//// Eksoskeletal legs

Posted on | May 13, 2010 | 3 Comments

My heel accident made me look flat shoes from new angle. I had been stalking a pair of high top sandals in Brandos last summer, but they sold out in my size before I got to the actual decision point. Considering these two things and –30% sale coupon to Ellos it did not take too long to actually go for these Bronx ones. For 62€ price tag for a leather sandal I think they are rather difficult to pass.

One detail that slightly bugs me in these is the distribution of those straps on the ankle — but I can live with that. Overall I’m very happy with the design — the strappy texture and the eksoskeletal structure on the front will be a nice addition to many outfits.

I also made a decision that I will never buy heels without trying them on from now on. On heels I need a decent, well balanced shoe and good touch to the ground — which means that there has to be some bend on the sole.

Oh yes, those Chanel ones were great!

I like that these are not a direct knock-off. It is always nice when high street brands do their own design effort with satisfying results!
