I must be dreaming. A perfect black staple of a shoe does not have to be boring if it’s made with stingray! Only exotic could make something so essential feel so exciting. With a cut that flatters and a heel that makes you a whopping 5.5″ taller (thank god for that hidden platform), this is a definite must in everyone’s closet. In fact, this totally versatile and multi-seasonal Giuseppe Zanotti sling-back peep-toe will cover about 90% of your heeled needs.
So much is being done with stingray these days to make it supple. It used to be perfectly stiff and only used on flat bags and box clutches. To have it molded on a curvaceous shoe such as this is really incredible. Equally incredible is the price – you would except to see a sticker in the thousands for such a remarkable exotic, so the cost seems eerily low. Wait, was there a recent shoe price conference, like OPEC, at which they decided to just lower shoe prices across the board? Whoever is responsible, I am in love with her! (Surely, she must be a woman!). Well heeled has never been so cheap! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $595.
(Update: I just got pinched, these are NOT stingray, it is stingray textured linen. Disappointing but mystery solved!).
Pair with: The possibilities are endless, but something else you won’t want to take off? Finn‘s delicate diamond knot “Love” ring – no woman should be without at least a little diamond twinkle on her digits. At Barneys New York for $3,200.
