I think these shoes deserve to be called “OHYES” rather than “OHNO”, don’t you? OK, that was a bad joke, but they’re not a bad pair of shoes: in fact, given how rarely I find myself attracted to a pair of mid-height heels (these come in at 3.5″), they’re really a pretty GOOD pair, if you ask me.
Of course, I’m probably always going to be a sucker for this shade of blue, which is always guaranteed to make we want to take a closer look, whatever it’s attached to. In this case, what it’s attached to is a pair of pretty little court shoes, with a slingback heel and oversized bow. The colour makes them stand out, but I also love the elegant shape, which will work for dressy occasions as well as more casual ones.
These are by Rocket Dog, they’re £49, and they’re also available in black: click here to buy them from Spartoo.
Do they look like denim to anyone but me?
I think what sends it more in the canvas direction than denim direction for me is the uniformity of color and the flop of the bow.
Rocketdog is one of my favourite shoe brands – their pumps and boots in particular are great and super comfy. Never really fallen in love with any of their heels, but these are lovely!
The shape to me seems a bit old fashioned. Maybe I need to see them on.
