If you fancy the look of vintage design, give these T-straps a whirl. They’re surprisingly comfortable because the toe box is roomy, the leather soft, the heel stable and the footbed fairly cushioning. With a three and a half inch heel, they’re too high to be anything but “sitting shoes” for me, but that might not be the case for you, especially if you work at a desk for most of the day.

They would also make a good occasion shoe, adding a refreshing touch to an existing dress or suit. They look smashing under slacks or skinny jeans and just beautiful with a skirt. The T-strap style also makes for a fabulous year round shoe because they look magical paired with fun textured hose.

Both colours are pretty, but I personally prefer the grey just because it works better with my colouring. At $89.95, it’s not a bad deal for quite a nicely made shoe.
