Alexandre Birman Metallic Python Wedge Sandals: Worth its Weight in Gold

Golden shoes are always a summer essential once I’ve acquired a golden tan. But golden python? Alexandre Birman, you’re spoiling me! I love the cork wedge, but that trim of snakeskin on the sole is so fabulously extravagant, I can’t get over it. Unassuming cork sandwiched between decadent skin – this wedge is the ultimate neutral. I defy you to come up with something these don’t go with. White, nudes, or bright colors, these metallics could be your only shoe all summer! Well, let’s be realistic: at least the only shoes to travel with! You’ve got all your bases covered, so all you’ll need is a pair of flats for any getaway, island or urban. Perhaps a cruise on the Nile? A sculptural wedge translates to exotic – a modern day Cleopatra shoe. Smudge some dark kohl around the eyes and stack on an arm’s worth of bangles. On Net-a-Porter for $595.

Pair with: It’s more of a question of what these don’t go with. If you want to take your Egyptian queen look to the next level, Soixante Neuf‘s snake arm cuff infuses a discreet dose of serpentine drama. On ShopBop for $152.

  1. Oh my gosh! I have been on a mission to find a beautiful, hot new pair of wedges that go with everything, but nothing has jumped out at me until now. These are perfect! These will be coming to a closet near me asap.
