If you’re a footwear fanatic who doesn’t like pointed toes, you might want to take the next couple of seasons off. Save some money! Pay for your kid’s college education! Renovate the house! Because if Reed Krakoff Fall 2011 is any indication, the recent resurgence in pointy shoes is humming along quite nicely. Krakoff took things a step further and showed a collection full of mid-calf, lace-up boots with small platforms and severe vamps, again in Krakoff’s signature neutral exotics. Read More…
