Topshop ‘Logic’ blue studded leather platform sandals, £65
I almost scrolled past these shoes when they popped up in Topshop’s ‘new in’ section yesterday morning, thinking they were much too chunky for my tastes. Something made me stop and take a closer look, though, and I’m glad I did, because while I still think they’re a good bit clunkier than I’d ideally like, that blue, glitter-effect upper is almost pretty enough to make me overlook it.
For one thing, it’s navy: that much-neglected neutral which is so often overlooked in favour of black, but which I actually prefer. Then there’s the spikes. You all know how I feel about spikes on shoes by now, don’t you? Finally, the upper itself: I’ve already mentioned the glitter effect, but I think it merits a closer look, and I really like the fact that it provides a bit of sparkle without going for all-out glitter. Did I mention the spikes on the t-bar? I have now…

Like you, I wasn’t that impressed at first but now I think I quite like them.
