Manolo the Columnist
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,
I will be in my sister-in-law’s September wedding party, wearing a beautiful sable brown bridesmaid’s dress, just below the knee in length. I need your expertise in finding a pair of classic (AND comfortable) high heel shoes in a gold or sable color.

Manolo says, the Manolo adores the September weddings, mostly because he adores the September. Here in the heat of July, when every foot seems to have on it the plastic flip-flop or the loathsome Croc, the Manolo longs for September and its simple shoe pleasures.
Yes, September may still be hot, but the promise of cooler weather is at hand, and the glorious color of October and the familial pleasures of November and December are mere weeks away.
More than June and May, September is the month of new beginnings, when we put behind us the frivolity of summer youthfulness and take the next step toward growing up.
And so, what better time than September to join with the other person in the bonds of matrimony? What better time to take the step away from solipsistic youth into the satisfying responsibilities of adulthood?
The Manolo thinks that bronze would be better than gold for this Septembery sable dress. Here is the Napoli by Lumiani, the perfect shoe for your needs.
Manolo,
You speak knowingly of the shoes and which is why I must write to you. Recently there has been the disturbing car bombing attempt in Glasgow. As you may remember the driver of the car bomb was kicked in the “privates” by Alex a passing Scottish taxi driver.
Alex, the Scottish taxi driver kicked him the car bomber so hard that he tore a tendon. And to add insult to injury the police confiscated his Nike “gutties” which cost 50 pounds and they issued him a parking ticket.
Can the Manolo advise a pair of shoes that would be useful in kicking a man in the “privates” without tearing one’s tendon? The Manolo’s advice would be indeed useful in such a circumstance.
Incidentally Alex the taxi driver chose a pair of white Lacoste Strobes for 70 pounds after it was learned that the police confiscated his shoes.
Many thanks for this advice.
Those are fabulous. My bridesmaids are wearing dark chocolate brown with bronze/gold shoes as well. I will have to show these to them…they are just gorgeous!
I like the color of these shoes and the style. I think these would be really fun in the autumn with a nice dress or pantsuit outfit.
Those are really pretty. I like expensive (looking) metallic shoes.
