Sebastian ‘Porpora’ court shoes, £398
I think “vampy” is probably the best word to describe these shoes, don’t you?
Now, I know what you’re thinking. There can be a very thin line between “vampy” and “trampy” (Oh, don’t look at me like that, you know it’s true…), and all too often, a red stiletto – especially one with such a slim, high heel – can stray too far across that line. I think the reason these ones don’t is because of the colour: a very bright red would be just a little too much on a shoe this sexy, but this darker, more sophisticated shade of red will be much easier to wear.
Unfortunately I can’t promise those heels will be anything like “easy” to wear: they’re 5.9″ high, and are a true stiletto – very thin, and rather dangerous looking. Thankfully, they’re matched with a high platform, so at least you won’t feel like you’re almost 6″ higher than usual. Or that’s the theory, anyway…

My god, those look positively lethal to walk in. I’m not sure if I’d be brave enough for those…
I positively adore the shape of these.
