You know that the popularity of platform stilettos is on the wane when even Casadei, one of the most platform-happy brands in fashion, starts to shy away from them and incorporate more shoes where your feet stay firmly planted on the ground. Well, the fronts of your feet, anyway. Casadei Fall 2011 is full of stilettos, just as expected.

None of these shoes are absolutely knocking me off my feet, but I do like almost all of them quite a bit, particularly the staid camel pump with a surprise detail on the metal heel. That’s a great touch to update a classic look for a modern customer, and if the remainder of the fall collection includes subtle flourishes like that one, Casadei’s going to find itself with a lot of new customers.
