While these were originally priced at some $800, I closely kept watch until they dropped to a much deserved $381, and worth every penny. I saw them first in Vogue a few months back and knew that I had to get my satin glove covered fingers on them. It certainly takes a bold fashion type to wear them, and someone that wishes to be over 5 inches taller than normal, so a strong center of balance is required.

But they are indeed originals and far more beautiful in person that in the picture, which is the consensus of all those that have been around me to see them first hand. They offer an ornately-detailed baroque relief sculpture on the platform, in a classic champagne color, and the ankle and toe straps are black patent leather. Being produced by the famous designer Miu Miu, comfort is at the top of the list for these beauties.

Around the blog sites, they are definitely a love 'em/hate 'em shoe, and having them in my closet, I certainly love them and recommend them to all.
