That Slingback-Peep-Toe-Oxford-High-Heel-Thingie
Posted on April 8th, 2008 by shoesense under Christian Louboutin Shoes, Jimmy Choo Shoes, Manolo Blahnik Shoes, Nine WestWhat’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.

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.

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

But maybe a bit more comfortable…

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’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.
