Dior Maya Straw-Heel Pump

Filed under Pumps
For Spring, I’m seeing a lot of interestingly heeled shoes, including cork, lucite and other materials. Here’s a pump from Dior that also fits the bill.
Featuring blue leather and cream topstitching, this peeptoe pump has a woven straw heel that sits on a goldtone pedestal. These are definitely unique but I’m not sure if they are attractive.
What do you think? Are these pumps pretty? Would you buy them? (Ignore the fact they are over $1,100.)
If you like the Dior Maya Straw-Heel Pump, you can order it now at Neiman Marcus.
