Two Warrior Lace-up Booties: YSL and Givenchy
posted by: shoesense in Boots, Givenchy Shoes, Shoe Trends, Walking Disasters, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Shoes on April 16th, 2008
To be completely honest with you, both of these booties kinda scare me. On the one hand, you have the fierce two-tone patent Yves Saint Laurent booties with a solid wood heel vaguely fashioned after a beating stick, and on the other, ominous-looking Givenchy peep-toe booties, ever-so-slightly reminiscent of a fat elephant’s trunk.
Can you imagine their dialog if they ever find themselves alone in a showroom together?
YSL: Hey, Dumbo. Whaaaaz happening?
Givenchy: Hey, who are you talking Dumbo, butt-stick?
YSL: You must spend a lot of time lacing up, lacing up, lacing up…
G.: Listen up, Pinocchio. You think you’re smart but you know what? You haven’t even got a peep-toe hole. That’s right. You’re soooo last season.
YSL: Hey, peep-show, see this patent tip? It has a lead core and it’s reinforced with industrial-grade rubber. You’re going to find that out the hard way when I step on your peeps.
G.: And you have yet to experience of the awesome fierceness of my 200-lb heels. Do you see this? Wait, let me turn around: is that better? I can crush you like a roach.
YSL: Awww. We should get married and have a small army of warrior-booties together.
….and I believe they lived happily ever after.

I kinda like the Givenchy booties – the peep toe and tiny laces give it a more feminine feel than the Yves Saint Laurent ones. I don't usually like this style, but I could try the Givenchy ones.
