If I had to choose my favorite type of dress shoes, lace-ups would be it. There's something about an upper vamp pulled together by laces, a strong toe and versatility that speaks to me. Plus, they are easier to pull off with say, jeans, when you're in the mood for a more casual look.
When I buy shoes these days, I'm looking for something different, something unique. It can be really simple with a detail that stands out and I'm pretty sold - unless of course, it's uncomfortable or doesn't conform to your feet the way you would like it to.You know, the other aspects of shoe buying that isn't as exciting.
The pair from Marni caught my eye with its sandal cut and weave. A modern update on the classic lace-up design. It's subtle yet apparent to those in the know - a great example of intimate detail. The weave is simple and yet striking enough to make an impression.
This will look outstanding be it for work or play. And the gap from the weave detail will expose just the slightest hint of your socks. Or if you have enough attitude, try going sockless and expose a sliver of skin. No better time to do it than in Spring and Summer.
The color is another draw for me - blue with hits of grey and a slight greenish hint. I sure don't have a color like that in my shoe wardrobe. The only thing left to do is to see if it's comfortable...
