and choose “About…”. For chrome it is spanner then “about Google Chrome”.

      With that information I can start to take a look at the issue you are having and see if there is something on the new version of the site that is causing it.

      My email is terry@hotigloo.co.uk

  • Oh..how weird….I posted a reply here this morning but now it’s gone! Email sent tho, thank ye!

  • The more I look at them, the cuter they get. I like the brown; the pink is too matronly.

    You’re a big reader, hmm? Any chance that we could get a book blog from you? Haha, a girl can dream.
