That Slingback-Peep-Toe-Oxford-High-Heel-Thingie

What’s its name? It was just on the tip of my tongue. I guest the gods of onomastics must not be with me today.
You know what I’m talking about:
They’re these new hybrids that fuse approximately 51 trends into one, which could be practical, you know: in one shoe, you hit all the new spring trends! Clockwise from the top:
- Christian Louboutin “Sometimes Lace-up Sandals”–4 1/2 inch heel, platform, and tassels, $860 at Saks;
- Jimmy Choo “Evita” sandal, $1000+ (see their website for more details);
- Manolo Blahnik heels-$900+–call their NY Store for availability;
- Nine West “Heathers”–which I’ve already blogged about–for a fraction of the price of any of the above (about $90).
I have the suspicion that none of these styles would look that good in a low/flat heel, and since wearing the 4″+ heels is out of the question for me, I’m afraid I’ll have to pass on this trend. Not without a pang of jealousy, though, for those of you who can trot merrily in these styles.

I'm a big fan of HIGH high heels – I'm comfortable trotting around in a 4" heel on a daily basis… so it's not the heel of those shoes that puts me off. I guess I just don't like the shoes themselves… they remind me too much of those ridiculous peep toe booties that Lindsay Lohan was wearing last year. I love oxford high heels… but turn them into a sandal, and I think they lose a lot of their preppy classic-ness.

These psuedo oxymoron style might just pave the way for other designs in the near future. Theres a designer by the name of Nicholas Kirkwood which has been getting some press for his unique styles (and he didn't have to squeeze 5 into one for a gladiator stiletto platform peep toe)

I've actually been tempted by the Taryn Rose Cheval, on Piperlime, that is of the same family:

But maybe a bit more comfortable…

So this is the hybrid between bootie angle boot and sandals ? Intersting fashion. I don't know if I am able to walk with these uber high heels. But, I do love the Louboutin heels with the red bottom.
