shoes from heaven

My significant other and I have a lot in common. In fact, I used to call him the male me. One place where our interests diverge however, is an enthusiasm for fashion. He is perfectly satisfied with Dickies, flannels, and Rebel 8 t-shirts every day(which actually works really well for him.) But, because he's a cool ass dude, he tries to take an interest in what interests me. The other day he asked me, "If you could buy any expensive shoe in the world, what would it be?"

TOUGH QUESTION.

I believe I said something about it being too hard to choose but that I was currently lusting after Giuseppe Zanotti's wedge boots:

(Angular perfection!)

or maybe those Jimmy Choo's that light up with every step you take:

(at rest)

(in motion)
...because deep at heart I am extraordinarily tacky.

But then. I stumbled across these. They released the Acne Atacoma in blue! Like a year ago! I have NO idea how I slept on this!!!

AAAAHHHH! Heavenly.

Here they are in action:


I have the Jeffrey Campbell version of the black/silver ones, which I still pretty much live in, almost a year later. But shit, I'd pay the $600 for these beasts. Something about the colors...I just adore them!

WWKD?

Pretty sure solestruck.com exists solely to bankrupt me. I mean....

The Mary Roks in white and silver? HOLD THE M-F'ING PHONE!!! For some reason I've always loved white leather/leather-like things. Probably because they're kind of an unexpected opposite of the standard black leather (which I also love, but that's a whole topic unto itself) While I love the silver platform, I'm also a little wary of it, because of what happened to my Alexas. It's nothing super major, but after only a couple wears the silver part got a little wrinkly and scrunched at the bottom by the sole.

Speaking of still-expensive Acne rip-offs, I'm also really digging these Senso booties:

$200

vs

Acne "Admire" bootie:

$690

Solestruck is also carrying the Jeffrey Campbell Meeker boot, which comes in taupe:

and black:

I adore this boot, and what JC has been doing with negative space lately, but I kind of feel like this is a shoe I'd want to try on before buying. Looks like the ankle area could be a little unflattering on a shorty like me.

So I will probably treat myself to one these, since I'm just getting my tax return now (I filed late)

But wheeeeeeech? Probably the Mary Roks because they're cheapest. Hmmm. What Would Kelly Do?
