Words cannot express the range of emotions coursing through my body every time I see these shoes. Doesn't matter who they're on, they simultaneously steal my heart and melt my face off. I can't stand Katy Perry, but I applaud her (or her stylist) every time I see her wearing these. What I love most about these is the teeny-tiny, towering, ankle-breaking stiletto heels look SO much taller than they really are (6"!) and they just
do it for me, and that's all there is to it. Let's take a look:
Giuseppe Zanotti Bow Platform Sandal in Fuchsia available at
Elyse Walker ($895),
Amazon ($895),
Endless ($895)
Then we have these, which look pretty similar on an angle, but the heel is a bit more standard:
Luichiny "Ready Or Not" in Pink available at
Heels ($89.99)
Dollhouse "Flaunt" in Fuchsia available at
Dollhouse ($42.00)
The Zanottis win this time in the overall looks department, but no way will I ever afford that price tag! What do you think?
You know, the "ready or not"s are so close I don't know that I would miss the real deal, even though the angle of the heel is less dramatic. Great find!
ReplyDeleteAh, but the angle of the arch is exactly what makes it such a brilliant design. The additional design features of moving the heel forward, curving up the toe, and placing the ankle strap a little higher than usual increases the height to length ratio, making them look so impossibly vertical. And they *are* very high! The heels on my wife's Size 39s measures over 19cm tall -- That's 7½ inches! Ladies, if you don't break your neck wearing them, you'll be watching us men snap ours, as we crane to get a closer look!
ReplyDeleteReally? I *thought* they looked a lot higher, but the measurements at Elyse Walker said 6 inches! Somebody was slackin'...
