High Heels from Gucci - A dash of gold

Sunday April 6, 2008 

gucci-gold.gifGucci has always been known for class and style, and this example from the spring/summer ‘08 line does not disappoint!

The “bootie” type shoe was big last fall. Especially that one lace up shoe-boot-heel in tweed and gray gracing the pages of Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.

I don’t know about you, but all those grey tweed shoes found me wishing a brand would walk down the runway with a little pizazz, a little flair. Something that didn’t scream “dowdy librarian that happens to be wearing heels.” But still, something I could wear to work if I had an event to attend straight afterward. (Okay, maybe not an event…maybe just drinks with the girls, but I still want to look fab!)
Gucci has taken away the dowdy lace-up aspect of the fall and turned it into a more modern shoe that is unlike any other. With just the strip of gold in back, this can be worn to work and then transition smoothly to dinner or drinks after.

With the added support in the front for the top of your foot, you can get away with the daring height of the heel. You don’t feel like you’re walking on tiptoe when your whole foot is supported, which is why I think this is a great transition shoe that can be worn more often than a shoe with very little in the way of toe coverage.

I’m a big fan of a versatile shoe, and Gucci has really come through. Not only is it sexy, it’s professional. It can be almost anything depending on the clothing you pair them with.
