I haven't been a fan of Vuitton in a while and this fall was no exception. These wedges are no gem, but they definitely caught my eye enough to make me take a peak at the Summer 2008 collection LV is offering up. There are certain aspects of the shoe that are intriguing: the wooden wedge is very cool, especially with the stripe detail. But what do you think about the buttons? Too much or just right?
I have to admit even as I'm writing, they are growing on me. But beware, these shoes require a) a brave girl b) the right outfit and c) walking lessons because those things are sky high.
PS: Using alligator is so unnecessary, you can't even see the detail, what was the point?
PPS if I were going to drop $3000 dollars on a pair of sandals, I would make damn well sure they were at least attractive...or have some super power.... or double as some sort of high tech gadget...

What is up with LV they are eternally expensive and haven't made any good shoes for ages. When they create a good collection it is almost always quite safe and when they do push the boat out it turns into a shipwreck. Does anyone remember a nice pair of LV shoes?
PS: remember those awful gold circle heeled sandals? i think i just threw up a bit in my mouth.
I know last time I saw a cool pair of LV shoes was about 3years ago it was a pair of pink patent ankle boots, I wore them once and they are so uncomfortable that they are sitting in my closet forever.
At least they look super cute.
