It is not unusual for us to browse through Harper's Bazaar Magazine to keep up with trends. But really, an ankle boot (bootie) with a 4" (5"?) spike heal and a peek-a-boo toe? This one is by Dolce and Gabbana ($750). Well, that really doesn't pass our practicality test. Maybe they would work as "Limo shoes" (from the limo to the club that is…).
Instead we offer a couple of alternatives:
Cole Haan has a new shoe called the Air Elly. The "air" part of this may sound familiar – (hint: Air Jordan). Yes, Nike Air Technology is built into this very fashionable Cole Haan shoe. Check out the Air Elly Mary Jane for under $200. We found this shoe in the February 2008 edition of Lucky magazine.
Maybe our practical side is showing, but Lucky magazine has a two page spread of boots in their January issue (p. 79 and 80). Every one of the boots would meet our style and practical tests.
Croc is expanding their product offerings (and there is a Crocs store at the Round Rock Premium Outlet Mall). In the meantime, they are getting some interesting competition from Skechers. Skechers is advertising washable, light-weight, anti-microbial… (This sounds like a Croc to me!). The line from Skechers appears to be a dressed up version of the original Croc – so Skechers are a little behind the curve from our perspective. We'll have to drop by the Outlet see if the new Croc lines have arrived.
