Have you ever seen a pair of Nine West Folowe Pumps in Red Blooms Floral - or ever held a feathery pair? They offer the pure pleasure of perfection. You can see them popping up lately, in streetwear silhouette, matched with Dolce & Gabbana’s floral-print leggings, making a duet of blooms—petal upon petal, like a garden in motion, or paired with the new, high-waisted barrel leg jeans, lending a flash of elegance, a bright flourish against dull denim. They’re visions, wrought as if by the hand of Michelangelo, who once from marble freed David’s pose, or da Vinci, whose brush summoned the Mona Lisa’s secret smile. In form, they’re d’Orsay cut, sporting curves as deliberate as the Sistine vaults arch. The stiletto heels rise with the ambition of a cathedral’s spire - neither too proud nor too meek, but balanced, like the symmetry of a butterfly’s painted wings. Upon their surface, blood red blooms unfurl - petals as vivid as spring’s first flush - each blossom a testament to an artist’s hand, in riots of color and romance that dance with the same spirit as a flowerbed at dawn. No flaws mar their making: the stitchings are true, the fits precise—as if tailored by the muses themselves. Each pair offers its own unique foliations, bespeaking the freedom of a craftsman’s careful art. Lastly, of course, they’re marvels of harmonious function, lightly cradling and lifting each step - comfort and glamour aren’t adversaries here, but partners in making each step a sonnet and each stride an artist's brushstroke. Now, maybe you aren’t into fashion - perhaps you’re a male - oh, poor you, I’m sorry, but maybe, just maybe, in times of chaos, you long for the pleasure of inexpensive perfection. . .

<3 . Never could manage heels, let alone stilettos, comfortably. They look beautiful but, PAINful. Besides, being TALL I didn’t need the height. Flats punctuated my boring Case Manager attire. Having said that, if the MPH thing doesn’t work out, I concur with Arlo. You could copywrite Madison Av. into the ground. . . I LIKE the photo.

I don't wear high heels a lot but when I do, I know I'm really dressed to the nines like a grown-up, like I always imagined it. I had to practice a lot before they became second nature, but now I don't find them that uncomfortable. I might add that I don't think I've ever worn them for more than maybe three hours at a time. It was kind of an exercise to see what exactly I could say about something as mundane as a pair of shoes. =]

I like the “Dawn To Dusk” design but unless it’s cold, I don’t do High Tops.
