Keen-eyed followers of ShooClub may have noticed a distinct lack of posts recently. There are several practical reasons for this (moving to a new job, moving to a new country, pondering the conundrum of the stiletto-heeled hiking boot.) But the real reason is ideological. I am trying to avoid Uggs. Yes, I know they are as comfortable as a favourite armchair, but they are also as flattering to wear. Nuff said.
Here, to kick off 2011, I present the anti-Ugg.
These amazing gold crackle-finish leather ankle boots caught my eye in South Molton Street a week ago. The heels are shiny black pyramids, rounded at the back and tapering to a dinky stiletto point. But as they are just a couple of inches high, they are comfortable as – well, a gorgeous gold leather armchair.
They're a little bit Marc Jacobs, a little bit Alison Mosshart in Dior Homme (see above – thank you watchingtheimages), and just a little bit inexplicably Elvis...
But they are actually from Office. Twenty quid in the sale.
2011 rocks.

ReplyDeleteThey are (or, rather, were) Office. I'm not sure you'll find them again anywhere, but here's the Office website: http://www.office.co.uk/ Good luck!
