If you’re not familiar with Walter Steiger, believe me – it’s time to get acquainted. Steiger has been making shoes, many with the signature curved heel you see above, since 1932, but not until Walter’s grandsons Paul and Giulio Steiger joined the company recently did the brand move back onto the high-fashion radar. The heel makes their designs a standout, of course, but there’s a lot to love about Steiger beyond just that curve.

Today, the first thing you should love about the brand is the fact that the totally wearable, neutral, luxurious Walter Steiger Snakeskin Strappy Sandal is on sale at Barneys. It’s not just any sale, though; this shoe is marked down to $369 from a whopping $935. For real snakeskin, people! At press time, both sizes 6 and 9 remain.

If you’re curious about the heel and want to see if it’s for you (from what I hear, it’s no more difficult to walk in than a straight heel of the same height), this is the perfect time to give Steiger a try. Pick up these shoes via Barneys for $369.

When it comes to making a black pump, only so many things can be adjusted: finish, heel height and girth, platform heigh, vamp line and embellishment. Christian Louboutin already has the sole game locked up, with other designers trailing behind him to find new ways to innovate from that angle. So what sets the Walter Steiger Curved Heel Pumps apart? Well, I think that’s obvious.

I am an enormous fan of this shoe and Steiger’s signature curvaceous heel in general, and it gives the standard black pump just enough of a twist to make it distinctive. What say you? Play our weekly game of Fill in the Blank or pick this shoe up at Barneys for $750.
