Ask the Shoeblogger: Alejandro Ingelmo Pony Boots

Hi there- if you guys could possibly help ID these shoes, I would greatly appreciate it!!! I saw these amazing platform boots on the Bergdorf website- a model is wearing the shoes in the Haider Ackermann Bonded Leather Leggings posting but I can’t find the shoes anywhere on the site. The shoes can be found here.

Thank-you!

Best,
T

Hi T!

It took a little bit of research, but I’m pretty sure I’ve found your mystery boots (shown in the center column between the two original model shots that started this shoe hunt).

LAMB vs. Dollhouse & Type Z

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell when a style is simply inspired by recent trends rather than a knockoff of a specific designer’s shoe.

Not so in this case.

Behold spring’s ‘Joelle’ from the LAMB shoe line.

LAMB ‘Joelle’ $383 $251.99 via Heels.com , $208.45 via Endless.com & $195 via Zappos.com

Robert Clergerie clearance styles

I’m not certain exactly how I feel about Robert Clergerie’s shoe designs. Clergerie shoes tend to be playful -  with unusual sole designs and non-typical silhouettes.

They are interesting styles, but I’m not sure I would find myself actually wearing them very often. Let’s say that I like them, but that for whatever reason, they don’t  ‘feel like me’.

But, if you, unlike me, are wont to wear chunky, funky or mod-styled shoes that stand out from the crowd , some of these sale-priced Clergerie shoes might be your perfect match.

Robert Clergerie ‘Mannor’ $395 $118.30 at 6pm.com and $217.77 at Endless.com

Robert Clergerie ‘Monday’ $450 $135.10 at 6pm.com

Robert Clergerie ‘Houle’ $625 $241.20 at 6pm.com and $343.72 at Endless.com

Robert Clergerie ‘Diof’ $565 $339 at 6pm.com & $310.72 at Endless.com

Robert Clergerie ‘Dahra’ $684 $411 at 6pm.com

Robert Clergerie ‘Frofro’ $694.95 $333 at Zappos.com and Endless.com

I do appreciate designers who buck trends.  I suspect that in the case of Clergerie, I just haven’t found my own ideal shoe-match yet – Although, that  ‘Dahra’ d’orsay wedge does comes awfully close.

Spot the Shoe on Sale: Marc by Marc Jacobs Part 2

6pm.com Sale: Up to 80% off LAMB, Zanotti, & more

I don’t usually like the phrase “Go, Shop, Save” since it normally involves a lot more spending to ‘get’ the supposed ‘saving’ of money. But, at 80% off of some items this is a great time to look and see if any of the items that were unreachable at $100, $300, $400 are now within reasonable prices for those of us on serious budgets.

My recurring crush, the Harajuku Lovers ‘Paley’ is 20 bucks – yes, $20. Can we say, ‘Insane and tempting clearance prices!’ Holy cow, Christmas may be affordable after all.

This LAMB ‘Hip’ oxford also caught my eye at $120 down from $400. I love sexy oxfords for fall and winter outfits. There are also about 2 dozen other LAMB styles (Primarily hot, strappy sandals) on clearance as well.

And, let’s not forget Giuseppi Zanotti. This Giuseppi Zanotti E90172 is a great strappy platform that needs an appreciative home. This baby is $175 – down from $875 original retail. Check out the 6pm.com sale for even more styles.

So, what are you waiting for? These 6pm clearance specials tend to sell out quickly!
