Which Designer Shoes to Splurge on
Having a taste for the finer things often means that you’ll pay more for the label than for the product itself. It’s merely a factor in the world of luxury shopping. But are those stunning stems really worth all the money spilling from your pockets? We’re about to let you in on all there is to know about the most iconic shoes in fashion today and if they are really worth your while.
First up is perhaps the most widely recognized shoe brand—the “bloody shoes” as Cardi calls them—or The Louboutin. This brand has crafted a vast selection of luxe, glamorous shoes guaranteed to turn heads at any event they grace. Their signature style “So Kate” is made from glossy patent leather and is offered in many shades including nude and black. This classic shoe named after Kate Moss sports a 4.7 inch heel and retails for $695.00. The shoe’s fit is comfortable and flexible. The material is cooling for long-term wear. Overall, we would definitely give the green light on these red-bottoms.
Valentino has certainly made its name in the world of fashion. Their classic “Rockstud Caged Pump” is one of our personal favorites, and it is the perfect showstopper shoe for any special occasion. It is made of patent leather and comes in a variety of different colors including nude, cream, and black. It showcases platinum-finish studs and retails for $995.00. We were surprised to discover that, at this price, the shoe itself was less than comfortable. The shoe seems to feel a bit confining and stiff. Although the overall effect is gorgeous and as recognizable as ever, you might want to make sure you are willing to overlook the pain for the beauty on this one.
Lastly, we look to Chanel. Although Chanel is not most widely known for their shoe collection, they are certainly still worth your consideration. Chanel has a reputation of classiness, elegance, and finesse. Their shoes achieve nothing less. They carry a vast selection of sneakers, sandals, and heels that instantly draw the eye. Their lambskin sandals are the perfect summery pick for a vacation in Mykonos or a pool day with friends. They are offered in a number of eye-catching shades such as red, white, and navy—all of them flaunting the classic gold-plated logo on the top. They are comfortable, flexible, and easy to adjust. They retail for $825.00. As always, shopping at Chanel comes at a high price. But in this case, we’d say it was worth it. If you are a fashion addict like us, adding this shoe to your collection is a worthy investment.
At the end of the day, designer shoes are hardly ever worth every penny. But sometimes, we allow ourselves to splurge a little more than usual for that shiny little logo on top.
