I’m becoming a big Nine West fan – their shoes are affordable, well-made and designs lately have been just superb. I was stocked to receive these bright yellow canvas booties in the mail and wear them on my trip to Coney Island (post about that coming later! :)).
Quality-wise, these are excellent. The top part and heel are covered in canvas; toes wrapped in yellow leather to protect the edges from getting dirty. I especially liked how they made the soles fuzzy for extra traction.
My only criticism is their walkability (yes, it’s a word now!). In spite of great cushioning and a comfy fit, a 4″ heel without a platform in the front will turn you into a cripple and have you begging for a motor chair within 15 minutes! This may not be true for larger sizes (the smaller the foot, the lower its high-heel tolerance) but my 7.5 size feets pretty much said ‘nuh uh’ by the time I got to the subway. Of course, beautiful things often require sacrifices and I was more than willing to make one for these babies. ;) Besides, there is some room in the foot so I’m thinking of padding them to elevate the sole and de-extremize the angle a little. Oh, the things we’ll do for beautiful shoes!

You’re too pretty! It’s not fair.
Stop it. =P
Lovely shoes, lovely outfit, lovely you! I believe I have tried that red hair color before and loved it! Looks great on you! I went back to being a brunette for the first time in oh.. about 10 years. Haha, I like it though, it suits me. <3
I really love the shoes and how you added purple socks with them, too cute!
Ahhh I love those shoes! (And your Mika tshirt)
Miss X, for what it’s worth, I can wear anywhere between an 8 and 9 (though mostly 9s lately), and a 4″ heel can still make me feel like a cripple!
I love the new hair! And Nine West has been getting really nice. I bought a couple great pairs of shoes from them last year, and a nice bag, too.
I like your outfit. And I think we have almost the same haircolor. Mine is bit lighter I think.
Oh they are beautiful shoes! That colour is just gorgeous! I wish the big thing wasn’t for 4 inch heels. I’m finding gorgeous shoes now but they all have 4 inch. I can do 3 and a half inch at a push but the extra half makes a difference.
Surely they can make something that will stop pain from heels by now instead of just telling us girls to wear flatter shoes. *Gasp* Shocking suggestion!
I love your outfit!
And those shoes are adorable. I love how bright and vibrant they are! Surely I’d need a lot of practice to walk in those.

I love impractical shoes, they’re so much fun.
I think lace-up heels can be hit or miss and those are definitely a hit. They make me want to wear more yellow!
Oh wow, they’re amazing~
Are these available online?
Oh how I wish yellow went with my skin tone…. I don’t normally care but with yellow I just look terrible :/ Those shoes are great! I too cannot resist the call of impractical but stylish shoes!
I love the new haircolor too, but I have to say, I miss that blue stripe in your bangs you used to have :)
Wow, for Nine West, those are totally amazing! Love the vibrant yellow!
P.S. I’m not seeing them on the website. Did you buy them in one of their stores?
Oh my! Those shoes are fantastic! I adore the color, and although they may be uncomfortable they are really the icing on the cake of your adorable outfit! I love your new hair color, its stunning! I love the cut of your hair too. :p I hope you had fun at Coney Island!
Killer shoes! And I love how you tied them around the back. :)
Those are amazing. I curse the day my local Nine West store closed!
♣ Kenni
Sorry ;-P
♣ Aether
Well, that would explain why I instantly thought of you when I first saw my new hair :)
♣ Valentina
I am a big Mika fan!
♣ Ashe Mischief
I honestly don’t understand why designers insist on making those impossible heels… Anything over 3.5″, leave it to Mosh! ;)
♣ Mini
My hair is almost electric red right now. Crazy! I bet it’ll wash out though.
♣ Clara
I think it’s already been invented. It’s called Morphine. ;)
♣ Jennifer
Lace-ups are usually not my thing either – too sporty. But these just work, probably because of the lovely color.
♣ Ngoc
I’m not sure, I got them at a physical store here in NY.
♣ Sheila
I miss it too, sometimes. ;) After all, bright blue is one of my favorite colors! :D
♣ Nubby
I got them at a designer discount store called Century 21 (we should all go when you’re in NYC! It’s fun! :)). After some digging, a shocking discovery: they are almost an exact copy of Dries van Notens, ha!
The outfit really compliments the shoes :)
I love the new shade of red too.
I like your yellow shoes better than the Dries van Notens shoes xD
They have a lot more spunk!!!
<3
