Otherwise known as the “Strappy Elastic & Suede Ankle Boot or Bootie” by YSL.
I’ll be honest, when I first saw the side profile of these heels, I didn’t even look twice.
Then I came across them again and my first thought (yes, The Pessimist) is that, well, if you’ve ever owned heels with some sort of elastic in it – including the elastic that is used with small buckle – they all eventually stretch and end up looking horrible.

Even the top profile didn’t really do it for me, until I saw the photos of Diane Kruger sporting them at the Mr. Nobody Premiere.
Then again, she’d look fabulous in a wet paper bag.
Yes, it means I’ve been converted.
I think the detail of the strap crossing over at the top of the ankle really set them off. The Black Divine heels are made in Italy.
