Clergerie Dominatrix Sandals

Last time I scored a pair of designer shoes on deep discount, I talked about how I have a tendency to give my shoes nicknames.

Well, I’ve done it again.  Because while poking around through a designer consignment shop this weekend, I stumbled upon these unworn wedges by Shoesense’s great guru, Robert Clergerie.

I’m afraid all the various leather loops don’t quite come through in the photos, but suffice it to say that there are enough of ‘em to have earned these shoes the nickname “The Dominatrix.”  I have a great weakness for shoes with ties around the ankle (I’ve got 4 pair that I can think of off the top of my head), and I’ve been loving the recent trend toward fetish-inspired dominatrix type shoes.  But I’m not about to go around in a 6 inch spike stiletto, so when I saw these, their siren song was too irresistible to disregard.

And so, for a mere $160, they came home with me.  I’m not sure how much they were originally, but his sandals can easily run over $500, and these whipped me into obedient purchasing so thoroughly that I’m content not to know exactly how much of a bargain they were.

See… they’ve already lived up to their new nickname.  Do I love The Dominatrix shoes?  Yes.  Yes what?!  Yes, ma’am!
