Great lower-end brand of shoes...


Posted by Dain, Wednesday, November 23, 2005 12:28 PM (Eastern)

It's called Valerie Stevens, and they've got a great range of festive styles (as well as some classic styles). They're well made (better than, say, Steve Madden or BCBG Girls which are of comparable price), and they look really good on the feet. My feet, at least. The arch matches perfectly (the only other brand that does this for me is Dolce & Gabbana), so no matter how high the heel, you can dance all night without a problem. They do seem to tend towards the decorative (very Prom) and slightly quirky, but I'm fond of shoes that make a statement, so no worries here. If I could compare them to any high-end brand, the style is much like Lacroix (their fondness for embellishment) with the clean lines of Jean-Michel Cazabat, and the arch of Dolce & Gabbana. Two styles I want to get: Tile in red, highly decorated material, but the clean lines of a mule, adds punch to plain trousers, and Crystal in black velvet, a superhot gladiator style-sandal with (you guessed it) crystal embellishments, black velvet strappy style.

In fact, I'll just get the Crystal and be happy.
