When I see some of the variations of these heels I can imagine why it probably wasn’t as popular as it could’ve been. There is quite a bit going on, ankle cuffs with open toes and straps that cross over with small buckles.
However when I look at this particular style for some reason I immediately think of Napoleon Bonaparte, an Admiral’s uniform or something slightly regal.
I feel as though I shouldn’t really like them because I’ve always found that colour of gold a bit garish, but I really, really like the cuffs.
As of writing this post (November 2009), surprisingly the heels are actually still available at Flannels and are on sale.
