Fashion Week Shoes: Miu Miu Spring 2011

Miu Miu 4 200x198 Fashion Week Shoes: Miu Miu Spring 2011I can’t remember the last time I saw a Miu Miu shoe that I didn’t like, but there were definitely a few in the Miu Miu Spring 2011 runway show. Don’t worry, though – the good outweighed the bad by far, as it usually does with anything to which Miuccia Prada gives her stamp of approval.

I would love to have every single pair of the multicolored, non-intuitive, spectator-aping Mary Janes from this collection in my closet right now. They’d jazz up a bland outfit in an instant, and they all looked incredibly wearable. Unfortunately, the collection lost me when the shoes got a tad taller – tacking on a lace-up ankle sock to a shoe that is rightfully a regular pump does not an interesting piece of footwear make. In fact, at those heights, the materials tended to look a bit cheap, which no one should ever say about shoes this expensive. Still, the half of the collection that I loved makes me forgive the other half.

    Loving all the bright colors! I like the collection overall, but I agree about the ankle pieces. It’s too bad because without that extra part the shoes could be a lot more attractive.

    I love the collection. Too bad that I can’t wear shoes with those high heels. I would love it.

    The colours really add that extra wow factor.

    The collection is stunning…overall. The astute design, geometric aesthetic, and striking colors all add up to a beautiful pair of shoes! What I can’t stomach is the stacked, buckled ankle straps that look like they’re squeezing the life out of the feet! If 5’10 models with size 0 ankles are barely getting the buckles on (picture 25 in particular!), how are the rest of us supposed to wear these otherwise glorious creations?

    the hue colors are fantasic, very hot in this season. half of it definitely elegant , but the ither half gives me doubt

    the shoes themselves are beautiful but the colours…at first i liked the 2nd picture but i thought to myself “what would i wear with that?” and i thought about white dresses, black dresses etc etc but the more i tried pairing the shoes with an outfit the more dumbfounded i was.
    The shoes themselves would get a 8 or even 9 out of 10 from me but the colours DROWN them to a 2 and i still feel as though im being generous!

    Maybe they look better up close…

    Most are so cute, but the ankle pieces look like ankle corsets to me, and I can just imagine how flattering that would be on my foot/leg.

    Im loving no 22 but some of those mary jane prints look a bit Pucci esque. And the full neon greens and pinks are not my style.
