Chloe Pointy Toe Flat Skimmers

Kori Ellis — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:58:05 +0000

I am a big fan of pointy toe shoes (and yes, I know they can be damaging to your feet). But can a shoe be too pointy? Check out this skimmer from Chloé.

The elongated pointed toe of these flat skimmers make them look like witch shoes (plus make your feet look really big). I love the color and the cutouts near the back. I adore the glossy patent and the croc-embossed detailing at the heel. But, these are just too pointy for me.

How about you? Do you like these Chloé flats? If so, you can pre-order them right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $490.

As we all know, plaid is really, really big right now. Last week, I posted about the Arabella red plaid shoes from Guess, which are a great if you are looking for a pump.

However, if you are interested in a flat shoe rather than a heel, check out the Kate Spade Polly.

This cute skimmer makes for a great holiday shoe. These shoes are festive yet preppy all at once. The little bow is also a nice touch. You can get these shoes right now at Zappos for a little under $300.

Silhouettes has proven that fashions for women size 12 and up don’t have to be frumpy. They offer a great variety of terrific apparel from updated classics to special occasion attire.

And even more, Silhouettes has shoes!

This winter’s must-have leather and suede boots – available in sizes 7-12 in medium, wide and extra-wide widths – jumpstart any holiday look.

Silhouettes also offers boots in a variety of calf widths to provide an all-around perfect fit. Ballet flats designed in velvet and patent leather, round toe pumps with colorful accents, and elegant dress shoes will add an element of cosmopolitan style to any outfit.

In some shoe styles, I need wide width shoes and unfortunately it’s oftentime difficult find some chic footwear in wide sizes. Recently I got a couple pair of wedges from Silhouettes and they are really great.

At Silhouettes.com, you can find an array of terrific shoes for the holiday season in wonderful fabrics such as suede, velvet, patent and quilted leather.

Their prices are very affordable. The Quilted Skimmer pictured comes in black, pewter and bronze in multiple widths, including Med (B), Wide (D) and Extra-Wide (EE). These shoes are only $44.

These patent leather skimmers are a trendy twist on basic flats. The Micheal Kors Romp comes in bright yellow patent, black patent, red patent or Tmoro suede.

They have a cute zipper adornment on the toe and a lot of adorable details. The leather is perforated throughout, giving them a textured look.
