Crinkle Patent Pumps from Dolce & Gabbana

Since the season calls for a little more foot coverage than sandals and flats, peep toe pumps are a simple way to cover just enough of your pampered toes while flaunting sky-high heels as your calf workout of the day.

Patent leather turns up its crinkly nose with this pair from Dolce & Gabbana, the Patent Carla Pump in a rich red leather with a metallic sheen and 4″+ heels that will leave you trotting along with your head  in the clouds.

Padded leather insoles mean you can still wear these on those extra-long hours at the latest soiree the office, and a conical heel offers plenty of support for a break from the stiletto-anxiety that’s been troubling you lately.
