[…] receives many, many shoes as the gifts from the manufacturers, most of which, because he is particular about his feetwear, he tosses into the big box destined for the charity, to provide the shoes for the homeless street […]

Well, I believe Mr. Blahnik would serve himself better with a handmade Italian shoe–I am thinking of either a Berluti or a Bontoni.

I once again bow to the genius that is the Manolo.

The slingbacks of The Maestro are the finest in the land. I have them in a delicious shade of caramel and do not leave home without them. They are, in my vast shoe experience, the only sling back that does not slip down–which is ever so unattractive and makes you go step, step, tug, to keep the inferior shoes on your feet so they don’t end up going slap, slap, slap like a flip flop.

As for roughing it: anything less than 4 stars and/or any hotel that does not offer 24 hour room service.

Oh. I had never heard of Lobb shoes. I clicked, thinking I might some day save enough money to get my husband a pair of such gorgeous shoes.

I clicked on the pricelist. Do any of y’all remember the gesture that Redd Foxx’s character used to use when his son Lamar would say something upsetting? The hand to the heard and stagger?

Yeah, that’s what I did.

A pair of Lobb shoes. Manolo joins The Prince of Wales as a wearer of this fine footwear; though I hear that HRH, he slips off the Lobbs and dons the wellingoton boots when in pursuit of the wild boar!

But our dear Manolo might not need the lovely slingbacks to contemplate in order to keep up his spirits if he instead chose to have “Thomas’ Guide to Practical Shipbuilding”, as suggested by G.K. Chesterton.

“Whatever” with the punctuation - the Manolo slingbacks were the first pair of Manolos the Diva Leigh ever purchased, and those shoes are simply perfect everywhere!

And here was the Fred, admiring the Manolo for his choice of the Shoe Tree as the essential for the Desert Island. The finest shoes I had assumed as a given, that the Manolo would never be so unprepared as to abandon the ship un-fantastically attired. And in the life-or-death situation, the Tree of the Shoe could be used for firewood, or to pummel the villain who would dare to sneak off with the John Lobb shoe in the dark of the night.

Here, I thought: “‘Johb Lobb’! What an interesting name…”

And then; what beautiful things.

The desertwind likes things.
