Ugly Shoe of the Week: BCBGirls Crust

Kori Ellis — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 03:00:45 +0000

With a name like “Crust,” I didn’t expect this shoe to be cute. This BCBGirls shoe features a suede upper and a small peep-toe. Usually those are good qualities in footwear, but not this time. This wedge turned out just plain ugly.

When shoes get stuck somewhere between a sandal and a boot or shoe, that’s when things usually go wrong. This one is just plain confusing. If it didn’t have the giant “tongue” making up the majority of the shoe, the rest of the components are pretty cute.

If you like these shoes for some reason, you can get the BCBGirls Crust now at Dillard’s in Taupe or Black suede for just under $100.

Gucci Grease High-Heel Platform Sandal

Kori Ellis — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:11:54 +0000

Last week when I made my Top 10 Orange Patent Leather Shoes list, if we weren’t limiting it to patent leather, these orange suede shoes would have definitely made the list.

The Gucci Grease High-Heel Platform Sandal features rich orange suede throughout this slingback design. What I really love is the dark cork platform and heel.

Lighter cork is being used by many designers right now, and this darker version is a fresh alternative. The gold Gucci signature GG detail on the platform is a nice touch.

These Gucci sandals are available right now at Neiman Marcus for $595. They are still having their free shoe bag deal going on. So, you will get free NM Exclusive Butterly Shoe Bag with purchase.
