Here at Talkshoes, the Miu Miu Studded Suede Ankle Boots seem to be causing some friction between me and Megs. It was a typical day at the office: we are all gathered around the table, talking and trying to formulate our next posts while awaiting the anticipated tornado that was said to be coming for the Big Apple. As we were all fumbling on our computers, I come across these Miu Miu shoes and I say to the team: “Look at these clunky-looking things.” Megs then turned around and said, “Ah, I was just looking at those and I kinda like them.” So, our fashion battle begins… Read More…

By now, you’ve all seen the sneaker wedges by Isabel Marant, Giuseppe Zanotti, Ash and a million others that have had the fashion industry buzzing with fashion-meets-function glee over the past season. Since the very beginning, I’ve been telling you the same ol’ thing: save your zillions of dollars and buy a good ol’ fashioned pair of Nike Dunks instead. Read More…

As you all know, I’m a huge fan of Nicholas Kirkwood and more or less everything he does. The details of his work are some of the most meticulous in the industry, and not only does he design a great avant-garde shoe, but his basics are pristine as well.

Resembling the look of a high-top sneakers with laces and rubber soles, from the front it is hard to tell that these are wedges. Read More…

Who needs love when you can have a Casadei pump? As Fergie suggests in her song “Labels or Love,” after a weekend of rejection, from here on out I am choosing labels over love. While trying to mend my broken heart I came across these Casadei Studded Heel Platform Pumps and immediately, my hopes began to shoot up. What can’t a little online shopping fix? Read More…

At one time or another, we have all uttered the deadly phrase: “My feet are KILLING me.” There are several instances where I’ve chosen vanity over comfort, and I wanted to kick myself every single time. I feel like Monica from Friends in the episode when she tried to justify to Chandler the benefits of owning a beautiful and expensive pair of boots, only to want to amputate her feet when she realized the pain that the darn boots caused.

Occasionally I pop over to TalkShoes and wax poetic about how much I love shoes. Once in a while, that love borders on obsessive. Like, can’t-breathe, can’t-think, can’t-sleep must not stop until I own them obsessive. When I’m huddled in a corner, Google-ing a pair at 4 AM instead of sleeping, I know I’ve found a winner. Right now, the winner is the Givenchy Lace-Up Kitten Heel. Read More…
