I got so many compliments on these boots yesterday, I thought I would share them. They are from Finsk Autumn Winter 2009/2010. Julia Lundsten, the designer, is a friend of mine and one of the best shoe designers when it comes making fantastic, wearable shoes. It is always very hard to find fashion forward day shoes that don’t have a ridiculously high heel, Finsk is a great brand for just that. Another one is Chie Mihara, I own about four or five pairs from them too.
The problem with a lot of designer shoes is that they are normally super high and very fragile, not exactly what you want to wear to work every day. I have spent hours in the shoe departments of Selfridges or Harvey Nichols trying to find something ultra cool but also with a heel only four inches high, and sturdy enough that I can clomp around in them all day. Frankly, there aren’t enough brands that make shoes like this. Aside from Finsk and Chie Mihara, I have also had luck with Dries Van Noten shoes and Marc Jacobs sometimes makes a great boot, although I have never managed to find something in my size.
These boots have a hidden platform for extra height and comfort.
