Salvatore Ferragamo Sea Studded Leather Bow Pumps, £538.22
I’ll be honest: I’ve never really “got” the hype about Salvatore Ferragamo, or why so many women covet this brand’s shoes. I’m assuming they must be very well-made, given the price they tend to sell for, and I know the flats in particular are considered a classic, but – and this may well be controversial – to me they’ve always looked a bit like little old lady shoes, which is why I rarely ever feature them here.
These ‘Sea’ pumps, however, are a different story. They do have a fairly “sensible” shape (I know “sensible” is the wrong word for a 4″ heel, but something about the silhouette of the shoe, and the shape of the bow, gives off that vibe), but it would be a pretty bad-ass little old lady who’d wear shoes covered in studs (one day I hope to be just such an old lady!), and that vamp goes a long way towards making feel a little more contemporary.
Would I spend £538 on them? Not a chance. With that amount of money to spend on shoes, I’d be headed straight to Louboutin or Miu Miu for sure. These have made me like Salvatore Ferragamo a little more than I did, which is why they’re appearing here today.
What do you think of these?
Every now and then, SF come out with something like this which makes me love them even more. I know what you mean about the “old lady” style they usually do though. However, I do have a pair of their flats and they are truly excellent.
