Real vs. Steal – Proenza Schouler Platform Pumps

by Vahni on May 19, 2010

So I think we can all safely assume that ultra-high platforms that are a cross between a sandal and a bootie are here to stay. Frankly, I’m so glad. I know there is a practicality in wearing flats, but given the choice, I beeline for the highest heel on the rack every time. And platforms make five-inch heels totally wearable because the platform provides a bit of cushion and reduces the severity of the arch.

Kim’s Proenza Schouler Platform Pumps are fabulous example of the current state of feminine footwear. They are sexy, strong—and as you can see by the shots of Kim below—extremely versatile.

If you’re looking for a shoe that can do triple duty (as in with shorts, pants, and dresses), these Shiekh Isra-24 Platform Sandals are not only an excellent option, but a downright bargain. This is an outrageously good-looking pair for the money; there’s no way anyone would ever guess they are just a little under $50. Even I’m extremely tempted to order them up. They’d be perfect for those hot summer date nights.
