Oh yea. By far, these are the shoes in my colllection that get the most attention. These are actually the very first pair of outrageous shoes I ever purchased. Made by one of my favorite
designers, Chinese Laundry, these shoes are HOT. Don't get duped though on pricing- I've seen sites sell them for quite a bit more, but on the Chinese Laundry site they are listed for $129, and I have seen them for as low as $109 on other sites. Either way, they are *totally* worth the price. This is more of what I expect for $100+ pair of shoes.
They pack a huge punch with large, gorgeous rhinestones that sparkle in any light. They also are on for the long haul.. they are stitched on with fine acrylic thread. Needless to say, you never have to worry about one popping off and loosing it forever when you accidentally brush your shoe up against something.
I've only worn these fabulous shoes out once, paired with a little black dress, to the casino. They certainly turned heads, and I was actually stopped by a pair of little old ladies who were marveling at them... they commented on how beautiful they were and how hard they must be to walk in. Actually, they are quite easy to wear, even though it boasts a 5+" heel. They feature a real leather sole and a padded footbed for added comfort. I was able to do 6 pm to 4 am without taking them off, including dinner and dancing. Sure, my feet were a little cranky... but so was I since after all... I was still up at 4 am.
Chinese Laundry, in general, has never disappointed me with quality and workmanship. Its a bit hit or miss sometimes design-wise (for me, anyway) but they are a favorite haunt of mine. Plus, if you love an outrageous shoe, The Money Maker is a surefire knockout.
