Burberry Milford Raffia Sandals, $695. Burberry Verulam Beaded Sandals, $795. Both via Net-a-Porter.

All the talk that the fashion world has been doing about the return of the non-platform pump still didn’t stop most brands from making a few for Resort 2012. Burberry in particular is still enthusiastic about the shape, with both the Burberry Milford Raffia and Leather Sandals and the Burberry Verulam Beaded Sandals hitting online retail at the same time. Is anyone else starting to feel major fatigue on shoes that look like these?

Burberry uses the same beaded treatment on much more current thick wedges for Spring 2012, but it looks like they’re taking the easy way out for resort with the beads on a sandal that should have been released two years ago. The woven raffia treatment on the other sandal looks similarly modern, but the base is something you could find on any shoe in the mall for $150. Burberry needs to come up with a more interesting platform implementation if it wants to keep doing them. Buy the woven sandal for $695 or the beaded version for $795, both via Net-a-Porter.
