Flats! Fast!

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.

My dearest Manolo,

It seems that my daily run combined with “excessive” (according to my doctor) wearing of stilettos have given me both a heel spur and plantar fascitis, which makes walking feel very much like there is a very sharp dagger stabbing me in the heel. I am prohibited from wearing anything but flats for (gasp!) at least a YEAR. To make matters worse, I have to wear an orthotic heel cup, so anything that doesn’t cover the Cold War Era Soviet utilitarianistic hideousness of said cup, is out of the question. I should be somewhat excited to be shopping for an entirely new shoe wardrobe, but I feel so limited.

I need flats for every occasion/ensemble (ie. cocktails, barbeque, lunch with the girls, running errands, semi-formal occasions, night on the town, etc.) and I need them fast. Style-wise, I’m very much into classics with a twist of attitude. I am currently wearing tennis shoes with everything, and it makes me feel very housefrau. Please, please, please help. Please. Please. (This is me, with the begging.)

Your faithful,

Danielle

Ayyyyyyy! To be limited by the painful circumstances to only wearing the flats would truly be the fashion emergency. Happily, the Manolo stands ready to make the few suggestions to ease his friend’s trauma. You can always do the TOMS free shipping, as well as these trendy flats.

Here is the attitudinous satin flat from the Pedro Garcia in the color called “pewter”, which would be good for the wearing during the evening, either dressed up or dressed down.

Three words: Red Patent Leather!

For the more casual times the Manolo likes this driving moccasin from the Prada.

And, finally, for the barbeques, the Manolo gives you the perfect shoe…

These from the inimitable Beverly Feldman are so cutesy with the raffia and the gingham fabric and the cloth berries. Are they not exactly what you would wish to wear with the the capri pants while enjoying the afternoon out in the backyard?

Riding Boots for the Short Girl

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked him the question.

Dear Manolo,

I’m really short, about 5’1”. Is it better for me to wear boots with a bit of heels? I’ve had my eyes on a pair of classic riding boots from Prada. Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Love,

Peggy

What is there to think about? These are emphatically handsome boots in the very classic shape. They would be the good addition to any wardrobe, and you would get much use of them over the coming decades.

Perhaps the Peggy is worried that her lower leg is too short to carry off the knee-high boot. The Manolo thinks that unless she is exceptionally short legged, this will not be the the case. But, only the trying them on will tell, as the boots should not go over her knee, rather should stop just below the knee.

Of the course, what the Peggy really wants from the Manolo is reassurance about purchasing that which she already powerfully desires. To which the Manolo can only say go for it! He commends her on her good taste and knows that she will get much pleasure from wearing these boots.

The Smart Bargains

Manolo says, one of the places of the online that the Manolo he has recently discovered for the bargain shoe shopping is the SmartBargains.com. This place it often has the beautiful designer shoes at the inexpensive prices.

For the example, this pair of the classic Prada riding boots, they are over 50% off of the usual price.

Yes, as with many of the interent shoe bargains, the selection of the sizes it is limited. In the case of these boots to only the size six or the size seven, but if this it is your size, this it is the quality item that will long be the part of your wardrobe.

Here is another of the shoe bargains, this one for the big-feeted girl.

This open toe pump from the Yves Saint Laurent Rive Guache, it is only available in the size eleven, but this shoe it is selling for 65% off of the regular price.

The selection of the shoes at the SmartBargains.com it is not especially wide, however, the prices they cannot be bested, and until the end of the month of the May, if you purchase more than the $300 of the American dollars worth of the goods, the SmartBargains they will give you the additional $30 off of the purchase price! This it is indeed the most super fantastic and super smart bargain.
