To Heel & Back: The Yves Saint Laurent "Tribute" Mary Janes

[HauteMama]

although this may be an unpopular opinion - to me they just look like fetish shoes.....

absolutely not my cup of tea.

I agree.

Victoria Beckham was wearing the red pair on her birthday. I liked them, though I'd fall flat on my face too

I loved this shoe when I saw them in the Vogue months back and the SA called me to try them on as soon as they got them.

Sadly, I went home empty handed. Even in the carpeted boutique, every step I took made me feel like I was going to take a tumble and crack my head open. And ME, whose shoe collection consists of 20+ pairs of 5inch heels!

I saw these when I was in Paris, and really wanted them. I didn't get them then because I thought certainly I could get them at teh YSL boutique here. To no avail. The boutique here still has these crazy platform versions, but what I want is the regular version. I agree the pic posted in the OP is extreme, but it's quite a classy-looking shoe without the platform and with slightly less extreme heel. The closest I have been able to find here is on the saks website. I would rather have the mary jane, but the slingback may have to do!

If I could walk in them...I'd love them.

Those are beautiful. And yes, they do look sort of fetishy but I like that! I probably would never buy them though. That's a little too high to wear to work and I rarely wear heels anywhere else.

 

[fieryfashionist]

Not my style

 

[TammyD]

Wow. I won't know how to walk in them.

i just bought myself the ones with shorter heel version- soo comfy

What I find interesting is how our relationship and perception of the high heel has changed over the last couple years. We have quite the homage going to the YSL tributes, for example, which has an equally high heel!

It's the strap that makes it a little "Festishy!"

Isnt it funny? I was reading the thread and though hmm...by now so many of us are in love with these lol
and they look so amazing on btw and not really fetishy at all in my opinion

 

[MintChip7]

Might be a dumb question... but wouldn't walking in these shoes be almost the same as walking in the YSL tributes, or tribtoos? The heel height is the same isn't it?

I agree -- I actually like these much more than the Trib Toos .
